The benefits of training at The Phoenix Karate - Red Bank Dojo are immeasurable. One quickly realizes that the study of Kyokushin Karate, a traditional Japanese full contact style, is unlike most martial arts offered to the public today. A combination of stand-up and ground fighting applications, Kyokushin requires a complete dedication to mind and body conditioning in order for any student to excel. This intense application of study directly enhances a greater personal experience both inside and outside the dojo. Shihanai Anthony Codispoti is not only a master practitioner of Kyokushin Karate but is also a dedicated instructor focused on developing the best possible skill sets and setting individual achievements in all his students.

I wanted to express my happiness with the progress and results I have seen with my daughter Chloe’ in your karate class. There is the obvious advantages that karate brings and then there are the subtlety’s that only a parent would know and see. Chloe’ has always been an unusually easygoing and level headed kid. The class has brought out a side to her that I didn’t know was there. Chloe is extremely focused in school and athletics and this has brought her additional confidence and her athleticism has increased. I believe that there is a focus on her that will carry through with her the rest of her life.
One of my core beliefs is that real karate does not train women and men to be good fighters, but good warriors! Shihandai Anthony Codispoti, a godan (fifth degree black belt) in the Phoenix Karate-do Association - Kyokushinkai International system with over twenty years of continuous experience, is one such warrior. A highly dedicated karateka with impeccable credentials, he is known for his on going commitment to learning, training, and studying all the many aspects of the martial arts. Committed to teaching towards excellence to all his students, Shihandai displays that type of spirit and patience that makes him a popular instructor to all ages and skill levels, from beginner to advanced practitioner. A traditionalist with the courage to study the contemporary arts, he reflects a progressive and modern martial artist.

Shihandai Anthony Codispoti has over the last year and a half tailored training for my son and I while working hard to break me of old habits, while still focusing on the traditional teachings and style of Kyokushin Karate. The Red Bank Dojo is a private studio with a curriculum designed for very small classes. This might be part of the second and in my case most important. Anthony has taken the time to call, Email Text, all students, and check up on there progress, what they think, any problems that might be occurring in our lives.To me the personal touch is the difference between a good Chevy and a Mercedes. Derek and I have had Mercedes like service.

Attached is a Utube video of Glen Marie, purple belt, Phoenix Redbank Dojo, performing Tameshiwari. I think you will enjoy it and appreciate the power of Glen specifically and Phoenix Karate universally. For those of you who do not know Glen, he is a kohai of Branch Chief Shihandai Codispoti and a practicing dentist. He is kind and gentle puppy to boot despite his showing of tremendous power!
