A fantastic School for both children and adults to learn martial arts from skilled and passionate instructors! You will learn self-defense, confidence, respect, and will have fun doing it. I can whole heartily recommend coming into the dojo and experience it first hand.
This place is awesome!!!! We have been a part of this karate family since it opened it's doors. My daughter absolutely loves Ms. O'Neill and Mr. Nuccio, they are amazing instructors. Not only are they knowledgeable but they are kind and respectful of their students.
My son just turned 5 and expressed interest in Karate and I didn't think he was ready, until we saw this school at a local festival and I saw how great Mr. Nuccio was with him. I did a trial and it really sealed the deal for us. Ms. O'Neill is fantastic as well as Mr.

Your first Karate class at Traditional Okinawan Karate of East Fishkill
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.
