Why Choose Us?

Amato’s Goju-Ryu has been a popular local business for over 37 years.  We now teach the children of our students from decades ago!

We firmly believe in teaching commonsense avoidance techniques and street smarts as well.  Our senseis have taught for years and truly understand what is required to really motivate children to excel.

Are your children pure beginners?  Are they already seasoned and are searching for new challenges to keep karate exciting?

Whatever skill level your children have….we know how to bring out the best of their abilities again and again.  At our dojo, we pride ourselves on empowering our students to develop their own personal self-esteem and confidence. We achieve this by always showing positive encouragement and high expectations; the children know we have the utmost belief in their abilities and determination to succeed.

And our teaching philosophy?  It’s simple - we enable success no matter what the level, and proactive SHOW the children they CAN succeed if they TRY. Consider the picture to the left- the sensei lies down in order to ensure that the child does not miss her very first kick.

Can you imagine the pride the child felt?  Such lessons are never forgotten.
