From the reviews
For the best nine years of my life of being a student at this dojo, Tracy's truly deserves more stars than google will let me provide. I can't even begin to put into words how much this dojo means to me, and the impact it had on my life. Tracy's has taught me so, so much.
I would give Tracy’s Karate 10 stars if I could! They have it all as a martial arts school. The self defense system they teach is effective, practical, and no nonsense. The methods they use to teach are tried and true utilizing private lessons so the techniques can be be taught based on each individual’s needs.
My sons have been going to group and private lesson at Tracy’s since Feb 2018 (now grades 5th and 8th grade). They each have an amazing instructors that teaches them the art of Kempo Karate and the importance of how and when to use the skills they learn.
Learning Martial arts at Tracy's has been a really great experience for me. I get along great with my instructor, and I have become much more confident in my ability to defend myself in any situation. In general taking lessons at tracy's has improved my overall self esteem & my confidence.
Your first Karate class at Tracy's Karate Studio
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.
