Have you ever thought about trying karate… and then talked yourself out of it?

Maybe you think you need to get in shape first.
Maybe you think you're too old to start.
Maybe walking into a karate school when you don't know what you're doing sounds a little intimidating.

Here's the thing:

You don't have to be in shape to start karate. You start karate to get stronger.

Our new beginner class starts September 8 at 4:30 PM, and beginners really are beginners. You don't need experience. You don't need to know the terminology. You don't need to be able to kick over your head.

You just have to start.

🥋 Open to 3rd grade through adults.

Your first class is FREE.

Message us if you'd like to try the first class or have questions. We'll be happy to talk with you.

Want your daughter to speak up when you're not there?

Telling her to “use her voice” isn't enough.

She needs a chance to practice what that actually looks and feels like — before she's in the moment and the stakes are higher.

That's what we do in Girls Club.

We practice speaking up. Setting boundaries. Asking for help. Handling uncomfortable situations. And figuring out what to do when something just doesn't feel right.

Because telling isn't training.

Practice is.

🐺 Girls Club returns this September at Maine Kyokushin Karate.

We don't just tell girls to be confident. We give them opportunities to practice. 🧡

That’s a big part of what we do in Be Fierce Girls Club.

Girls practice using their voices, setting boundaries, asking for help, handling uncomfortable situations, making decisions, and learning what to do when things don’t go as planned — all in a safe place where they can learn and grow.

Because someday we won’t be standing beside them. We want them to have the tools to stand strong on their own.

🐺 Girls Club registration for this fall is now open. Space is limited.

One of the things we've learned after nearly 30 years of teaching is that self-defense starts long before a punch or kick.

It starts with using your voice.

This idea is at the heart of how we teach our girls through Be Fierce—and it's something every parent can practice at home.

Kid quote of the week. A student was explaining why he couldn't do something. The 6yr old kid next to him looks at me and says "Excuses, excuses." 🤣
