“AMA has been so good for our son. Eliminating fear and instilling confidence has been our experience.
Instructors are thorough and focus on development while also giving the students opportunities.
I encourage anyone looking to sign up their children to Martial Arts classes to come to Achieve Marital Arts.“

“My son and daughter have been attending Master Kim's Scarsdale Taekwondo for about a year now, and I am so glad we started. They’ve tried other sports, but Taekwondo is by far their favorite. It’s wonderful to see them enjoying it so much and always trying their best. What I love most is the instructors—you can tell they truly love kids, and they teach with so much energy and friendliness. I am incredibly satisfied and highly recommend this place!“

“A fantastic place for your child to learn and grow as a dancer! They have such a wonderful and welcoming community there.“

“Amazing school! 10/10 I recommend. My 2 boys have been attending this school for 5 years now. They are black belts competing in multiple tournaments here in the local area as well as internationally in South Korea and winning 1st and 2nd place multiple times. They are an extension of our family and I would recommend over and over again!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I have been coming to Dynamic Martial Arts Family Center in Greenwich for a couple of months now. I really enjoy the awesome training and fun challenges that my instructors give me. I’ve achieved my black belt in Shotokan karate prior to joining. Due to this, I was able to keep my rank, and begin my training towards my next black belt! ? Martial Arts has been a positive impact in my life, especially as a child learning life skills, discipline, and confidence! I recommend to anyone that’s thinking of putting their kids in Martial Arts, to sign them up at Dynamic Martial Arts Family Center, today!“
