Martial Arts Schools in Newark

“I am associated with Aikido since 27 years and trained with different school of Aikido. But being associated with Shihan Okimura and ADA family since10 years is an experience beyond words. This school or Shihan's style of aikido is to compliment our earthly existence. Unlike any other Dojo you will not be exhausted physically but yes the impression these classes conducted by Soofie Sensei and Shihan would make you think for months or years for that matter. Perhaps this is the effect of sooo profound teaching or imparting the true essence of "The Art of Aikido" which Shihan and Sensei does pretty well.My request to each reader of this review is to be part of this Dojo at least once. You may enter this place with all your worries but may come out of no worries. This experience must be experienced. Words are not enough to describe this feeling. Teaching A Martial Art with Humor and such kindness, personal care this is UNIQUE.“

“I encourage all parents with very active children to consider karate. Especially, American Karate Studios. Now, I'm not saying they are the best, cause there are so many karate schools out there and being the best is subjective based on experience, cost and atmosphere. My son has been going here since he was 4 and to see him focus his energy, build confidence and discipline is a great joy as a parent. Plus all the friends he has made has really helped his self esteem. The only reason I haven't given them a five is because I have no other karate school to compare them too, and honestly it takes a lot for me to give a 5 star for anything ?.“

“I wanted to get started on the martial arts journey, and Delaware Dragons has been the best decision I have ever made! I’ve been learning so much from Sean and Becca, and I highly suggest that if you want to try martial arts, please join them, you won’t regret it!“

“My son loves this place. The owner is amazing. Great place for camp. Great place for before and after care.“

“I just want to take a moment to truly thank The Sachetti’s. Dauntless Chief Instructor Allen J. Sachetti who is a 4th degree BJJ black Belt (certified by Rickson Gracie, Royler Gracie & Luiz Palhares. He has been so supportive and down to earth I’m am thankful for his kindness. I would have never thought of professional protection for my daughter until I meet my friend over 15 years ago, Maribeth Sachetti. She is Allen’s wife & a 2nd degree Brazilian Jui Jitsu black belt & the first female Black belt from the Philippines. Once my husband met Maribeth he also took a private class with Josh and loved it. My daughter, Juleah White, has been taught by Joshua Sachetti (1st degree black Belt) for close to 2 years and I want to thank you Josh from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve poured into my daughter through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Your dedication, patience, and passion mean more than words can express. You are more than just an instructor, you are a mentor and a role model. The way you teach, encourage, and believe in your students has helped shaped Juleah’s confidence, discipline, and strength, both on and off the mat.
And Caleb Sachetti (BJJ brown belt) , thank you for your continued support and commitment. Your presence and guidance have also played such an important role in her growth. Because of both of you, she is not only learning Jiu-Jitsu, Juleah is learning life skills, respect, and perseverance. That is something I will always be grateful for.
Thank you for investing in her and helping her become the best version of herself.“

“Our daughter has been at American Martial Arts Institute for 3 years now. Once a week for 30 minutes has made a real difference — listening skills, discipline, kindness, confidence/self-worth, and being comfortable in a group setting. The instructors are respectful and expect respect back, and they make it fun. Highly recommend.“
