My son Liam has been training in Karate City at the 1841 Broadway Ste 205, New York, NY 10023 for almost four months, in that time he has grown in confidence and gained a wealth of experience and knowledge. He loves going to class each week and never likes to miss a class. He has the utmost respect for Master Igor Sensei and all the instructors. I also have been training at the Karate City and have gained confidence, also managed to lose weight with the help of combining the cardio training with Igor’s unique nutrition advice. I honestly couldn't ask for better instructors, as they always make you feel welcome and are always ready to help you. Just like one big family. I love this place.

We are thrilled to have discovered the team at Karate City. Not only is our daughter learning vital technique & discipline, she is having so much fun! Every Sensei on the team shows genuine consideration for each child and the students ENJOY learning from them. We are grateful our daughter can build confidence & continue to build her skill set with every class. Couldn’t recommend more. Thank you Karate City.

It's been amazing experience so far at Karate city. We've started classes 1.5years ago, and never thought we will ever come this far. Igor Dyachenko is an amazing Sensei. He cares about kids and supports every kid from his deep deep heart. My kid is struggling with adhd, Karate City not only offered structured class for us but also huge emotional support and beyond. Karate city is the best thing I've ever discovered in NYC, and Igor Sensei is the most amazing coaches I've ever asked for. Hope may more people could get benefit from Karate City.

As a young adult in NYC, it's amazing to see how the children in these Karate classes improve. I wish I had had the opportunity to train here when I was younger, growing up on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. Igor, Olga, and Vlad are all amazing instructors. The way they adapt their teaching style for each student is incredibly sophisticated and nurturing. For adults, it challenges your perception of yourself and how far you can go.

My niece’s ten year old son actually looks forward to seeing his sensei and convinced two of his schoolmates to ask their parents to enroll them as well. I accompanied him the other day and was impressed with the staff’s professional demeanor and welcoming manner. I had the opportunity to speak to parents there and they all are impressed with Karate City! It is my pleasure, therefore, to recommend you visit too. Karate per se teaches kids so many lessons that will stay with them throughout their life.
