How to join a Karate class and what to watch out for. 

Step-by-Step Guide: for both a beginner and those wanting to change styles or dojo,s. 

Beware !!!  Social media is filled with MacDojo,s – So do your homework before you sign up. 

1. Find Dojos: Search “karate classes near me” or check community centers; look for different styles (Goju Ryu, Wado-Ryu, etc.) to see what appeals to you.
2. Check Quality: Look at online reviews (Google, Yelp) and verify the instructor’s experience and black belt rank.
3. Contact & Inquire: Call or email to ask about schedules, beginner programs, free trials, and costs. Normally  R600 pm is a good ball park figure .
4. Attend a class to see the teaching style, atmosphere, and if it feels right; a good dojo values safety and respect.
5. Join Up: Register, sign waivers, and purchase a uniform (gi) if needed, or see if the dojo provides one.
