Karate dojo Affiliated Kids & teens Competition team

Affiliated dojo — reviews and the dojo's own info point to a recognized Karate style organization or franchise (think Shotokan/JKA, Kyokushin, Goju-Ryu, Isshinryu, Tiger Schulmann's or Villari's). If lineage matters to you, ask which style and organization the dojo belongs to, and under whom the head sensei earned their black belt.

From the reviews

I have been taking karate at UKF for almost a year now and I love it. It is a great traditional shotokan dojo with wonderful instructors. I initially started with two days a week. A few months later, they asked me to join team UKF and now I go four days a week and am starting to compete in tournaments.

★★★★★ — Micah, May 2015

My six year old daughter has been interested in martial arts since seeing Kung Fu Panda a few years back. We just happened to run across a coupon for Ultimate Karate and Fitness (UKF) and decided to try them out. I have been very impressed with the instructors at UKF.

★★★★★ — Trevor, Nov 2012

We all like the dojo a lot. Family oriented. Sensei and teachers are very sincere and friendly. Students are given individual attention. Our both kids are enrolled here, one has completed over 8 years and has earned 2nd degree black belt. Second one is in 2nd year.

★★★★★ — Sudhi, Feb 2017

Best place for karate! We recently moved out of state. Our son had attended UKF for four years. We have tried no less than five karate places in our new location and none of them even come close to the excellence of UKF.

Your first Karate class at Ultimate Karate and Fitness Marietta

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.
