Martial Arts Schools near Shakopee

“Love this place and Mr Roell. My son is neurodivergent and even in this short time his confidence and his focus has improved by leaps and bounds! His special ed and regular teacher have commented on his level of growth in those areas in the recent months and I attribute it to USA Karate and Mr Roell. He has the patience to work with kids that are neurodivergent and can really connect with them.“

“Master Moon’s Shakopee location is excellent! The instructors are highly talented, genuinely care, and grow their students in the virtues of TKD (and life) such as confidence and respect. My son has been a student for years and loves the strong community!“

“My 10 year old son has been training with them for 4 years. Before he joined, we found out a year after the fact that he was being bullied at school (he was in kindergarten) by a kid much older/bigger than him. There were little signs that something was going on, but it took a year for him to tell us.After joining American Top Team, he quickly gained back his self confidence! They do an amazing job teaching the kids self defense, focus, discipline and hard work all while having so much fun!Fast forward to last year: a kid randomly comes up to him on the bus and punches him. My son does nothing, which confused his friends. He knew he could defend himself but didn’t feel like he needed to. So instead, he ignored the kid and told a teacher when he got to school. Now this year he’s starting to compete and is loving it!“

“My daughter has been attending Master Moon’s Tae Kwon Do for about a year now and we could not be happier with our experience. Not only do the students learn the art of self defense but also learn; discipline, respect of self and others, as well as focus that goes beyond just their Tae Kwon Do classes. My daughter takes such pride in earning each belt and has been extremely proud of having reached the yellow belt level. She has learned that it takes time and hard work to achieve a goal, and that it is all worth it. She is more self confident and is passing on the knowledge she has learned, more specifically the three principles of focus (body focus, mind focus and eye focus), to her academia and other activities she’s involved in.The Instructors are knowledgeable, experienced, and personable, and have used that knowledge to create not only a helpful and safe learning environment, but a warm and inviting one as well. The class may have many students at once, but they are broken into small groups by ability and each student gets a lot of individual attention from the teachers. No matter your level of skill, they are able to communicate their expertise in a way everyone understands. As a parent, I highly recommend joining this class!“

“I just started attending here and am truly blown away by the kindness, communication, and respect of this Gym. The owner Hayden and the coaches are knowledgeable, hard working, and know how to teach. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a gym. Very beginner and experienced friendly.“

“This program has been an incredible boon for our 7 year old. He was struggling with some self-confidence, discipline, and interest in martial arts.Master Hoops orientation not only introduced us to the concepts of taekwondo, but more importantly, their core values and what they teach beyond the techniques.They value respect, discipline, and creating healthy habits in your life. Part of belt progression includes engaging with their teachers and community, family life at home, and practice and routine.Through his lessons, our son has learned to balance his fun with important things and provided us a curriculum and reward system for encouraging him to take on more responsibility and be respectful.The taekwondo skills are great for focusing his body and finding healthy outlets for his energy and strength. I am interested in joining myself to learn alongside him, and they have a family model that encourages that.For the price of the program, you get classes twice a week at your skill level, and equipment is included as you progress and advance. It is an ATA program that teaches Songahm taekwondo to be specific.“

“I’ve been going to Hopkins NK for a while now and it’s really engaging. The instructors are a great combination of nice and critical.“

“I love everything about this place! Dr. Kristi and Coach Merrick's nutrigenomics testing has empowered me to understand my genes and customize my diet and lifestyle according to my unique genetic blueprint. No more trying fad diets and random workout plans - now I know exactly what I need for life. Well worth the investment!“

“National karate has a great karate program that is open to all ages and abilities. One thing that has been great for our family is the way Mr. Hill supports each karate student's individual goals. We could not be happier with the high quality of instruction from all of the Eden Prairie instructors.“

“The skills taught where not only the techniques of karate, but life skills that carry on in a persons life . My daughter Kyra, started her karate career at 5 earning her black belt when she was 12. Here brother Chris started at age 10 and received his 3 degree BB his senior year in HS. To this day, both use the skills taught in there daily life, how they approach tough situations, remembering the difference between a white belt and a black belt, is the black belt didn't quit, even when things got tough.Through the course of her athletic career I firmly believe the teaching Kyra received in the early years at AKS, gave her skills most girls did not have. Kyra has become a star Volley Ball player here in CA grabbing the attention of the University of Wisconsin Rowing coach.... yes rowing.( interesting story) Kyra's physical attributes, speed, strength and agility have given her an athletic Scholarship to U of Wisconsin , Madison.The core of who Kyra and Chris are that has help them succeed came from all the years AKS and Mr Marotta.“

“I have been going to Dojo Karate for a year and a half with my six year old grandson and have enjoyed it. Learning Karate and great exercise. All of the instructors are great!“
