When do I get a uniform?
After your free trial classes and you decide to join our dojo and keep learning karate.
Do I have to wear the uniform?
Usually yes, but if you have sensory issues, speak to the instructors for modifications.
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. You don't have to go to Basic Class if you are only participating in Self Defense Class and not our regular curriculum. We also have a Family Class for all levels.
