Chase Karate Academy 1671 Penfield Road, Rochester, NY 14625

"A great opportunity to learn from the best! Sensei Chase’s attention to technique is second to none. Every class we learn something new and the upper belts are always willing to help newer students along. I am an older student and Karate has really helped to improve my strength & flexibility."

"A great instructor who addresses students individual needs and restrictions! Not only teaches discipline, respect and dedication to the sport but also teaches everyday values and lessons! Works well with everyone!Goes the extra mile with students handicapped or with medical issues. Quite a standup individual with a great sense of humor! I would highly recommend taking a class from him."

"I was nervous about taking karate classes as I’ve never done instruction based classes before. Sensei Chase is fantastic and makes the classes fun! I have been diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder & karate has helped immensely. It has helped me focus, work harder & kicking the bag just feels so good! I feel stronger, more confident & learn new skills with every class. As of now, I’m the only female in the class & I’m the newest student, yet everyone makes me feel comfortable & accepted. It’s great to feel part of something & to work toward new goals with every class. I highly recommend Chase Karate Academy & I’m looking forward to what the new year holds."

"I signed up for the first karate class of my life at the age of 39 years old. My instructor was Master Chris Chase. It was one of the best decisions of my life and I stayed with it for 17 years. Chase Karate teaches you not just the kata and the techniques. It teaches you the soft skills as well such as confidence, respect, and empathy for others. Young, old it does not matter. Give Chase Karate a try and you will not regret your decision."

"Chris and Dan were great with our kids, and made them feel comfortable and excited about Karate. It is nice to see them having fun, AND working hard. Their passion for Karate comes through in the culture and open learning environment at Chase Karate Academy."
