During quarantine time at home, Sensai Hunt continues to provides well rounded sessions of Kickboxing and Karate classes for all levels and all ages. My son and I receives Sensai Hunt's instructions twice per week for both Karate & Kickboxing. The Kickboxing classes keep my mind and spirit positive and focused and my son Dylan's skills in Karate is continuing to grow and strengthen for next level.

Thank you Sensai Hunt!

An excellent Dojo run by phenomenal martial artists. My 5 year old son learns valuable skills while having fun even during COVID-19. Jeff Hunt's online classes have been truly a blessing in keeping my son motivated, hopeful, and engaged during these challenging times. The instructors are beyond caring and welcomes feedback from parents and students as a means to stay connected and meet their needs. I HIGHLY recommend this Dojo for anyone looking for a top notch karate school with a family-oriented feel.

Jeff Hunt is an excellent sensei. The online classes have been awesome and he focuses on everyone individually. I would highly recommend taking classes!

Jeff Hunt has been graced to inspire people of all ages to be healthy. Not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. His approach is very reassuring, garnering positive outcomes. As a visionary, when the world was stifled by the corona virus, he remained focused by creating viral classes to keep his students motivated and healthy. Sensai Hunt is a force, a necessary leader and major component in our community. I am glad to be connected to this dojo.

I used to take Jeff's Karate class when I was young. It taught me amazing discipline, self control, technical skill, teamwork, perseverance, comradeship, etc. I could keep going with what someone can take away from that class. I highly recommend it for every child. And now as an adult, I heard about his adult kickboxing class and I HAD TO return. No questions asked. And as expected, I was not disappointed. The class is absolutely amazing. The energy from Jeff, his instructor and the students in the class is contagious. Before you know it, you're giving everything you have with each punch, kick and elbow. Jeff's charisma finds a way to get the best out of each person, regardless of their level. I 100% recommend this class to anyone!

Jeff Hunt has continued to provide a platform to work his adult kickboxing class in this time of social distancing in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. He has incorporated different video conferencing software to keep us together.

One word describes Mr. Hunts business, EXCELLENCE! He demands attention from parents to children. It’s not just about Karate, he makes sure your child education is up to par! He’s a advocate for Education. He’s not about just taking your money, he’s concerned about your child’s mental health also!!! I would recommend him to anyone. God Bless him and his business. 💪🏽😎

When we enrolled our daughter in Jeff Hunt Traditional Shotokan Karate we were looking for an extracurricular activity that would bolster her physical fitness & exercise, increase her self-confidence, introduce her to a new skill and expand her interest and abilities. To our delight, we received much more than we anticipated. In just nine months, our daughter went from tentatively entering the dojo to eagerly anticipating each class and advocating for additional sessions. We attribute her enthusiasm to the fact that her efforts and growth are consistently affirmed. All of the instructors are knowledgable and passionate about their discipline and in each session our daughter is challenged to achieve her personal best. In sensei, our daughter has found a role model and mentor. She holds him in high esteem and his words of advice and inspiration resonate with her beyond martial arts class. Sensei’s holistic approach to working with our daughter reaffirms our family’s values, bolsters her confidence and reinforces a growth mindset that challenges her to be a better person each and every day.
We are thrilled that Jeff Hunt Traditional Shotokan serves the youth of our community; reinforcing self empowerment, self-discipline, respect for women, kindness and academic excellence. The challenging task of raising healthy & successful children is the responsibility of every individual and organization within a community. It is evident that Jeff Hunt Shotokan Karate recognizes this responsibility and accepts the challenge to positively contribute to and elevate the minds and hearts of the students it serves. We are grateful to Jeff Hunt for his dedication to our daughter and our community.

This is long overdue. If you want your child to be trained by the best then hands down, Mr. Hunt is your Man. His technique is inspiring and he has taught me, as a parent of a child in his class, grace and humility. Mr. Hunt has been training my son Marcus for over five years. Mr. Hunt has not only trained my son in his craft, he has helped to guide and shape Marcus through mentorship and accountability. I have been in the field of education four twenty-four years, 11 of those years in my current position as a High School Principal. I can tell you with total confidence that Mr. Hunt is a pillar in my community and all his students thrive under his stewardship. Sending your child to train with Mr. Hunt is an invaluable investment into your child’s future. Thank you Mr. Hunt. Antoinette R. Parent/Principal.

I am glad that my daughter ISHA has gone to this Dojo under the tutelage .of Sense'Jeff Hunt and SenPie .She has become very confident in her ability to achive almost anything.Math has become one of her favorite subjects where it was once challenging.Her whole academics has improve greatly since attending Jeff Hunts Dojo. This January she was moved from a special ed curriculum to main stream curriculum at her junior high school.Jeff Hunt encourages the children in such a way that taps into their .hidden potential . Isha began to believe in herself and she has become sure of herself since attending karate. .

