DeSimone’s Martial Arts

DeSimone’s Martial Arts is a family fitness center dedicated to educating students of all ages in the benefits and teachings of the martial arts. We promote a healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally. The school’s goal is to build self-confidence, discipline, concentration, and focus in all students regardless of age or ability. We strive to create self-awareness in both self-defense and daily life.

About

All classes are personally taught and overseen by Bob DeSimone, owner of the school. A fifth degree black belt in Kenpo Karate, Mr. DeSimone has been training and teaching at some of the top schools in Syracuse, New York for over 30 years. He now brings his extensive training and knowledge to his own school. Here Mr. D (as he has been known for over 25 years), has developed a blend of traditional forms and modern techniques to create a curriculum unique to DeSimone’s Martial Arts.

 

DeSimone’s Martial Arts offers classes six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Some of the programs available are:

Pre-K Kickers

A class designed and structured for preschool age kids to introduce martial arts in a fun way that still teaches them the basics to succeed in and out of the dojo.

  • “Being new in town, we wanted to find a place where our son felt a sense of community during the dark time of COVID. The owner called us back within minutes of our inquiry and has been nothing short of an excellent mentor for our kid since! Every day, he anxiously awaits for practice, he works on his moves at home, and feels pride in wearing his karate uniform. The dojo is spotless and ensures the safety of all during this global pandemic. ”
