From the reviews
Our 3 yo start taking private sessions in Z-Ultimate Self Defense Studios Greenwood Village couple of months ago and we LOVE every moment he spends there. Besides a joy of watching your child having fun, we already see improvement in his behavior, during the session as well as after.
My daughter has more self-confidence and feels safer after taking classes with Kristin. She really enjoys learning new things, and talks very positively about the class. It's a great class for youth, as it gives them skills and courage. I highly recommend Z Ultimate and Kristin!
I adore Z - Ultimate Self Defense Studios! I have been working with them for less than a year but I have thoroughly enjoyed every lesson with them. Everyone is extremely supportive and patient, and have a really good sense of humor.
My son and I have been going here for more than 3 months. Kristen, the Dojo owner, is an amazing instructor, and really good at tailoring group classes so that differing ranks can learn together, and from each other. I have already learned constructive self-defense techniques that I could use, and I love the sparring.
Your first Karate class at Z-Ultimate Self Defense Studios
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.
