Martial Arts Schools near Indian Trail

“Corey Family Martial Arts has been an incredible experience for our daughter, helping her grow in strength, skill, and confidence. The program provides a perfect balance of discipline and fun, allowing her to develop martial arts techniques while also gaining valuable life skills. She has made wonderful friendships along the way, and the supportive atmosphere encourages teamwork and respect. Beyond the physical training, the structured environment ensures that students stay on top of their responsibilities with time for homework and reading too.

The staff at Corey Family Martial Arts goes above and beyond in communication, program planning (both for students and adults!), and fostering a positive experience for every child. They create a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment where students feel supported and motivated to do their best. Their dedication to each student’s growth—both inside and outside of martial arts—is evident, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the impact they’ve had on our daughter’s development. Thank you CFMA!!“

“Lucas is an amazing professor and world champion!! By far one of the best. Great place to learn jiu jitsu“

“Daughter loves the after school program and karate; nothing but positive things to say.“

“Mr StClair is a fantastic treacher. You can really tell that he is passionate about helping kids be better versions of themselves by learning the confidence and integrity that comes from learning martial arts.“

“5 star review for Achieve, the best instructors. Positive approach with kids, amazingly taught my rowdy 3 year old focus and structure. Master Brandon is my kids favorite instructor and mimicks him at home. Master Bryan impressively commands attention from a room full of preschoolers. My husband and also take classes and coach Terrence does a great job sweating us out. A healthy family pass time. Thank you to all instructors and coaches at Achieve.“

“Excellent choice for your child. Our daughter has gone here for 6 years now and we are very happy with the results.“

“Great team, very professional, respectful and compassionate. They teach respect and self confidence to help our kids excel in every aspect of life!“

“Professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff! I was nervous to take a class by myself but they made me feel right at home! Spotless locker rooms!“

“I took a self defense class with 10 of my friends and I highly recommend! We had such a fun time, but also learned a lot too. It was empowering to discuss and practice tools of defense and ways we as women can be more aware of our surroundings and how to act in a threatening situation if needed. It’s definitely a class to take multiple times to learn more each time and to be confident in implementing skills we learned. Good instructors, good teaching, good times! Thanks Aikido!“

“This is a wonderful authentic Martial Arts school. From the moment I took the trial lesson I knew I was in the right place. It was exactly what I was looking for. A school with a passionate teacher (Sifu David) that passes on his valuable knowledge in a compassionate, individualized manner, adjusted to each student's level, strengths and weaknesses. A great leader that inspires you to strive to reach your goals and gets the best out of you. The students are welcoming and very helpful. They share their knowledge as well and support you in your path. It's a wonderful community. The perfect place to learn Tai Chi and Kung Fu from a body, mind and spirit perspective. Highly recommended!“

“I am a Black Belt at US Tae Kwon Do Colony Place. It is a great place if you want your children to learn valuable qualities such as honesty, integrity, and perseverance. Even the parents can join too for a fun experience with their children and also to learn basic self defense. The kids are very nice and helpful and Master James is very kind and helpful as well. You will learn how to stronger, smarter and know how to get out of tough situations if needed. The classes mix in fun games with tough training and knowledge. Overall this is one of the best businesses I have ever participated in. This is a fun and awesome place and I highly recommend it to any parents looking for extracurricular activities for their child.2nd Dan Black Belt“

“Our now 10 year old child signed-up with Master Wilson’s studio just after their 5th birthday. Though we moved out of Charlotte after 2 years, we continued to make the drive twice weekly. FOR 3 YEARS!! Sadly, this year, with our schedules filling-up, we had to say “farewell” as the commute became difficult for us.Master Wilson and his instructors were a great pleasure to work with - as both mentors and friends. Our hope is that we find a studio like this in our area. (Still searching!)“

“If you’re looking for a self defense class that will teach you the very practical skills to defending yourself in real life scenarios this is the perfect spot! Sensai Louis is great! He teaches you the skills you need all while getting a good workout in! Check it out“

“I have been a student at two other taekwondo schools, but Han's Taekwondo and Dragon Championship are by far the best!! I wish my daughter and I started taking classes at Han's sooner... No other teacher has spent the time we needed to improve our skills like Master Lee and the instructors at Han's. Not only that, they are teaching in such a positive and constructive manner so they make you feel like you are a part of a larger family. They are masters of their craft and taekwondo athletes who work equally with every student to help them improve their skills. My daughter and I really enjoy taking classes at Han's!“

“I am impressed with the leadership, personal care to instruct,and over all character to improve ones self. This is a noble place.“

“My daughter has been coming here for almost 2 years. Mr. M is amazing with the kids and keeps them engaged! Classes are only 45 min and you can come as many times a week as you'd like! There is a trial period before the year commitment to see if your child really does enjoy it. I love the tools she is learning in life and he encourages positive behaviors in class but also at home and school. I would highly recommend this location to anyone. The only downside is the size of the dojo-we are outgrowing the building but hopefully a bigger location is in the future!!“

“I've been a student at Focus Martial Arts for almost three years now, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Sifu Ryan's mastery of Wing Tsum and attention to detail is what sets this school apart from others. He takes the time to ensure every student understands not just the 'how' but also the 'why' behind each technique. Hands down the best Wing Tsum school in Charlotte!“

“Appreciate how they deal with my children. My kids have a great time there and the leadership is very patient with the children.“
