The dojo is fantastic. They have inspired confidence and grace in our teen meeting her where she is and pushing her gently to reach ever higher. Recently she completed the 100 Kata challenge!

I am so glad to be a part of this community, as a member for 8 years. What started mostly as a fun activity has become a dedicated practice that I feel has helped me grow in many ways as I’ve gotten older.

I have been practicing at Northampton Karate for over five years and it has become a huge part of my life. Both of my daughters started here before me and my oldest recently earned her adult black belt after almost eight years of hard work and dedication. The instructors are extremely talented, committed, fair, and helpful. Classes are a great workout, both physically and mentally, and are filled with dedicated practitioners of all ranks. During this past year of dealing with the challenges of Covid, Northampton Karate has gone above and beyond to keep our dojo intact and thriving: from classes on zoom to socially distanced, masked classes outside in all kinds of weather, I have been able to practice several times a week since March 2020. Love this place so much!

After leaving an amazing kids program behind in Montana, we struggled to find ANY program that was of quality and value for our boys. Many programs taught kids, but the instructors did not know HOW to teach kids. Then we found Northampton Karate. Coach Jason and all of the instructors are fantastic. They know and understand how to teach children. They exhibit calmness and patience with all the kids from the beginner to the most advanced. My boys love Coach Jason and Northampton Karate!

I started training at Northampton Karate when I was five years old. I spent fourteen years here and I literally can't imagine who I would be without my practice. If you are looking for a martial art that goes deeper than punches and kicks, that teaches discipline and fosters individual growth, that values the fight not fought, Northampton Karate is the place to be. The community is unwaveringly friendly and supportive and the teachers are dedicated, knowledgable, and kind. Training in the traditional Okinawan style is hard work, but the rewards are unmatched.

I have been doing karate for 6 1/2 years. I joined in second grade and loved it from the beginning. My sister joined a year before I did and I always thought it just wasn’t my “thing”. I was completely wrong. Northampton Karate is a welcoming, accepting, kind, supportive and always interesting place to practice karate. If you want a good workout or are looking for some time to clear your mind, karate might be the thing for you.

My son has been a member of this dojo for many years. The staff at Northampton Karate are very talented, easy to talk with, work well together and work well with students. They break up the classes into smaller groups or one on one to work on skills. This dojo has gone above and beyond to keep the dojo open and students active during this covid pandemic. I feel very safe sending my child to class. I highly recommend this dojo for kids 5+ to adults.

Northampton karate has been a transformative and positive force in my son's life. The instructors are extremely kind while still expecting a standard of discipline consistent with karate. The community created feels like a family, communication and value exceed all expectations.

Northampton Karate is welcoming and inclusive. My 14 year old is having a great time! She is new to karate but the support and instruction have provided a strong foundation and she's already feeling very confident.

Two generations of our family have trained here. Great dojo for a range of students. The dedicated adult who is deeply committed to their practice will find like-minded folks here. Also, the total beginner will be welcomed with skillful and patient instruction. And for children I cannot say enough good things. My son, now 13, began training when he was 6, and the experience has been 100% positive.
