From the reviews

First off let me say this is the best I mean the best dojo ever!!! Not only does every single Sensei take the time and effort to help our kids, they show up and stand by them outside the dojo! As for Vince who is the owner he will go the extra mile for each and every kid in both of his schools.

★★★★★ — Sophia, Apr 2026

This is such a great school. They teach not only karate skills and selfdefense but also life important lessons like responsibility, respect, patience, determination and the importance of hard work. You see this growth in your child from day 1 and its just gets better and better.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Mar 2026

I’ve been waiting for the right moment to write a review about this amazing place. Yesterday, my son completed his black belt test, and for five hours I witnessed his dedication and hard work. Reaching this level isn’t easy. It truly requires the guidance of great mentors.

★★★★★ — Ruchika, May 2026

This journey has only just started for my daughter, and I can’t wait to see how far she goes with Amerikick. In the short time she has been with Amerikick(a month), she has already shown improvements in her structure alone with making sure she has a her own little routine started.

Your first Karate class at Amerikick Princeton

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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
