“Taekwondo is helping me be more disciplined, focused and confident.”

From the reviews

I’ve really enjoyed learning Taekwondo from Master Killebrew. I was looking for a fun way to get my body moving and I found that and more. Taekwondo is helping me be more disciplined, focused and confident.

★★★★★ — Hannah, Sep 2024

Great, family-oriented karate school. Schedule and instruction is very accommodating of all ages and skill levels.

★★★★★ — Braxton, Sep 2024

This place and instructor are a gem to the community. In a family oriented environment children build confidence while learning essential life skills such as respect, self-defense, and self-control all while building confidence and learning the skilled essentials of martial arts. I highly recommend without reservation.

★★★★★ — Miki, Jul 2026

I just had my first class yesterday, and it went really well. Master Killebrew is very patient and articulate in his instruction. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend checking out if interested in karate or taekwondo.

Your first Karate class at Southern Indiana Karate

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
