Classes

This class focuses on karate basics and proper dojo etiquette in a highly spirited and energetic environment. The class also aims to improve your child’s focus, flexibility, balance, reflexes, coordination, and patience. Classes for will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons (3.45p-4.45p) and also meet on Saturday mornings (10a-10.45a). According to Sensei Matsumoto, “By the time your child reaches the rank of blue belt, you will see many improvements in their attention span, muscle stretch, patience, social skills and so on."

This beginner’s class is specially designed to for kids at the level of white to orange belt rank. During the 1 hr. training, students will be introduced to karate basics and fighting techniques. At the same time, the class aims to improve their flexibility, reflexes, coordination and stamina.

As your child builds their basic foundation of karate, he/she will rise in level and belt rank. The next step is to train in the orange to black belt class. This class will focus more on advanced forms and fighting techniques while still refining the basics.

The All Adults class is a great opportunity to train with students of all levels. Adults from white to black belt rank will enjoy a full range of training in basics, footwork, mitt training and fighting combination technique. The class will include Kata form practices and sparring.

We have classes for kids and teens every weekday afternoon, and offer a low monthly rate for unlimited classes, to make afterschool extra-affordable. We also currently teach an after-school karate program at one of Manhattan’s public schools, Succcess Academy Hell's Kitchen. If you’re interested in having us talk to your child’s school (public or private) about creating a karate after-school program there, please speak with Sensei Matsumoto.
