Karate for Onondaga, Nedrow & Syracuse families.
The Tearney story started in Syracuse: Greg Tearney grew up in the city's 15th Ward. More than fifty years later, families from Syracuse's south and west sides, Onondaga Hill and Nedrow make the short drive out to Township 5.
Getting here
Three easy ways
to get here.
From Tipperary Hill and the west side, take West Genesee Street west. Township 5 is about 12 minutes away.
From Onondaga Hill, Route 173 (Onondaga Road, then Warners Road) brings you north to West Genesee Street in about 15 minutes. From Nedrow and the South Valley, follow Route 173 west across the hill; plan on 20 to 25 minutes.
From downtown, take I-690 west to Route 695, then Route 5. That's about 15 minutes, door to door.
- Tipperary Hill~12 min
- Downtown Syracuse~14 min
- Onondaga Hill~14 min
- South Valley~21 min
- Nedrow~23 min
Typical drive to 150 Township Blvd without traffic.
Where the Tearney story
began.
25+ families from Syracuse's south and west sides, Onondaga Hill and Nedrow train with us today.
Our students from this part of the county come from the Syracuse City, Westhill and Onondaga Central school districts. After Camillus and Fairmount, it's our largest group of families.
Classes start at 4:00 PM and run into the evening. The last class of the night ends at 7:40 PM Monday through Wednesday and 7:30 PM Thursday, so families who come after work can still make it.
New students start with our 3‑lesson trial: three lessons and a uniform for $34.99. We'll schedule your first lesson within 1–2 business days.
Classes for the
whole family.
