Martial Arts Schools near Colmar

“Amazing experience! My kids have learned so much—respect, focus, and self-defense. The instructors are fantastic and really care about each child.“

“Excellent instructors, very welcoming to beginners and a great room of people to train with. Highly recommend.“

“My child absolutely loves this place! The instructors do a wonderful job keeping the kids engaged and having fun throughout the entire 40-minute class while helping them learn and improve. The facility is also very spacious, giving the kids plenty of room to move around. We highly recommend it!“

“We absolutely love this martial arts school! My kids didn’t enjoy another place we tried before, but here they’re excited for every single class, even after a few months.
The mix of training and character building is amazing. Master Zohar connects with the kids and talks about discipline, resilience, and making good choices, which really carries over into home and school. The classes are very engaging—kids are encouraged to answer questions, participate, and demonstrate different moves, which keeps them involved and builds confidence.
They also have a great reward system that keeps kids motivated to work on positive habits at home and school, and they get recognized and rewarded during class, which my kids really enjoy.
One of my kids is on the spectrum, and we were initially a bit worried, but the instructors have been incredibly patient, supportive, and understanding. It’s made such a difference.
Another big plus is the flexibility and convenience. The schedule is very accommodating, and their app makes it super easy to sign up for classes and check in, making the whole process really seamless for busy families.
We’re so happy we found this place and highly recommend it!“

“My son Declan has been training at Action Karate Chalfont since he was 3 years old. Karate has helped his confidence, respect, and leadership skills. He has really come a long way with his confidence. I remember his first karate tournament - we couldn't get him out on the mat. Now he is comfortable performing in front of big crowds. We feel like family at Action Karate. He is now testing for his Black Belt and we couldn't be more proud.“

“Ever since my 7 year old daughter started, from the very first meeting all the way to her first class i’ve been a really great experience for both of us!!! It’s nice to see the sensei’s and coaches engage with her in activities and actually teach her proper techniques. I’m so glad that we decided to sign Zoe up for East West Karate! I couldn’t be happier with this facility and Zoe is so excited to be there and learn and participate! They are AMAZING!!!! 5 Stars all the way!!!!!“

“Whether you are looking to compete, learn self defense, or just get in shape, this gym will help you reach your goals. Not only do the instructors have immense martial arts experience, but they are also exceptional teachers with the intent to help you reach your individual goals.

If you are looking for a great community of people to train with, while improving yourself mentally and physically, do yourself a favor and give this gym a try.“

“My son has been coming here for 2 years now, and we all love it! The instructors are phenomenal, and in addition to karate, the kids are learning important lessons about goal-setting, standing up to bullying, and self-esteem. We’ve also hosted a birthday party here, which was a blast!“

“I’ve been a member at this gym for over 4 years, training primarily in Muay Thai, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. This isn’t just a typical martial arts gym—it offers training in 10 different styles, so there’s something here for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or experienced.

Over the years, I’ve learned a ton not just from the instructors, but also from my training partners and through my own experiences competing in Muay Thai. The environment pushes you to grow, both physically and mentally, and there’s a strong sense of respect and discipline throughout the gym.

The owner, Joe Cargado, really sets the tone. He’s honest, hardworking, respectful, and always encouraging. He also runs a strict no-ego environment, and he does not take that lightly at all. That culture makes a huge difference—you can train hard, improve, and feel supported without any negativity.

If you’re looking for a place to challenge yourself, learn real skills, and be part of a solid community, I highly recommend this gym.“

“Training with Grand Master Giamo is a life-changing experience.

Exactly ten years ago, I transferred to Eagleville Taekwondo Academy as a thirteen-year-old 3rd Poom. Despite my genetic hypermobility, I lacked the musculature and training to kick above my waist. Master Giamo recognized my untapped potential and took me under his wing.

I am now a 5th Dan. I assist in instructing classes at Eagleville Taekwondo while continuing my mentorship under Master Giamo. His deep knowledge of Taekwondo and exceptional attention to detail have shaped me into not only a better practitioner and athlete but also a better teacher and judge. I will continue practicing Taekwondo for as long as I am physically able.“

“I recently started coming here for Muay thai lessons. I visited a lot of other schools in the area, and have trained for a couple years before taking a break due to pregnancy. I really like this school, because everyone is very down to earth, the instructors John and Sherry are great and make you feel comfortable regardless of your fitness/skill level. Coach John also explains the technical aspects of the sport really well in a way that makes sense. Its clear they truly love the sport! I highly recommend them!“

“I have participated at River of life for 2 years - I am a 74 year old woman and have improved my strength, balance and flexibility. My training was personalized to my abilities and my needs. I attend training 2-3 times per week and feel better after each session. Would recommend this for anyone who would like to improve muscle tone and strength and for techniques to improve safety“

“Elite TOMA is Fantastic! The instructors are skilled, supportive, and truly care about building confidence, discipline, and respect. A positive and welcoming environment, we highly recommend TOMA.“

“Great family friendly dojo. I attend the adult class with my 2 teens and my younger daughter attends the child class. Traditional Japanese karate plus practical self defense“

“We love this place. They helped make my preschooler be confident in a social setting through their little ninja program. They worked with my son to stand up for himself if anyone tries to overpower him with not so friendly intentions. I have seen Sensei Justin kneel down to talk to younger kids and make them comfortable. If any kid is not in mood to go inside for the class they usually come out, talk to the kid, make them comfortable to step in and give importance to that kid to make them feel included.We are excited to be in Youth program. My son was nervous and almost did not want to transition to the Youth classes and in his first class there were no known faces but without even informing the sensei and their helper kids made it very smooth for these younger ninja's to enjoy the experience.This place is the best for karate as well as for birthday party fun !“

“Instructors are great. They show great patience and are very encouraging. Definitely recommended.“
