Martial Arts Schools near Fairport

“We joined ROC a few months ago after making the switch from another dojo that was not challenging my 12 year old son enough. It was the best decision! ROC has helped him so much and has renewed his enthusiasm for martial arts. At ROC, students earn their stripes and belts based on performance, so my son is up to a green belt fairly quickly and is advancing to his blue. He puts a lot of time and energy into practicing so it is amazing to see his hard work rewarded. Everyone made us feel welcome, and excited that we are there. If you are on the fence they offer a three week special to try out before switching to a monthly plan. Definite 5 stars!“

“We have been going to Gracie for about 2 months and really enjoy it. The instructors have a great relationship with the students. They are always encouraging them to be their best and try new things. Each lesson includes working on confidence while being kind and respectful to their classmates. Special shout outs to Coach Chris, Coach Pat and Mr. Dylan who make our Mondays awesome!“

“I started coming about six months ago for BJJ with no previous martial arts experience, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. The community is great and very welcoming. The staff and coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. I am impressed with the quality of instruction I have received in BJJ. Members also take the initiative to teach, help, and share their knowledge with others. Regardless of skill level or how much time you can commit, everyone is welcome at Shogun. Highly recommend!!!“

“My daughter is always looking forward to her karate days. Martial arts is a great way to teach her respect, discipline and other life values that we would like her to have.
Thank you Martial arts America“

“Martial Arts America teaches karate in a fun and engaging way for kids. My daughter has learned discipline and has gained confidence since she started several years ago. We didn’t know how far she would go, but she’s earning her way up the belt levels and will be a black belt before we know it. She loves the summer camps too. I highly recommend these dojos. We’ve been to Penfield and Brighton and both are great!“

“The staff is incredible and the facility is very clean and well-organized! My son enjoyed the after school program here, highly recommend.“

“Been training with Tim a few years, it's a great school. Tim teaches krav maga street defense. You can Google Mike Ruppel and take a look at the founders YouTube channel“

“Joined T’ai Chi school first time in 2017 with my now husband… we did the 10week course as a ‘date activity’. Now 2023 we are back in with the groove this September with friends… could not be happier. Rochester is a great place to live because of niches like this. So grateful!“

“Such a great dojo. My family has been part of this dojo for over 7 years now and train several times a week. The focus on personal development make it great for students of any age and ability level. I started in my 40's after my kids joined and could not be happier that I joined.

We've been seeing more and more young kids joining and it is fantastic. Seeing a 3 year old learning to focus and learn is remarkable.“

“I first took a capoeira class to build strength and mobility to prepare me for other art forms. 5 years later, I have found capoeira to be beneficial and dynamic for many different reasons: capoeira has strengthened and built upon my yoga experience and teaching, it has added to and stretched my dance background, it has opened up my passion for music and rhythm and language, and it has put me in the midst of a supportive and amazing community. Our contra-mestre Todd Carcará Russell is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. All the other teachers have unique perspectives, skill, and joy in teaching. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Small dojo and a wonderful place to train. Everyone treats you like family, they are extremely welcoming and fun- but they also take training seriously! Each sensei has a unique teaching style that complements many different learning styles. Be prepared to work hard to earn your stripes!“

“This place is a positive learning environment that welcomes all and builds confidence and discipline in each student they teach.“
