Martial Arts – karate classes for NYC kids

“It has been difficult to find an activity that engages Henry. We are thrilled that he has discovered a love of karate though his years studying with Karin. He has learned discipline, respect for himself and others, gained confidence, and has acquired some impressive physical skills as a result. We have no doubt that he will continue with Karin as long as possible, as this class is the one that he is most committed to and enthusiastic about attending.”

Discovery Martial Arts classes in NYC

Discovery Martial Arts is a professional program led by Kyoshi Karin Ferber Hillman, a fifth-degree black belt Champion and Sogo award winner who has over 27 years of experience in the study of martial arts.

Our classes are led in a joyful and safe environment based on focus, respect, balance, fitness, coordination, and strong self-esteem. They also incorporate fun games, obstacle courses, drills, tumbling, the use of pads, and many other elements that serve to enrich the experience of our students.

We believe that the study of martial arts is influential in the daily lives of our students. Here, they learn how to stand up for themselves, work together as a team, defend themselves, practice self-awareness, and make smart choices and decisions. We also teach them to respect their family and to practice gratitude for what they have.

Our goal is to build strong character in each student, help them become confident, always do the best they can, and never give up!
