Kids Karate Classes in Brooklyn

Name: Zen Goju Temple
Address: 2533 65th St, Brooklyn, NY, 11204, US
Telephone: (718) 645-2402

One class where all age groups train together.

Children train in the same system, in the same room, to the same standard, as every student who has trained at this dojo.

How it works

What kids training looks like here

Students break into groups by skill level during class
Every student gets individual attention at their own level
Focus and self-control before technique - the first thing a child learns here is how to stand still and listen
Structured belt progression, so progress is visible and earned rather than handed out
Small enough that instructors know every child by name
Parents are welcome to watch any class
Sparring is part of training here: Thursday is motion study, Friday is harder
The lower rank sets the pace, and nothing is thrown at a beginner unprepared

The detail

Ages: 6–12 is a guide, not a gate. One class takes every age, so if your child sits on a boundary call (718) 645-2402 and we will talk about the child rather than the number.
When: See the class schedule for the current week. Times change, so call before you travel.
What it costs: Your first class is free. After that, both memberships and the drop-in mat fee are listed in full on the pricing page.
Where: 2533 65th St, Brooklyn, NY 11204, on 65th Street in Bensonhurst. Directions.

Your first class is free. Turn up, train, and decide afterwards.
