Brewster Karate is truly exceptional! My son started here at just 7 years old and fell in love with…read moreit after his very first lesson--and now, a few years later, he continues to thrive, all thanks to the incredible Sensei Milada. One of the best aspects of this dojo is having such a strong, skilled, and empowering female Sensei leading the way. Sensei Milada has an extraordinary ability to connect with students of all ages, making every class both fun and productive while still instilling discipline, confidence, and respect. As a left-handed child, my son was thrilled when Sensei explained that they train students to be ambidextrous, which not only strengthens martial arts skills but also improves overall coordination. Over the years, I've watched him grow not just physically, but mentally and emotionally--gaining strength, focus, discipline, and confidence that extend far beyond the dojo. What truly sets Sensei Milada apart is her emphasis on mindset. She consistently teaches the kids to focus on being better than they were yesterday, rather than comparing themselves to others. That lesson alone has been life-changing. As a mother, she has also helped me tremendously--guiding me in how to support my son's growth, keep him focused on his own progress, and apply those same principles in our daily lives. That impact reaches far beyond karate, and I'm deeply grateful for it. I am also absolutely thrilled to be joining Sensei Milada's women's empowerment class! It is an unbelievable full-body workout that also teaches practical self-defense regardless of your size, confidence and strength--both physical and mental. It's empowering, challenging and incredibly rewarding! Now my son and I can practice together at home! I truly cannot recommend Sensei Milada and Brewster Karate enough--whether you're looking for an amazing environment for your child or a dojo for yourself. Sensei Milada and her team have created something truly special and we are so thankful to be part of the Brewster Karate family!

This review might change in the future…read more We are about three classes in. We were on a wait-list, and it took about 2 weeks before a spot opened up. Not bad. Now we are doing the classes. Three classes in and so far and I'm not impressed. It starts at 4:30 pm, and by 4:45, my son (8 years old) is still on a line behind a few kids, waiting to try the obstacle course. They have 8 kids with 2 coaches, which makes it 1:4, but so far I don't feel any benefit from that ratio. Don't get me wrong, the coaches have a great attitude, and they seem to be having fun with the kids, but it's a bit crowded. There are just too many kids. They split the junior course up into three sections. It seems each group of 8 kids and 2 coaches take 20 mins on 1/3 of the course. There are two other groups (also with 8 kids and 2 coaches) doing the other parts of the course. In that 20 min segment that my son and his 7 teammates are attempting, my son has all of one solid try on the course. He finishes, and gets to the back of the line, but at this point they ring a bell, and they move on to the next course. He didn't really have any practice time on this part of the course. Why? Because there really are just too many kids. It's not like the kids whiz by efficiently, which is perfectly fine. They take their time, look around, try the first part, fall, then try that same part again. Meanwhile, the 7 other kids waiting their turn are talking, jumping, and obviously have a lot of energy and nothing to use it on. Where is the other coach? Why isn't he trying to get these 7 restless kids to do something while that one kid is taking his turn? In the one hour that my son is there, he has tried the whole course, with at least one real turn, and maybe 2 if he's lucky. Is this worth $149/month? I don't believe this is a great program. There's really no structure, other than 2 coaches handling 8 kids, and making sure they line up and wait their turn. Ok, fine, when they are taking their turn, the coaches hold them, and guide them. I can do this with my kids at the monkey bars in a park. We are going to finish out the month. But I don't know if we want to continue to pay $149/month for an hour in their gym, where 70% of the time my son is waiting for his turn. I hope it gets better. Again, we are only 3 lessons in.

The parent and tot classes here are great. My child has learned a lot from this program, and so…read morehave I. This school teaches both parent and tot how to build on the skills being taught. The school itself is flexible with the schedule and if you miss a class you can easily get back in the same week by communicating with the front desk. The class does take place in an open gymnastics warehouse, so if you're not used to other classes happening at once -this is normal for these type of environments. Classes are typically small 2-8 kids, but sometimes they can be a bit crowded due to weather conditions for example up coming snowstorm etc. These type of environments do require you as a parent to communicate your needs more, so if you're not comfortable with doing something or do not know what to do, it's best you ask the coach for support. The coach's are very helpful, and great with kids. They typically walk around the class to help but they also stand by stations within the obstacles that need the most assistance with mastering a skill. When it comes to gymnastics and this age group, you get what you as a parent put in. They require a lot of practice outside of class not just inside the classroom if you really want them to excel. One class a week is good but practice makes perfect and it takes time to get used to the routines being taught. As a former acrobat I approve of this school and program. Coaches have technical knowledge and know how to safely spot.

But based on our limited experience here with two children of different ages and genders, we really like this place. Class sizes are small. We've found Nastia to be excellent at engaging the very young children. Our kids always walk away happy, with the littlest one telling us unprompted that, "I love gymnastics!" Our older child comes out of his "ninja / parkour" class very sweaty, very happy, and very braggy about all his exploits. Two ringing endorsements from those in the know. There's a small play area by the front desk, which we think is a very thoughtful touch. We like the windows in the back and in the front, where we can spy on our kids and chuckle at our older one doing the worm -- or pushups as he calls them. (It'd be even better if they had one-way glass, but that's a minor nitpick.) Other than us, the parents there seem normal / fine. To the prior reviewer: Try not to let a few bad apples ruin the barrel, here, or anywhere else. Haters always gonna hate.

Beka is a rare find. I didn't expect our child to learn more with our first one hour private lesson…read morewith coach Beka than the 5 hrs of private lessons he had taken with another coach (not affiliated with Beka Tennis Academy) . We were looking for an after school class to complement his private lessons and decided to give Beka a try to see if he would be a nice fit for our family. And after the group classes we have decided that for our son's benefit it would be best to only learn with coach Beka and, do the private lessons as well as the group classes only with him. We have invited our son's friends and they have all loved their classes and asked to come back . My husband and I are also planning to join the adult group classes. What we love about Beka is that he is fun and at the same time rigorous. The kids love him, but he still finds a way to instill discipline while fostering their love for tennis. Beka is not only a very talented coach, but he is a family man, as well as a great human being. Maia the academy coordinator, is amazing as well. She responded to our emails promptly and it was a breeze to communicate and schedule the lessons. The clay courts are nice , surrounded by trees across from a Country Club. The surroundings are peaceful. Can't wait to see our son grow as a Tennis player and as an even better human with Beka as his coach and mentor.

He knows when to be strict with a student and when to ease off so as not to turn someone off from the game he has so much love and passion for.
