"We are so lucky to have found Syracuse Martial Arts Kenkyukai right in our own backyard of Cicero. Since signing up our son, 6 and daughter, 11 for karate a few months ago we have seen a positive change in their attitude towards us, their elders and each other. Sensei Oddy has taught them discipline, respect and self-confidence. They are very excited every week to attend each class where Sensei Oddy takes their boundless energy and focuses it on karate training. They are even speaking a little Japanese at home! Their continued improvement and advancement is amazing to watch!"
- Jill & Andre Herrera
"I began training at Syracuse Martial Arts Kenkyukai almost six months ago with no prior training in karate or martial arts. Intimidated and scared I walked in my first day and was welcomed with open arms into my new dojo family! Since joining karate I feel an increased level of focus and confidence in my life which I never thought possible. The balance of traditional training as well as sport training is unique to this dojo and offers students who are interested the opportunity to compete at a competitive level while at the same time allowing them to train in traditional goju ryu. The knowledge and support I continue to gain from Sensei Oddy and Sensei Kushnir as well as from my fellow students is immeasurable.
Sensei Oddy and Sensei Kushnir, for all your continued efforts, dedication and endless patience...
THANK YOU!"
