Amazing place to go and learn, and train very professionally. Everyone is super friendly and easy to get to along with. The training itself is excellent, it’s amazing for wanting to learn a form of Karate and self defense and also for a intense or mellow work out. Personally loved how clean and organized the environment and atmosphere is. Also was able to meet plenty of amazing fighters from different parts of the world and traveled to a few great events as well. 10/10 Loved everything about it. Now living in another state I really do miss seeing all of them bf training with them. Would definitely come back when I have the chance!

My daughter attended the school and she loved it. The instructor is knowledgeable, attentive and caring. He is very kind and treat all his students equally and with respect. The place is clean. My daughter learned so much. I recommend this place 100%Thank you Muteki Rene Cruz.

My son attended classes here and loved it. I stayed in the classes to observe and it was neat to watch him learn and improve. The instructor is amazing. He’s kind, yet firm with instruction. The students thrived off of the learned discipline and showed him much respect. Highly recommend.

All 4 of my children attended here. 2 continue to go as 2 moved out of state; talking 7 + years This school has taught them so much. I am grateful to Shihan Rene for not only building their skills but the confidence they have developed over the years. My son stated and I quote... “1 week of classes here, out way a whole month of progress compared to other schools” ; he started training at the age of 3.I’m also grateful to Rene for the relationship he has developed w/ my boys over the years! They truly have a great amount of respect for him. The school was the best decision I made for them.

Beyond excellent training. I wish that I did this years ago! I’m in the best shape of my life and have obtained skills that I never thought I would have.

I’ve been doing martial arts all my life and have competed for 20 years in many different styles and one thing I can definitely say is Muteki is for sure by far the best around. Shihan Rene has been doing this all his life and his passion is like no others. He’s trained some of the top and best fighters in the world and he’s for sure by far the best of the best. Please check him out if you wanna learn martial arts and stay in shape. He definitely has something for you. The best of the best.

This class was great for me in high school- it taught me self discipline and structure and was a great work out among great people! I would highly recommend it to anyone, of any age group

The reasons why this place is Great first I will start with Shihan Rene Cruz he is the best teacher and instructor in the business and unlike some other teachers he has numerous real fights so his teachings are from experience rather than YouTube videos. He has also trained with the best of them on a pay per view Pro level he is truly a gem in our City. His experience will not only guide you to push you to your best self but help you achieve and set your goals. If your looking for a family setting but also competitive where you can comfortably engage and push yourself come down to Muteki.

Shishan Rene is an inspiration to his students. His level of experience along with motivating his students is unmatched. My daughter joined his Kiokoshin dojo more than 15 years ago and he has had such an influence on her life in so many ways. Many, many thanks Shishan Rene!

This is more than a Karate school. Its a place where you go and become intimately connected with each and every student through your progress. The pace is like no other training you will ever do and Shihan Rene Cruz is excellent at helping each student keep that pace and move forward. You will gain strength, health and confidence with every class you attend. I now live in TX and miss training every day. Hoping when I come back on training visits I will see new faces that understand why Im writing this review.

This is a very clean location all instructors are professional, they take the time to ensure each student understands and prefects the techniques shown. My son enjoyed the time he spent there. Highly recommend Rene and his team are great.

We love this place! Shihan Rene Cruz is the best instructor and he is so great with teaching the kids too. I love how he is able to alter how he speaks to the children vs adults, but still appropriately pushes each student to be the greatest they can be. 10/10 definitely recommend

As a former student that was previously part of the kids class at Muteki Kyokushin, it taught me a variety of lessons that would be applicable to life later on. At a young age, I got to meet new people , made new friends and was introduced to a new culture. I traveled to Montreal for a karate tournament which was a great overall experience.Kartate boosted my confidence as a young kid and shifted my mindset on life to not take the easy way out of things and persevere through it. It’s a family-friendly setting and a very close-knit organization. I would recommend this to anyone as a way to build new skills, meet new people, get healthy and stay fit.

I highly recommend Muteki Kyokushin to anyone from beginner to advance level. The people here are absolutely amazing and the instructor cares for the development of all students. If you’re looking for an atmosphere that is welcoming and inclusive this is most definitely and by far one of the best locations.

