Step Two:Read:

"Okay, So How Does This Karate Stuff All Work?" 
 

Step Three: Initial call or email:

After you have checked out all the other schools and you are ready to learn more about Ohana Karate, call us at (517) 586-1001, or email ohanadojo@gmail.com. We would love to answer any questions that you may have!

​

Step Four: Schedule first visit:

After contacting us and getting your questions answered your next step is to decide if you are ready for the “Initial Evaluation”.  

 

Let me share with you are little bit more about how it works here.   Since most parents in this area know little about the martial arts we have a well designed two step process that starts with a private evaluation session with me.  In the evaluation we have three additional objectives.  First, we want to make sure your child is ready for karate.  This along with understanding their strengths and weaknesses.  Second, we want to make sure and place them in the right level classes. Every child is different.  But third, and most important, we want to make sure you understand everything about our school because we are going to ask a lot of your child and even more of you.  This will be hard.  So we do not want you to start here unless you are absolutely sure this is the right place for you and you are ready to put in the work.  We want to make sure we set up your child for success from the very start.  Does that make sense?

 

The second step is a trial class.   As a matter of fact I will not even let you make a decision until you have completed both. 

​

Step Five: Enroll:

We have a rolling admission process. So we start new students all the time!

 

After your “Trial Class” you should be in a good position to make this important decision.

​​

. . . . . . . we believe that if everyone really knew what we did here there would be a line out our door!  But, even if we are not the right school for you it is our missions to make sure you find the one that is.
