Est. 1963

Discover the heart of karate at CNY Okinawan Karate & Kobudo School, where tradition meets transformation. Established in 1963, our dojo is a sanctuary for those seeking authentic Okinawan GoJu Ryu Karate-Do and Okinawan Kobudo. Guided by Sensei Marvin Labbate, who began his journey as a 10-year-old student and purchased the dojo from his teachers at age 30, our school continues a proud legacy. Now with over 57 years of experience, Sensei Labbate carries that tradition forward with dedication and excellence. Our instructors lead students of all ages through a dynamic curriculum that builds strength, sharpens focus, and develops leadership — shaping not just martial artists, but pillars of the community. Step into our dojo and begin your path to growth, resilience, and connection today.
