Welcome to Northeast Karate & Kickbox.  My name is Master Luzzi and I have been practicing and studying the martial arts for over 30 years and teaching for 25 of those.  Our foundation is in traditional Okinawan Karate, although we are also incorporating Muay Thai Kickboxing, Krav Maga (Israeli Self-Defense System), Ju Jitsu (Grappling), and Boxing into our curriculum.  I have dedicated my life not only to martial arts, but to being an educator.  I truly believe that everyone can benefit from the martial arts, physically and mentally, and that we can better our community by getting as many people involved as possible.  I have seen so many lives changed for the better as a result of what we teach, whether it is a child that improves his or her grades or an adult who has lost 100 pounds, that I’m just as excited to be teaching today as I was 25 years ago!

Our Mission is…

To develop our students into Black Belt Leaders who do their best to live up to the standards, principles, and philosophy of the martial arts.

To influence our students’ attitude so they will become goal-setters, be able to overcome obstacles in their life, and be the kind of people who take action to achieve success.

To influence our students’ behavior so that they will develop the habits and lifestyle that lead to success, in both their physical health and their school, career, and home lives.

To develop our students’ character so they will do their best to live by a set of Black Belt Principles, including integrity, courtesy, self-control, perseverance, and self-discipline.

We are on a quest to be our best!

The Physical Benefits…
In a society that is struggling with obesity and all of the health problems associated with it, the martial arts are a great choice to get active.  Every class offers a great total body workout that is bound to improve your fitness, build strength, and drop pounds.  The classes are high energy, fast-moving, and exciting which helps with the motivation factor.  Practicing the martial arts is interesting and mentally stimulating so that you will actually be looking forward to your next workout!  Plus, the rank system is a built-in motivator, because you are always aiming for that next goal.  In order for a workout program to be successful and beneficial you have to be committed to it and consistent with it. In this regard the martial arts are perfect because you’ll actually WANT to do it!

And so much more…
What makes our school truly unique and the best around is our modern approach to teaching and developing of the life skills that the martial arts are famous for.  Our programs develop confidence, self-discipline, better focus, a higher level of respect, and self-discipline because our instructors are all highly trained in the teaching methods that instill those benefits.  Almost every school claims they will develop these things, but the difference is we actually know HOW to do it!  Whether you are just listening to how positive our instructors’ language is or to them deliver a Message of the Week about Goal Setting you will be able to see right away that our school really delivers on the benefits we promise in our ads!
