Martial Arts Schools near Bloomfield Hills

“Absolutely love this place! I enrolled my daughter 7 weeks ago and watching her progression has been amazing!!! EVERY instructor is amazing in all of their own ways!!! Seeing how they reach out to each child individually and learn the child they are teaching is truly outstanding! Can’t wait to watch my daughter’s progression; ( as I can see how much she loves it! ) and get to know the PKSA family more as well!“

“Amazing place for my family to exercise, to have more self control, the learning experience of self defense under Master Trudeau is always positive, with discipline and encourange my kids and wife to keep working mind and body. Very happy to find Troy Martial Arts“

“My son started his free week trial and he is over the Moon ! Baz is very caring and we love the vibration of the studio !“

“My Grandson loves classes and can't wait to go. He's always asking, if he has karate today. The instructors make learning fun while maintaining discipline and focus. All the students enjoy themselves.“

“Master Norton along with other influential members are why I make sure to bring my son to class multiple times a week! This is a great choice if you are looking for something to sign up for. I see a long future with this institution, I would recommend.“

“I am so glad we signed my daughter up for the Black Belt program. It takes 4 years to get to Black Belt at WCIMA and if you've paid tuition those 4 years and have not reached black belt yet, you get to train for free until you do. This kept me coming. (It took my daughter 7 years because she had to really qualify for each rank.) I see a lot of students that struggle at times, but the patience and commitment of the dozens of black belts that teach or assist, makes the difference.“

“I’ve been training at the Douvris TaeKwon-Do Waterford location on Walton Blvd for the past two years, and it’s hands-down the most incredible martial arts experience I’ve ever had! Tucked right in the heart of Waterford Township, this spot has been a community staple for over 25 years, and you can feel that legacy the second you step through the doors—clean, spacious mats, top-notch equipment, and an energy that’s equal parts motivating and welcoming.
The instructors here are absolute legends: certified black belts who don’t just teach kicks and forms; they pour genuine passion into every class, making sure you build real skills in self-defense, discipline, and confidence. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned practitioner, their programs for kids (starting at age 4) and adults are tailored perfectly—no ego, just progress. I love the flexible scheduling that fits around my busy life, and the small class sizes mean you get that personal attention that keeps you coming back week after week.
Since joining, I’ve dropped stress like it’s my old uniform, gained killer core strength, and even improved my focus at work. It’s more than Taekwondo—it’s a family vibe that lifts you up. If you’re in Waterford or nearby, do yourself a favor and sign up for a free trial. Douvris isn’t just amazing; it’s life-changing. Highly recommend to everyone—grab your dobok and join the fun! ?✨“

“I cannot say enough.... It's the type of thing you don't understand until you experience it. 1)It truly is a free benefit to the community (at the time of this writing - 5/2024). 2)They do not push you to join their church. 3) It's not a free feel...There are some amazing classes/workouts with true trainers that will leave you gassed. 4) The interactions are priceless.

Interestingly I found this place first and ultimately I decided to visit to the church. Personally I LOVE EVERYTHING THEY REPRESENT. You decide what works for you but if it's a fitness journey, check the schedule and drop in.....I hope to meet you!“

“lol you know what I mean I don’t know what to say about that but I don’t know what you mean by“

“Master Carl is an amazing martial artist and all around good person. To be fully transparent, I currently study at a different, but associated school, but have trained with him on multiple occasions and know several of his students. He is an excellent teacher!“

“Best school in the country. Students are taught by Grand Master Willie Adams. He trains students of all ages.“

“I have gone here for several years and I just have so much appreciation for how much this place has developed my character and Sifu Brown is one of the best teachers you could ever ask for.“

“They are very good at teaching kids. And most of them are very nice six stars if I could.“

“I have found a martial arts home here. I started in 2011 and haven't stop training since, Sensei Holloway is one if not the best Instructor of Isshinryu Karate in all of Michigan. He is up there with all the great instructors in the US. I love this school.“

“I have done Shotokan Karate for many years in multiple states with various good instructors. In 2001-2002, I had the great opportunity and privilege to train at JSKA Michigan. This club offers the highest quality and standard of training and to say that Sensei Hunt is excellent, would be a great understatement.This school is truly a gem in martial arts, where mastery meets quality and respect. The environment is very friendly. Sensei Hunt is sincere and humble, always providing the finest level of detail that only a world class instructor can deliver. His work ethic is exemplary. This is the real deal for serious students of karate, where they can grow exponentially. Over the years, the club has produced top karate practitioners.My whole family would be training with Sensei if I was local and many of the students do just this, which in itself is a true compliment for the school and Sensei Hunt. .My only regret is that I had to move out of the state and could no longer train with Sensei Hunt, until re-joining the club again during the COVID era for Zoom classes.I sincerely cannot say enough good words for Sensei Hunt an his karate school.“
