Martial Arts Schools near Bloomfield Hills

“5 Stars doesn’t do this team justice. They are absolutely outstanding in every way, and do such a good job from day 1 to 1000.

From the second you walk in, you feel like family. Day in and day out Kyo Sa Nim Shruga and staff are positive, motivating, and fun. Young or old, you can expect the same level of care, attention, and encouragement as you advance. The passion they have for Tang Soo Do is apparent, and infectious.

To say they exceeded our expectations is an understatement. If you or your child is at all interested in Karate, I cannot recommend this PKSA location enough.“

“Troy Martial Arts is an amazing place to learn Taekwondo as an individual or together with your family.“

“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 is a great teacher!!! He’s so patient with the kids and instills confidence in them. We love WCIMA!“

“We have been attending WCIMA Livonia for 4 years, with two children starting in their Tiny Tigers and then Dragons program, and now in their Black Belt program. We truly feel like we are part of a community at WCIMA, in large part because of the way the WCIMA team support and celebrate each member. The instruction has been fantastic, with teachers maintaining high expectations for respect, dedication, and performance while also meeting the needs of different kiddos, including those who are neurodivergent or have physical/developmental delays. Instructors and older, more experienced students are patient and the student-instructor ratio really helps support progress. Our children have greatly benefitted from the discipline they've learned through WCIMA! Each promotion is celebrated as a WCIMA family through a ceremony and potluck; like the other family-oriented events held by the organization (e.g., holiday ugly ornament exchange, Halloween festival), these are great opportunities to get to know other families.

We have also held birthday parties for our children at WCIMA and I cannot recommend this option enough. The fee was extremely affordable for a large group of kids (up to 100 I believe) - much more cost effective than other large corporate play places. Instructors were on hand to teach a very interactive class, which included board breaking - something every kid seemed to enjoy and value. The instructors were incredible at 'corralling' a large group, and it was great to focus on exercise and fun instead of the overstimulation of some of the other birthday venues we considered. Highly recommend!“

“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! ?✨“

“Great school. Really recommend for small kids. They enjoy the class play and learn self defense.“

“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 has really taken our sons’ martial arts skills to the next level. They have developed an even greater passion under his instruction. He’s incredible at what he does and can’t recommend Inspire enough!“

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

“The instructors has the best way to teach the kids, and they learn a lot in every class. Recommend for any age! It's great for the body,and their mind as well!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If anyone is looking for a martial arts, karate studio, I highly recommend Core Fitness Martial Arts (CFMA). It’s an amazing school, phenomenal instructors, and great lessons for kids and adults to learn well beyond just martial arts. I’m always impressed with the ways in which they incorporate confidence, public speaking, fitness, and fun into lessons.“

“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.“
