What do our members say about their Syracuse Martial Arts Kenkyukai karate training experience?


"Syracuse Martial Arts Kenkyukai is unique in the fact that it offers both Traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu and Olympic style sport karate and I love being a part of it. As someone who has a background in Physical Education, Coaching and extensive experience as an athlete I highly recommend Syracuse Martial Arts Kenkyukai as it has something to offer everybody regardless of age or ability."

- Jason Brocious


"I began training at Syracuse Martial Arts Kenkyukai almost six months ago with no prior training in karate or martial arts. Intimidated and scared I walked in my first day and was welcomed with open arms into my new dojo family! Since joining karate I feel an increased level of focus and confidence in my life which I never thought possible. The balance of traditional training as well as sport training is unique to this dojo and offers students who are interested the opportunity to compete at a competitive level while at the same time allowing them to train in traditional goju ryu. The knowledge and support I continue to gain from Sensei Oddy and Sensei Kushnir as well as from my fellow students is immeasurable.

Sensei Oddy and Sensei Kushnir, for all your continued efforts, dedication and endless patience...

THANK YOU!"
