Martial Arts Schools near Kettering

“The knowledge of the intructors is very in depth and they have lots of experience to share with students.

The classes are engaging and well paced, and the facility is well maintained and clean, which a lot of martial arts schools tend to have trouble with in my experience.

They also have training for anyone interested in competition, as the instructors have many years of competing under their belt :)

Highly recommend for any interested in starting their martial arts journey or looking to continue training.“

“Great place to train! The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging, and I always have a great time. The instruction is top notch with well structured easy to follow lessons and one on one guidance. Coach Chris is a great example of what a coach should be: attentive, passionate, friendly, and he cares a lot about his team. If you’re looking for a great team environment to grow and learn martial arts I can’t recommend Dayton MMA enough.“

“I LOVE TTF. The environment and interior of the building is clean and welcoming. The TTF Team is very cool and understanding.I feel like ever since I got into TTF, my well-being has improved a LOT. If you're thinking of getting into Taekwondo, or even just feeling healthier physically, TTF is the place for you!“

“I had an opportunity to train No-Gi jiu jitsu at SG Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in March 2024. It was a great experience with friendly people. The owner, Sean, was very accommodating and helpful; I had emailed the club info address a week in advance to set things up. Sean responded within a few hours and I was able to make a plan to visit the early Wednesday morning workout. Signing in was quick and easy. Sean was very friendly along with all the students. They were all very easy to work with during the training. The skills training was challenging but taught in a technical way that was easy to grasp. I’d highly recommend SG BJJ to anyone who’s into BJJ or looking to get into it!“

“I'm VERY happy with the work Paul and his team do at ULMA in Centerville! He and his team have done an amazing job tailoring their work to the kiddos- learning/using the kids names, being consistently warm and engaging and demonstrating a lot of the leadership values that they teach the kids. Classes are great, they include plenty of instruction, but also some games, time to get to know the kids, as well as a lesson tied to leadership, etc. I am very impressed with Paul and his crew and glad that we signed up!“

“Sensei Brown is FANTASTIC with our 3 kids (9, 11, 13). His interaction with all of the kids is incredible to see. The kids respect him and love coming to Martial Arts 3-4 time per week. He gives great feedback for improvement and gives incredible energy to their success. They know they have EARNED their success when they test.

We LOVE having our kids at Brown Institute and will continue to have them here for the foreseeable future.“

“I have been attending Tama BJJ classes for several months. The instructors are wonderful and the facility is great. The classes are very informative and have been crucial in growing my BJJ skillset. The classes provide hands-on learning, drills, and live application which are all essential to any BJJ journey.“

“I've been training at Gi Yu Dojo for years, and it's been an incredible journey for me and my family. Both my sons started here as kids, grew into strong, disciplined young men under the guidance of the amazing instructors. The atmosphere is welcoming yet challenging, the techniques are traditional and effective, and the sense of community is unmatched. Hands down the best martial arts school we've ever been part of – highly recommend to anyone serious about training!“

“I had the pleasure of witnessing a local business supporting TNT Midwest Martial Arts today. This wonderful establishment is ran by Mr. Dewitt and his passion to help the youth have a better tomorrow is inspiring! Please check him and his team out if you are interested in self defense training.“

“A true self defense martial art of mind, body, spirit, and character. Not a McDojo. Awesome weapons.“

“Very well trained group of guys and ladies. If you want a real life martial art backed by a thousand years of principles and tradition this is the place for you.“
