From the reviews
What a great place to be! Everyone is encouraged to participate; boys and girls, teens and adults. I am a nanny and my 6 yr old has been there 1 year ... he's developing discipline, always encouraged and he has earned his jr purple belt.
One of the BEST decisions I ever made was to take my family to this dojo! Kaicho Steve Curran and Soke Suzanne Curran run a professional school where students are taught the art of karate and the discipline of life.
Highly skilled instructors and a family friendly ethos with a focus on respect, responsibilty and self-improvement.
I've been a student here for almost 7 years. It's one of the best things I've done for myself and I recommend Martial Arts to anyone. That doesn't mean it's for everyone.
Your first Karate class at Steve Curran Academy of 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.
