Our daughter has been a part of the CLSK family for 7 years, having started as a "pee-wee" and is now a brown belt. The teachers and staff are exceptional and students get both karate skills and character education. They also transitioned seamlessly into virtual sessions during the pandemic. Their summer camps are a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

My child and I have both taken classes at CLSK. The quality of instruction is excellent for all ages, meeting each student where they are and encouraging excellence at every level of fitness. With social isolation measures in place, they immediately pivoted to online learning, with a lot of flexibility (including live lessons, recorded lessons, social time, one-on-one lessons, all at a variety of times to suit various schedules.)

CLSK is one of the best parts of my day to day life, even more so during the pandemic. They were quick to set up reliable, works-for-everyone online courses to make it feel like we are maintaining some kind of normalcy during these super weird times. The teachers at CLSK truly want to support you and help you improve on your personal fitness and physical/mental strength goals. If you're considering joining at CLSK, DO IT!

CLSK has been a wonderful part of our daughter's life in the last year. We signed her up to try out karate soon after we moved to Ithaca last summer, and we haven't looked back. All of the staff are so supportive and encouraging, and this has continued to come through in the online class environment during the pandemic. On multiple occasions our daughter has received personal video messages recognizing her efforts and offering encouragement. They really have found a way to keep providing the personal attention that is so central to the class experience at the dojo.

CLSK provides a safe, supportive and encouraging environment that fosters the development of confidence, self-esteem, and physical fitness. An emphasis is placed on the importance of good character (for children, badges are earned for honesty, discipline, family, education and more), an admirable element of the CLSK holistic approach to promote all aspects of personal growth. The dojo is a wonderful reflection of the area’s diverse population, and everyone is welcomed. We are impressed at the considerable effort that Jun Shihan Robin, Jun Shihan Gail and the wonderful instructors have devoted

Cayuga Lake Seido Karate is an excellent place to learn karate, get some good exercise, meet friendly people, and have fun! During the Covid-19 pandemic, the online classes (both live and recorded) have been a great way to keep moving, plus they have meditation classes that are so helpful for staying calm and centered. Excellent program!

We moved to Florida from NYC during the pandemic and were looking for a Seido Karate virtual option so that our son could continue his practice. I found Cayuga Lake Seido Karate on Google and it has been a fantastic choice! Jun Shihan Robin and her colleagues are extremely professional and caring, with a genuine focus on building character along with physical skills. We feel very lucky to have connected virtually with them, I would highly recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.

My boys and I have been part of this wonderful organization since January 2007 and I am so grateful to have found CLSK. Not only is it a place to learn karate skills and improve physical fitness, but it is also a place to strengthen the mind and spirit. I have been able to take the skills that I have learned here and apply them to my everyday life. CLSK is a welcoming community where you will find compassion, camaraderie, personal challenges, and supportive peers and instructors. Even as we have had to go to virtual training, the dedication and quality of instruction has been unwavering. I am so
