Martial Arts Schools near Allendale

“Master Lee’s class is very good! My daughter was shy at the beginning but Master Lee was very patient and eventually my daughter was participating so well and she loved it!“

“This is a terrific school. The knowledgeable instructors create a positive, motivating environment for students to learn Taekwondo and develop their skills. They emphasize careful listening, respect, hard work, and humility. We value the way they relate to kids using compassion, humor, and age-appropriate methods yet consistently call on them to focus and follow rules.“

“My son Vivaansh goes here. We are so delighted to see the difference how my kiddo has grown in focus and confidence. The Masters and instructors are amazing.“

“Teacher and staff are excellent! My son has so much fun and is learning how to stick up for himself in the process.

10/10 would recommend if you’re considering karate for your little one!“

“I absolutely love coming to this school. I came here 6 years ago with the goal of wanting to learn self-defense with absolutely no prior athletic experience. I was welcomed with open arms by the staff and students, who were so kind and patient while working with me. I’m so happy I stayed and continue to practice my skills. The community here feels like family and I have made long lasting friendships here. If you are an adult who needs to find a healthy “third space” Renzo Gracie Rockland is the place to be!
Also, the owners, Omar and Arelis Jimenez are amazing people. They really care for all their students and want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe in the environment. Safety is very important in this school.“

“Rigoro gym is truly the best. The instructors are all phenomenal and beyond helpful. This gym wants you to be successful. There is a great community of people, I have made some good friends along the way. Such a great experience! If anyone is looking for a good gym this would be the one!!!“

“Instruction and emphasis on fundamental techniques is top-notch here. Definitely a great place to begin your Jiu-Jitsu journey.“

“This is the best gym I've ever been a part of, and I've trained in martial arts for years. The staff is incredible and my son has gained a ton of confidence from being here.“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about NY United BJJ. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, supported, and part of a community that truly cares. The instructors are not only highly skilled in Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling, but also deeply compassionate and patient, creating an environment where every child, regardless of ability, can thrive.

What makes this facility truly special is its commitment to inclusivity. My son is on the spectrum and the instructors, (all fathers themselves), have been nothing short of amazing. The instructors understand that every child learns differently and tailor their approach to build confidence, discipline, and resilience at a pace that suits each individual. Watching my child gain strength, focus, and self-confidence has been the most rewarding and I'm forever grateful to Khyl, Marty and Al for helping my son develop these attributes.

Beyond the skills learned on the mat, NY United BJJ teaches invaluable life lessons of respect, perseverance, and gratitude. It’s a place where kids feel seen, encouraged, and celebrated for who they are. If you’re looking for a Jiu-Jitsu school that nurtures both skill and heart, this is the place to be.“

“Highly recommend this place for all parents who want their children to gain self confidence, discipline overall respect for others…

Love it….“

“They taught me many life skills that I never knew I needed till I joined. The trainers are very helpful and always lead by example. I would recommend to everyone.“

“I have had the pleasure of bringing my son to Kim’s Martial Arts for the past five years, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. This outstanding school has not only equipped him with self-defense skills but has also instilled in him essential life lessons, such as emotional control, discipline, and perseverance.

The teachings at Kim’s Martial Arts go beyond physical training; they empower children to view challenges as opportunities for growth. My son now approaches problems with courage and confidence, all while embodying humility and kindness.

I wholeheartedly recommend Master Kim’s Dojo. Master Paul and the other instructors exemplify grace, kindness, and patience in their teaching methods, nurturing the students into remarkable young adults. The impact of their guidance is profound and lasting.

If you’re considering a martial arts school for your child, look no further than Kim’s Martial Arts!“

“This comment is long overdue, but I just wanted to come on here and say that this studio is in a great location for us in town and of course that Master Jerry is wonderful! My child althought he likes to goof around has learned respect, boundaries and discipline here. Master Jerry is so good with kids, he is strict, but playful and the kids feel safe and eager to learn with him. We really enjoy coming in for classes, soon our daughter will be joining the studio as well. We highly recommend this studio.“

“What a phenomenal place! My daughter absolutely loves her classes with Master Kim and Master Abe. Highly recommended. ??“

“I attended this martial art’s school when I was around 8 up until I was 18 and left for college. Im currently 29, and what I learned shaped my confidence, mindset, and physical well-being for my entire life.

This martial arts school does so much more than just teach you how to kick or punch. It teaches you how to carry yourself, how to treat others, and how to be aware of those around you. Most importantly though, it gives you the confidence to know that you can protect the people you love if you ever need to.

I would really encourage any parent out there to sign their child up for this school. I haven’t attended a class in nearly 10 years, but I still remember what I learned, and the Sensei that guided me during my time there.“

“Tiger Schulman’s in Ramsey is the best, top notch Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing classes for kids!! We have both our kids (ages 9 and 5) enrolled for over 2 years and we have nothing but great things to say!! Ryan and Andrew are both amazing instructors and Sensei Rapoport runs a great program. Highly highly recommend!!“

“If you're thinking about taekwondo for your child, do it here. Master Joe is excellent with kids of all types; he helped bring out my quiet child's voice, and helped my bold child learn focus. They are both showing a greater understanding of the martial arts values like humility and perseverance, at home too. The lessons they learn here (physical and emotional) have literally helped me parent them through some kid-sized life difficulties! It’s clear Master Joe truly cares about each student. He is even a thoughtful teacher to the older kids / student teachers he is developing along the way.“

“I have been involved in the martial arts for 30 years and Mr. Clifford is one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure to learn from. His depth of martial arts knowledge and his teaching methodology are incredible. Highly recommended!“

“The best place for martial arts training.
Thanks Sensei Yuri you're amazing“

“Tony was a fantastic instructor for our real estate defense course. Gave us practical moves to protect ourselves in tricky situations. Highly recommend.“

“Master Moon is one in a million. He has a unique ability to engage children in ways that allow them to develop skills that will last a lifetime, all the while the kids feel like they're just being kids having fun. It's great watching my 4 year old daughter practice here. I couldn't recommend this school more.“

“My son is obsessed with going to Karate every week! I would highly recommend checking this place out.“

“Erick Tavares is an outstanding coach. He clearly has the knowledge and experience. When I tried out his class for the first time I was very nervous, but Erick along with the other professors are very welcoming and kind. They're willing to take the time to teach beginners like myself. If anyone wants to learn good quality jiu jitsu from a trained professional, this is definitely the place.“

“Me and my kids love it, teach valuable lessons, including responsibility, attention, respect, perseverance and the most important think, how to defend them self!“

“Honestly couldn’t be better the kids. Expects the same from each student; listening, building confidence. My daughter absolutely loves Grand Master Cha. My son has been asking to join.“

“The most kind and professional sensai I have met for both my children and myself. Highly recommend, your children will learn self confidence, respect, and responsibility.“
