From the reviews
The kids love coming to Karate class. Tye Sensai is good with kids, and it shows with the class size. Good fun and fitness for the kids all the way up to the adults.
I have two of my kids in the karate classes and they enjoy there time here. They have exceptional instructors and Sensei Jony is great. I think this classes are great not just for learning the karate but also for the dicipline, respect, and motivation. I really recommend this place.
ZBK is amazing! Best choice we could've made for our family. Sensei Jony's love and passion both for the sport of karate but also for teaching and raising up the next generation is unparalleled. He has built an amazing team of senseis and senpais to continue to grow the school.
I Have My Son In Karate. He Loves It. It Keeps Him Motivated, Disciplined And Learning. Sensei Jony is A Great Instructor. Not Only Does He Teaches Karate But Also implements Respect And Discipline During Classes. I Truly Recommend It.
New to Karate? Start at Z.B.K. Karate Team
Z.B.K. Karate Team 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 Z.B.K. Karate Team
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.
