From the reviews

We love our neighborhood dojo! Our 6 year old goes to the after school program. He’s picked up safely from school and is brought to the location in Grand Central which is so convenient. The karate program has been wonderful for building his skills, confidence and self awareness. The coaches are so kind.

The whole crew here is so awesome. The kids absolutely love being here and participating in the after school program and evening karate. Such a great way to blend an after school activity with discipline and self defense techniques.

Your first Karate class at St Pete Fight Team

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.
