Instructors

Two instructors, every class

Families meet the same faces every week.

  • Donald Zimmerman, owner and head instructor, with heavy bags behind him

    Donald Zimmerman

    Owner and head instructor

    I started karate in my forties and teach Shotokan the way my own teacher taught it to me: basics first, then the forms, then slow partner work. I lead the adult and family classes and sit with every student before a belt test.

  • Nicoletta Mariani, instructor, in a white karate uniform with a black belt

    Nicoletta Mariani

    Instructor, kids and teens

    Nicoletta teaches the kids' and teens' classes. She keeps the warm-up moving and the line straight, and she is the first face most new families meet at the door.

Meet them on the mat

A first class is the easiest way to meet the instructor for your group.
