Martial Arts Schools near Madison

“My 7 year old has been enrolled here for over 2 years now and my 5 year old just started. We could not be more pleased about the personal growth/development of both my boys and I attribute that success in part to Master O'Connor. The martial arts instruction is excellent for kids my sons age. They find it engaging, fun, and there has been demonstrative progress in skill development with my elder son recently participating in sparring instruction.

More important, is the relationship they have with Master O'Connor. As a father who works 4 days a week in the city, having him as a strong role model teaching them respect, honor, discipline, and instilling confidence in my young boys makes him an invaluable resource to our family.

We are lucky to have them enrolled here.“

“I absolutely love training at Tiger Schulmann’s in Randolph. From day one, the staff made me feel welcome and supported. Natty took the time to answer all my questions and was incredibly patient, which made starting out so much more comfortable. When it comes to training, Coach Ricardo and Coach Alex are both excellent instructors. They explain techniques in a way that sticks! Breaking everything down step by step so you understand the details all the way down to the smallest movements. You can tell they genuinely care about your progress and want to see you succeed.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent skills building and confidence booster for my son, this type of technique in taekwondo teaches lifelong skills- so grateful!!“

“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!“

“My daughter has been a proud member of White Tiger Dojo for over seven years, and it remains one of her favorite places to be. As parents, we are incredibly grateful for the life lessons, confidence, and character building that Sensei Darren instills in his students. We’re so thankful she has found a place that, in her words, “feels like family.” It gives me great peace of mind knowing she has a supportive environment to learn, grow, and be mentored by someone who truly cares about his students’ development and well-being. Thank you, White Tiger Dojo, for being such a meaningful part of our daughter’s growth.“

“Amazing instructors who really care about the success and improvement of their students. A true credit to ATA and martial arts as a whole.“

“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 child loves it here. The owner and staff pay personal attention to every child and adult that walks through the door. My child started classes at 5 and has been there for over 1 year. The instruction focuses on TKD techniques and skills but also on developing character, self esteem and attention span. My child enjoys going so much. He has NEVER said he doesn’t want to go to class and runs in every week excited to see everyone. They have extra events at the studio and my son gets excited and always asks to attend. I have seen many benefits of these classes in my son. He has increased confidence, coordination, strength, attention span, motivation for working towards goals, and respect for elders. Thank you Cho’s Legacy!“

“Master Israel is such a great master coming from one of his students. Not only has the taught me self discipline but he has taught me to love me and others ,treat others with kindness , respect, to always be aware, and so much more. I truly I’m so thankful for my parents bring me here. Master Israel is so amazing with his students even when he has a rough day he still puts a smile on his face and others . Not only teaching us martial arts but teaching us about the world and the obstacles it brings and helping us through them. Master Israel is there for all of us he really is amazing. He has made taeknowdo fun in so many ways, tells us the best stories and still gets what needs to be done. He has made taekwondo so much more than just some silly kicks and punches he has brought some much more to taekwondo while still add the original meaning and kicks/punches . You can tell how much he loves all his students and parents , only wanting the best for us . I’m so grateful and will always be grateful for him and taekwondo . Love you master Israel ???“

“BJJ is helping my son to build focus and self-discipline. Coach Pat has high but achievable expectations. He treats every child as if they are his own, and I can see that he wants them to grow their martial arts skills and succeed. Try a demo class.“

“I have had the pleasure of traveling at the Judokai of Fairfield for a year now and I have to say I truly wish I joined sooner! Sensei Kevin Costello greets everyone with a smile and a warm welcome. I truly appreciate that heknows how to teach people of all ages and experience as that has allowed my wife and I to both train here and grow in the great sport of Judo. I truly recommend this place to all who wish to either begin their martial arts training or further advance what they have learned prior. Overall, being a part of the Judokai has been one of my best decisions in a long time!“

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

“For anyone who wants to learn capoeira or simply train their body in ways they never thought possible, GLDC is the most welcoming of any capoeira academy I have been to, starting with the group leader.“

“AMPED is the real deal! Beyond impressed with the training and knowledge my son is receiving. Master John is great with the kids, my son has learned so much already and looks forward to going twice a week. We love watching him too! Can't wait for my younger son to join next year !!“

“I was looking for a taekwondo academy for my child that felt personal and not like a factory churning out classes without building a relationship between teacher and student. Master Chun’s academy provides that personal atmosphere where you know your child won’t be overlooked. It is perfect for a parent who wants their child to learn TKD, not only for its physical benefits, but also to build discipline and develop character. I can’t say enough good things about Master Chun. He is a great combination of a strong leader who has high expectations for his students and a warm teacher who knows how to meet the students where they are. You won’t regret starting you or your child’s TKD journey with him!“

“Even though Mooshim is nowhere near where I live, I can tell you that this Taekwondo school is outstanding. I met Master Amy several years ago while training at my local dojang. We became friendly and I know that her biggest passion in life is Taekwondo (OK...maybe a close second to her family! She does love them!). Master Amy has trained under multiple TKD Grandmasters and brings a refreshing perspective to the art: a perfect combination of traditional martial arts, fitness and sports acumen. Master Amy cares deeply about every one of her students and truly gets joy out of watching their growth and success. When covid shut everything down in March, I started training with her and her students online. She shifted gears and created asynchronous content for her students to access - but, more importantly, kept the flow of live classes going using zoom. Online-only classes continued until some of the restrictions started to lift. She is currently running hybrid classes so that she can address the needs of all. There are several students that are strictly online since they live in different parts of the US (even different time zones!). Since we're still at the height of the pandemic, all in-person participants require masks, temperature checks, hand sanitizer and substantial social distancing - so (in-person) class sizes are currently limited. Master Amy has taken all precautions - and then some - to ensure everyone's safety. She's been incredibly creative on how to teach nuanced techniques from a distance and will try anything to help bring her students along. If you're looking for a great way to get fit, have fun and learn an amazing, traditional martial art - check out Mooshim.“

“Positive and encouraging environment, our child has memorized the schedule and is always enthusiastic about going. We love that respect and focus are core tenets of this dojang. After trials a several martial arts facilities, we have found our home here!“

“I work a job that requires a lot of movement and lifting and the trainers have helped me learn the best ways to avoid injury. Highly recommend you check them out!“

“Mr. Parks is the best!!! He is a great teacher and a great person!! Come here for great lessons!“
