Fun way to learn martial arts

So Much Fun. And Such Powerful Life Lessons

For thousands of years, martial arts has instilled essential values in children, such as Discipline, Focus, Respect, and Confidence. However, we won’t let the little ones in on that secret — instead, we’ll keep them smiling and laughing throughout their experience. They won’t even realize they’re acquiring incredible life skills along the way (just between us!).

This unique approach is what makes our Brooklyn Kids Martial Arts Summer Camps so incredibly powerful and enriching.

They’ll be having good old wholesome fun — just like kids should have, filled with laughter, games, and unforgettable memories.

frequently asked questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Martial Arts Programs

Can my child stand up to bullies ?

We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies and have more humility and kindness to others through their martial arts lessons.

Do Parents Need To Stay?

We don’t require parents to stay during classes. However, we do find that parents who get involved with their kids martial arts lessons, truly build a solid connection as they see their child grow in confidence and skill as they progress through their belt ranks. And building strong family units is important to us at Johnny Karate NYC for our Brooklyn community.

What Do I Need To Bring To My First Lesson?

Make sure you wear comfortable clothes! We suggest either sweatpants or tights, and a short sleeve shirt.

Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes. You will find ear to ear by the end of the class. I am sure you will be too!

My Child Has ADHD, Will Martial Arts Help?

Yes! One of the great things about martial arts classes, is that it’s an individual sport, done in a group environment. We find all our students improve in their focus, self control, discipline and social skills. But the best part is…. They don’t even realise that is what our highly trained Kids Martial Arts Instructors are actually doing. They just think they are having fun!

The best way to find out for yourself, is to take advantage of our limited time offer. You’ll find our team so helpful and dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves. Book in now! You will be glad you did!

Do I have to sign up right away?

No, not at all! Here at Johnny Karate we like to do a free trial class first just to test it out for the kids see how they like it get comfortable and put less pressure on them. If they love it, we can totally sign you up , but if they’re not so comfortable yet or it’s just bad timing. There’s no pressure to sign up right away!!

Are Parents Allowed to Watch?

We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! And so do their kids. Even better… join into some of our martial arts classes for adults. Your kids will love that you have something in common. It will build a strong family bond!

Additionally, if you wanted some ‘me-time’? Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee. They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!

My Child Is Not Athletic, Will They Feel Left Out?

Not at all. You will find that martial arts classes are the PERFECT sport for kids who are not good at sport. Kids martial arts classes really are an individual after school activity, that they do in a group.

The journey from white belt to black belt is different for each student. But what is the same…. They improve co-ordination, balance, motor skills, focus and discipline. Plus, they makes lots of great friends!

Our Instructors are highly skilled in teaching martial arts for kids. Really… It’s their PASSION!

I'm Not Very Sporty or Coordinated, Will That Be A Problem?

Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes would describe themselves like that before they started. So you will fit right in!

Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at how much you improve! You’ll find that our very experienced martial arts instructors, are trained to keep their teaching simple. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ‘ninja-like’ skills! Come see for yourself!

My Child Is Addicted To Computer Games, Will This Be Suitable?

This is probably the BEST kids activity for children who sit a lot!

Getting them active, without them realising they are learning, is our skill. Kicking and punching pads is such a great stress relief, that kids blossom in all areas – because of their martial arts training.

Many Brooklyn parents find that once their kids start martial arts classes, they see a happier, more social child develop right before their eyes. You’ll be glad they started classes!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Johnny Karate! Our son has grown so much in a short time—he’s so excited to go that he asks us every day! The instructors bring such great energy and genuinely care about helping each child get the most out of every class, shaping them into future leaders.

Awesome gym. Great welcoming environment. The karate and the Brazilian Jiujitsu instruction is very high level. Some super tough rolls in grappling. An excellent summer program for the kids when they are off from school. I have visited multiple times and it was always an amazing experience.

Hands down the best!!! My 3 girls have been with Johnny and his team from day 1 of karate. Every instructor is amazing with kids. They instill the perfect balance of discipline, integrity and fun into the study of karate.

Linette Gomez

Johnny karate and staff make our 3 year old empowered to take risks, be even more confident, and respect himself and others. I love my kickboxing class for moms and daddy is addicted to the jui-jitsu classes.
