Martial Arts Schools near Tualatin

“My son has ADHD and we hadn’t found an activity that he could excel at while staying engaged, until Master DJ and Tualatin TKD! In less than a year my son has moved up 3 belts because of his focus and attention to detail with the trainings! That is all thanks to DJ and his patience with kids and understanding when neurodivergent kids need a little extra grace. My son feels successful and absolutely loves coming to class! He would come 7 days a week if possible. This location treats everyone like family and treats all people with kindness and respect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“For the last four years, since my three kids started classes at Murrayhill Martial Arts, I have noticed considerable improvement in their lives with increased self-confidence, developed self-discipline and seem better skilled in self-defense should there be an imminent threat in school or in daily lives. Not to forget, the Belts earned.
I love that Master Kaari is strict about the rules of her dojo, does not allow distractions with the kid’s goals. She controls the class environment and maintains order, something that us parents need help with at home.
The coaches and instructors are very engaging. My kids love, love, love Coach Neela, Paige and the super talented, Coach Sophia, who makes a strong impact as a coach and trainer. Thank you so much for your diligence in all you do for kids and parents.

Summer camp service during holidays and no school days are very helpful. Stops the craziness of finding a babysitter while we are at work.
Saturday Parents Night Out are such a treat for kids and parents. Kids can be dropped off just for a fun party night while parents can go on a date till 9pm. Basically, babysitting while parents have some time alone.

Thank you for just being there for us!!!!“

“As a student who goes to lee’s martial arts academy, I think it is a great place to learn taekwondo and a greater place to make friends. It also teaches lots of core values such as respect, Courtesy, and perseverance. These skills are what have helped me succeed in my daily life and other sports.“

“US World Class Taekwondo Tigard has been PHENOMENAL for my 6year old son! We started when he was 5- coming 3x a week, and he’s learned so many wonderful skills! the instructors make it so fun and equally educational. We look forward to attaining each new belt level & highly recommend!“

“My 7yr old has been doing karate here for about a month and already seeing huge improvements with his ability to sit still during class time at school and handling transitions and new chore routine. He gets a great workout, is learning patience & discipline and building his confidence and core strength! He can’t wait to earn his stripes on his belt. Highly recommend this studio“

“I’ve been going there to workout for 2 years. I’m currently a purple belt. The instructors are all really friendly helping out with Taekwondo for all ages, they have classes for little kids to middle aged people and beyond. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My son and daughter have been attending the West Linn since early 2019. Sensei Ward has been a great role model for our children in teaching them discipline as well as the art of Aikido. Couldn't be happier.“

“This is one of the main places I train, and I can't recommend it enough. This is the Impact headquarters, and it is where most of the higher belts in the Impact family train. Every class will have a high number of Brown/Black belts, and there are a lot of competition black belts. Michael Chapman, the head Black Belt, received his Black Belt from Chris Hauter, who is one of the dirty dozen. He's a 5th stripe black belt, and has been training jiu jitsu since 1991. You will rarely find a BB with the experience and knowledge Michael brings to the table. The gym is very large, very clean and very friendly. They have a lot of options in regards to classes with BJJ, MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai and Conditioning being a few of them. They offer a free week trial so you can get the feel of the gym and the vibe of the people. I'd highly recommend it.“

“I can’t say enough good things about MUSA Martial Arts. Master Lacey and Team have been instrumental in providing a safe haven for the community. Master Lacey and Team are skilled and also genuinely care about the development of each child. I’m proud to share that my children have gained confidence, discipline, and respect through their time at Musa.
The nurturing and fun environment encourages them to push their limits and strive for to be their best. I’ve seen remarkable growth in their physical abilities and personal character since we joined. I highly recommend Musa Martial Arts to any parent are caregiver looking for a supportive and enriching experience for their children!“

“Incredibly welcoming, good community. I'm so glad I found them starting out as a 41 year old woman with 0 experience!“

“David has been my trainer in boxing and muay thai for about a year and a half now and I cannot recommend him and his gym enough. Great group instruction and great 1-on-1 advice and correction from a trainer who has a wealth of experience. Pad work, bag work, shadow boxing, footwork drills, and light sparring--you'll do it all in this humble but functional gym. David has also trained champion fighters for those interested in competitive fighting, though there is no pressure for students to fight, and sparring with the other students is very safe and positive. Always a great workout. I've trained at Portland Thai Boxing and at gyms in Arizona and abroad, and Kilian's is subtly the best in my experience.“

“We took our daughter here for a trial class today, and it was fantastic! Master Lee was great with the kids. He kept them engaged with fun activities while also implementing proper form and values. He made us all feel welcome, and we decided this was the right place for our daughter.“

