Martial Arts Schools near Niantic

“How many of us have "always wanted to" ? Since I was a young boy I desired to study Karate, but something always got in the way. Living in downtown we are SO FORTUNATE to have Sensei Andy and the Dojo. I was very nervous to start as an almost 40 year old beginner. Sensei Andy offered me a private first session to familiarize myself with all things Karate and I recommend the same to any beginner. Goju Ryu is a beautiful martial art passed down from the Okinawans and from the research and understanding I continue to build, Chuck Merrimans Dojo here in Niantic is an outpost of that art!“

“Incredible professors with true mastery of jiu-jitsu. They adapt their teaching to each student’s personality and intensity, making every class both challenging and supportive.“

“Training on the mat with LoPriore Sensei is more than learning a martial art and how to defend oneself. The level of personal growth that I have endured over the past twelve years stretches out into many facets of my life. Personally and professionally my level of focus and self esteem are beyond what I could have cultivated with anyone anywhere else. Professional? Yes! Top notch training? Yes! Does he truly care about his students? Absolutely! Bushidokai Traditional Martial Arts is the real deal.“
