"I cannot say enough positives about Genbu Kai Oneonta and Sensei Rivera. The Dojo strikes exactly the right balance between discipline, respect and achievement while being fun at the same time. Sensei cares about his students and carefully guides each individually in their development. Karate can be a life time endeavor and the traditional approach is time tested."

I can't say enough about how wonderful this karate-Do studio has been for our family. From the moment my daughters and I walked in, we were made to feel so welcome. Sensei Freddy, is an amazing individual. He is so kind and patient, and his energy with the kids is just contagious. The whole Karate-Do family is amazing. The open arms, genuine love for the family unit, and the fervor for the Shito-Ryu / Genbu-Kai
principles and technique. They have made my family feel like we have been here longer and the positive changes we've seen in our children are incredible. Sensei Freddy has this amazing way of being firm and focused while also making every
single class feel like an adventure. Alongside Senpai Patrick and Rosa's encouragement and support. My oldest, who used to be a little shy, now confidently calls out her moves and loves participating in class. My youngest has struggled with focus, but they have taught her to be more attentive and self-controlled, which we’ve even noticed has carried over to their schoolwork. We are so grateful for this opportunity. It’s more than just learning self-defense; it's about building confidence, respect, and a strong work ethic. It is amazing to watch, not only learning but the anticipation and excitement of advancing through the ranks. We're also so excited about the opportunity to do competitions in the future. It’s a wonderful program, and we’re so happy we found it. We can't wait to see what they accomplish next!
