Martial Arts Schools in Raleigh

“Such an awesome self defense class!! So grateful for everyone being so wonderful and welcoming!!“

“I've had a great experience at Karate International of West Raleigh. The instruction is excellent, and Mr. Weinberger is an outstanding coach. He is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about helping every student improve, no matter their skill level.

The school has a positive and welcoming atmosphere, and the classes are both challenging and fun. I've gained confidence, discipline, and improved my karate skills thanks to the training here. I highly recommend Karate International of West Raleigh to anyone looking for high-quality martial arts instruction.“

“Lee Brothers has been such a positive experience for our family! Even though it wasn’t the original plan (we were only going to enroll our kids), we wouldn’t have it any other way. We enjoy the community and going together as a family. The instructors are not only highly skilled, but extremely friendly and willing to work with you whenever something is tough (or not tough!). Highly recommend! It’s so fun and rewarding!“

“This place is perfect for kids. The discipline, the exercise, the fun and the leadership of sensei is top notch. Highly recommended!“

“One of the nicest academies I've been to. Some of the best instruction out there.“

“Pecks Taekwondo is an amazing place to train. They are always welcoming and have a great atmosphere. The number of high level instructors who genuinely care and want to push you to improve is unmatched“

“We drove 3 hours to see our Grandson's final Ninja Flips celebration session! Worth every mile to see the smile on his face and discipline he has learned already! JJ Yu--Robinson has incredible patience and his approach is so developmentally appropriate for these young learners!“

“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.“
