Thinking about joining the Martial Arts, but still unsure? We understand. One of the hardest things you will ever do in the Martial Arts is taking the first step. We realize that there are several reasons that make people a little hesitant of joining, despite their interest. The truth is however, there is simply no reason good enough NOT to come in. D.J. Studios provides a safe, fun, professional environment for you to train in, which is maintained by our esteemed leadership team of over 30 black belts, and 2 masters!
Through our exciting training regimen, we promote health, self-defense, and better person. Regardless of your athletic ability, age, weight, gender, or size, we have something to offer you! Throughout the week we host several classes, broken up by both age and rank. This helps us keep the class sizes smaller, which in turn, allows us to provide more personal attention to meeting your individual needs! This is also advantageous, because it means you will be training with other people who are at the same level as you, and aiming at achieving the same goals!
Still not convinced? Please refer to this list of common reasons we hear for not joining.
One of the biggest misconceptions regarding the Martial Arts is that it is all about fighting. While it is true that we do teach self-defense, fighting is actually a very small part of what the Martial Arts is all about. We are more about creating peace, and harmony within ourselves, and bettering ourselves, than preparing ourselves to defend against others. As we teach in our classes, it is better to learn how to avoid a fight, than to learn how to get out of one. Top
One of our primary concerns is our students safety! We make sure to perform our exercises at a pace that is challenging, and will give you a workout, but also allows our students to go at a pace that they feel comfortable with. We also always keep close supervision on all students to ensure proper technique, so that nobody gets injured. At no point in any class do we ever require a student to do something that they feel they are not capable of doing... and we always encourage you to go at a level you are comfortable with! Top
This is one of the biggest excuses people use to not join. Martial Arts has something to offer for individuals of all ages! It would simply be impractical to expect all of our students to perform at the same level, and therefore we set expectations on an individual basis. Martial Arts is a personal quest for self-betterment, not about how you fare against others. Aside from that, we have classes broken up by age, so that you are training with other people who are performing more at your pace. Top
We all have busy schedules to work around! At D.J. Studios however, we offer several classes throughout the week, in order to provide students with an opportunity to train almost every day of the week! We also make it a point to start and stop our classes right on time to ensure that we do not interfere with other plans you may have. Top
D.J. Studios offers VERY competitive rates, compared to other karate schools in the area (and other activities in general), especially considering the training facilities that we provide. Our prices are less than half of what most karate schools around the region charge! Furthermore, we also provide family discounts, which makes the martial arts an ideal activity that the entire family can enjoy together. Top
We all have felt this way during our first few classes. Any mistake that you could possibly make is a mistake that almost all of us have probably made before! Fortunately, we train in a very positive, supportive and friendly atmosphere where you will not be looked down upon regardless of any mistakes you might make! We are all here to help eachother grow in a positive direction. Top
Perhaps the instructor just wasn't adhering to your personal needs. At D.J. Studios, we strive to meet the goals of each and every student, and provide them with training to meet each persons specific needs. We also do this in a safe, fun, and friendly environment, so that everybody has a good time. Top
What better reason to come in and join? We do not expect you to be Bruce Lee when you first enter the door! That is what we are here for! Regardless of what physical condition you are in, through our intense training regimen, you will get back into shape in a manner that is much more enjoyable that running, lifting, home-gyms, etc. Furthermore, we help you get in shape by providing you with small, obtainable goals which, through time, yield tremendous results! Top
Our staff is specially trained in instructing individuals with disabilities. We strive to help students overcome these disabilities through positive reinforcement, and patient, friendly instruction. Top
We realize that getting motivated to do something difficult and unenjoyable is a very difficult thing to do, especially on a regular, consistent basis! That is why we make our classes fun and enjoyable, and help you set and obtain goals: to make you WANT to keep coming back! Top
