Okinawa Karate Gōjū Style 1831 Hobart Avenue, The Bronx, NY 10461

"NYC Goju Ryu Karate is the only certified Okinawan Karate organization in the area. Sensei Luis is a man of tremendous discipline and integrity. He leads by example and his students emulate him to wonderful results. He treats everyone with respect and kindness. His students learn the value of discipline, respect, humility and confidence all while having a lot of fun. The dojo is tranquil, spacious, clean and adheres to CoVid safety precautions. This is a wonderful environment for children to learn and grow. Our son has really enjoyed meeting other kids in the neighborhood and getting this extra bit of physical activity each week. I would recommend Sensei Luis and his school to anyone wanting their child to learn a martial art."

"Fantastic dojo!! Sensei Luis Tapia is a GREAT instructor and the whole staff are very caring and attentive to the needs of our children. They make you feel like you're part of a family. I'm so happy I put my son there because it has taught him discipline, respect, confidence, focus and self defense. Thank you NYC Goju Ryu!!"

"My son has been taking karate with Sensai Luis for the past few years. He has learned the value of karate; discipline, self respect, self defense, confidence. Karate is his favorite after school activity, he never wants to miss it. All of these things wouldn't be possible without Sensai Luis. When I met him my son was a little boy , who had recently been diagnosed with autism. I didn't know what to expect from him taking karate. And the truth is that the first few weeks were rough, trying to keep his attention. But Sensai Luis never gave up on him, never made him feel bad, and has always believed in my sons ability to keep up with the other kids in the karate class. He is a great role model, and someone who my son looks up to, and has a tremendous amount of respect for."

"This school fulfilled my karate curiosity. Traditional, diligent, detail-oriented, and respectful, the student body and Sensei encourage me to push past boundaries I never thought I could before. Ideal for someone who wants to improve their stamina, self-control, and knowledge of martial arts."

"NYC GOJU RYU KARATE DO has been a Godsend for my Family. My Son attends the After School Program as well as the Karate Program. We have noticed remarkable improvement in his grades in school and he takes more pride in his school work! The Karate Program has taught my Son confidence, disipline and self improvement along with helping him shed a few pounds and get into better and healthier shape! I highly recommend The NYC GOJU-RYU KARATE DO SCHOOL for everyone, child or adult!"
