Iwata Dojo

Karate practice keeps the body strong and the mind sharp—about 40 minutes south by train. Iwata Dojo has quiet roots on West 29th between the garment district and Koreatown. Sparring, kata drills, and stretch circles run after school and early evening, a reliable fall-back on rainy weeknights when gyms feel crowded.

You’ll find the dojo tucked above street level, two flights up the cream-brick walk-up at 227 W 29th St #2F, New York, NY 10001. Questions or last-minute registrations land at *817-3642*—add the number to your contacts for a quick ring when plans shift. A quick look at the map online will tuck the steps into your walk home or cross-town bike ride.
