From the reviews

Could not ever image a better dojo to be a part of. All of the instructors are amazing and Sensei Brenda is the best teacher and mentor I could have asked for for my kids. Valor MA will cure every bad feeling you've gotten from franchise schools.

My 5 year old son just finished up his sixth week at Valor Academy and I couldn't be happier! From the minute I went to Valor to find out about their program, I was impressed. The office staff are the kindest, most helpful people. The program is very affordable and flexible.

★★★★★ — Jeanne, Feb 2019

I’ve had two of my children at Valor Academy. I am impressed by Sensei Brenda and her dedication to hard work, obedience, perseverance, success, and inclusion. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, the monthly cost is appropriate, the dojo is clean, and my daughter is thoroughly enjoying it.

Your first Karate class at Valor Academy of 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.