Excellent attention to cultivating a bonafide Martial artist. If youre looking for a place to bring out the best potential in you, look no further. Martial artists from all over the world come and train here, so you are truly surrounded by champions in every way.

This a great dojo! The sensei is welcoming to all! I have been coming here for years and I love it here. This is a great environment to learn, there are great leaders here, and everyone motivates you to do the best you can! This is an awesome place even if you want to come for the workout. If you are a kid, a teen, a mother, a father, I strongly recommend you to enroll. You will not be disappointed!!

Trained with Renee and his guys for years. Best time of my life. Amazing teacher highly skilled. All around great experience.

Top notch training and instruction, like no other gym in Rochester. Highly skilled staff and quality equipment. A dojo focused on the training of martial arts rather than profit.

The training here is superior. Shihan Cruz and crew are great. You will get great training in Kyokushin karate and life as well. It is tough, challenging and rewarding.

Muteki Kyokushin is the BEST Dojo in Rochester. Shihan Rene is an excellent teacher and being a student these last 6+ years has been one of the most fulfilling experiences. Highly recommended for both children and adults!!!

You wont be disappointed. Out of 10 I give them a 10. Youll feel at home and Sensei Renee will treat you like family!!!🙂

One of the best workouts youll ever get along with self confidence and discipline. Shihan Rene is the best instructor he motivates you and pushes you to your max as he wants to see all his students succeed! Very professional and affordable. Clean and friendly-family oriented environment. Every one is so welcoming and the students that have been there for years have all created a big family in the dojo and continues to grow! The best dojo in Rochester, NY highly recommended for kids and adults ALL are welcomed!!

When I was a kid, I was a student of Sensei Rene and I cannot put to words how incredible Rene and this dojo is. The second you walk in, you know you are home. Sensei Rene is always there to help you become the best version of yourself. The focus on discipline, respect, hard work, and team work helped me become the person I am today. Whether you are an adult looking to master a new skill or trying to find something to sign you child up for, this is definitely the place to go!

Love!!! Love this place - muteki kyokushin- is the place to bring your family to if youre searching for! Not only is this like a big family setting it also has the greatest sensei who is the best. He keeps it intense and fun while the kids learn self control, discipline and respect. I truly recommend it!

Shihan Rene Cruz helped me evolve as a martial artist and brought my game to the next level. I came into Muteki with a background in amateur boxing. Shihan coached me in boxing, he even arranged sparring sessions with local pros to keep me sharp. Furthermore, he introduced me to the aggressive kyokushin karate style. The conditioning at Muteki is on a whole other level. Shihan Rene introduced me to kettlebell training and unforgiving striking workouts. They usually spar over 20 rounds on Fridays AFTER completing a full workout. When I made my kyokushin debut my punching power, stamina and output had all increased significantly. I recommend Muteki Kyokushin to children, women, people trying to get into shape and serious fighters alike. Shihan is a great man to have in your corner.

I love coming here .Shihan Rene Cruz is an excellent instructor.Its more than just an average Dojo.Great place and a friendly atmosphere.Everyone should check it out and reach your full potential.

An excellent place to train body and spirit, Shihan rene is an excellent person and teacher, his knowledge and experience provide security and transmit martial and spiritual knowledge.

Enrolling my children Shihans Kyokushin program was such an easy decision to make. We were treated as family and felt welcomed during our first visit. The facility is top notch and contains everything necessary for your training needs and success. You will also find yourself in the best shape ever and have fun doing it. What also stands out is Shihans housekeeping and cleanliness. You cannot miss the organization and the self discipline of everyone on how the safety protocols are followed. During these times it is so important to maintain a safe environment. We trust the dojo like family. Come down and visit, you will not be disappointed.

Grow your strength and challenge your limitations in a fun friendly environment. The best dojo I have ever trained in.

The owner is an excellent teacher and really cares about everyone excelling in his class!!

Best dojo in the state. The facility is run by world renowned Shihan Rene Cruz and his knowledgeable instructors. They teach kids and adult classes. Highly recommended for your kids. Shihan Cruz will help them build self esteem, confidence, self respect and active listening skills. Great place for adults to get into shape while learning katas and fighting techniques. 5 stars isnt enough to describe Shihan Cruz and his dojo. OSU!!!

