From the reviews
One of the best Dojo’s not only in Brunswick but in entire Jersey. Master Nick’s teaching style is very different and friendly. Master Nick personally takes the time and effort to ensure that the students are learning all their moves right.
My kids, ages 7 and 8, joined Master Nick's karate exactly a year ago. We have had such an amazing experience throughout. The kids have learned life skills such as self-discipline, focus, and positive socialization. They have built tremendous physical and mental strength.
Five stars and here is why: We had an amazing experience with Master Nick Karate who not only teaches just karate but who also teaches courage, discipline, self confidence and self motivate in a unique way that it sits in our kids mind & heart and also seen the changes in our daughters real life.
My two daughters are learning karate at master Nicks Karate for the past 4 years. They teaches discipline, to be kind and confident. Master Nick and the instructors in the class are very helpful, polite, understanding their needs and very friendly. I would highly recommend Master Nick for kids of all ages and adults
New to Karate? Start at Master Nick's Karate
Master Nick's Karate comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. 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 Master Nick's Karate
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.
