★★★★★ — Danette, Jul 2015

Great school for kids & they have great adult classes as well. Instructors are professional & I couldn't be happier that my son goes here.

★★★★★ — Heléna, Aug 2016

I have had the privilege of working with the grand master and his students on numerous occasions, and the experience has been truly remarkable. The grand master’s seamless approach to his sessions fosters a natural flow that enhances content creation and learning.

★★★★★ — Unise, Jun 2025

My 4 year old started the karate class here about 4 months ago. He's learned so much already he ranked up two belts. I'm also in the kickboxing class. I joined to lose weight and get in shape. Bonus was learning self defense as well. Before I knew it my strength and endurance had increased dramatically.

Your first Karate class at Universal Warrior Mixed Martial Arts

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.
