From the reviews
We LOVE the Utah Karate Institute!! Mike, the owner, is AMAZING!! He's a great Sensei, he's mastered the craft, he's great with the kids & parents, he connects with the kids through laughter & instruction & genuinely cares about each & every one of them even when it comes to personal matters with the kids at home.
If there is a finer, more comprehensive, more fun karate instruction in the United States— I’d like to see it! Mike Burke and his dedicated, amazing staff at Utah Karate Institute have programs tailored to every level of instruction: from the beginner to most advanced and anywhere in between.
Utah Karate Institute is wonderful! Mr. Burke, the sensei, is one of the best teachers of kids and teenagers I’ve ever met. The perfect balance of discipline and encouragement.
Such a great school. Teaching kids a physical discipline in an environment that encourages growth and builds self-esteem. Kids have been here 4 plus years.
Your first Karate class at Utah Karate Institute
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.
