Martial Arts Schools near Stow

“A quality karate program that focuses on teaching, not bells and whistles. They are here to help you, not make money.“

“Myself and my family have had an excellent experience here thus far. The facility is clean and organized. The owner is very knowledgeable, provides a very balanced curriculum, and is also excellent with my 7-year old. Highly recommended.“

“We've been part of the Zahand's Martial Arts family for a little over, and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment you walk through the doors, you're welcomed into a positive, supportive, family atmosphere.

Doshi, Hanshi, Renshi, all of the Senseis, and the Senpais genuinely care about every child. They take the time to get to know not only each student by name, but their parents as well. The owners truly invest in the well-being and personal growth of every child, celebrating their accomplishments both inside and outside of the dojo. It's clear they care about building confidence, character, and lifelong relationships—not just teaching martial arts.

My daughter also chose to have her birthday party here, and it was absolutely amazing! The staff helped with setup and cleanup, making the entire experience stress-free. A dedicated Senpai kept the kids engaged with fun games and activities the whole time, and every child had an incredible time.

The Zahand family is truly one of a kind. Renshi holds a very special place in my daughter's heart, and I have to give a huge shout-out to Senpai Caleb—he is absolutely AMAZING with the kids! His patience, enthusiasm, and ability to connect with them is something special.

If you're looking for a dojo that feels like family, genuinely cares about its students, and provides an outstanding experience both on and off the mat, Zahand's Martial Arts is the place to be!“

“Builds great character for the kids. Excellent place to train as an adult, respectful and helpful. Can’t ask for anything better.“

“A very fine establishment to have your kids learn some basic tenants of life. Self esteem, discipline, Confidence, and Respect. All very integral parts of life. The sensie and senpai are all amazing, as well as their normal staff. So grateful to have found a place for my children to grow.“

“Very professional & positive! Great for any age. This has been great for my son .“

“This is why l enjoy the school it offers true Chinese martial arts. They also have specialized training in physical conditioning.“

“I enjoy bring my sons here each week. The instructors are very knowledgeable. They have learned a great deal in a short amount of time. Practice is a good mix of fun and disciplined activities. Highly recommended.“

“We love Asian Sun. Our 8 year old has been going to the Hudson location for 4 years now. They are amazing with children & have lots of events to engage them. If your looking to start martial arts I 100% recommend Asian Sun for all ages.“

“I had the honor and privilege to train at the American Karate Academy for over a decade. There is, in my opinion, no better and more legitimate martial arts Academy in the city, and it is one of the best in the state. Hanshi Lee Harris teaches children and adults, in all areas of the arts, from self defense to traditional karate to physical fitness. He has experience with handi-capable students (because a handicap is just another thing to be overcome) as well as attention disorders and physical therapy. I would give this school ten stars if I could, and the highest regards imaginable. If you choose to study or train at AKA, you will leave a better person after a challenging and ultimately fulfilling experience.“

“Mr.Kiraly provides phenomenal instruction and is completely dedicated to providing traditional forms of swordsmanship. Absolutely the best place to learn European fencing and Japanese iadio and kendo.“

“Very engaging with the kids! They make it so the kids learn and also enjoy the class!“
