Getting here from Brooklyn

Being close means a mid-week class does not eat the whole evening. That matters more than people expect — the difference between sticking at training and drifting off it is usually logistics, not motivation.
Families here often run junior and senior karate back to back on a Tuesday and Wednesday and get the whole household trained in one trip.
