From the reviews
When I realized my son had delays in OT & PT, and was on the road to be diagnosed with ADD, I decided to get him in martial arts. From the very first day, I knew we made the right choice by choosing WCMA!! Everyone there is so kind and knowledgeable, and welcomed my son.
I must say this is a great place to train if you are in the area it's a must to check them out. Professor Morris is a great instructor and has a great team of instructors for all of their martial arts. I've always had a good experience when I'm in town.
I’ve been taking classes at WCMA for almost 10 years now! I can’t say enough about the staff there and how they’ve become a second family to me. The classes are also run by highly skilled black belts. This is best place to go to as a woman in Jiu Jitsu too.
My son has been training with Aaron Morris for three years, while my husband and I have been training for two and a half years. We love it! Whether you're an experienced grappler or a beginner starting your BJJ journey, Hands down, this is one of the best gyms out there. The kids' instructors are truly fantastic!
New to Karate? Start at World Class Martial Arts
World Class Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. 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 World Class 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.
