From the reviews
If I could give 10 stars I would!! Mr. Rick, Mr. RJ and Mr. Connor were absolutely fantastic for our two boys that took classes there. They were patient, helpful, and even with a dozen wild kids running around they still made individual intentional effort with everyone.
My son has been attending Vitali Family Karate for almost 2 years now and absolutely loves it! They've helped to refine his focus, respect for others, and self-control. Mr. Rick and Mr.
Vitali Family Karate is an amazing place. The instructors knew my son’s name after only one class; they really put time and effort into making every kid feel welcomed and apart of something great. There is a very healthy balance between teaching the discipline of karate and having fun.
My 9yo daughter has been training at Vitali Family Karate for over 2 years. I cannot say enough good things about Vitali Karate and Sensei’s Rick and RJ. These two men love each and every one of their students and make them feel important and included.
Your first Karate class at Vitali Family Karate
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.
