From the reviews
I highly recommend this school for anyone wanting to learn martial arts. They offer programs to meet everyone's needs. My daughter who is 11 yrs old has been a student at Samurai for 6 yrs. My husband has been a student at least 15 years. Both of them continue to train in karate.
Samurai Martial Arts in Spencerport is simply fantastic for my kids! Curt, the leader, creates an awesome experience. The instructors make karate so fun. Megan, the wizard behind the scenes, keeps everything smooth. Safety's a big deal, and their ninja camps are amazing.
Outstanding Karate Dojo for Kids at Samurai Martial Arts with Sensei Kurt and a Team of Talented Instructors! Samurai Martial Arts, led by Sensei Kurt, is an absolute gem for our kids!
I visited for a childrens birthday party and it was very cool. They set up obstacle courses for the kids and played ninja dodge ball. Taught the kids some simple kicks and some rules. They had an area for the cake & pizza set up. Everything was great. The kids had a great time. The facility is pretty large.
Your first Karate class at Samurai 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.
