Testimonials:
We have been members of Croton Karate for the past five years. Sensei Peter Doherty has built a school focused around self defense, discipline, fitness, and FUN!!!! He knows the strengths and weaknesses of each of his students and works tirelessly to help each student improve. He gives 100% when in the dojo and expects no less than that from his students. -The Ferraris
Croton Karate is a must for anyone looking to get in shape, improve concentration and have fun while learning a useful skill. Classes from small children up to adult make this a great way to get in shape for the whole family.
Sensei Doherty's kind but firm approach to teaching children how to defend themselves has given my kids many benefits such as responsibility, respect, discipline while improving their physical condition, concentration and confidence. Belts are earned, not paid for on this Dojo and the kids value them more for it.
As an adult over 40, the mixed adult class is a fun and fantastic way to get into great shape without the drudgery of gym work. Students all shapes, and sizes often with old injuries quickly learn the best techniques for them. On the fitness side, I lost 4 inches from my waist and added 2 to my chest in 6 months.
Quite simply this is the best run, best value dojo in the area run by people who clearly love the art. -Richard W.
