From the reviews

Son had his consoltation today and I was highly impressed. The program encourages displine and respect inside the studio and out (home and school). The incentive program is genious and provides students something to look forward to. Excellent customer service, thourough description of program, and clean studio.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Jul 2022

So, we just had my son's 6th birthday party at Warhorse. It was AMAZING! Seriously. Amazing. We've done birthday parties all over the place and this was the best! The kids loved it. My son, nor any of the others, had ever done any karate before. But the class is tailored to their level (both skill and age).

★★★★★ — Jonathon, Dec 2018

Both my boys love Warhorse Post Falls. Mr. Salsby, an amazing instructor, keeps the children learning, engaged, and accountable. My oldest is 10 and the proud owner of his brown belt. He’s been in the program for over 5 years. My youngest, age 8, started his program two years ago.

★★★★★ — Gina, May 2024

One of my kids has come here for a couple of years now. He can be a little bit shy, but Mr. Salsby clicked with him immediately and he’s just completely devoted to class.

Your first Karate class at Warhorse Karate • Jiu Jitsu

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.
