From the reviews
This is best karate studio you can go to in NE Ohio! You won't find a better, more experienced and more knowledgeable instructor than their Grand Master Mark Miller and it's a lot of fun! My only regret is that I didn't start going here years earlier. Karate is awesome! You know it, I know it, we all know it!
Mark Miller shows detailed analysis of each technique into a series of moves that creates a thunderstorm of Havoc to send an attacker to the promised land. I have taken on attackers and have put them upside down coughing up blood and begging for mercy from choking up blood.
We have been going to Tracys Karate for 4 plus years. The staff is absolutely amazing and the best of the best. The people who train there are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They treat us like family.
I've taken both my sons to Tracy's about 30 years ago. They loved it. They both became Brown belts. Now my son is taking 2 of my grandchildren to Tracy's. They absolutely love it. As a bonus, my son is also taking a refresher course.
New to Karate? Start at Tracy's Karate Studio
Tracy's Karate Studio comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
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.
