Martial Arts Schools near Elmsford

“Amazing traditional Japanese dojo. Run by the grandmaster of an international complex of karate schools. If you know anything about martial arts, there are not a lot of grand masters in the world. To find one in your own backyard? Priceless! This dojo is truly a gem!“

“The staff is so patient with the kids and parents alike! They also really encourage the students to push through and do their best whilst making class fun!“

“AMA has been so good for our son. Eliminating fear and instilling confidence has been our experience.
Instructors are thorough and focus on development while also giving the students opportunities.
I encourage anyone looking to sign up their children to Martial Arts classes to come to Achieve Marital Arts.“

“Kids love it here. The senseis are amazing and awesome teachers. They have a summer camp option for the kids too!“

“My son and daughter have been attending Master Kim's Scarsdale Taekwondo for about a year now, and I am so glad we started. They’ve tried other sports, but Taekwondo is by far their favorite. It’s wonderful to see them enjoying it so much and always trying their best. What I love most is the instructors—you can tell they truly love kids, and they teach with so much energy and friendliness. I am incredibly satisfied and highly recommend this place!“

“A fantastic place for your child to learn and grow as a dancer! They have such a wonderful and welcoming community there.“

“My daughter loves her taekwondo classes. She began in an enrichment class offered by iPlus One Academy down the road, and continued during the summer at the studio. Master Isaac is wonderful with the children, and an exemplary instructor. These classes have helped my daughter with her confidence, listening skills, and physical strength. The belt testings are very organized, and create great memories. I would recommend Master J to anyone considering learning or enrolling their children in taekwondo!“

“My son started karate here over a year ago and we couldn't be happier. Signed my daughter up once she turned 4. All the instructors are very well trained and patience with the little ones. Shihan Baxter is world-renowned but still has time to teach the little dragons.“

“My child has been going to these classes for 9 months ! He's had a lot of fun and he's focused more in his school, I really recommend these classes for your kids!“

“My Daughter loves this place. I can't speak highly enough of the staff who make it both educational and very fun for all the kids. ??“

“Hong Ik Taekwondo profoundly impacted my teenager’s life, transforming his shyness into lasting confidence, focus, and inner calm. This isn't just a martial arts school; it's a catalyst for significant personal growth.

I wholeheartedly recommend Hong Ik Bronxville/all sites for children or for any young adults. It instills invaluable discipline, respect, and self-belief.

Adults will discover a powerful path to enhanced physical vitality, mental clarity, and overall well-being. It's a truly exceptional place that delivers genuine, positive change to mind, body & spirit.

Thank you Master Oh & your amazing team for guiding our son.“

“I was searching for a female-friendly space to learn self-defense when I found this gym, and it has easily been one of my best finds of 2025. Coaches Jhaydon and Orlando are exceptional—supportive, encouraging, and highly skilled. Their coaching in Muay Thai and BJJ has helped me build confidence while training in an environment that is both welcoming and disciplined. I’m equally grateful for the community here; it’s a place where I feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely supported as I learn. If you’re a woman looking for an MMA gym, I can’t recommend this place enough.“

“Our Nory has been taking Master Cosmo’s lessons for over 18 months now. Master Cosmo and his team are excellent with encouraging discipline and focus while also encouraging room for improvement, and most importantly respect amongst her peers that segway into other areas. Highly recommend Master Cosmo’s school to any parent looking for a positive active atmosphere!“

“Great place for anyone; from small kids to adults. Very positive and friendly atmosphere, while teaching respect and discipline. It really shows that their priority is to teach and see their students improve and advance. Very pleased with my daughters progress, looking forward to more tournaments/trophy's.“

“Amazing school! 10/10 I recommend. My 2 boys have been attending this school for 5 years now. They are black belts competing in multiple tournaments here in the local area as well as internationally in South Korea and winning 1st and 2nd place multiple times. They are an extension of our family and I would recommend over and over again!“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Edge! I have 2 young children at Edge and they are thriving. Karate, overall, seems great for kids' development, but the team at Edge is extra special.

My children have had Senseis Eric and Jackie and both are really wonderful with young children. My Littles have wildly different personalities, and both are thriving due to the way Edge folks instruct, support, and guide them. The Senseis make the inherent challenge of karate (emotionally) safe and accessible to even young children. We are delighted to continue karate at Edge and tell our friends to come join us!“

“My son has been going here for years and he loves it! Great for his self esteem and physical strength“

“I’ve been training at Arena Training Center for about five months, and signing up was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I did a lot of research before choosing a school, and this one stood out immediately.
The schedule is incredibly flexible, with consistent classes instead of just a few options each week. The coaches, Elvis and Peter, are not only knowledgeable but patient, intentional, and genuinely invested in your improvement. From day one, you feel welcomed by both the instructors and fellow students, whether you’re brand-new or experienced.
Since starting, my stamina, and even my mile time, have noticeably improved just from showing up consistently. I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone looking to get in shape, build real skills, and train in a positive, growth-focused environment.
I’m excited to keep improving and seeing how far I can go. The discipline and consistency I’m building here are already carrying over into other areas of my life.“

“My son has been attending Tiger Kim's school for a few years now and has really enjoyed his experience. The school is well-organized, communicative with parents, and has created a family-like environment for all its students. It also has a great waiting/seating area where you can watch your kid's class. The Masters train the kids with a healthy balance of discipline and fun and are very supportive and patient. There are also a lot of fun activities planned for the kids during the year like a spring picnic, holiday party, and a Halloween party. In general, I would highly recommend Tiger Kim's Taekwondo school for kids of all ages.“

“This school is run by an amazing family! All of which had significant impact on my life in the years I've been training with them and their sister school. These students always do well in competitions and the environment is fantastic! I would highly recommend.“

“Stopped in here while traveling on a Saturday. Julio was there to greet me after an exchange of emails. He and his team were very welcoming and skillful.“

“Sensei Chris and staff are top notch. From day one we felt welcome and my grandson loved the classes and teachers. They have a great approach with the kids. Class is structured but always has some nice humor mixed in for the kids. I brought my son here over 25 years ago and it’s lovely to see the school continuing under the same family.“

“We’ve been going for over six months now and it’s just wonderful. Mr. Min is fantastic!!“

“My boys and family absolutely love True ChampionZ Martial Arts !!! My twin sons have been taking classes for the past year and it has stopped their fidgeting, self-esteem has improved. Their skills are improving with every class. They are are a strip yellow belt on their way to a solid yellow. Sensai Richardson is a great teacher and mentor. We hope to grow with True ChampionZ Martial Arts on their journey in this sport and dedication.“
