Martial Arts Schools near Orangeburg

“It's so well run and my son loves the classes (and it's the only thing that has stuck!). I'm glad we discovered this dojo!“

“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!!!“

“? Fantastic Taekwondo School for Kids! My child loves coming here! The instructors are kind, energetic, and great with kids. They teach discipline, respect, and confidence in a fun and safe way. We’ve seen big improvements in focus and self-esteem. Highly recommend for young martial artists!“

“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!“

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

“Master Jay and Master Isaac cultivates an environment where the students are excited to attend classes. I’ve witnessed my daughter grow as a person and athlete and I am beyond grateful that she is trained by masters that deeply cares for their students. There is a great camaraderie and sense of family amongst the students and this stems from the masters immense support for their students. I highly recommend for all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced competitive levels.“

“Love it here! The instructors are awesome, know what they are doing, and totally supportive. It's a family atmosphere. I started my daughter and then a few months later I joined. Best decision ever.“

“Renzo Gracie Rockland Jiu-Jitsu is truly an exceptional academy. The professors are absolutely amazing and have an incredible attention to detail. They consistently go above and beyond to make sure every student not only understands the techniques being taught, but is also applying them correctly during class. While students are rolling, the professors are constantly coaching, reminding them of strategies, and helping them sharpen their skills in real time.

What truly sets this place apart is how nurturing and genuinely caring the instructors are, especially with the kids. They continuously push them to grow, improve, and build confidence each day in such a positive and encouraging environment. Our boys have been treated like family since the moment they started, and that means everything to us.

My husband and I were so inspired that we even decided to start taking classes ourselves, and I’ve already learned so much after just one class. The atmosphere is welcoming, motivating, and filled with passion for the art of jiu-jitsu. I cannot recommend Renzo Gracie Rockland highly enough for anyone looking for top-tier instruction, a supportive community, and an amazing experience for both kids and adults.“

“I have been training at this gym for two months and feel my conditioning has been improving drastically. You get both a cardio workout and at the same time learn self defense. Highly recommend. Ricky the owner is a great guy and made me feel welcomed as soon as I stepped foot in the gym.“

“This school is simply amazing - the instructors, the teaching methods, what we learn and the people!“

“Highly recommend this place for all parents who want their children to gain self confidence, discipline overall respect for others…

Love it….“

“I have been taking kickboxing classes at Baxter Karate Dojo for the last seven years and highly recommend them. Each instructor is very qualified. The classes are challenging and the staff has supported me throughout my journey. I intend to continue taking the kickboxing indefinitely.“

“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.“

“Triumph is a fantastic place for children to grow both physically and mentally. A nurturing environment that focuses on enabling kids rather than perfecting them from an early age. It encourages kids to grow and keep practicing. Coaches are excellent; they know how to motivate their students.

Amazing place. And we love to keep continuing.

Highly recommend it if you want your kid to grow in a caring and positively encouraged environment.“

“Coach Orlando and Coach Jay do a fantastic Job in teaching my son Muay Thai and BJJ, they have been teaching my son for a year now. They both have a positive attitude and make the experience fun and challenging for my son to excel.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I (and my son (7 years old) have been training at 5150 for more than a year. This is a truly amazing place and I highly recommend it to anyone. For years, I tried a number of places to continue learning MMA; however, it never worked until I found Professor O'Keeffe. He is caring, thoughtful, skillful, fun, and tough all at the same time, which is a rare combination. He has a contagious love for jiu-jitsu and the innate ability to teach. My son also loves going to train. He has learning valuable skills (on and off the mat), has gained confidence and has fun. Professor Shapiro not only teaches valuable skills but also makes the classes fun and engaging. All and all, my family feels very lucky we found 5150 and recommended it to everyone.“

“This place is amazing.
I thought I was in shape… then I trained with Coach Elvis and realized I’d just been messing around lifting weights. He helped me drop weight, get faster, and feel way stronger. I’m never training anywhere else. The private lessons are super affordable too—especially for Westchester.
Thanks, Coach!“

“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.“

“Great place to train, very knowledgable and experienced judges and everyone else who trains there is friendly and supportive!“

“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.“