THE ULTIMATE THRUTHThe classes are very structure and beginners are always welcomed, regardless of age, sex and physical capabilities, anyone can start training in Mas Oyamas Muteki Kyokushinkai Karate and enjoy it.As practitioner of Martial Arts for 10+ years I have not come a cross another organization that comes close to what Shihan Cruz offers in his Dojo.

Muteki kyokushin is by far the best fight training experience i have ever had. Shihan Rene cruz takes great care and pride of each student making sure that they are properly trained and ready for anything. He runs his dojo with astounding professionalism and it is an honor to be trained by such a renown world class fighter. OSU!

I am a former student to this Dojo of Muteki Kyokushin, & I’m now living in PR, missing it every single day since, it was the best. Everyone very welcoming & very positive. Sensei Rene Cruz is absolutely amazing, he is very loyal, wants every student to strive, makes you feel confident. Being apart of this Dojo kept me grounded, physically, mentally & emotionally, although I was young taking an adult class, I liked the challenge. Sensei new I loved challenges & was ready to learn any new techniques. I will absolutely be enrolling my kids & myself again, when ever I move back to my hometown of Rochester, NY.I highly recommend!!!!

I would highly recommend Mas Oyamas Muteki Kyokushin Karate dojo. Shihan Rene Cruzs training program is very intense and help will build your personal strength, character and confidence. I have trained here for 7+ years and can truly say that the quality of instruction you receive from Shihan Rene is unlike any other. I recommend this dojo to anyone looking to get in top fighting shape or who has children and is looking for a rewarding character building experience.

Excellent teacher, with years of proven experience with training and fighting around the globe. By training at this dojo you will make great gains, wether looking to train, loose weight, or build your confidence. I have personally known shihan Cruz years before this dojo even existed. He will push you to your best and will never let you get hurt, very important in any high intensity sport.

I have been to multiple places to train but hands down , Muteki Kyokushin is by far one of the best dojos I have ever been.This is not just a place to train in martial arts but one will learn a lot about themselves, their limits , frame of mind and most importanlty respect and discipline in life.One thing I personally learnt is Limits , like fear are often illusion. I highly recommend to invest in yourself today and join this dojo now !!

Shihan Rene Cruz has taught me a lot about the sport of Kyokushin, in a safe and friendly environment. He never let me settle for anything less than my best, and Ive become stronger for it. More importantly, hes in the business to promote the sport and help people, not nickel and dime you. The dojo is safe and clean at all times, too. If youve ever wanted to get fitter, learn Karate, and develop strong self-esteem, this is the dojo for you.

My friend originally brought me here one night to practice with him. As soon as I met the teacher and the other students I was hooked. The dojo is an amazing space to practice and the sensei always works with you to make sure you understand and overcome challenges. This is a guy who would give you the shirt off his back if it was his last one, he is passionate about martial arts and cares deeply about all of his students. When you earn a new belt here, you know you deserve it. While traveling to competitions is when it really shows, we would have lower level belts easily compete with students from other dojos 2-3 belts higher. The training is next level good and one of the best experiences of my life. Over 10 years later, I didnt just have a sensei while at the dojo, but made friends and shared experiences that will last a lifetime.

This is not just a dojo, this is a place where family gathers to train and learn. Shihan Rene Cruzs experience, talent and skills are undeniable. Shihan Cruz has been a friend for many years and when it came time for my son to begin his Martial Arts journey, there was no question as to who would teach, train and mentor him.The training, guidance, support and motivation my son received here reinforced the values, morals and character traits my wife and I instilled in him from a young age.Shihan Cruz not only fosters learning in the dojo, but also encourages his students to strive for excellence in their education outside of the dojo. He would make it a point to ask my son about his grades and remind him how important education is to becoming a well rounded young man.Shihan Cruz pushed my son to unlock his potential and as a result, he took 1st place in a tournament in Montreal, which was his first time ever competing.Look no further! You will not be disappointed!

