Martial Arts Schools near Stratford

“Great sensei's! All three of them! They connect with their students, they disapline, they teach also the mind, great sportsmanship! They encourage, they hear out parents & help disapline, they are patient while the students are learning techniques, I love how serious they take their teachings, it shows the amount of respect of the teaching and what it stands for. They push for health body and mind, they help with self development, they look forward to seeing each person and are big on respect for self and others especially when training with each other. It's such a joy and excitement to watch them work, and their students, the way they move, how good they are and how serious they take it. I Love it! My little one loves it, it feels me with such happiness and joy to see her excitement and her taking it seriously and building her confidence.“

“Travis and Tom at Radius are both fantastic teachers. I'm pretty sure both have actual professional experience with kids outside of the gym. I have two little ones who are both very different humans. They take the kids Muay Thai class. Tom and Travis have helped both kids with their different needs (one with confidence and one with discipline). What they have learned in class has translated to the betterment of their home and school lives. My family is so grateful to have found their gym. I highly recommend anyone looking to get their children into any sort of martial arts to drop in for a class with Tom. Mauy Thai is (IMO) the most practical form of self defense and I 100% trust Tom and Travis with my kids. They have built a very positive, friendly, TEAM training environment at Radius.“

“We love having Master KJ come and teach our children! He is not only the best at teaching them taekwondo, he teaches respect, manners, kindness. We couldn’t ask for a better extracurricular activity for our preschool students.“

“All the coaches here are extremely knowledgeable and they really love teaching mixed martial arts. The environment is really supportive and you have a lot of fun in class. Out of all the gyms I’ve been a member of, this gym is by far the best!“

“Our family has been bringing our kids here for 12 years, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Not only have our children learned valuable Jiu-Jitsu skills, but they have also built lasting friendships and gained confidence both on and off the mats.

What truly sets this academy apart is the amazing people who run it. They are kind, welcoming, supportive, and genuinely care about every student who walks through the door. From day one, they made us feel like part of the family, and that feeling has never changed.

The positive environment, excellent instruction, and strong sense of community keep us coming back year after year. Our kids absolutely love being here, and we love knowing they are learning from such wonderful role models.

We highly recommend this academy to anyone looking for a place where their children can learn, grow, and be part of something special. It truly feels like one big family.“

“Amazing place for young and older kids. Master Jang and Ms. Su are wonderful instructors and throw the best birthday parties here as well!“

“I recently took a self-defense class with my daughter, and it was a truly empowering experience for both of us.

Juan and his wife Mari created a welcoming, supportive environment that made us look forward to each and every class.

Beyond just teaching practical skills, they offered invaluable advice on awareness, boundaries, and how to stay calm and focused in challenging situations.

By the end of the course, both my daughter and I walked away with a newfound sense of confidence. We are incredibly grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking to build both skill and self-assurance in a supportive and empowering setting.“

“I had the idea to organize a private couples lesson for/on Valentine’s Day at the dojo, and it was FABULOUS! Sensei Josh was extremely communicative and so, SO accommodating as we set everything up. He organized 90 minutes of bespoke, intro martial arts for two people who have zero experience. And we had total a blast! We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Thank you, SDSS Fairfield team!!!“

“Highly Recommended!
I've have a fantastic experience at PMAFA! Master P and all of the others instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to helping each student grow, both in skill and confidence. The classes are well-structured and welcoming to all ages and skill levels. My son Isaiah has gained discipline, fitness, and a second family here. This is the BEST decision we made joining this school. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to start or continue their martial arts journey. You will definitely feel welcome. Master P awesome job !!! To see all the students enjoying your school and all the activities that you do for the kids and the community. We are very proud to say we are a part of the PMAFA family.“

“We ve been at Master Song’s since my kids were 4 and 5. Master song and all the instructors are helpful, kind, and understanding. Honestly of all our kids activities over the years (too many to count!) master song’s has been the best experience for us. We love them“

“Everyone at Bushi Ban is amazing. They are all incredibly patient, kind, knowledgeable, talented and friendly. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!“

“They are great with the kids! They provide an environment to learn about life lessons. My son has become more focused, aware of his surroundings and developing leadership skills because of this program. Highly recommend enrolling your child. Great outlet!“
