From the reviews
Zai Marital Arts is the best thing that has happened to my son. My son began when he couldn’t do any steps and had no interest. The instructors always take their time to work with every kid and encourage them in every step. My son has tremendously improved and loves this place.
I have attended ZMA academy for several years now and am impressed with Sifu Zai’s depth of martial arts experience and his skill and patience as an instructor. Martial arts training offers many benefits to children, in terms of discipline and self-esteem, but these same benefits accrue to adults as well.
I was only able to go to Zai Martial Arts Academy for a short time before I moved out of town but it was a fantastic experience. The people are friendly and welcoming and do an excellent job teaching both students and adults.
I have been a student at Zai Martial Arts for a month now. I first contacted them and asked the normal questions about classes offered, prices, etc., and was extremely pleased with their customer service which attracted me even more.
Your first Karate class at Zai Martial Arts Academy
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.
