From the reviews
After attending a birthday party for his older cousin, my son came home and decidedly ask us if he could join the Dojo. Having no experience of Karate/Jujitsu, we were not sure what to expect from a martial arts program.
Our family has nothing but good things to say about Warhorse. Very responsive to our questions, excellent with the kids. My son can have a hard time with focus and listening so I was concerned about signing him up but they promised me it would be fine and they were right.
Great teachers! Great program! Mr. Grey and Mr. Tong are very knowledgeable instructors and follow an authentic Karate & Gracie Ju Jitsu program that all ages can enjoy. They run a morally sound discipline with real world skills that anyone can benefit from.
I signed my son up for Warhorse Karate • Jiu Jitsu to see if it was a sport that he liked. My son still talks about his first meeting with Master Tong where it was explained to him that earning a black belt takes a lot of time and hard work and is similar to climbing a mountain.
New to Karate? Start at Warhorse Karate • Jiu Jitsu
Warhorse Karate • Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
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.
