Martial Arts Schools near Hawthorne

“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.“

“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!“

“Great place for kids to learn different styles of dance. All my kids enjoyed dancing at CCD.“

“This is a great place, great atmosphere, great teachers. Most importantly a kids friendly place.“

“My son Daniel has been coming to the school since early elementary school. He is now in High School and is a 3rd Dan Black Belt. Our family has seen him grow in confidence and maturity. Helped with fitness. Wonderful TKD family.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My daughter begged me for karate classes and I was so happy to learn Takahashi was a traditional dojo with a flexible schedule. I knew it was a great fit before my daughter even finished her test class. Sensei Takahashi and Sensei Lisa are both wonderful with the kids. They strike the right balance between firm boundaries and a lighthearted manner, ensuring the kids are staying on task while also having fun. Takahashi Dojo is a very welcoming environment and a great place to learn both the physical and mental elements of karate. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Have been going to the Karate Dojo on and off for over 20 years. Classes are for all skills levels and ages. If you're in the area, you should check it out!“

“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.“

“Awesome conditioning / bag program... after just a few months much stronger, lost weight. Instructors are wonderful. Highly recommend!“

“My son has been going to J Y Moon Taekwondo and he did their afterschool in summer camp although he’s outgrown after school in summer camp. He really had a good time and formed a good community there. Grand Master is an excellent instructor and a good community overall and they get good exercise and lessons.“
