At Lynbrook's Ultimate Martial Arts and Fitness we study the Shotokan style of karate. Our students are taught the 3 technical elements-- kihon (basics), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring), which are balanced with lessons of respect and character development (foundations of Shotokan philosophy). Students can join our program from the age of 3, and classes are designed to effectively teach each student according to age and skill level.
Our Little Dragons program offers students the opportunity to build a strong foundation while having fun! Students learn the basic skills necessary for karate training in the future, as well as those needed for their social, emotional, and educational development such as respect, focus, confidence, discipline, and good attitude.
Our Karate Juniors recite the rules of the student maxims before every class in order to remember that they should abide by them: "SEEK PERFECTION OF CHARACTER; BE FAITHFUL, ENDEAVOR, RESPECT OTHERS, REFRAIN FROM VIOLENT BEHAVIOR". Confidence, respect, focus, and coordination are instilled in students in the Karate Beginner program as they are taught the essential elements of kihon, kata, and kumite.
Our advanced students have mastered the basic stances, techniques, and kata. At this point in their martial arts journey they are ready to master precision of technique and form as they learn advanced kata. In addition to learning advanced techniques of kata and kumite, our students assume a leadership role by serving as role models for our beginner students.

This is an incredible dojo with superb leadership and Sensei. I recently signed my 2 boys (12 & 6) up for karate and myself and my wife have joined their "Fit in 50" fitness class. I could not be more satisfied in our decision to join this dojo.
I can honestly say that this is hands down the best thing I have ever invested in for my sons and for myself.
I found an immediate sense of community and friendship with the people at this school.
The instructors are highly skilled and are open and engaging. The classes are open to all levels of ability and designed to promote personal

Great place with great instructors - it is definitely geared toward kids, which I really like! I gladly recommend it to anyone who is interested in enrolling their child(ren) in a solid martial arts program. They are coming back nicely in response to the pandemic- with a very clean facility, social distancing procedures, and several class options for students, including Zoom and outside classes. I'm very comfortable bringing my kids here, and I hope that other parents will be as well.

If I wasn't a fan of this dojo already they have completely set the standard on customer care especially during this time; our son was supposed to test for his provisional belt right before the pandemic unfortunately they closed down during state and health restrictions. Now they we've entered a reopening phase they have taken the time to schedule individual belt testing sessions all while still offering zoom weekly meetings for free since the shutdown . They also stopped all contract payments as a courtesy. They completely practice the high standards they teach my son and I couldn&apos

Great Karate Dojo. I have not enough words to express how amazing, professional and respectful every single Sensei and staff member are. This is our second year in the program, and my two kids, 5 and 3, love it, they learn a lot about being focus, self confidence, and respect others, having fun from beginning to end in every single class. Senseis call and know every single kid by his or her name, and never leave any kid behind. Great atmosphere for parents , they make you feel like a part of the family.
I don't usually write a review, but this place is amazing and fully recomendable.

Ultimate Martial Arts and Sensei Mamdouh Ibrahim are fantastic. I'm not a customer - I'm a friend and colleague. My students compete against and with their students respectfully and cooperatively. Their students are very well prepared, coachable and respectful... this absolutely comes from the quality of their training and core principles. For… locals seeking a martial arts discipline for your child to study, it's always been buyer beware; however, Ultimate Martial Arts - your local dojo, produces MANY, quality national champion athletes. And... not just at any tournament, they are national

Ultimate Martial Arts in Lynbrook is the best! Our son has been part of their Little Dragons program for a little bit over a year and we love it. He started when he was 3, so his attention span wasn't great, but the sensais are excellent with little kids. They know how to keep them engaged and have fun, but they also know how to make sure they don't get too silly. They know all the kids names, and even some of the parents, so it feels like family. For the little dragons its more about discipline and following instructions, but they are also introducing karate skills, proper form on punches

2 years and 2 months ago we made the best decision for our child and signed her up at Lynbrook Ultimate Martial Arts & Fitness. She's now an honor roll student, full of confidence and dreams, and has excelled in this sport on National Levels. The sensei's at this dojo are incredible, and I couldn't be prouder to say this has become our second family and second home. The dojo is so clean and smells so good, unlike other gyms, and everyone is so incredibly friendly. Lynbrook Ultimate Martial Arts & Fitness offers boot camp, MMA and kickboxing classes for adults as well and

My daughter (5 yrs) has been coming here for the past few weeks and I couldn't be happier. She excels at following direction, but her quiet demeanor was the main reason I considered this activity. They are truly empowering her with a voice and confidence I've never seen. The instructors leave no one behind. They are cognicent of everyone and know when to adjust to optimize the child's engagement.
I'm SO happy. I hope to continue this for the long haul
Thank you to everyone here, you all have made this such a great experience for our family

My son Samuel have been at this dojo for 4 years. The reason I like this dojo bc they care about your kids. Samuel used to be shy and can't handle too much stress. He cry a lot and can't take any pain. During these 4 years, he grow so much. The way he present himself beyond my imagination. I never thought karate can change him. Samuel love this dojo.

Discipline is the name of the game at Ultimate and it is an awesome influence on kids.
The gym space is top-notch and the instructors are wonderfully committed to the classes.
My son is a wild kid and the classes focus him physically and mentally.
My daughter was quiet and shied away from physical activity, but the group instruction has really started to bring her out of her shell.
In addition to all this it is a fun, instructional way to keep kids physically active. (BONUS: they pass out early for bedtime on class nights.).
They offer classes for all levels and adult training classes as well

I am fitness freak. Pushing my physical limit is and watching my body change was my goal. I was at a gym that wasn't fitting my needs. I signed up initially for once a week , five months later I have dropped my other membership and go to UMAF 5-6 times a week. Ibrahim is an amazing instructor. He puts his heart and soul into the classes and cares about each student individually. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming , the gym is kept up immaculately. I couldn't be more happy. I look forward to each class with trepidation not knowing what Ibrahim has up his sleeves for us. At my age I
