Martial Arts Schools in Wilmington

“Elevated Studios is an amazing place to train! The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone — from beginners to advanced students. The kids’ program does a fantastic job building not only martial arts skills but also confidence, discipline, and respect.

I also love how inclusive the academy is, especially with their women’s program, which provides a really empowering and encouraging community. The number of black belts on the mats speaks for itself — you’re always learning from experienced mentors.

If you’re looking for a school that truly cares about its students and helps both kids and adults grow on and off the mats, I highly recommend Elevated Studios!“

“I’ve dropped in here for open mats on a few occasions while visiting my girlfriend’s parents. The owner Steve was super cool and welcoming. Everyone who was there training was very nice as well. Overall, I’ve only had awesome experiences and will definitely continue to drop in whenever I’m in Wilmington.“

“My daughter has been going to this studio for a little under a year and her confidence has skyrocketed. She’s shy by nature, but this studio really helped her come out of her shell and she is thriving!!! Mr. Josh is incredible at what he does and ensures that every student feels involved. The studio is extremely clean and well maintained as well, which was one of my main concerns when I was looking for karate classes for my daughter.“

“Master Godwin is a legend! The classes here at KMAI teach focus and discipline, all while building your confidence! Plus it's fun! I would highly recommend anyone interested to give it a try.“

“Excellent gym; everyome seemed competitive with a good attitude. The instructor did a really good job breaking down techniques.“

“Love this karate school! There is total harmony in how they teach kids about responsibility, respect, self control and the physical aspects of karate. The teachers are well informed on child development and incorporate exercises that cross the midline and build core strength through games. The schedule is helpful to make sure you get your money's worth on classes and flexible so you can work it in around other activities. Everything about the school's structure is meant to support kids growth and make it easy for their families.“
