Classes for Boys & Girls
The children's classes are for boys and girls ages 5- 11 years old. Sifu Mordechai provides individual attention and helps every student grow in their own capacity.
Martial Arts helps the child to improve their confidence, self esteem, awareness, academic performance focus and concentration. It also aids in the physical and mental development of the child. Your child will learn discipline, self defense, relaxation and breathing exercises. Our goal is to to teach traditional Martial Arts in a frum environment (taking all avodah zara aspects out of the practice). As an instructor, Sifu Mordechai trains his students to use Martial Arts for self-defense and not Chas Ve’sholom to use the techniques they learn to become “bullies” or look for fights. He constantly reminds his students that the smartest and safest thing to do is to “walk away” from any situation if possible. The classes are both fun and challenging - with a mix of exercise, karate and related fun activities. General exercises include stretching, strengthening and balance exercises. In teaching the martial arts, we incorporate techniques such as blocks, punches, strikes and kicks. Much emphasis on the development of stances, mindfulness, and strength training goes into the classes. Fun competitions, drills and awards add to the enjoyment of the students. The children have a fun and exciting experience in the class while growing in their Martial Arts development. |

What is the Tora Dojo System?
Tora Dojo was founded in 1967 by Grandmaster Harvey Sober, a professor at the Yeshiva University of New York.
Tora is translated as “tiger” in Japanese and “Torah” in Hebrew, and Dojo means “school” in Japanese. The goal of our system is to help a person build a connection with Hashem, develop character, respect, discipline, self-esteem and learn how to defend oneself. As a disciple of Grandmaster Sober, sifu Mordechai firmly believes in the importance of every frum Yid knowing how to defend themselves. |
