About Us
Below are a few ways you and your family can get involved plus all of the wonderful benefits and experiences that come along with Jujutsu Ryu training with our school.
We have generations of children and parents who have been with us for many years - and for good reason! You'll get the Best Blue Ribbon Instruction for your child through a combination of the physical and many powerful life skills we teach.
Family Values are so very important to us. Students are encouraged to replicate the values taught in class at home as well. Respect, honor, and a get it done attitude!
Bully-Proof Your Kids while Giving Them a Great Outlet for Extra Energy! School grades are monitored and we always encourage our children to do better. Kids are worked out physically and instructed on how to deal with Bully Situations.
Plus, our Instructors have a Law Enforcement background (read all about our head instructor below!) and know how to instill the very best in safety rules, Stranger Danger, and surviving any confrontation or attack. Children get a big boost in self-esteem, set & reach goals, and learn to never accept defeat as a final solution.
- Kenpo Classes build lean muscle, tone you up, and give you amazing cardio benefits.

Master Curry Karate Jujutsu is a Family run school servicing Staten Island since 1993. As parents, our children have attended our local schools and participated in sports activities; so, we're aware of the concerns that parents have for their children. We strive to meet every aspect of the healthy growth and progression for all family members involved in training.
