Martial Arts Schools near Linden

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

“Excellent Karate class. Shiihan is truly an expert in Kyokushin karate and he conducts his classes in a way that instills value and comraderie. I see that in all his students no matter the belt color.“

“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 two sons, ages 6 and 3, have been attending satori for about 5 months. All the teachers are very kind and patient. They know how to appropriately interact and engage with the kids. They do a wonderful job working on karate skills while also making it fun for the age level. I would highly recommend satori to anyone interested in enrolling their child in karate.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My son has joined 5 years ago and he loves Finest Taekwondo. Friendly and excellent instructors. Love this place.“

“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!“

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!“

“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 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.“

“If you are considering starting your martial arts journey or looking for a new studio to call home, I wholeheartedly recommend Moo Duk Kwan HQ (formerly known as Hwang Karate). Master Erik Orella is a world-class Instructor and a Certified Sa Bom ("Instructor of Instructors") who can effectively relate to individuals of all ages and ranks. He is extremely talented at tailoring his guidance to suit your level and goals.The classes are well-structured and dynamic, keeping each session engaging and challenging. Beyond the benefits of physical fitness and mental focus, the studio instills valuable life lessons such as discipline, perseverence, and respect. Moo Duk Kwan HQ is much more than a place to train - it's a place to grow, learn and become the best version of yourself!“

“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!“

“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!“

“As both a former student and now the parent of a student, I can confidently say that Master Lee is one of the most professional and impactful individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing. His patience, kindness, and deep knowledge of Tae Kwon Do deserve the highest recognition. He is continually striving to expand his understanding of the martial arts and refine the ways he educates his students. Beyond technique, he is dedicated to teaching them how to become respectful, confident, and upstanding human beings.
I am truly grateful for Master Lee and all that he brings to H.S. Lee Karate School—especially the opportunity to share these meaningful experiences with my child.“
