From the reviews
Looking for an amazing place for your kiddo with special abilities to focus their energy and learn beneficial skill sets with welcome arms. This is the place for your kiddo. Special Ninjas Therapeutic Marshall Arts teaches so many different skill sets for daily life as well as helping with behavioral issues.
We booked time in one of the open play times and met up with some friends for a playdate. It was such a nice space to just let the kiddos explore and play. I have a runner, so it's really nice to have an enclosed space where he can burn off energy safely and I can actually relax and enjoy them without stressing about…
Sensei has been an amazing influence on our daughter with sensory processing disorder. This program has been great and we are so glad that we found it. We have gotten her into a few activities, but she loves Special Ninjas above all. It’s also great watching all the progress from class to class!
My son absolutely loves learning Martial Arts here! Sensei Rachelle and her team are so patient and accommodating for him. I have seen such a change in his overall respect and discipline. Highly recommended for special needs kiddos of all abilities.
Your first Karate class at Special Ninjas Therapeutic Martial Arts
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.
