You learn practical stuff you can use out on the street and also non-practical stuff that's very martial arts heavy (things you’ve seen in movies or you’d only use in a dojo setting). He always likes to bring stuff back to reality and give you real-life situations. There are times when class is very serious but also times when he cracks jokes and we all can have a laugh! He is so kind and really cares about his students! Attendance is mandatory- basically the largest part of your grade so don’t skip. You have 1 excused absence (points won't be deducted) and up to 6 total absences where after that you are dropped from the class. He gives extra credit opportunities- can volunteer to run a warm-up, attend a martial arts tournament, compete in a martial arts tournament, and win one or both of the 2 in-class competitions. The rest of your grade is made up of the written and skills midterm and final. For the skills tests just make sure you practice outside of class. He uploads videos breaking down/demonstrating all the skills, which was super helpful to go back and watch! For the written tests he gives a study guide so make sure you understand everything on that and ask questions. Everything is pretty straightforward tho. Overall, I had a great time in this class and even though getting up for an 8:00am is rough I’m so glad I did it!

05/18/2012 		I took self-defense with Mr. Klotz. I am definitely not one of the best at karate, my skills are in fact pretty bad. However, I found the class to be mostly enjoyable and a learning experience. As long as you come to class everyday, practice a little outside of class, and do the extra credit you should manage an A. He definitely likes to see people succeed and is always willing to help you perfect your moves. I would recommend this class and instructor, however it's not for the lazy people that regularly miss class or come late.