My then 3 year old son, Kayden started attending Karate at Sensei Hunt's Dojo in September of 2018. The main reason I opted for karate as an out of school activity was because my son was having difficulty adjusting and following instructions at school. Initially, I just researched what activities were located in the neighborhood, and I stumbled upon Sensei Hunt’s website. I thought it was worth a try.
I first would like to say that I love everything about the way this Dojo is ran. Sensei Hunt and Sempei are phenomenal with the children. Sensei provides structure and discipline with his tone without being mean or threatening to the kids. And Sempei; a teddy bear at heart. The contrast in their personalities brings such a nice balance to the class. They are able to command and give guidance to the children while instilling self-control, responsibility, and focus. For my 3 (now 4) year old, I was heavily concerned that my child was too young and too disorderly to participate in Karate. But he was welcomed and treated wonderfully.
I truly think that it is extremely important for young boys (and girls) to see important role models in their communities. Raising children is not easy, it truly takes a village. Thank you Sensei Hunt for providing an additional safe haven for my son.

Sensei you are truely a blessing to our community and an inspiration to the kids and to us parents. Your service goes far beyond the art of karate but extends to a place where guidance, structure and respect permeates and is taught to the kids. My 5 year old son (Logan) enjoys interacting in the dojo and is learning valuable life lessons in the process. High 5 to Sensei and Senpai!

I’ve enrolled my three children at Mr Hunt’s dojo. That was one of best initiatives I’ve undertaken. Students are continuously learning lessons, wisdoms they can use for their lifetimes. Sensei and Sempi are pillars of this community. I’am forever grateful for developing my son Waltz into a renaissance man.
Thanks

Jeff Hunts Shotokan Karate school was a vital source of personal growth for me while I was a student. He is the ultimate professional, completely down to earth, and an excellent influence on all those who surround him. He has had a generational impact on myself and my family throughout the years. I would highly recommend this school to any individual looking for spiritual, physical, and mental growth.

My son Mr.Bell is 4yrs and been enrolled since April 2 2018

The Entire Jeff Hunt Shotokan Karatee Family is 100% Genuine and Straight Foward.
Sensai Hunt has no favorites he pays close attention to all the kids. He notices their growth and accommodates them for it.
When My son misses a day I can see the disappointment .
Sensai loves what he does and I respect him 100% for his Patience and understanding. Along with Senpai the Love and Respect shown to the children and parents ....just gives me a feeling of accomplishment .
THANK YOU SENSAI AND SENPAI ❣️

The kickboxing class is truly a unique experience. All areas are covered. I owe my tight sculpted abs to this class. You get cardio, core strength training, improved flexibility. As someone who is very sensitive to the energy of others and my surroundings, I get the feel that I'm in a spiritually protective space. Class is supportive of one another as we share our experiences from outside world and we end each session with prayer.

Wonderful, Motivated, Dedicated, Spiritual... I could go on and on. This guy is not only a karate teacher, but he's a individual that is dedicated in changing the community for the better. I would recommend all parents to send their kids to this karate school without a doubt. I can ensure that your child will gain discipline not only in a physical aspect, but also mentally and spiritually. Jeff played a huge part in my success and career path. Jeff Hunt Shotokan Karate school is a landmark in the Queens area.

What’s up Sensei!!!!!!! Just wanna let you know that because of YOUR fair, firm and consistent dedication and instruction, my ONLY son Tj is in ABSOLUTE BEAST MODE!!!!!!!!!!!!! That includes his grades, passion for karate and overall attitude. Thank you again for your guidance! From T. Wells Sr.

I started with Sensei Jeff when my son Bhieki was 5 yrs old and needed help with focusing in Kindergarten. 2 years later my 5 y/o daughter Moegju began training also. In 2008 Sensei Jeff had a "Biggest Loser Contest." It was my time to step in the mix. I did and who could have imagine that after 3 months I was able to lose 21 pounds. I dream of that figure again and again. My husband saw the benefit and he too began training. Later that year the family had to stop training due to imy surgery/ unemployment and financial issue. It was, and has been a devastating blow to our amazing journey Sensei had poured so much into us, I cannot tell you how it saddened us to stop. Year after year the entire family yearned to return to training and Sensei always say "come I'll work with you." He never seen to mind the money piece. I always plan to return. A year ago I enrolled my youngest son Ajani. To my amazement he broke out like a cannon - Sensei and Sempi began the pouring, and like we had in the past, the training has been beyond my expectation. Sure enough, my other children now wanted to return and myself of course. So here we are now. Back for the second round. 2nd time around a charm!!!.

Sensei Jeff, you are a great believer in people. You give unselfishly. I pray that the Dojo prosper and be there for hundreds more people to get the best of you.
Thanks for all the prayers you pray fro all the families in in Dojo.
Thanks to your family for sharing you!!!!!.

Sensei Hunt is an amazing instructor and his program not only focuses on karate but also on ensuring that his students excel in academics and have self control and focus in all aspects of life. My son has some challenges in maintaining his focus and self control but Sensei always takes the time and goes above and beyond for him and his other students to make sure they are confident in their karate practice. He also makes sure that they understand the importance of education and building strong character. This program has helped my son both mentally and physically and I cannot thank Sensei Hunt enough!
