From the reviews

We had been working with another studio before coming to TruMotion. We had a few problems with the other place but wanted to continue with karate. After a introduction lesson with Sensei Mark, we could instantly see that this studio would be different.

★★★★★ — Kyle, Feb 2021

When my 4 year old daughter said she wanted to be a ninja and take karate, I didn't think it would last long or be a great experience. But we have loved working with Sensei Mark at TruMotion.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Oct 2021

We just wanted to get my 11 year old involved with something in the off seasons of Football. My son has struggled with anxiety for several years. You would never know now, that's what he struggles with. Since February when we signed him up, he has grown so much mentally and physically.

★★★★★ — Stacy, Nov 2021

Trying to find something for my 9 year old son to get involved in, USSD of South Jordan came into our lives. We were given a free first lesson to try them out. My son loved it! Now 3 years later, my son, now 12, has excelled in his martial arts skills and his confidence has grown so much!

Your first Karate class at TruMotion Martial Arts - South Jordan

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.
