Classes
What do I wear to my first class?
Wear comfortable clothes that are easy to run around in (not jeans) :
gym clothes, sweats and a t-shirt, yoga pants...
When do I get a uniform?
After your free trial classes and you decide to join and keep learning karate.
Do I have to wear the uniform?
Usually yes, but if you have sensory issues with it, then just wearing your belt with your own clothes is fine.
Do I have to start in Basic Class?
Most people do, however, if you have experience with martial arts and have earned a documented rank, you may move up. If you are older and don't want to a class with little kids, we do have a Teen/Adult Class for all levels.

What will I do in class?
All kinds of thing! Kicks, strikes, exercises, kata, sparring, stretching, balance activities, games...whatever the instructors can think of to make you a great martial artist.
