Martial Arts Schools near Harrington Park

“Joining Velella Martial Arts has been an incredible experience for both me and my son. Training with Guy has been a game changer — I’ve lost 11 pounds so far, and more importantly, I feel stronger, healthier, and more consistent than I have in years.

Guy really knows how to tailor workouts to your goals and push you in a way that’s motivating, not overwhelming. The atmosphere is focused but welcoming, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his clients’ progress.

My son is also training here as he prepares to head to USMMA this fall, and the conditioning, discipline, and strength work he’s getting is exactly what he needs. We’re both seeing real results! Thank you Guy!“

“First time went to Element Wing Tsun, I immediately love this place! People are so kind and friendly. No matter I’m a beginner for wing tsun, everyone is so patience to teach me. I’m sure I will be back when I go to NY next time!“

“The staff is so patient with the kids and parents alike! They also really encourage the students to push through and do their best whilst making class fun!“

“Top of line kickboxing Martial arts school w high level instructors. Everyone is always super inviting and Ricky always have top notch guys there that will elevate your game.

“We couldn’t be more proud to be part of the 5150 Martial Arts family! The instructors and community are truly amazing, supportive, disciplined, and inspiring every step of the way.

A huge shoutout to my daughter for earning her high yellow belt after 4 years of dedication and hard work! Watching her grow in confidence, strength, and perseverance has been incredible. This place is about so much more than martial arts, it’s about building character and lifelong skills. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter loves her taekwondo classes. She began in an enrichment class offered by iPlus One Academy down the road, and continued during the summer at the studio. Master Isaac is wonderful with the children, and an exemplary instructor. These classes have helped my daughter with her confidence, listening skills, and physical strength. The belt testings are very organized, and create great memories. I would recommend Master J to anyone considering learning or enrolling their children in taekwondo!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We tried two other taekwondo places before we came here. The master is extremely friendly and helpful. My kids love here. In fact, my second son wants to become a taekwondo master when he grows up. Finally we found a great place to learn taekwondo.“

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with my son’s kendo lessons. Master Kim is patient, respectful, and incredibly skilled at working with children. He creates a structured yet encouraging environment that teaches not only kendo techniques, but also discipline, focus, confidence, and respect for others.

My son looks forward to every class and has grown so much — both physically and mentally — since starting. Master Kim takes the time to guide each student and make sure they feel supported, regardless of skill level. It’s clear he truly cares about the students and the art of kendo.

I highly recommend these lessons to any parent looking for a meaningful and enriching martial arts experience for their child.“

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

Love it….“

“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.“

“I've had both my kids at triumph going on our 3rd year. Great instructors, always displaying respect and discipline which should be central in any tkd program. Master oh always shows positivity and this studio has flexible class scheduling for my kids. Don't hesitate, good people here.“

“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.“

“My son started karate here over a year ago and we couldn't be happier. Signed my daughter up once she turned 4. All the instructors are very well trained and patience with the little ones. Shihan Baxter is world-renowned but still has time to teach the little dragons.“

“My child has been going to these classes for 9 months ! He's had a lot of fun and he's focused more in his school, I really recommend these classes for your kids!“

“I was searching for a female-friendly space to learn self-defense when I found this gym, and it has easily been one of my best finds of 2025. Coaches Jhaydon and Orlando are exceptional—supportive, encouraging, and highly skilled. Their coaching in Muay Thai and BJJ has helped me build confidence while training in an environment that is both welcoming and disciplined. I’m equally grateful for the community here; it’s a place where I feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely supported as I learn. If you’re a woman looking for an MMA gym, I can’t recommend this place enough.“

“I have my twins enrolled at Tiger Schulmann’s, and in a few weeks I’ve already noticed a positive difference in their coordination and overall confidence. The instructors do an amazing job encouraging growth while also keeping the environment supportive, motivating and fun! The instructors genuinely care, and it is obvious in the way they work with each child in every single class.
My son is becoming more resilient and confident and my daughter, is starting to feel more comfortable and positive about herself. It’s been great to see both of them grow, not just physically but mentally.
Overall, we are very happy with our experience and would highly recommend this located to all parents. 🥋🌟“

“Great place for anyone; from small kids to adults. Very positive and friendly atmosphere, while teaching respect and discipline. It really shows that their priority is to teach and see their students improve and advance. Very pleased with my daughters progress, looking forward to more tournaments/trophy's.“

“Beautiful and clean dojo as soon as you walk in you feel the ambience. Sensei is dedicated to teaching real aikido for self defense and help cultivate positive mental health that adds fire in one's life . Zimmerman Sensei's dojo aikido of north jersey you get the full aikido curriculum and he's more than a sensei to his students also a life coach who is an ambassador who advocates the art of peace (aikidio) principles to help build confidence, conquer our challenges and adversity in life.“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Edge! I have 2 young children at Edge and they are thriving. Karate, overall, seems great for kids' development, but the team at Edge is extra special.

My children have had Senseis Eric and Jackie and both are really wonderful with young children. My Littles have wildly different personalities, and both are thriving due to the way Edge folks instruct, support, and guide them. The Senseis make the inherent challenge of karate (emotionally) safe and accessible to even young children. We are delighted to continue karate at Edge and tell our friends to come join us!“

“Chon-Ji Academy-Martial Arts teaches real life and leadership skills that does not just apply to a kid’s overall health but also strengthens their minds. Mr. C is the reason why Chon-Ji Academy-Martial Arts is so successful.“

“My son has been going here for years and he loves it! Great for his self esteem and physical strength“

“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. ??“

“Our kids love it at Tiger Kim’s! We have been going for over a year and really like the way the instructors teach the kids, young or older.
We also like the summer camp which accelerates their progress.“
