The trainer textes me as I'm inside the lot we have to reschedule because the class started. It was a 5 min difference and I'm not new to boxing. I felt that was very rude and I told him well I'm not going to come back. And he sent me a peace sign response . I felt it was a bad first impression of the establishment, unprofessional and I'll never recommend or do a trial here. I'll pick another boxing gym. But the lot is a decent size that's one nice thing I can say. I do not recommend being in communication with Larry.

Sensei Nick and Sensei Stacy are the owners, and although there are several other instructors, they still teach a few of the classes each week (they are both black belts). There are two times a week for classes for each age group, young children, older children, and adults. They also have private classes but they aren't really needed for kids as there are enough instructors for students. Classes run about 45 minutes. Most students have been there for YEARS. They also have a competition team which travels around to competitions. The facility is brand new and extremely clean. There is free wi-if to occupy the kids, or parents. I will continue to go to Epic Martial Arts for years to come.

I am nearing 60 years old and work as a Captain with FDNY and many of the members that I work with are 20 years (some close to 30 years) younger than me. Through this training I have lost weight and gained flexibility and functional strength; and just move better. This helps me to keep up with the younger members. The Instructors are highly skilled in martial arts as well as teaching and there is never a lack of personal attention. You are not just getting a good workout but learning a traditional martial art and valuable self defense techniques. Overall the classes just make me feel good. After a class that is challenging both physically and mentally. On the drive home I feel very relaxed both physically and mentally. I highly recommend Shotokan Karate-do of Long Island. Jim Kiesling

Shihan Sakataka is an amazing and patient instructor. He's not the most talkative person, but he teaches very methodically and has a great understated sense of humor. In particular, he is amazing with kids (my little sister trained with him for many years and eventually got her black belt). Shihan really lives and breathes Karate. I've trained in several different martial art schools since then and I now think this is one of the best in terms of instructor, fellow members and general morale.

If you too have a need to train, and are also facing life or death challenges I would strongly recommend this dojo! I have worked out in other dojo's and they do not compare.
