The only Karate dojo in my area where I can trust my kids with. I trained in Shotokan Karate since 1981 and I used to teach in the Philippines and in NYC. Since my day job prevents me from teaching my kids and professionally, I needed to find a great dojo for my boys and not just another belt factory or McDojo. Luckily, I discovered Shihan Buttermark whose pedigree in Goju-ryu Karate-do is impeccable. His classes are fun but not too light-hearted… Serious fun. He doesn’t focus only on sport kumite but covers all areas of Goju-kai, including bunkai, conditioning and self-defense. If you live within(or close to) the Old Bridge/Matawan area and are looking for great traditional karate-do, look no further than TKC.
