FAQs
Why do you bow in class?
The tradition of karate was developed in Japan. Bowing is a tradition practiced in many Asian cultures to acknowledge the other person, just as we in the United States may shake hands. We continue to use the tradition of bowing in the Dojo as a way of showing mutual respect toward each other and our tradition.
What is the youngest age that you take?
We do not set minimum age limits to our classes as not all children will be ready to engage in the practice of karate at a particular age. We have worked with children as young as 3 with success, but again it depends on the child.
I am out of shape, will I be able to do karate?
Most likely. We will challenge you, but you will always be in control of what you do and how much you do. Stamina and skill build with time and practice. With dedicated effort who knows what you will be able to achieve!
Can you fix my kid?
No. To fix something implies that it is broken. We do not start with the conception that one is broke, instead we prefer to think that we are in the business of building rather than repairing. Certainly there is much to be gained in the practice of karate. We emphasize etiquette, respect, courtesy and honesty within the dojo and outside the dojo. We also encourage each of our students to strive to be the best they can be. Many of our students are on the honor roll in school and are leaders in the community. This is a reflection of the hard work they put in inside and outside the dojo.
What if I am not a resident of the Verrado Community?
That is OK you do not have to be a resident to come to our classes! The Verrado Assembly allows us to take on students from outside the community! We have students from Buckeye, Goodyear, Avondale, Glendale, and Phoenix! We have also had visitors from outside the state and the country visit our club and participate in our classes!
We do have more answers on the FAQ page on our website.
