Reviews of Mt Vernon Traditional Shotokan Karate-Do

Excellence in training for the body, mind and soul-- the only way to sum up the overall experience you can expect from these polished, professional and highly awarded elite group of sensei.

Regardless if adult, teen or child... every student is afforded complete interactivity and fulfillment in every area of training, which accounts for why many of Sensei Nichiporuk's adult black belt students have trained with her since childhood. A wonderful traditional karate family awaits you to eagerly teach you everything they know-- which can only be eclipsed by your own exuberance after just one class.

Their strict policy for NO contracts merely seals the deal on just how good they are.

The Dojo here is amazing! Sensei Terry, Sensei Paul, and Sensei Wade are incredible instructors that know how to push their students to become great. In an environment that is both welcoming and rewarding, this school is open to all that are interested in real traditional Shotokan Training. Highly recommend this school!

one of the best the best dojo that i have seen

I love training here. Excellent dedicated instructors who care. Traditional Karate. This will always be my home!!!

Have been training with Senseis Nichiporuk, Zegarra and Brathwaite for quite a while now, since their Bronx dojo was open. Their level of knowledge is top notch, and they are operating a true martial arts dojo. Luckily, this is a far cry from today's cookie-cutter "martial arts" schools.

they really know their stuff! They follow a very particular curriculum, which is the same with thousands of other dojos in 107 other countries! The really cool thing is that they participate and organize seminars a few times a year!
