From the reviews
LOVE TRAINING HERE! I can say with confidence that Westchester Krav Maga is the real deal! Sensei Vlad is an amazing martial artist who gives his all in every class. He's been a great help in not only my training, but every student's.
This place is absolutely amazing. I have been bringing kids here for three years now. Beside learning karate, kids also learn the discipline, respect and hard work. Sensei Vladimir is a very professional in what he does and also very good with kids. They offer classes for both, kids and adults.
We have been part of the True ChampoinZ family since our son was 3 years old. He is now 7. We started with Karate and now have our son in the Krav Maga classes. I have to say, I am a parent that does a lot of research on the activities we choose to put our children in and feel we truly have found a place that truly…
My 4 year old son has been attending True Championz for 6 months now and I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this place. Sensei Vlad is wonderful with children! He has so much patience and truly cares about them. He is engaging, a bit tough but fun...always cracks some jokes to lighten the mood.
Your first Karate class at True ChampionZ 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.
