Spartak Sports Club, Karate/ Judo

Club Spartak has been a pillar of our community for over 20 years. In addition to training young athletes in various styles of Judo, Sensei Arkadiy and his team have instilled discipline and respect for generations of children and young adults. While the coaches demand focus and perseverance, the atmosphere is still friendly and relaxed.

I have been going to Spartak Sports Club for about a year now. The club is owned & operated by one of the biggest trainers in the whole Judo Federation, Sensei Arkady. He has trained multiple olympians and world champions, and is still shaping new ones to this day. Being a part of a club like this, is amazing, and is truly a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity.’ Clubs like these don’t come by very often. If I can say one thing about this club, is that everyone is family there. You become friends with the coaches and students, which is truly an amazing feeling! If you are looking for a solid sports club, stop looking around and come here. I give you my word that you won’t regret this decision!

Spartak Sports Club has been teaching Judo and other Martial Arts in the Queens community since 1997. I was one of the first students of sensei Arkadiy. Sensei Arkadiy is amazingly talented coach. His dedication to students is delivered not only through his technical experiences, but also through a very unique ability of preparing young boys and girls to be emotionally, intellectually, and physically strong members of our community who become leaders and leave a very positive mark in our society. He produced countless successful athletes who have moved on in their professional world and became successful lawyers, doctors teachers, engineers and many more. As it is in every relationship, sometimes things do not work out, but there is no need to put faul blame and information out there. It is because of Sensei Arkadiy that I am able to have a dojo, teach students, and work as an international referee. It is unfortunate that a student felt they needed to leave this club and registered in my club, but ethically I cannot take in a student of my sensei without his blessing - it is the ethiquette. Naturally, I had to ask this student to not continue and refunded the money for the registration. Knowing sensei Arkadiy, I highly doubt that he might have acted inappropriately with a student. I can vouch for him anytime.

After going to this amazing school and receiving my black belt , I can whole heartedly say that Arkadiy and his son Moshe are one of if not the best duo in judo . They are amazing teachers and amazing people overall. I highly highly recommend that you come here to learn and grow both physically and mentally. Thank you guys !!

As a former member of Spartak Sports Club, I would highly recommend Spartak to any aspiring martial artists and people of all ages who wish to learn how to defend and discipline themselves. Sensei Arkadiy Aronov is a world-class teacher and a master of judo, and has been able to teach me and many of his other students the art of judo and how to carry yourself in a respectful and honorable way. His explanation of techniques and throws is amazing. Sensei Moshe Aronov has taught me extensively about basic judo techniques and throws in his beginner class, and is an extremely relatable, caring, and compassionate teacher. I would highly recommend Spartak as well as both Sensei Arkadiy and Sensei Moshe to all.
