Tell Us You're ComingFour values sit on our logo and on our floor. The belt is the reward. The change in the student is the point.
Bowing in is the first lesson. Students learn to honor their instructors, their training partners and themselves.
Showing up, doing the work, finishing what you start. Karate turns it into a habit instead of a lecture.
Kata demands complete attention. That same concentration follows students into the classroom and the workplace.
Real conditioning and real self-defense, built with control and never with aggression.
Full matted floor, a wall of credentials earned over fifty years, and the Dojo Kun hanging where every student can read it.
Listening, balance and following directions, in classes built around what a five-year-old can actually hold on to.
Real Shotokan fundamentals, plus kickboxing on Mondays and Wednesdays and sparring on Fridays.
Karate, jujutsu and kumite (sparring) for teens and adults. Beginners welcome on day one, no experience assumed.
Train as often as you want. Every class is included in your membership — karate, jujutsu, kickboxing and kumite (sparring).
We are on South Road (Route 9) in Poughkeepsie, with parking at the door. Students from Wappingers Falls, Hyde Park, LaGrange, Fishkill and Arlington all train here.
The mind gives up before the body. The key is to make your mind work for you, not against you.
