The instructors are patient, kind, and encouraging, while still teaching discipline and respect. We’ve seen big improvements in his focus at, confidence, and listening skills — his teacher even mentioned it! While he still gets distracted at home sometimes (as kids do ?) The environment is very family-friendly and positive, and they truly care about each student. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a great martial arts program for kids!“

He has build his confidence, has learned respect, values, discipline and being courageous.. he is now a red belt going on his 3rd stripe and we can’t be more proud and happy for his accomplishments. The instructors push him to his limit specially Mr. X he saw potential on Valentino since day one he is always motivating him and proving to him that he has more to offer everyday and that has made his martial arts skills a lot stronger. Mr. X is very experienced and impressive.. has great teaching skills that makes all kids want more daily.

“My wife and I loved training at Square Circle. All the coaches are great and super knowledgable, but we particularly benefitted from Kru Rob's expertise. One thing that set Square Circle apart for us, though, was the community. There was a mix of levels, from folks currently competing to newer athletes, but everyone was super welcoming and eager to help / learn from one another. I definitely felt like it was a safe, fun place to spar, and bonus points for the beautiful space overlooking the Financial District. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to train Muay Thai in the city!“

“My son loves Master Joe, he was first introduced via his school. Now I got him signed up for unlimited classes. 100% recommend ?“

“The Bay Ridge Dojo is hands down one of the most exceptional martial training centers out there. I first stepped through its doors in 1985, and though life has taken me away from time to time, I’ve always found myself coming back. There’s a reason this dojo has stood the test of time while so many others have fallen by the wayside. The family-like atmosphere combined with a no-nonsense approach to self-defense creates an environment that’s both welcoming and serious about personal growth.

What sets BRD apart is its balance between staying true to its core principles while continually evolving to meet the demands of modern self-defense. The training here is grounded in reality, and it’s served me well throughout my career as both a Marine and a Police Officer with the NYPD. This is not a place where you’ll learn flashy, ineffective techniques. At BRD, you’re trained to survive and thrive in any confrontation, whether it’s through de-escalation, tactical maneuvers, or straight-up combat when necessary. The goal is simple: win and go home safe.

The instructors are first-class professionals in their respective fields, and each one brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to their teaching. If you’re looking for a martial arts school that will push you, protect you, and make you feel like part of a family, look no further. The Bay Ridge Dojo has been my second home, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly.“

“Master Lee is the best ... just overall a great instructor. I am very happy with his teachings and guidance with Kayleb!“

“This is a wonderful wrestling school. I have nothing but great things to say about Elmer and the rest of the coaches at Edge. They do a terrific job of running the youth wrestling program. They have a truly long term perspective on making the program as retainable and fun for kids as possible - while still making sure they are learning. If you are thinking about enrolling your kid in a youth wrestling program, this is where you want to be.“

“I wholeheartedly recommend Master Hilario to any parent looking for a taekwondo program that not only teaches Martial Arts, but also instills the importance of self-discipline, respect, and perseverance. Master Hilario provides a warm and welcoming environment for all students and families. My son loves going to his classes, I have seen a lot of improvement in his confidence and ability to focus. He is very excited and committed to becoming a black belt!“

“our son LOVED his week at nature camp! he is really happy and enjoyed exploring the forest and learning about all of its inhabitants while making friends. Candace and Ray were so welcoming and understanding of kids who need a little extra time to feel comfortable in a new environment. at the end of the program our son was so confident and proud to take us on the trail their group would take. so glad we decided to sign him up for camp and that there is a nature program that also involves discovering and studying the environment a little further. looking forward to going to camps again in the future!“
