What to expect for your first several lessons.

Thank you for your interest in Buzz Durkin’s Uechi Karate School. We have a been training students, young and old, since 1974 and have a proud tradition of excellence in the Martial Arts and customer service.

We start all prospective students on 1-on-1 lessons with a Black Belt instructor. Over the years we have found that this helps prospective students see what training at our school is all about. These lessons are 15-25 minutes long and are scheduled individually.

Depending on the prospective student’s experience, we begin with the basics and build on that every lesson. Everything in first lesson is repeated/reviewed in the second lesson, so don’t worry if you forget anything (or everything!) from the first lesson.

It is recommended that you wear comfortable easy-to-move in clothing for the first lesson. We will fit you with a uniform (gi) at conclusion of the first lesson.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call us.
