From the reviews
Alchemy is an amazing place! When we first move to Long Island, We were looking for a place where our son could work out and become more active! But boy we soon found out that this place offered him so much more, it quickly became like his second home, He is constantly motivated, inspired to do more and be better.
If you’re looking for an amazing place to take your children for martial arts or simply for a good workout and fitness for some skills training this is the place! Sensei Nick is the best around! My kids love attending these classes and love working with him for the past few years.
Head instructor Nick Panebianco is great with kids and has plenty of experience in the martial arts. All of his classes are an amazing workout! They are an excellent way to learn self defense. The rest of his staff is very friendly and motivating.
The Senseis are all friendly and responsive. They have been working with my son to help build his confidence. The monthly events are fun for the kids and they seem to get along with everyone there. I recommend Alchemy to anyone who is interested.
New to Karate? Start at Alchemy
Alchemy comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Alchemy
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
