To be a part of Rokah Karate is to be a part of a family. Avi, Ruth and all of the wonderful sensei don't just instruct, but they are deeply invested in my children becoming better at karate and better human beings. My kids love being a part of this community and I could see just a few months into their training that they would walk a little bit taller and more confident. They worked diligently practicing their kata and would also apply the lesson of repetition to their school studies.

Dear Ruth and Avi (and all Sensei at Rokah Karate) We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact that Rokah Karate and its amazing instructors have had on my son over the past 10 years. Initially, there were moments when he wanted to give up, but with the unwavering support and encouragement from his sensei, he persevered. This dedication not only helped him grow physically and mentally, but it also played a crucial role in his safety. When he was attacked by a group of older boys, the skills and confidence he gained from karate made a life-saving difference. I can’t thank the instructors enough for their commitment to their students’ growth and well-being. The values, discipline, and self-defense skills he learned have made a lasting impact on his life. Thank you Sensei’s Ruth and Avi, and everyone at Rokah, for everything you do! Miriam Shimoni, MS CCC-SLP

Both of my sons went to Rokah for years and loved it. Sensei Avi, Ruth and Jacob did a great job with them. The boys learned a ton and we have recommended friends and family to Rokah.

My family has been part of the Rokah Karate community for many years, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experiences we've had there. My son attended Rokah Karate for six years, and my daughter just started gymnastics at Rokah. Avi and Ruth are not only excellent teachers, but they are also wonderful role models for children. They have a way of making every child feel seen, heard, and valued, which has made a tremendous difference in my children's lives. Their passion for what they do is infectious, and it's evident in the progress my kids have made under their guidance. If you're looking for a safe and supportive environment for your child to learn martial arts or gymnastics, look no further than Rokah Karate
