Spartak Sports Club, Karate/ Judo

"Spartak Sports Club has been teaching Judo and other Martial Arts in the Queens community since 1997. I was one of the first students of sensei Arkadiy. Sensei Arkadiy is amazingly talented coach. His dedication to students is delivered not only through his technical experiences, but also through a very unique ability of preparing young boys and girls to be emotionally, intellectually, and physically strong members of our community who become leaders and leave a very positive mark in our society. He produced countless successful athletes who have moved on in their professional world and became successful lawyers, doctors teachers, engineers and many more. As it is in every relationship, sometimes things do not work out, but there is no need to put faul blame and information out there. It is because of Sensei Arkadiy that I am able to have a dojo, teach students, and work as an international referee. It is unfortunate that a student felt they needed to leave this club and registered in my club, but ethically I cannot take in a student of my sensei without his blessing - it is the ethiquette. Naturally, I had to ask this student to not continue and refunded the money for the registration. Knowing sensei Arkadiy, I highly doubt that he might have acted inappropriately with a student. I can vouch for him anytime."

"I have been going to Spartak Sports Club for about a year now. The club is owned & operated by one of the biggest trainers in the whole Judo Federation, Sensei Arkady. He has trained multiple olympians and world champions, and is still shaping new ones to this day. Being a part of a club like this, is amazing, and is truly a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity.’ Clubs like these don’t come by very often. If I can say one thing about this club, is that everyone is family there. You become friends with the coaches and students, which is truly an amazing feeling! If you are looking for a solid sports club, stop looking around and come here. I give you my word that you won’t regret this decision!"

"After going to this amazing school and receiving my black belt , I can whole heartedly say that Arkadiy and his son Moshe are one of if not the best duo in judo . They are amazing teachers and amazing people overall. I highly highly recommend that you come here to learn and grow both physically and mentally. Thank you guys !!"

"I been going to this gym for a few months and all I can say is this is the best gym have have gone too. the coaches are the best, they take their time to teach all the techniques and are great and explaining. the vibe in this gym is amazing. everyones like a family and we all are there to help each other get better."

"I really regret that I sent my son to the SPARTAK sports club 10 years ago! For all 10 years my son walked with pleasure and received a blue belt. With my help, this club was very well sponsored, and I myself was a sponsor, but that's the end of it! I treated the coach with great respect. After a small conflict, I decided to change the club. Having agreed with another coach and paid for a month at the new club, they didn’t take him!!! Which pissed me off. I am a former athlete myself. And I have never seen or heard a coach tell a lie about his student. My son is not a toy. Not even a couple of days have passed and I can already hear the coach’s voicemails, like a gossip! about the fact that my son did not want to training on his own and was looking for reasons! And let him know that I will go to the end for my son, I will have to reach the judo Federation. Fake person!"
