Martial Arts Schools near Cary

“My 7yr old son is an only child. He was often bullied, not knowing how to respond, having very little conflict in his life.

Lee’s Martial Arts has given him the confidence he needs in order to face life’s problems head on. He now approaches problems with the skills necessary to navigate life’s ups and downs.

Grand Master Lee cares about his students and their parents. He, along with Master Ken, are pillars of this community.

Parents: sign your kids up for this school as soon as possible. They are excellent examples of the idea that “ It takes a village.”“

“My kids could not be happier here. They have fun, challenge themselves, and gain new bonds. Thank you for everything, LZFMA Team!“

“I highly recommend Tiger Koo's to anybody who will listen. The amount that my child has learned and the difference in his confidence and behaviors at home in just the last two months of being there is off the charts! Master Maya and Master Joshua run amazing, disciplined and energetic classes for the kids to train and learn. It is such a healthy and balanced environment. My son spent years in another program, and I wish I would have started at Tiger Koo's. Also, my children just enjoyed their birthday party here and it was amazing fun.“

“My son has been attending this taekwondo class for about three months and he really enjoys it. The instructors are all very kind and patient, and the class atmosphere is positive and encouraging. We’ve already seen improvements in his confidence and focus. Overall, a great experience so far.“

“The instructors at Tiger Academy are professional, experienced, and trustworthy. Our daughter is learning life lessons that have helped her with discipline, confidence, self control. We couldn’t be happier!“

“I was in town from Spain visiting family, and Jeff’s team made me feel at home from the first moment. Amazing atmosphere! Gracias ?“

“Barrington Martial Arts is a fantastic place for all ages to train. The friendly staff creates a welcoming atmosphere, and everyone feels like family. The instructors are excellent role models, especially for my kids.“

“Chuck and the rest of the team make beginners feel very welcome. Clean environment, good turnout at the classes, and Chuck makes the instruction very digestible no matter what level of experience you have. Would highly recommend for anyone on the fence about joining a martial arts gym.“

“Coach Kyle and the Striking Arts team offer great instruction and coaching for fighters of all levels. Whether you’re a fighter interested in competing or someone looking for a great workout, Striking Arts is for you. In addition to training kickboxing or learning self defense, the Striking Arts community truly makes each member feel like part of a team.“

“Update: I wrote my review prior to reading the other reviews. I have to say that I am shocked by the couple of negative reviews regarding FOCUS and NISRA. (And no-we are not getting a kickback for a favorable review-that is ridiculous.) We were on a waitlist through NISRA for a while before a spot opened up for our son. We were bummed, but understood that both entities needed to ensure that it was properly staffed for the number of participants. We attend each week with our son, and as stated below, could not be happier with the inclusive mindset of FOCUS. I also want to note that the NISRA volunteers work hard to get everyone to participate. We have never seen anyone left out. They are well staffed and highly qualified. Participants all work at their own level, but if a child is not participating, it is not for lack of trying on either end. Not all kids enjoy all activities and perhaps the child did not want to participate. We have recently moved to this area and could not be more pleased with the organization, cooperation and communication from NISRA. Everyone is human and mistakes can happen, but both organizations would likely be very happy to hear concerns in a constructive way. If you are considering NISRA or FOCUS, I highly recommend!

We have a son with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome who takes karate at Focus Martial Arts through NISRA. We cannot say enough about this amazing program. The owners and the instructors are among the most inclusive and welcoming people I have ever met. They genuinely care about kids and their progress. They break down concepts and skills so that our son understands, but they have high expectations for his growth. Our son has made improvements in karate, behavior, focus and school because of their leadership. We are so grateful and highly recommend!“

“Best place ever! Amazing programs, great prices and I always come back for the people.“

“I take the ladies only Boot Camp taught by Latasha and she truly is one of the most inspiring and motivating women I’ve ever met! She always pushes me to be the best that I can and I’m so lucky to have a coach/friend like her!!“

“Michelle is the best Acupunturist I have ever been to. I saw her several years ago for a messed up knee. She solved my issues in no time. I've been suffering with a lot of inflammation and all-over pain. I couldn't find her. Turns out she changed locations. I went for my first visit today and she spent a long time listening to what had been going on in my life since my last visit. A lot of physical and emotional problems. After this initial treatment I feel better already and we think I might only need a weekly treatment for a while. I am so glad I found her. I think I'm going to join her Quigong (sp?) sessions via Zoom. She has helped me physically and emotionally. She's at 380 N. Terra Cotta Rd., Ste. J, Crystal Lake.“

“These guys are doing what no one else is doing. Amazing and practical real life technique to take an attacker out quickly“
