From the reviews
My five year old has been in Sensei Shawna's class for six months, and it's been amazing to watch his abilities transform -- both in the dojo and off it. I don't know how she does it, but she makes managing 4-7 year old martial arts look like a breeze, when we all know it's usually more like herding cats.
Little hard to find, but great place, especially for young child. Our 5 year old daughter has already leaned a lot, both Karate and concentration. Hight recommend!
So far I have been highly impressed with everything I have seen at the school, and I have seen many schools from the inside and have quite a bit of reference to go by. The school’s leadership care a great deal about its students as well as maintaining the rich history of their unique style of karate.
My son has been taking classes here for almost two years and he loves it. Sensei Shawna is wonderful! There are lots of young and older kids just learning as well as more advanced belt ranks for them to learn from. It's a great extracurricular activity for building confidence, strength, and focus while having fun.
Your first Karate class at Yoseikan Anderson Karate School
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.
