From the reviews
Master Mike runs such an excellent program at his Martial Arts Academy in Syosset. Our daughter Gabriella started this past Fall-2017 just as she was turning 5y/o. She absolutely loves it there! (As does her Mommy!). Master Mike combines discipline, athleticism, confidence, and most of all FUN into each session.
My kids have had a wonderful few months learning Taekwondo here! Master Mike is well-versed in teaching kids - he is patient, warm, friendly, and yet strict when necessary. It's a great blend that lends itself to my kids learning a strong skill set in his classes. I highly recommend him!
Over 30 years ago my husband was a student of Master Mike and his father, Grandmaster Byung Moo Lee when their Martial Arts school was in Queens, NY. It is difficult to convey in words the profound and positive impact Master Lee and Master Mike have had on my husband’s life.
Our son has been attending Masters Martial Arts for 3 years now. We can absolutely attribute the growth in our now 9 year old to Master Mike (and team). We originally tried soccer for 2 years in a row, and our son would be glued to our legs not wanting to even get on the field.
New to Karate? Start at Masters Martial Arts
Masters Martial Arts 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 Masters Martial Arts
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.
