Martial Arts Schools near Milpitas

“Trained here as a kid. Karate helped me garner lots of confidence in my middle school years. The senseis make an effort to make it worth your time and are great coaches.“

“Our daughter started classes here a few months ago and her experience has been great. She began attending the first 3-4 classes very timid and shy, only wanting to observe from a distance. During that time, all the instructors were very patient with her and she eventually stepped on the mat. Master Tyler, who leads the class, gave her the space and encouragement she needed to find confidence in herself. He is able to capture the students attention and get them to follow instructions (mind you these are 3-4 year olds). After a few classes, our daughter has since found courage to go up in front of the class and break the board. Both Masters Kaitlyn and Derek have also been vital in guiding in our daughter's growth on the mat. They pay close attention to all the students and help make sure they are using proper techniques. When form/stances are incorrect, they quickly notice and help fix it. They also encourage the students to speak up during class, which helps build their sense of voice. All the instructors thus far have been great working with us (and all the little students) and we appreciate them so much! We're excited to see our daughter continue developing her skills here, especially those she can carry off the mat.

The front staff are also very approachable and kind. This has made it easier for our daughter to warm up and get excited for the class. Overall, Blue Dragon and their team have been excellent to work with and we have no doubt they will continue to have a positive impact on daughter.“

“Coach Corey has been amazing in helping my son improve his listening skills and focus during class. His instructions are clear, consistent, and age-appropriate, and he is very patient with the kids. I’ve seen positive changes in my son’s attention and confidence. We truly appreciate Coach Corey’s effort and dedication.We couldn’t ask for a better coach.“

“Both My kids have been going to MAA for close to 10 years now, starting their journey as white belt members to now being CIT-instructors in training. Dedication to the art form is very visible in the teaching style that both Master T and Master Fong display in their class, there are multiple times when they have conducted extra sessions at no additional cost to ensure that all the concepts are perfectly embedded in the students. Going to this academy has not only ensured that my kids learned a very valuable life skill of protecting themselves but also taught them valuable skills of patience, perseverance and leadership to use in their life ahead“

“Exceed Taekwondo is an incredible place for both kids and adults! Master Jackson is truly one of a kind — knowledgeable, passionate, and fully dedicated to every student’s growth. Whether it’s kids’ Taekwondo or adult kickboxing, he brings so much energy, discipline, and encouragement to each class. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and loves what he does.

AJ is also amazing — always supportive, professional, and kind. Together, Master Jackson and AJ make an incredible team that creates a safe, motivating, and family-friendly environment.

The whole Exceed family is welcoming and supportive. This is more than just a martial arts school — it’s a place where kids grow, gain confidence, and learn from two of the best masters around. Highly recommended!“

“Our child has been attending CJ Judo for over 18 months, having started at age five, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Coach Chuck is a naturally gifted educator who strikes the perfect balance between being firm, kind, and genuinely caring. His classes run like a Swiss clock, structured, disciplined, and efficient, yet the kids absolutely love them and have a great time every session.

The dojo places a strong emphasis on competitions, which we truly appreciate. Coach Chuck is deeply involved in organizing and judging judo competitions, and his students regularly participate, gaining valuable experience both on and off the mat. For example, CJ Judo ranked the best academy in the 2025 San Jose Open, see results on smoothcomp.

We very much recommend CJ Judo to any family looking for a high-quality judo program. We’re also very grateful to the rest of the team at the dojo, especially Sensei Syria and Sensei Cori, for their dedication and support.“

Taekwon-Do has taught me discipline, hard work, and overcoming challenges. They are adaptable with lots of times to choose from. Overall, Mightyfist is a great place to work out, practice Taekwon-Do, and have fun!“

“Our child has been at Legend Kungfu Academy since age 4, and we’ve seen such amazing growth in confidence, strength, and discipline thanks to the patient and caring masters. They know how to motivate kids while teaching respect, focus, and perseverance in a positive, supportive environment. It’s more than just kung fu—it’s a place where children truly build character and self-belief, and we’re so grateful to be part of this community.“

“The dojo moved to the new location. The new address is2230 Quimby Rd Suite A, San Jose, CA 95122“

“From day one, the instructors and senior students created an environment that’s welcoming, respectful, and deeply rooted in tradition. Aikido is unlike any other martial art I’ve tried—it’s not about overpowering your opponent but learning how to redirect energy, stay centered, and respond with control. That mindset has carried over into other parts of my life in a big way.

The training here pushes you to grow, but never in a way that feels intimidating.

If you’re looking for a martial art that challenges your body and sharpens your mind, I can’t recommend Fremont Aikido enough.“

“Choi's is a great school and my 2 kids went there and my son did his black belt test there. The dedication of the teachers and discipline that they impart on the students by setting an example is very impressive.
My kids Taeguek forms have been impressive to watch and how they work on it to continuously improve. My kids have also attended competitions through the school and the support and encouragement Master Jennifer gives in that regard is truly appreciated.“

“Both of our kids were here for 10 months now. It's been an excellent experience! One of my kid has a learning difference and the master has been taking extra care for him.“

“I was a first degree black belt when I left this place but this place is the best in my opinion. I loved the teachers (master Leo and grandmaster Choi) there. It felt like a second home to me and I truly feel like I have become a better person than I started. It took a lot of perseverance because many people started to quit when it started getting tough, but if you simply keep her head high and strong you are going to power through it and make so many memories along the way. This place is an amazing place and I would 10/10 recommend going here.“

“Patrick is great! My son likes his class and keeps improving. He will continue to learn here.“

“Sensei Wayne Krill is awesome! He is so well-versed that just by watching your moves for few sessions he can infer specific body types and hence problems you might encounter while mastering various techniques.He comes with a clear agenda everyday and pushes everyone (according to their body types) in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming.I highly recommend this class if you are interested in learning Karate the traditional way.“

“West Coast Martial Arts is amazing it was my first day tody and I'm looking forward to going again“

“Great dojo to get your child with martial and self defense principles. Instructors are very attentive to minor details and truly care about students progress and achievements.“

“Love everything about this place! The coaches are phenomenal, they really push the kids to do their best with LOTS of positive motivation! The owner genuinely cares about the kids and offers assistance if needed! Highly recommended!!“
