Reynoff Dojo is more than a martial arts school. It represents 43 years of martial arts experience, 32 years of teaching, and a lifetime dedicated to Full-Contact Karate.
Classes at Reynoff Dojo are personally taught by Hanshi Andy Reynoff, 8th Dan—an internationally recognized martial arts master and instructor with more than four decades of experience.
Throughout his 32-year teaching career, Hanshi Andy Reynoff has trained thousands of students, including World and European champions and medalists, as well as hundreds of national and regional tournament winners.
However, medals and trophies have never been considered the true measure of success at Reynoff Dojo.
The school’s philosophy is built on one simple principle:
A teacher’s greatest achievement is not the number of champions he has trained, but the kind of people his students become.
43 YEARS IN MARTIAL ARTS
32 YEARS OF TEACHING
At Reynoff Dojo, karate is viewed as something far greater than a competitive sport.
It is a path toward developing the body, spirit, character, self-confidence, and the ability to protect yourself and others.
Every person enters the dojo with a different goal. Some dream of competing and earning championship titles. Others want to learn practical self-defense, improve their physical fitness, develop discipline, or simply become stronger and more confident.
The purpose of the training process is to help every student discover and develop their full potential.
Students learn Full-Contact SoKarate, practical self-defense, effective fighting techniques, physical conditioning, discipline, courage, and self-confidence.
At the same time, equal importance is placed on respect, honesty, responsibility, and kindness.
At Reynoff Dojo, we believe that strength without character has very little value.
A black belt means very little if it is worn by a person of poor character.
A SPECIAL APPROACH TO TEACHING CHILDREN
Teaching children has always held a special place in Hanshi Andy Reynoff’s career.
Children bring sincerity, energy, curiosity, and tremendous trust in their teacher into the dojo. For an instructor, this is both a unique opportunity and an enormous responsibility.
Every child begins their journey from a different starting point.
Some arrive confident and physically prepared. Others may be shy, physically weak, inexperienced, afraid of confrontation, or simply unsure of their own abilities.
The purpose of training is not merely to teach a child how to strike correctly or win competitions.
The primary goal is to help each child gradually become a strong, confident, disciplined, respectful, and positive young person.
Training is serious and structured, while maintaining a positive and welcoming atmosphere. Children learn to work hard, overcome challenges, build friendships, take pride in their accomplishments, and look forward to returning to the dojo.
Throughout more than 30 years of teaching, thousands of parents have expressed their gratitude after seeing the positive changes martial arts training brought to their children’s lives.
That trust remains one of Reynoff Dojo’s greatest honors—and one of its greatest responsibilities.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF REYNOFF DOJO
At Reynoff Dojo, students learn authentic Full-Contact Karate and practical self-defense.
Here, students learn how to fight—but also how to recognize when fighting is unnecessary.
Respect—but never fear.
Confidence—but never arrogance.
Strength—but never cruelty.
Discipline—without suppressing individuality.
Because the purpose of martial arts is not simply to develop strong fighters.
Its highest purpose is to develop strong human beings.
STRONG BODY
STRONG SPIRIT
STRONG CHARACTER
Reynoff Dojo combines decades of martial arts experience with a modern approach to teaching children, teens, and adults.
The goal of training goes far beyond physical fitness, competitions, trophies, or belts.
The true purpose is to help each person become stronger, braver, more disciplined, more confident, and better prepared for real life.
Today, the World SoKarate Federation continues to grow throughout the United States, Latin America, and around the world. Reynoff Dojo brings that same philosophy to life in every class:
Strong Body. Strong Spirit. Strong Character. Kind Heart.
