Martial Arts Schools near Pompton Plains

“My 5 year old son loves his MMA class at T4L! The instructors are not only patient but emphasize building character and discipline along with learning the martial art skills and making it a fun and engaging class. Thank you Mr. L!“

“After many years of training with others i questioned the effectiveness of what I had learned. Sensei Allison has taken my “watered down” Karate to the next level, taking the movement I learned and combining it with structure, technique and knowledge to practically apply what I had learned in a self defense situation.“

“Master Chris, Master Mike, and their team are truly exceptional. Over the past 8 years for my daughter and 5 years for my son, both progressing from no belt to black belt (first and second degree), they have cultivated remarkable skill and confidence. The staff is highly professional, fostering discipline while ensuring the learning process is enjoyable for the children. Additionally, the program provides a substantial amount of physical exercise. I highly recommend Absolute Martial Arts to anyone considering enrolling their children—it's an investment you won't regret.“

“My son started at Master Kim’s 3 months ago and he absolutely loves it. He’s excited to go every time and I have already seen improvements in his patience. I look forward to seeing all the progress my son will make with the help of master Kim and his wonderful staff!“

“Master Kang’s and his sons are good instructors.They always motivates and it feels like a journey.“

“This place has been life changing for my family! Can’t say how please I am with everything. Such a safe environment for young adults with a great vibe! It’s a pleasure to be part of this community. 10 stars!!!!“

“Yanni is one of the best instructors I have ever met he is a martial artist at heart learning and growing and training every day. Up Top has one of the best curriculums, tough rounds, amazing training partners who are like my family. Proud to be a member of the Up Top family. Yanni is the John Danaher east of the Hudson.“

“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!“

“My son is obsessed with going to Karate every week! I would highly recommend checking this place out.“

“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!“

“My children have been going here for a number of years. Sensei Scott is great with the kids!“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“Enrolling my son in this class has been the best decision I've ever made. He has been attending class for years and has worked his way to a brown belt with the help and encouragement of Sensei Luis and Sensei Mark. They have a way of commanding respect but also making the journey fun and engaging. I am ever so grateful for their hard work and patience. Money and time well spent!“

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

“Traditional okinawan karate isn't just a dojo to learn self defense it is a whole community coming together as one to teach, to discipline, to learn self respect, responsibility, & most of all build confidence for life long skills outside of the dojo. I have been training for 5 and a half yrs and through my journey here I have learned so much and continue to learn with each class I take..watching Mr. & Mrs. Miller teach is so inspiring to me it makes me want to be a better person because of it. If you are ever thinking about taking a karate class this is the place to do it you won't regret your decision.“

“Both my kids have been attending Talium since age 4. We have become one big Talium family. The grandmaster and all the Instructors know every child by name . My kids are thriving there . They are great with handling all different personalities and my kids have learned so mucg . I can not recommend them
Enough! Five stars!“
