Martial Arts Schools near Midland Park

“I have had the pleasure of bringing my son to Kim’s Martial Arts for the past five years, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. This outstanding school has not only equipped him with self-defense skills but has also instilled in him essential life lessons, such as emotional control, discipline, and perseverance.

The teachings at Kim’s Martial Arts go beyond physical training; they empower children to view challenges as opportunities for growth. My son now approaches problems with courage and confidence, all while embodying humility and kindness.

I wholeheartedly recommend Master Kim’s Dojo. Master Paul and the other instructors exemplify grace, kindness, and patience in their teaching methods, nurturing the students into remarkable young adults. The impact of their guidance is profound and lasting.

If you’re considering a martial arts school for your child, look no further than Kim’s Martial Arts!“

This place is so much more than a Karate Dojo, it's a family, and one I'm proud to be part of!“

“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.“

“This was one of the best activities I've ever signed my son up for. As an 8 year old with ADHD, many activities and sports are challenging for him to focus and stay in control, but Master Lee makes Tae Kwon Do fun, the right amount of challenging, and keeps the children disciplined. My son is learning life skills along with self defense and we have been very happy here!“

“Bill Stevens is a great Karate coach for kids. Our kid loved his class, and insisted to come twice a week despite we sometimes would have a schedule conflict. Bill, in my opinion, invest a lot of time to make his class fun and educative. It’s not just a karate class, but a life lesson to teach the kids discipline while keeping them entertained.

Thank you Sensei!“

“Erick Tavares is an outstanding coach. He clearly has the knowledge and experience. When I tried out his class for the first time I was very nervous, but Erick along with the other professors are very welcoming and kind. They're willing to take the time to teach beginners like myself. If anyone wants to learn good quality jiu jitsu from a trained professional, this is definitely the place.“
