From the reviews
My son has been part of TKI for five months and I could not be more happy with his growth. In that short time, even his teacher noticed a positive difference in his focus, confidence, and discipline. Sensei Brown's approach is both fun and structured.
My 4 year old started going to TKI mid April of this year and we love it! Sensei is great teacher and he mixes fun with Karate instructions. He also teaches kids to be respectful and humble. This is great class to discipline and lay a good path for kids development.
After a very rough start to the school year, with an anxious, sensitive child, we were looking for a place for our 6 year old son to flourish and to gain some confidence. We had tried Karate at a different location previously and unfortunately, we just didn't feel it was the right fit for us.
TKI has been home for us for almost 2 years and we wouldn’t dream of sending our kids anywhere else. Sensei Brown and his team came highly recommended, they are serious about respect and discipline, and create a warm and inviting family atmosphere at the same time.
Your first Karate class at Twinsburg Karate Institute (TKI)
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.
