“There are no words to express the gratitude I have for Achieve Martial Arts. My son was misbehaving, and after just a few weeks of classes, I saw an improvement in his behavior, discipline, and respect for everyone. So, if you're looking to enroll your child in a martial arts school that teaches discipline, respect, and commitment, Achieve is the place.“

“We have become a part of the BMA family only a few months ago but already we feel immeasurable impact on my son’s overall health and aptitude. The BMA team is extremely supportive and goes above and beyond simple instruction! They invest in each child and each child’s unique personality. Can’t endorse them enough!!!“

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Scarsdale Achieve Martial Arts! My child has been training here for about a year now, and we truly couldn’t be happier.

The coaches are incredibly professional, patient, and motivating. They really know how to work with kids — building not only skills and discipline, but also confidence and character. You can tell they genuinely care about every student’s progress.

The front desk staff always greet us with such a warm and friendly welcome, which makes the whole place feel like a community, not just a school. Communication and organization are excellent — we’re always well informed about schedules, events, and progress.

And after the recent renovation, the facility looks amazing! The space feels fresh, clean, and especially inviting.

Highly recommend this place to any family looking for a supportive, high-quality martial arts program. We’re so grateful to be part of this community!“

“Master Ho Lee's Taekwondo is simply Amazing!! Our son has been enrolled for 5 months. The difference between day one and now is night and day! My son today is stronger, more focused and is extremely more confident. Master Ho Lee teaches discipline, resilience, grit. My son is excited about every class, he has earned a yellow belt, and now he wants to keep going and earn other belts as goals. We could not be any prouder of the progress and transformation our son has made. Enrolling him to Master Lee's Taekwondo has to be one of the best decisions we made for him. If I could put 6 stars I would. Thank you, Master Ho Lee!!!“

“Love this place. Very well run. Master Oh and his teachers are the best mix of discipline and encouragement. Recommend trying it out for a few weeks. Lots of younger children but also some teens and adults. Bronxville location is convenient and the Dojang is large and very clean. My son loves it there.“

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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've been at this location for around twenty years as part of the Judo program. The school also teaches traditional Japanese jujutsu, and has a karate/Taekwondo program for kids. The Judo program has adults, teens and children. There is ample seating for observing visitors/parents.

The instructors are competent, but they are also friendly and honest.

The place has two mats, a weight room, male and female bathrooms, and lockers. The main mat is constructed on a platform that has some give to it, which reduces the impact of falls.“

“Through my 12 years training taekwondo here, I can proudly say it has shaped me into the person I am today. Through every belt and lesson, I learn more about discipline and respect. This place doesn’t only teach martial arts, but also teaches many great values that stay with you forever. The skills and hardships I developed here will always be a core part of who I am. I am grateful for everything this place has given me.“

“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.“

“One of the best Japanese martial arts school in Westchester. An amazing teacher and students, so many martial arts insights.“

“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!“

“Master Mario knows what he's doing and I enjoy training with him and my son. I cannot recommend him and his team enough!“

“I have known SHIHAN Shahin Mehrkar for nearly 30 years. What kept me going and training was Shihan's unwavering, but realistic, dedication to exceptionalism. Sadly life gets in the way of plans and I was unable to continue training. I have stopped by over the years and was inspired everytime I watched classes of all ages that the attention to detail was still very obvious. I would recommend this school and it's instructors to everyone without any reservations whatsoever. I would trust Shihan and anyone he trusts to deliver the best training possible.“

“If you want to learn authentic traditional Tai Chi as the martial art that it is including the health benefits that all Tai Chi schools claim, you have found the right school. Here you will learn the intricacies of open hand forms as well as the related weapons forms including sword, spear, fan and others. It is a school for the person who is serious,dedicated to self improvement and with the patience to learn the details of the art. The rewards are great and real.“
