Martial Arts Schools near Cheshire

“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!“

“My daughter has been coming here for 6 months now and she loves it so much more than I ever thought possible! I believe its because of the dedication and passion of every teacher here. They truly love what they do and care about every single child! I am beyond happy that we decided to try out a class! We love you LMA!!!“

“20/10 "Grand Master Pereira is the rare find in the martial arts world: a true master who maintains the 'white belt' spirit. He is an incredible instructor and martial artist, but an even better human being. What sets him apart is his dedication to evolution. He doesn't just stick to Tang Soo Do; he constantly trains in various arts to ensure his students receive the most comprehensive and modern instruction possible. Despite his rank, his humility is unmatched—he has attended multiple workshops of mine as a student, proving he’s always looking to grow. Beyond the mats, his generosity is legendary. When I opened my new dojo, he personally donated 30 puzzle mats to help us get started. If you are looking for a mentor who leads by example, look no further than Grand Master Pereira."“

“Coach Mike is great with kids and adults. This is a down to earth fighting gym. Nothing fancy. No gimmicks. Very fair prices.“

“Amazing experience at Villari’s Martial Arts in Southington!
The instructors are outstanding, and they really focus on teaching respect, discipline, and confidence. We’ve seen such great growth in my son, both in martial arts skills and everyday life. The classes are welcoming and well-run. Highly recommend!“

“The best karate school around. The staff is tremendous. They go above and beyond to make sure all the students succeed grow into great people. From special events like yardgost games, movies and parties they really do it all here.“

“There are many martial art schools out there to select from. I recommend 100% + Alex Ziwak Martial Arts. Why? Alex is a seven degree black belt and knows many other types of material art disciplines plus an expert in self defense. He is humble, down to earth type of guy. If you join you will definitely learn techniques and be in better shape in time. I had always a great experience there when I was younger but never forget my own comfortable techniques if ever needed. Martial Arts is all about respect for others and able to defend yourself when needed. Consider yourself lucky and blessed to learn under Alex.“

“Long standing history here at Beaudoin Academy. Many Masters in Tang Soo Do trained here.“

“Master Oh is the best! You can see and feel that he really cares for his students, especially young kids. Yes, he is tough but he is also caring at the same time. I've known Master Oh for the past 7 years or so and he is the same as the first day I met him. Look no further, if you live in the area, this is the best martial art school.“

“Awesome one on one with my little one. He had great patience and works well with kids.“

“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 teenage daughter and a group of her friends (tweens and teens) attended a two hour self defense class yesterday that taught amazing self awareness and defense skills. Tony, the instructor created a private class for us accommodating our busy schedule. It was creative and active and really drove the message home to the kids without terrifying them. It was such a great way to get the kids to realize they need to get their faces unglued from phones and have an awareness of their surroundings. I found Extreme Karate through a google search. We totally lucked out! Highly recommend this business for self defense classes.“
