From the reviews

Best Karate school ever!! At 30 years old I decided to take Karate 🥋 classes for the first time in my life. Before finding this academy, I visited 4 academies, and none of them convinced me. Beware, for many schools out there you are just a bag of money 💰 walking in.

Puse a mis niños Cielo y Ryan aquí para que mejorarán su salud con el ejercicio, recuerdo que el primer día mi hijo lloro y no quería entrar ,tenía miedo, también me acuerdo que el profesor y un alumno cinta negra lo animaron para entrar, así paso llorando 3 días, pero poco a poco el karate logro entrar a su corazón,…

Your first Karate class at World Tiger and Crane Goju-Ryu Karate-Do Organization

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.
