Question 1

What age can my child start?

Accepted Answer

Tiny Tigers is for ages 3–4, Little Dragons 5–6, Kids Martial Arts 7–12 and Teen Martial Arts 13–17. Not sure where your child fits? Call us — we'll match them in about two minutes.

Question 2

What happens in the intro class?

Accepted Answer

Walk in, try a real class, and meet your instructor one-on-one. You'll leave knowing whether it's the right fit — backed by our 100% money-back guarantee. The $49 intro includes 4 weeks unlimited classes and an official uniform.

Question 3

Do we need equipment to start?

Accepted Answer

No. Your uniform is included with the intro offer. Sparring gear only comes later, once your child is ready for it — and we'll tell you exactly when.

Question 4

Is martial arts safe for kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Martial arts has one of the lowest injury rates of any youth activity. Our instructors are certified, classes are supervised at a low student-to-instructor ratio, and safety comes first in every drill.

Question 5

What if my child is shy or not athletic?

Accepted Answer

Those are the two best reasons to start. There are no try-outs, no benchwarmers, and no being put on the spot. Every student progresses at their own pace, and quiet kids often make the biggest leaps.

Question 6

Will this make my child aggressive?

Accepted Answer

The opposite. Our curriculum teaches control, respect, and de-escalation first. Students learn that the strongest choice is usually the one that avoids a fight — and parents tell us the change shows up at home within weeks.

Question 7

How often should we come?

Accepted Answer

Twice a week is the sweet spot for steady progress. Your membership gives you access to multiple class times each week, so you can fit training around school, sports, and family life.

Question 8

What does it cost after the intro?

Accepted Answer

Tuition depends on the program and how often you train. We'll walk you through the exact options at your intro — no pressure, no contracts sprung on you at the door.

Question 9

Can siblings or parents train too?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Family classes put parent and child on the same mat at the same time, and we offer family rates for multiple members.

Question 10

Who runs the dojo?

Accepted Answer

Go No Sen Karate was founded in 1993 by Kyoshi Adam McCauley, a 7th degree black belt with over 40 years on the mat. Our Peekskill location is led by Sensei David Schwadron.

Question 11

Do you host birthday parties?

Accepted Answer

We do — high-energy, zero-hassle parties with games, belt-breaking, and an instructor running the whole show while you relax. Ask us about available weekend slots.

Question 12