Muteki Kyokushin is one of the best martial art schools out there and definitely the number one place for Kyokushin Karate.Shihan Rene Cruz has trained and competed with the best in Kyokushin and it shows through the quality training you receive at Muteki. When I was in college, I had to travel two hours (four hours total) to get to this school and it was totally worth it each time. In the short time I trained here, I became not only a better Kyokushin Karateka but a better athlete in general.Shihan Rene Cruz’s blend of Kyokushin and crossfit style conditioning not only creates amazing karate fighters but also great athletes in general.If you want to become an amazing fighter, Muteki is the place.If you want to increase your level of fitness and achieve a physique you can be proud of, Muteki is the place.Osu!

Great atmosphere. Great training & really good environment for learning!! 👍🏽👍🏽

Love the professionalism and the quality and the excellent value of the dojo .. The communication it great and is very friendly

Simply put, I love it here. I’ve been doing Karate for more than half of my life and it’s definitely played a huge part of my life. Shihan loves his students and wants them to succeed. His dojo is truly a second home, and I highly recommend coming here to train.

Very knowledgeable, great atmosphere.

This place has taught me so much in the 12+ years that i have trained here. Amazing family atmosphere, that pushes you beyond your limits. Great way to stay in shape and great for teaching your kids respect and hard work ethic.

The school offers a great environment, training partners, and instruction for men, women, and children. Authentic Japanese fighting karate at it’s best. The head instructor Rene Cruz treats his students like family. He teaches the world famous “strongest karate,” full contact karate style Kyokushin. This style is characterized by hard training and discipline, and made famous by fighters such as George St. Pierre, Andy Hug, and Bas Rutten.

This place felt like family! Amazing energy and training in a diverse environment where everyone supported each other. This place built my self confidence, respect for the discipline, trained me in self defense techniques, and allowed me to make life lasting friends. Couldn’t recommend it more!

The best! I enjoy it as well as my children!

Hands down one of the most family friendly dojo. The kids support one another and encourage each other to be the best they can be. A safe place where kids can go and learn discipline, respect, and team work. Simply the best experience for our family.

Whether you’re a beginner trying Martial Arts out for the first time or an experienced fighter looking for a new gym, THIS is the place to train!Shihan Cruz is an amazing coach/instructor who can take you to any level you desire. With top notch training equipment, a friendly atmosphere, and opportunities to travel and compete, you simply cannot beat Muteki Kyokushin

I went here from the time i was 5 till i was 18, the absolute best training and people you will ever encounter. You get treated like a part of the family and supported by everyone around you. The best place to go.

Great place to learn how to fight and gain self confidence if you don’t have it. If you can succeed in our style of karate you can succeed in anything. It’s a great family atmosphere. Shihan is a great teacher and friend.

A few months ago I was struggling with weight loss. I was desperately looking for a kick start to better health. I decided to give karate try, and let me say this has been by the far the best investment that I have made all year. I was able to drop 13 pounds with the first month of training. In addition to the health benefits of weight loss, I have been able to build up my confidence to tackle some of lifes other challenges.Mas Oyamas Muteki Kyokushin Karate is a family friendly environment that allows space for all skill levels to develop. I can be a bit stubborn at times when it comes to exercise, and lets face it life throws a lot at us at times.

Top notch Dojo. Shihan Cruz goes above and beyond for his students. Always leads by example and is an excellent motivator.He’s helped my son, daughters as well as the other students overcome obstacles and push ahead to the next level.You will definitely see a difference in yourself or your loved one within a matter of weeks.

Strongly recommended for anyone considering. I’m close to 40 years old, was obese and hadn’t done any exercise regularly in years. I joined in April 2019 and Shihan Cruz has done wonders for my self esteem and confidence and I see improvement every week in myself.This is the kind of place that accepts everyone no matter your size or age, it just takes dedication. Check it out if you’re on the fence, you won’t regret it! This has been the best choice I’ve made in years! OSU!

Great teaching and wonderful workouts. If youre looking for professional training, this is the place. Family environment and discipline atmosphere.

Great dojo for our children to learn how to protect themselves, be disciplined, respectful and helpful to others. Shihan Cruz goes above and beyond for his students. Highly recommend!!!

