What makes this Karate school outstanding is the passion that comes from Sensei Meral Olmez every second during her every class. I feel lucky to have this opportunity for my son to evolve and grow here as a disciplined respectful person. I fully admire the set of values and principles that the school abides by, a few of them are resilience, confidence, humanity and self-discipline. Thank you so much sensei Olmez!

Champions Sports Center is the best karate place in the NYC area! Sensei Olmez and her team provide top-notch training in a nurturing environment. My 10-year-old is a USA National Champion, and even my 3-year-old loves it here. Perfect for kids to grow, thrive, and succeed!

Our family has been part of Champions Sports Center since 2018, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place and about Sensei Olmez. Both of my sons train here in karate and dodgeball, and the impact it has had on them — physically, mentally, and emotionally — is profound. My older son thanks me all the time for enrolling him here because of how strong, confident, and disciplined he has become. My younger son has also grown tremendously through the program, gaining confidence, coordination, and a genuine love for being active. That alone speaks volumes. Sensei Olmez is truly extraordinary. She is a World Champion and European Champion in karate, and she led the dodgeball team to first place at the World Cup at Madison Square Garden in 2018 — but beyond her incredible achievements, she is an exceptional human being. She brings endless energy, warmth, and focus to every class. She is deeply attentive to every student, always personable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth. What sets Champions Sports Center apart is that this is not just about sports — it’s about character, confidence, discipline, teamwork, and caring for kids on a truly human level. Sensei Olmez is always ready to help, support, and guide, whether it’s about training or life itself. We trust her completely, and Champions Sports Center feels like an extension of our family. We are endlessly grateful for the years of training, mentorship, and positive influence this place has had on our children. If you are looking for a sports center that builds strong bodies, strong minds, and strong hearts, this is it. Highly, highly recommend. 💙🥋🏆

The environment is friendly, and he always looks forward to every class. Highly recommend this karate program to anyone looking for a great place for their child to learn and grow
