Martial Arts Schools near Carteret

“Very beautiful place I take my child there since it is the only sport he likes and he is learning many things.“

“We love Dragon Kim’s Karate! So much fun in class! My son can’t wait to go every week.“

“I can't say enough great things about Karate USA! Master Kim is a wonderfully positive and motivating teacher. You can tell he loves what he does, and enjoys teaching each child to be the best they can be. He remembers all the kids names (when they are brand new he is remembering them quickly and they are always getting new or prospective students!). He is respectful of the groups, instilling discipline and respect, alongside practicing techniques to level them up with each belt. The staff is great at working with and acknowledging each child; they are just as positive and the overall atmosphere is energetic and fun!

The scheduling is flexible for the days to come in, to note. (They suggest one day in the beginning of the week Mon/Tues and then another day the end of the week Wed/Thur.)

My daughter joined in June, and she has loved going each week. It has helped her focus better in school and given her more confidence in her day to day interactions. I wish I had done it sooner!

I highly recommend Karate USA and Master Kim!“

“Our family highly recommends Master Curry. My daughter loves it!! We’ve never seen her so dedicated to anything before …other than her comic books :)“

“Such an amazing experience! Everyone is welcoming and knowledgable of their craft. Our son was extremely nervous and after his first day, he can’t wait to go back! 10/10 would recommend to everyone.“

“Tiger Schulmann’s Tottenville is amazing! Sensei Pace, Joshu Ricky, all our Sempai’s, and instructors are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about their students. Each instructor is highly respected by not only the parents, but by each and every student who attends classes there.

Classes are well-structured, welcoming, and focused on building confidence, discipline, and respect.

Tiger Schulmann’s Tottenville is more than just a martial arts school, it’s a place where your child will grow into the best version of themselves.

Highly recommend!!!“

“Great Instructors. Very knowledgable of what they teach. Excellent BBJ Classes and Instructors. Highly recommend for any age.“

“My son who is almost 5 has been in Satori for almost 2 years. He absolutely loves the instructors and going to karate. They make learning fun for the kids. He has learned to be more focused. As a parent, I appreciate the chats the instructors have with the kids during class to help them strengthen their minds and bodies by doing the right thing and eating healthy. I would highly recommend parents putting their kids in Satori.“

“This review is long overdue. Professor Mike and Rita, thank you for everything. Your kindness, guidance, and dedication gave me the skills and foundation to become a successful MMA fighter — including winning a championship belt. I still think about the academy and training there often. Even though I’ve moved to New Jersey, I’ll always be grateful for what you gave me on and off the mats. Thank you again.

“ASNJ is a rare and wonderful place. Cannot overstate. My 12 y/o daughter started practicing here in November, she loves it. This isn’t our first crack at martial arts - My daughter can be shy and hesitant to put herself out there- but she has truly thrived here. The vibe/ the instructors/ the energy is just so awesome - she is engaged and challenged and feels comfortable - she has never said “I don’t want to go”. The whole Dojo is just full of caring, intelligent and funny instructors and members who genuinely care for and support one another. Sensei Jay and the rest of the Dojo leadership / instructors we have worked with so far (Frank, Paul, James, Thu, Barry, Tom, and Guzman) are all really great - they are awesome teachers, compassionate towards the students while challenging them to be their best selves - and always, always welcoming. I cannot recommend ASNJ enough to parents and to adults who want to practice. They offer tons of classes, very flexible schedule, interesting and fun options no matter your level/ readiness. If you are considering trying or returning to martial arts for yourself, or for your child/adolescent/teenager, ASNJ should be your first stop. You will not regret it.“

“Wonderful Tae Kwon Do school ::: NY Finest TKD!

The school environment and staff are incredibly positive and motivating. Master Larissa, Master Fiona, and Master Katrell and Master Aiden and Master Steven and all the staff are truly exceptional instructors and people. They each bring their own unique strengths to the class, but each is so committed to the students. Their passion for Tae Kwon Do and their ability to connect with kids is inspiring. They are mentors who not only teach the curriculum but also respect, perseverance, and confidence which is so important.
The school also has parties, summer camps, events, aka Christmas, Halloween, holiday bashes that are SUPER fun and my kid always look forward to going.
We’re so grateful to be part of NY Finest TKD community, and we can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“My daughter learned a great deal not only in Karate but also in discipline, focus, and motivation. The training and guidance provided helped her build stronger motivational skills and confidence, which will benefit her both inside and outside the dojo.

Greatly appreciated to Master Austin, Sensei Tom, and everyone there at Universal Warrior Mixed Martial Arts in Bayonne at 250 Broadway. Thank-you.“

“Both my daughters love this place. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonable and timing are good.“

“My three year old loves this class. The instructors are wonderful at getting a room full of toddlers to pay attention and they make the class engaging and fun. I’m excited to see him grow in the program in the coming years!“

“Great Jiu-Jitsu classes under Shihan Delaney and Joshu Roman at the new Dorp school in Staten Island, NY. Excellent instruction for skills in no-gi Jiu-Jitsu itself as well as self-defense. A tremendous boost to my mental and physical health.“

“My daughter has been a Moo Duk Kwan member since 2015. She loves practicing it! It has definitely helped shape her personality and build self confidence! The staff here are very helpful and always polite and caring! We love this federation and people here! National tournaments are the BEST!“

“My 11 and 8 year old boys have a great time and they are learning a ton. They’ve made it a very easy process to get started. Just walk your kids in for a sample class, you won’t regret it.“

“Hello our Alden has been a member of Del Martial Arts for over 4 years and continues to benefit in numerous ways! Master Paul and his terrific staff provide Alden with excellent exercise, self discipline, a sense of accomplishment, all integrated with fun and companionship. if you are looking for any of the above experiences, please review the Del Martial Arts website, you will be so glad you did!“

“I've learned more than just self-defense here as a student, I have learned confidence, discipline, respect, and much more“

“Great studio for beginners. The instructors are clear and firm with the students, but make the structure of the martial art fun. It’s also a great place for your kids to learn how to mentor, since they have student mentors helping and guiding in every class.“

“We’ve had a wonderful experience at Master Yoo Summit Taekwondo! The instructors are outstanding — patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping every child grow. They not only teach excellent Taekwondo skills but also focus on important life lessons like respect, discipline, and confidence.

The classes are well-structured, fun, and full of positive energy. It’s clear that the instructors care deeply about each student’s progress.

Highly recommend Master Yoo Summit Taekwondo to any parent looking for a program that builds strong minds and strong bodies!“

“We couldn’t be happier with ATA in Parlin. It is absolutely worth the investment of both time and money. We have two kids enrolled, and the growth we’ve seen in their behavior, discipline, skills, and social development has been incredible.
The instructors truly take martial arts seriously. They teach with knowledge, structure, and a strong emphasis on respect. It’s not just about learning kicks and punches; it’s about building character, confidence, and self-control.
Our kids have gained so much more than martial arts skills. They’ve learned responsibility, focus, and how to carry themselves with confidence. The instructors are professional, patient, and genuinely care about each student’s progress.
Highly recommend to any parent looking for a program that builds strong kids inside and out.“

“My son joined Tigers about 3 years ago, and since his first time practicing Taekwondo he was hooked! The teacher and staff really get to know the children and develop trusting relationships. My sons focus and discipline has come such along way. He will continue to attend Tigers as he advances into new belt colors and learning new techniques! We love Tigers!“

“Love Dragonfit. My daughter has been going to them for years. Coach Jess and Master Matias are loving and awesome!“
