Martial Arts Schools near Bethany

“Excellent instructor and facility. Learn a traditional martial art from an instructor who is dedicated to his students.“

“Rick and the entire Leadership Martial Arts team has been amazing from the start. I have two girls now 9 and 11 and they both have been thriving for over two years! It’s been amazing to see the transformation in their confidence, ability, and leadership. They really are “developing the leaders of tomorrow” with their focus on character, discipline, hard work, and leadership. My kids continue to love it. It has really become part of them. They have gotten stronger and more confident, but the best part is that they are also becoming better humans. Thank you Rick!“

“No need to look elsewhere other than World Champion Taekwondo. This taekwondo school has stood the test of time. My two kids started at age 7. One just left for college, twelve years later, and the other remains a current student at 15 years old. Master Kim, Master Heny, Master Shin, and Master Greg, along with all the other coaches and instructors are top notch - creating and cultivating a positive environment instilling values of respect, kindness and good sportsmanship, discipline and grit. Coaches make taekwondo fun, balanced with encouragement to challenge yourself to train hard and try your personal best. One of my kids was on the competitive circuit and the other is doing taekwondo for exercise and good health. Both kids thrived under these excellent coaches and instructors as not only do they care about training, but good character development too. Thank you WCT!“

“My daughter started in July and absolutely loves JC Karate!! Master JC is so special and has an incredible way of making learning and personal growth fun! The other instructions we have had the pleasure of working with are also great and bring their own added value to my child’s practice. The monthly “homework” is a great way to bring conversation surrounding the values that the students are taught in karate into the home. I have loved having these thoughtful conversations with my daughter and now having mutually shared language to bring/reinforce these awesome values into our home. My daughter also has a new found sense of confidence and sense of belongingness, which is invaluable! We cannot recommend JC Karate enough!“

“Junior and senior are great! My daughter loves it there. I love how they expect everyone to do their best. No excuses. Extremely reasonably priced!“

“Just had the pleasure of speaking to my good friend Master Ziwak this past Friday. Both my daughter and I had the absolute privilege of training with him back from 1998 and 2001 before we moved out of state. Although both involved in martial arts since moving, we definitely would not have progressed the way we have, either in martial arts or our lives, without the amazing instruction and inspiration that Master Ziwak provided to us. He was the foundation! More importantly, this human being has had such an incredible impact on the lives of so many people. Bravo! Well done friend!“

“Both Jane Doe No More and the self-defense classes are an unparalleled combination of common sense (that is not so common), strength, conditioning and confidence building. Drew & his team are smart and engaging confidence builders, they make you feel safe, empowered and most importantly, they educate you. You feel a level of readiness that you did not know you needed.“

“Beaudoin Academy of Karate in Waterbury, CT, is an outstanding place for anyone looking to improve their martial arts skills. Led by experienced instructors Anthony Bracco and Daniel Farrelly, the academy offers a structured and encouraging atmosphere where students thrive. Whether you're a beginner or advanced practitioner, the classes are both challenging and supportive. The focus on technique, respect, and perseverance makes this school a great choice for families and individuals alike. Highly recommend for anyone serious about learning karate!“

“What are you looking for in a martial arts school? If you're like me, you want a place that teaches discipline, respect, and control (emotional, physical, spiritual). The master belts at this dojang (dojo) teach all of the above, in a nurturing environment of camaraderie and friendship. My son (black belt, first dan) and daughter (green belt) have both found a comfortable place of mutual respect and discipline, while also learning to do amazing feats of physical prowess. For anyone even curious about the Tang Soo Do (karate-do) way of life, I highly recommend you give USA MA Naugatuck a try.“

“My daughter is a student here and she loves it. Instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and great with children.“

“Great vibe, dedicated instructors, meaningful teachings and an incredible workout. If you don't leave drenched and rejuvenated, you're doing it wrong.“

“One of the best Grand Masters with passionate masters! Very family friendly classes!!!“

“My kiddo loves her Sensei, and looks forward to Aikido more than anything else on the schedule! It's a wonderful learning environment, fun, and terrific for her self-esteem!“

“Amazing Hapkido school. Master Gary teaches old school Hapkido based on Daito-ryu. Hapkido is THE martial art for anybody. Such a family friendly and welcoming atmosphere.“

“This place is great to learn self control discipline and most of all confidence. I have a disability with my legs that in the near future may cripple me for life since I've became a student I've noticed a bit more balance and my self-esteem has boosted up a notch. Each one teach one is the idea but brotherhood is a must everyone is equal and learns on there own pace Sensei has my respect and admiration.“

“Everything, The Tang Soo Do Mi Guk Kwan hs everything a person would want in a marital arts and self-defense, it's not just another Association or Organization, it's Family,once your Tang Soo Do Mi Gu Kwan your always Tang Soo Do Mi Guk Kwan.“
