Martial Arts Schools near Naugatuck

“My granddaughter started at Sokol’s Taekwondo in the beginning of January. She has made amazing progress in such a short period of time. I see, rising self-confidence, increased body awareness and control, improved self-discipline, and longer sustained attention. Mr. Sokol is firm yet supportive. He expects respect for the instructor, fellow students, the dojo, and the martial arts while providing a fun experience for all. My granddaughter loves everything about this school. She recently earned a stripe for her belt and said, “ I am so proud of myself”. Thank you Mr. Sokol.“

“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.“

“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."“

“Great gym and great teachers. All the staff and students are friendly and you feel like family immediately. My daughter takes the kids BJJ class and she loves it. I myself have trained and shopped around at multiple gyms from MMA to BJJ and I've never felt more at home than at CT combat. I just have to add that the teachers for the kids class are great with kids. Helping not only with self defense but the kids are learning real life characteristics to bring home and to school like teamwork, respect and responsibility. Not only that the kids are having a lot of fun. Check this gym out and you won't be disappointed!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My son just started at the Charland Institute this year and he absolutely LOVES it! The instructors are amazing, patient, and they serve as great role models to our community's children. They are well-organized and supportive. We're so glad to have jumped in!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent program for young kids. They do a great job at keeping them focused and learning.“
