From the reviews
The cardio kickboxing is a great work out! It has been helping me to achieve my weight loss goals (along with a better diet). I feel stronger and have seen improvements in my physical abilities. The other people that attend are wonderful, friendly and just want to help you achieve your goals.
I've been involved in the Martial Arts for 35 years. Ed Carr is an outstanding coach and Instructor. A truly caring teacher !! Tokyo Joe's / Team Link Hooksett is the only place in NH I ever recommend ! The best of the best for both traditional and REAL competitive training !
Absolutely excellent! A serious fighting gym. One can get an intense workout and learn self-defense or train to compete at Tokyo Joe's. It is the place to go for MMA, jiu-jitsu or simply to get in shape. Ed and his instructors, are the best you'll ever find.
Shihan Carr is a natural leader who runs a clean, disciplined dojo. My son has been taking the youth Kempo Karate course for the past 4 months and he absolutely loves it…he always tells me what time it is as we get closer and closer to driving to karate class to make sure we show up on time, lol!
Your first Karate class at Tokyo Joe's Studios of Self Defense/Team Link NH
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.
