So you're not a kid anymore and you're just done with personal growth? Not if you're with us! Our students say one of the reasons they attend is that they're constantly "leveling up" and growing personally.

It's tough for adults to find a group of people who support them, help them through challenges, and push them to be their best. But that's exactly what our classes are all about!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at InstituteforAmericankarate@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Definitely not!  You will get fit, you will burn off unwanted calories, you will find it an awesome stress relief.  But BORING, it is NOT!

The variety, challenge and the feeling of accomplishment when you master a self defense skill or technique is why students love our teen/adult martial arts classes at Institute for American Karatre.

But we find it’s the friendships and fun that keep students coming back.  It’s like their second family.  Why not find out for yourself.  Book in for our Introductory Membership offer on this page!


Not at all.  In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes would describe themselves like that before they started.  So you will fit right in!

Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at how much you improve!  You’ll find that our very experienced martial arts Instructors, are trained to keep their teaching simple.  So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ‘ninja-like’ skills!  Come see for yourself!


Truthfully, the journey to Black Belt is an individual one.  Everyone can progress at a different pace.  There is no judgement on students for how long it does take.  What we can tell you, is that it is SO WORTHWHILE!  

The self defense skills you will master can truly be life-saving!
However, the other benefits of striving for Black Belt, like perseverance, never giving up, commitment and self discipline lead to life-long success.

You will find that your Instructors at Institute for American Karate are dedicated to helping you on your journey to Black Belt or whatever your personal goal may be.
