Don't take our word for it. Read what our parents and students have to say about training at Nokado...
Best Dojo in Suffolk County. My kids have been coming here for years. Incredible instructors with a strong passion for teaching. Nokado has helped both of my kids become strong, confident and disciplined. Worth checking them out if you are local to the area!

Nokado is a rare dojo that teaches a traditional martial art while still focusing on real world self defense. The instructors are not only extremely skillful and knowledgeable, with decades of experience, but also unbelievably accessible. They push you to excel in a positive environment where all students support each other. Their kids classes are really outstanding, and not only produce great martial artists, but kids who grow into outstanding teenagers and adults. It's a special place.

Having my son begin classes at Nokado has been amazing. The skills he has learned and the confidence he has gained has made a positive impact on him. All the instructors are helpful and kind. It is his second home.

For us as parents we have had a great experience with them, we are very happy with the instruction and learning that my daughter is receiving about martial arts, my daughter is 14 years old and for her the teaching, discipline, mental and physical benefits have been very satisfying. More than recommending them is thanking them very much for this Martial Arts school.

Very welcoming dojo and great for all abilities. I've been a member for about a year now and really appreciate the structure and encouraging environment. Having never done something like this before, I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting Jiu Jitsu is and the attention to details is excellent here.