“Still going strong and accepting new students!I was lucky enough to find Ferrito Martial Arts about 3 years ago, it's been a blast. Instructor Ferrito is a wonderful teacher, during busy classes managing to be able to give one on one instruction on a wide range of techniques. I have found Instructor Ferrito to be a very patient teacher whether he is working with a beginner adult or a blue belt pre-teen, he fits his teaching to the student.This class has been great at giving me a good work out while providing vital self defense techniques. Farang Hapkido uses an effective mix of joint locks, strikes, grappling, and weapons to develop a self defense style that can work for any body type and is flexible enough to be adapted to any situation.I feel fortunate to have found a martial arts family with this school.“

“My kids love Ki Aikido training with the senseis in Hillsboro Dojo. They are all volunteers but very dedicated to the students. It could be a little boring at first for the kids, but once they are into it, they love it. I also like the fact that they teach them about focusing, relaxing, cordinating mind and body and how to deal with difficulties in school and in life.You are treated like family here.“

“Learned self defense. Nice instructors, had a friend try it out and they welcomed him like as if he had actually been taking the class.“

“As a parent and spectator at Ascent Martial Arts for two years, I had the pleasure of watching my daughter grow and thrive in such a supportive, family-focused environment. The sense of community is undeniable, and everyone genuinely enjoys their time there. It was so inspiring that I decided to join the class myself—and I couldn’t be happier with the decision! The experience has not only been a lot of fun but also a fantastic way to stay active. Whether you're watching or participating, Ascent Martial Arts makes you feel like part of the family. Highly recommend!“

“It's been great so far to find someone who pays attention to the students and shows them useful techniques that are also fun to learn.“

“Discovering Choi's Tae Kwon Do in Beaverton, Oregon, was a turning point in my extensive martial arts journey. With over 50 years of Tae Kwon Do practice under my belt and having earned a 4th-degree black belt, I've had the privilege of training at more than 10 schools across the globe. Yet, it is at Choi's Tae Kwon Do where I've found a truly unparalleled experience.

What sets Choi's Tae Kwon Do apart is not just its rigorous adherence to the traditional values and techniques of the martial art but its commitment to fostering a community where respect, discipline, and personal growth are paramount. The instructors at Choi's demonstrate an exceptional blend of expertise, passion, and patience, ensuring that every student, regardless of their age or level, receives personalized attention and guidance.

The classes are well-structured, balancing physical conditioning, technique drilling, and sparring, all while maintaining a fun and supportive atmosphere. This approach not only enhances your physical capabilities but also deepens your understanding and appreciation of Tae Kwon Do's philosophy and history.

Moreover, the facilities at Choi's Tae Kwon Do are top-notch, offering a clean, spacious, and safe environment for training. The school also regularly hosts seminars, tournaments, and special events, providing ample opportunities for students to challenge themselves, showcase their skills, and connect with the wider Tae Kwon Do community.

Having experienced various Tae Kwon Do schools, I can confidently say that Choi's Tae Kwon Do stands out as a beacon of martial arts excellence. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the world of martial arts, Choi's offers an enriching, empowering, and enjoyable journey. It's more than just a school; it's a family united by the love of Tae Kwon Do.“

“Our family has had a great experience with Mata Leao. Omar’s experience and qualifications are so high that you know you’re learning from the best. He is also incredibly kind and patient with kids, and puts the emphasis on having fun.“

“Our 10 year old daughter has been taking classes here for about 6 months or so and we absolutely love it. She looks forward to going every week. Jordan & Ben do a PHENOMENAL job keeping the kids wrangled & engaged during class and steering every interaction into a teaching moment, even if the kids start getting rambunctious. They practice alot on actual breaks and holds that can be useful in real life situations and teach the importance of de-escalation strategies before responding with any measure of force. But then teach practical self defense skills when physical confrontation is unavoidable. Jordan & Ben are great with the kids, very patient and do an excellent job making sure the classes are always fun for them. We have tried a few other martial arts styles/programs and this one has been hands down our favorite for our kiddo.“

“Excellent gym! I've been taking muay thai here for almost half a year and can clearly see how skilled and articulate the instructors are. FYI some of them even compete!They are welcoming to people of all backgrounds and experience levels, they take time drilling in fundamentals (important!) and they put SAFETY before everything. Pricing is very reasonable and class time is spent very well!“

“This studio has been life changing for my 5 year old son. The coaches strike an amazing balance of being flexible and kind to the kids while also holding an expectation of good effort and good attitude. Coach Tom and Coach Dan in particular have such a good grasp of childhood development. My son has been here a year and started out not even able to make it through a class session without a meltdown due to being shy or having big feelings. But with patience and persistence, the coaches helped him week by week and now a year later he is confident and happy and loves going to class! Going to 5 rings is one of the best things we ever did for our son. 10/10 recommend.“
