Japan Shotokan Karate Association at 3511a Quentin Road, Brooklyn, New York.

Sensei Tom Casale's technical skills are of the highest caliper. My experience with him was nothing less than professional.

This past September, I enrolled my six year old son in the JSKA Karate school. What I thought would be just another extra-curricular activity for my son, turned out to be a sport that has enhanced his life in several different ways. Not only is he getting the exercise he needs (which also contributes to the physical and occupational therapy he's receiving in school) but also, it's developing mental strength and a sense of community amongst his piers. Sensei Casale and Sensei Makhail have just the right balance of teaching the kids self-discipline, the skill of martial arts, and at the same time, they make it a fun, encouraging, learning environment. My son who is extremely shy and usually withdrawn cannot wait to attend the next class. I was especially impressed with last week's movie night. Not only did they cater to the children via movie and pizza, but also, there was food and beverages for the adults so that the whole family would be able to enjoy this family night-- and this was at no added cost to us. Overall, I am actually excited to have found a place, another "home" that my son Landon would be encouraged to come out of his shell and develop into the strong, young man that he's meant to be.
