Martial Arts Schools in Raleigh

“KMR has great instructors, students, and is a very supportive community! I have been a member for a year now but have taken several breaks because of conflicts in my own personal schedule. Staff is very supportive in helping you achieve your own personal goals, as well as push you further than you think you can go, with consideration to safety of course.

Whether you are just a beginner or a full fledged Krav badass, this is the place for you! No matter the skill level, everyone at this studio is there to help.

The owner, Ken, is very down to earth, witty, and is always there to answer questions and help to you achieve your goals.

As a local business owner myself, I could not recommend KMR more!“

“Sensei Weinberger and his staff are amazing! My son is always excited to go to his lessons. We love the positive messages and leadership building that Sensei infuses into his teaching. It is evident that karate education is his passion. We are excited for the physical and mental growth our son will gain from his training. Thank you!“

“My daughter started here last fall and it's been amazing for her confidence. The instructors really care about the kids and make learning fun. She's made friends and looks forward to every class. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a supportive martial arts school in Raleigh.“

“I visited Bushido Dojo when I took a women's self-defense class here with some classmates and had an amazing experience! The class was open to all and entirely welcoming for a newbie. All of the staff was so friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back for regular classes or more self-defense in the future!“

“I can't image that there is a better martial arts school for families of all ages“

“Billy and Patches have an amazing academy! Very clean, professional, welcoming and high quality instruction.“

“My son started Karate about three years ago at a different dojo, and we switched to Triangle's Best Karate in June this year. It has been only a few months, but we can see a big improvement in him. We joined their competition team, which is excellent for my son to build his confidence. All the senseis in the dojo are very professional. They are serious about what they are doing and know what they are doing. I highly recommend it!“

“I began martial arts training at Red Sun Academy in July 2024. When I started, I was a complete beginner, so I took private lessons to get personalized instruction. Nowadays, I do a mix of private and group classes, and I love them both. The school is a welcoming place with a strong sense of community, and the student body is a mixed bag of people, with some students as young as eight and others well into their 60s. No two classes are the same. Each session is different and always includes attention to each skill set and individual experience level. Whether you're a black belt or just starting, you'll get a lot out of every class. The instructor, Sensei Amy, has a broad teaching style that draws from a few different martial arts, including Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do, and Tai Chi. The instructor and assistants are great people, so you'll enjoy spending time with them, whether in private or group lessons. If you want to do martial arts, Red Sun is a great place to do it.“

“We held our son's 5th birthday party this past weekend and from start to finish had an amazing experience!! We opted for the Blue package, basically everything prepped by eNeRGy Kidz, and it was the way to go! Shout out to Leanne Adams who responded to all of my queries promptly and the staff who were on hand to help with leading everything on the day. Every kid of all ages were engaged and had a blast!!“

“This dojo does more than train the body! It is a community that fosters togetherness, engages all ages and stretches students to be responsible both on and off the mat. The instructors are well trained and the tournaments are an experience everyone should have. I highly recommend training with Marvin Saint-Cyr and being the whole family!“

“Trained under Sifu Widmar and senior instructors for afew years and was a life changing experience! Great physical skill sets and discipline learned. Best martial art instructor(s) around.“
