From the reviews

My son has been training here for the past year and a half or so. Important note: I'm a pretty critical consumer, and informing others about things that might not be as good as they should be feels an important part of being in a community that looks out for each other.

★★★★★ — Absurdities, Dec 2024

Great School amazing instructors and students all around awesome time when here. workout is intense you are encouraged all the time to push yourself but at the sametime they are concerned for your wellness (go at your own pace) classes are 1 hour 30 minutes long complete workout mind body and spirit.

Your first Karate class at Westchester Kyokushin

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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
