From the reviews
I originally came to Ryu Shu Kan because it was the only place on Long Island where you can experience Kendo (Samurai Swordsmanship). After many months of following Kendo there, I realized that there was something more which kept me coming back.
I am very interested in Japan, but there aren't too many places on Long Island to experience Japanese culture. Thankfully, there's Ryu Shu Kan! They offer everything from karate to kendo, tai chi to taiko, and it's one of the only places on the island to learn these things.
Ryu Shu Kan is a kind of magic doorway to Japan in Farmingville, Long Island. The martial arts, karate and kendo are taught from a solid traditional background. Japanese festival dances and the stunningly powerful art of taiko drumming is taught and performed here.

New to Karate? Start at Ryu Shu Kan Karate Kendo Judo Martial Arts Center Sachem Farmingville
Ryu Shu Kan Karate Kendo Judo Martial Arts Center Sachem Farmingville 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 Ryu Shu Kan Karate Kendo Judo Martial Arts Center Sachem Farmingville
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.
