Martial Arts Schools near Indian Trail

“It has been such a wonderful experience having our child attend Corey Family Martial Arts! We have attended every after school and summer camp since our son was old enough to attend. Brian, Christine and the staff are an amazing group of people!

The love, structure, knowledge and discipline are greatly appreciated. Communication, transparency and working with the UCPS on scheduling is top notch. They give the kids tools to succeed. Would absolutely recommend!

Summer Camp is filled with daily activities and not to mention the special events they have for parents! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“You are paying for total immunity from the terrifying realities of modern grappling. They do not allow leglocks here, if someone touches your foot and you feel uncomfortable for ANY reason, they will be arrested on the spot. I love it. They help me feel like a ninja with no risk!“

“My son has been going to Karate Charlotte for over a year now and he truly loves it! I’ve seen a tremendous increase in my son’s confidence, discipline, focus, and respect since he started training here. The instructors do an excellent job of challenging students while creating a positive and encouraging environment where everyone feels supported.

I highly recommend KC to any parent looking for a program that helps children develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. We are grateful to be part of such a wonderful karate family!“

“What a great place to train Coach Sean teaches with a passion. The staff is very welcoming with everyone that walks in.“

“My son loves going to Reeds! He has made friends and gets to do all kinds of activities each day! There are optional classes you can enroll in as well. My son loves the counselors too. Its overall a positive atmosphere and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a camp or after school activity!“

“My 4 kids love! The instructors are amazing, patient, and keep all ages levels engaged.“

“Nick St. Clair’s taekwondo studio is an incredible asset to the community. His instruction goes far beyond physical training—he emphasizes self-discipline, personal awareness, and practical self-defense in a way that truly resonates with students of all ages. What stands out most is his ability to tailor both teaching style and expectations to each age group, modeling appropriate behaviors and skills every step of the way. The environment is welcoming, engaging, and consistently encouraging. It’s clear this small, locally owned studio is built on passion, integrity, and a genuine commitment to student growth.“

“My teenager daughter and I have been taking Aikido classes here for about a couple of months now. I was looking for an activity to do with my daughter and this is a great way to spend time with her, build self-confidence, and train for self-defense. The sensei is great and provides one-on-one instruction.“

“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!“

“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!)“

“Great place, great instructors, worthwhile training. Somewhat pricey as extracurriculars go, but worth it. They also have an amazing scholarship program if affordability is an issue“

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

“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 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“

“Fantastic experience! My son has been going for quite a while and has grown in disciple, confidence, self-control, as well as physical fitness. Their staff of highly qualified instructors make every child feel special and are great role models. It always feels like a big family between the instructors, students, and even the parents. I would highly recommend Karate Charlotte to anyone interested in enrolling their child in a karate class.“

“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'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!“
