I am hooked on the FIT Heavy Bag Class. I haven't tried any of the other classes, but I enjoy the workout. It's a great way to sweat, build endurance/cardio, burn calories, and actually learn some boxing/kickboxing techniques. I've had classes with multiple instructors. Phabion really emphasizes technique. Chad does a mix of technique as well as making you sweat. Raleigh emphasizes the fitness aspect and makes you work your core and build your cardio. The class size is mixed (sometimes it's only a handful of people and other times it is fully packed). There is something really cool about putting on hand wraps, a pair of boxing gloves and start hitting a heavy bag. It really builds your strength and it makes you sweat. I love this class so much that I signed up for a 6 month membership after my groupon deal ended.

I decided to come to MMA fit last year when I was looking for a self defense class, and was still…read moreundecided. The woman on the phone was very nice, and offered me a beginner class. So, I went, but I clearly remember the instructor did not make a lot comfortable communication. If he had an assistant in the class, they clearly were the experienced one, but didn't try to assist anyone, especially in the very beginning. The class was very fast placed, and I remember having to constantly look around to see what we had to do. We did not do any heavy bag work. Instead we were partnered up and learned how to throw punches using Thai pads. If you are a beginner, you aren't going to be using them until you are " taught" how to use them. (When you get to an intermediate class) I remember constantly having trouble, and not enjoying myself. When the class was over, the instructor did not say goodbye to anyone. I'm glad I am training where I am now.

Westchester County is incredibly lucky to have The World Seido Karate Organization right in our own…read morebackyard. Under the leadership of one of the truly few World Renowned Martial Arts Grandmasters, Kaicho Nakamura and his son, successor, and Chief Instructor, Nidaime Nakamura, Seido has become an integral part of not only my life but my entire family as well. A global organization with branches on almost every continent in the world, training is focused on "Karate-Do: The training of mind, body, and spirit to realize the fullness of human potential". As a true traditional Japanese martial art, training is comprised of a dedicated approach to mastering the fundamentals as building blocks to advanced and more complex techniques and requirements as one progresses at their own pace. You will sweat and push yourself, at times, further than you thought you can be pushed. Having trained at The Westchester branch for over 6 years this month, Seido has become an important part of my life where everyone focuses on the concept of Renma, "Keep Polishing" (Improving), regardless of physical ability, age, or rank. So much so, that my wife and I made the decision to introduce our elementary aged twin daughters to Seido earlier this year. The children's program is wonderful and puts exceptional credence to safety, development, and building confidence among the kids and teens. I've witnessed this firsthand as I help assist children's classes periodically. It's been a pleasure to refer Seido to many of our close friends, who also are either members themselves or enrolled their kids in the children's program and train with my girls. All of the instructors are wonderful people who I would trust with my daughters implicitly, without reservation. The organization as a whole attracts high caliber people from different walks of life, who bring a common denominator to the Seido community of being a genuinely good person. I couldn't recommend Seido enough to anyone and everyone. Having never trained in the martial arts before, yet always curious, as challenging and demanding as training is, the hardest part for me was getting the courage up to walk through the door on a particularly cold March evening in 2016. The rest has been exceptionally fulfilling, you won't regret it!

From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with genuine kindness and a sense of belonging that extends throughout the entire academy.

They offer not only top-notch martial arts instruction but also a generous spirit that extends to everyone who wishes to learn can do so without barriers. The academy blends discipline with a sense of fun, making each class an enjoyable experience for all ages. I love that my children get life lessons along with their instruction, such a "you do good, you get good" and other lessons about listening to parents and teachers. If you take classes here, you'll leave not only with improved martial arts skills but also with a newfound sense of community, confidence and well-being!

My kids (8 and 5) also participated in the after school program. They enjoyed the karate, family atmosphere, and my son in particular preferred the environment even during the non-karate time to the after school program at their school.
