From the reviews
Kodokai is a world class establishment, from their employees to facilities every detail is handled with care. Their instructors are engaging and hands on, willing to teach and help grow a beginner in karate.
My 4 year old just started, he is shy and needed a little extra attention at his first class which he received in spades! He loved the class and the staff is amazing! Price is great and way better than any chain or franchise martial arts out there.
It's been a while since I wrote my first review and now with new senseis I thought it would be appropriate to write a new review. SKF Florida is now taught by head instructor sensei Ricardo Guerrero (founder and CEO of Punok) in addition to sensei Brandon.
Amazing school facility with great instructors. Both of my kids (7and5y) started karate about 1y ago and classes are going great. Very Japanese traditional oriented.
New to kickboxing? Start at TKO Orlando
TKO Orlando comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels 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 gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at TKO Orlando
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