To say this dojo is amazing, would be an understatement. The training is incomparable and by the end of class, you feel accomplished. Class prepares you not only for any dangerous situation you may encounter in life, but it also teaches you valuable life lessons. Moreover, the most incredible aspect of the dojo, would be the sense of family. Everyone is beyond encouraging and accepting. They only want to see you reach your full potential inside and outside class. Being a part of this dojo, builds character, is a great form of fitness, and guarantees you a family that will be sure to brighten your day.

Best training and sparring I have had in a long time. I highly recommend it if you are trying to learn and get in shape.

I cant say enough! This is by far the best Ive experienced for getting back into shape, from Strength training mixed with cardiovascular exercises, body weight training etc The teacher is an awesome motivator and will definitely push you to be the best you can be! 👍💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

As a young teen I learned focus and discipline under Rene. I still carry these virtues and pass along the valuable lessons Kyokushin taught me.

Great family atmosphere and a Shihan with great knowledge! Tons of encouragement- he almost wants you to succeed more than you do! An amazing experience at this dojo.

Great instructor and awsome students. Best place to learn and practice true martial arts !

I trained here while in college and it was the best experience! Everyone treats you like family and we had lots of fun outings together. Some of my best memories are from this dojo! Shihan Rene is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him. I even met up with them when I studied abroad in Barcelona, because they were there for a competition. Loved the community feel and the awesome workout 💜 Highly recommend!

Fantastic school, great people to train with, amazing instructors. Ive yet to find anything close to this ideal environment anywhere in my travels.

Very professional, Clean, honest, and worth the time and $$!

The best place to be if you want to get in shape or learn how to fight.

The Real DealShihan Rene Cruz runs a school that has something for everyone who is looking to experience the The Martial Way. The idea that the dojo should function as a sort of extended family is exactly what you get when you become a student here. You will be pushed, encouraged and supported through your journey in ways that will surprise you and make you a better all-around person.Ive been a student at the dojo for the past 10 years through different life phases, locations and priorities, but the sense of family and support is just as strong as the first day I walked through those dojo doors. Ill be a lifelong member and will be taking my children when they are old enough to experience everything Muteki Kyokushin has to offer. Not only does it provide a great outlet for energy and excitement for children, it also helps grow self-confidence and a sense of achievement that is second-to-none.Whether you are looking to gain self-confidence, increase your fitness, lose some weigh, learn self defense/self disciple or travel internationally and extend your family and support network, Muteki Kyokushin is what you are looking for.

This dojo is truly amazing. You learn so much and gain confidence within yourself like never before. The amount of hard work you put into it creates a whole new atmosphere in your life. You can see the difference with your body within a matter of a few weeks. Family atmosphere but when it’s time to train it’s time to train. Would recommend to anyone. This dojo is the best out there. This is what real muteki kyokushin looks like!!!

If you’re looking for a welcoming environment for either yourself or kids, look no further. This dojo and their leader Shihan Cruz, exceed your expectations! Not only do they provide continuous kyokushin, you will leave feeling confident because of what you have been taught. The location is great and everyone is friendly. Highly recomendable!

I was invited to fight his prestigious Kyokushin Ring War event, Shihan Rene paid me for travel and the stay, we were preparing and trainnig for the fight in his Dojo, and I could see the great atmosphere of teaching karate that is practiced in Muteki, Shihan Rene is a great person and a great teacher, I recommend to everyone that if you want to practice this martial art you enroll in their classes

The best ever I truly admire Reyne and his passion for what he does.

If your goal is to achieve your personal best, this is the place for you. Shihan Rene Cruz, is a true teacher to his core. A worm and welcoming personality, but equally tough when it comes to training. There are no excuses he will listen to, trust me I tried them all. I trained at the Muteki dojo for more than 5 years and would have continued to do so if we haven’t moved out of Rochester.This is not a fancy place, there are no secret techniques taught here, neither will you learn in 15 mins self defense BS.. this is the place for hard work, sweat, soar muscles while sharing some good laughters with your dojo family.Osu...

Awesome 😎 best dojo in the world. #JuuuHearddd! #osu!
