Jonas is definitely the BEST Shotokan Karate Sensei in NJ. We live far away but it’s truly so worth driving 30 minutes to learn karate here. Jonas is patient, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. This kind of Karate Sensei truly deserves our support!!
Great class! Went to the adult courses and they were fun, intense but also very informative too! The coach/teacher pays attention to detail in your form, looking forward to future courses
Súper recomendado, la instructora de niños de 4 años es muy linda, tiene mucha paciencia en enseñar e indicar las instrucciones, súper recomendado
Your first Karate class at Traditional Karate of Newark
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.
