Martial Arts Schools near Delaware

“Thanks to Empower, my daughter has matured, gained more confidence and has found a great support system among the coaches and other kids. Each coach takes the time to truly get to know your child and help them succeed. We have participated in the after school and summer program for nearly a year now and my child looks forward to going every day. We love the different activities offered but most importantly, the family we have gained!“

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with my daughter’s Taekwondo classes! From day one, the instructors have been incredibly patient, encouraging, and supportive. They do an amazing job balancing discipline with fun, which keeps the kids engaged and excited to attend every class.

I’ve seen a huge improvement in my daughter’s confidence, focus, and respect—not just in class but at home and school as well. The structured environment teaches important life skills like perseverance, self-control, and teamwork. The instructors truly care about each child’s progress and take the time to make sure every student feels included and valued.

The classes are well-organized, energetic, and age-appropriate, making learning both effective and enjoyable. I highly recommend this Taekwondo program to any parent looking to help their child build strength, confidence, and character in a positive and supportive environment!“

The classes are well-structured, engaging, and maintain a perfect balance of fun and discipline. The instructors make sure every child feels included and motivated to do their best.“

“My son has been going to Polaris TKD for a year now and absolutely loves it. The structure, teaching, and discipline has been great. The confidence that he has gained is extremely valuable. Not only has he been given the opportunity to learn something new, but it has also assisted him in other sports especially with the increased flexibility and focus that’s required. He has also joined the competition class and has gone to several tournaments which have provided great memories for my son. Highly recommend Master Baker and the Polaris TKD family.“

“Prof Chitwood and his team are welcoming, beyond knowledgeable in all ways BJJ, and the training exceptional. I could not be more happy with the training Prof Chitwood and his team are providing. If you are considering learning BJJ, and want to grow in your confidence and ability to defend yourself and your loved ones, Team Chitwood Martial Arts & Fitness is the place to accomplish those goals. Would HIGHLY recommend!“

“Love this school! As a business owner I am particular about the work I do and always expect the best results. So happy to have found a school with the same values and expectations. Yes, I am an adult participant, and attended for a short time while in school in the area. I was looking for a great workout and the benefit of self defense skills was a plus. Also, being new to the area, I enjoyed the Village TKD family events.It is a family business with over 30 years of combined experience. They LOVE what they do and always keep it interesting with new workouts, relays and practice skills. Their fees are reasonable compared to other schools. And, they have multiple class times available during the week.Don't wait!!! Start now. I wish I would have 30 years ago or more....“
