Adult Karate Classes in Brooklyn
You do not need any experience to start. We welcome students of any skill level, starting from zero. Zen Goju Temple is a fighting school and there is sparring: Thursday is motion study sparring and Friday is harder. The lower rank sets the pace. Friday classes also teach conditioning and grappling.

Ages and level
This class is for ages 17+. No experience is assumed - here is what happens in your first hour.
Ages are a guide rather than a rule. Sensei Ferdman decides when a student is ready to move up, and teenagers of fourteen and over often train in the adult class.
We have taught U.S.A. Goju in the same room on 65th Street since 1972, and the standard has not moved.
The weight room: bench, dip bar, squat rack, and the old stone tools
