From the reviews
I have trained with Sensei Avi for almost three decades and have earned two dans (2nd and 3rd degree black belts) under him. Earning a black belt with Sensei Avi is not automatic nor time-bound.
Outstanding Karate Dojo for Kids I have been highly impressed with Rokah Karate Dojo where my 3 kids, two sons and a daughter has been practicing karate. The dojo creates a welcoming and disciplined environment that focuses on both physical skill development and character-building values.
We have been with Rokah karate and Sensei Avi and Sensei Ruth for over a year now and we could not have made a better choice. Avi is not only a master of karate, but he is a teacher who all of his students admire and aspire to be like. I have never seen my child (10 y/o) admire someone so much.
Dear Ruth and Avi (and all Sensei at Rokah Karate) We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact that Rokah Karate and its amazing instructors have had on my son over the past 10 years.
Your first BJJ class at Rokah Karate & Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
