Martial Arts Schools in Staten Island

“My kids love coming to karate! The instructors are so enthusiastic and make the experience so fun while the kids exercise and learn discipline and respect!“

“We’ve been training here Master Curry Karate Jujutsu Ryu for about two years, and I felt it was time to leave a review. This place has been great for my son Jayden. He’s become more confident, more focused, and much more disciplined. The instructors are patient, supportive, and really know how to work with kids. Jayden actually looks forward to every class, and we’ve seen real progress both in his skills and his attitude. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a solid martial arts school.“

“My son has been going here for about a year and I absolutely love it here. It is the perfect mix of discipline and fun for the kids. They make every child feel confident and strong while teaching new skills. I have watched my timid 3 year old son turn into a more assertive and confident 4 year old. All the instructors are amazing with the kids. We are so happy we sent him here and cannot thank them enough!“

“Our experience has been amazing. My son looks forward to going to his karate classes. The staff is friendly and supportive.“

“This review is long overdue. Professor Mike and Rita, thank you for everything. Your kindness, guidance, and dedication gave me the skills and foundation to become a successful MMA fighter — including winning a championship belt. I still think about the academy and training there often. Even though I’ve moved to New Jersey, I’ll always be grateful for what you gave me on and off the mats. Thank you again.

“Great Instructors. Very knowledgable of what they teach. Excellent BBJ Classes and Instructors. Highly recommend for any age.“

“Wonderful Tae Kwon Do school ::: NY Finest TKD!

The school environment and staff are incredibly positive and motivating. Master Larissa, Master Fiona, and Master Katrell and Master Aiden and Master Steven and all the staff are truly exceptional instructors and people. They each bring their own unique strengths to the class, but each is so committed to the students. Their passion for Tae Kwon Do and their ability to connect with kids is inspiring. They are mentors who not only teach the curriculum but also respect, perseverance, and confidence which is so important.
The school also has parties, summer camps, events, aka Christmas, Halloween, holiday bashes that are SUPER fun and my kid always look forward to going.
We’re so grateful to be part of NY Finest TKD community, and we can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“Great dojo. My son has been here about 8 months and we’re extremely happy with it.

The senseis are the real deal—firm, structured, and clear with expectations, but still patient and great with the kids. There’s a level of discipline here that you don’t see at a lot of places.

What stood out to us right away is that it doesn’t feel corporate or watered down. It’s focused, authentic, and you can tell they care about developing the kids, not just running classes.

We come 3–4 times a week and my son genuinely wants to be there. He’s improved a lot in his judo, but more importantly, his confidence, discipline, and overall attitude have noticeably leveled up.

If you’re comparing schools, this is the kind of place you want your kid in.“

“Very impressed with their training! ? The facility is clean, organized, and professional. The staff is friendly, and the schedule is convenient. Well-deserved 5 stars! ?????“

“My son has been attending classes here for several months. Not only does he love it, but he feels more confident.“

“Have been coming here for years. Took a long break and just got back into it a couple months ago. Competed a placed all times!! Very old school way of teaching. No talking, laughing or fooling around in the class. (Which is a good thing considering you don't want to get hurt). Felix has been doing this for about 30 years and I understand why. I would definitely recommend parents, students to give him a chance. Also, if you're a beginner looking to move up the ladder in the judo world and get into big competitions this is the school for you.“

“Sensei George and Sensei Laura are great!My kids love them! This is the best martial arts school we've ever been to!“

“Huge respect to Master Hilario. By training both our discipline and physical fitness, he has provided unconditional support and encouragement. Highly recommended if interested in learning martial arts!“

“Went here in middle school many years ago, very good memories, it’s a great school. Learning kung fu is definitely one of the best ways to stay healthy and in great shape that could last a lifetime.“
