Kokushi Budo Institute
A friend recommended me Kokushi Budo, and I'm so glad he did. This is a family run dojo, and you learn real authentic judo from Shintaro Higashi, two time USA national champion. There's no comparison for the quality of instruction you'll receive! Everyone is super friendly, no attitude and there are a lot of senior level students who are extremely willing to help out with the new students. Everyone here really knows what they're doing and have a real love and appreciation for judo. It's really great to be part of the community! In addition, they also have aikido, karate, and jujitsu – plus the dojo is 'hidden' in the basement of a Buddhist temple – really cool and so New York.

Sentiment Analysis
During my time there, I was able to receive incredible instruction from Shintaro and great advice form other club members.
Great place, great sensei, great people
World class instructor like Shintaro Higashi, I went from not having any martial arts experience to being a competitor in all local tournaments in New York and New Jersey.
This dojo has an excellent children’s and adults judo program.
Sensei Shintaro made you feel welcome and the atmosphere was great, the next time I'm in New York I will give them another visit.
The best judo in NY, taught by a many time National Champion.
I love the atmosphere at the place and the other students are great.
There are many high-level black, and brown belt competitors who constantly work one-on-one with students.
