From the reviews
Kokusai is one of the few schools in North Jersey that offers the "tried and true" traditional karate experience. The students are well-versed in katas and sparring alike. They have classes for little ones as well, which offers something for just about everyone in the family.
My 10 year old loves going to Karate! It has helped him with his self-esteem, respect, and overall behavior! Extremely affordable, they have many classes and even tournaments!
I cannot express enough how great a dojo this is. My youngest son has been going now almost 4 years now, I could not be more pleased. The dedication, professionalism, equal fairness given, time and passion that is put forth by all the instructors is amazing.
This dojo is a fantastic option! The staff are all so friendly and great with the children. There are always plenty of instructors for each class. Also the Birthday party packages are superb! Just had my son's 5th birthday party there and ALL the children had a blast! Great local family dojo! Highly recommend!!
New to Karate? Start at Warriors Dojo
Warriors Dojo 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 Warriors Dojo
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.
