Every student gets individual attention when needed. This service is free. Most other martial arts schools add on fees for private instruction during class. We also offer one-on-one classes at additional cost.

Sensei Rick believes that Karate is not a sport, it is an art. He feels there are enough sports available in Greenwich, and therefore the training at his dojo is focused on individual success, instead of team success.

Sensei Rick Zimmerman has been teaching Karate to kids and adults since 1997. He has developed a distinctive approach for fast, efficient learning.

   * Students aren’t awarded promotions, they earn them!

   * As soon as students feel they have mastered a required subject, they are tested. If they pass, they immediately get rewarded with a new stripe or belt.

The power of this approach is two-fold: A) The timing of the test is initiated by the student, not the Sensei, so much of the anxiety of testing is avoided. B) Students work hard continuously, instead of “cramming” for a deadline. Using this approach, students increase both their learning speed, and their retention!
