Questions? We've Got Answers.

Do I need any experience to join?
Not at all! Every program at CKS is designed to welcome complete beginners. Our instructors meet every student exactly where they are and build from there.
What should my child wear to their first class?
Comfortable athletic clothing is perfect for a first class. Once enrolled, students will receive a uniform (gi). We'll walk you through everything you need at enrollment.
Can parents watch or participate?
Many parents choose to train alongside their children, creating a shared activity that builds confidence, discipline, and family connection. Families that train together, stay together!
Is there sparring in the classes?
Safety is always the top priority at Concord Karate Studio. When it comes to contact, we focus on instruction and safety to work within our students' comfort levels. We use controlled motion to ensure student safety.

How often do students attend?
Students generally come to one "A" day and one "B" day at minimum. As an added perk to our students, they can come to as many classes as they want as long as we have space on the mat!
What happens when we miss a class?
We understand that life happens! We ask that students let us know if they are going to miss class and there are always chances to make up classes.
