Martial Arts Schools near Dublin

“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 !“

“My son has been training here for about 1 year. The instructors, staff and other members are absolutely incredible. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure everyone feels welcome and included. The instructors are very knowledgeable and tailor training to match the needs and level of each student.“

“Sky Taekwondo has been an amazing experience for my children. Not only are they learning solid self-defense and Taekwondo skills, but Master Terry and his team go far beyond that. They teach discipline, respect, focus, and the right way to conduct themselves in everyday life. I’ve seen a clear positive change in my child’s confidence and overall personality since joining.
Highly recommend Sky Taekwondo to any parent looking for a well-rounded martial arts program with truly dedicated instructors!“

“My son started taking classes at Action Karate in January of 2023. The metamorphosis that we have observed has been nothing short of magnificent. He began as a less than confident boy who remained on the periphery of most situations, and over the past two and a half years, has blossomed into a confident, charismatic, and principled pre-teen with an incredible awareness of his body and mind. He has truly learned the meaning of GRIT. The instruction he has received from this dojo was exactly what he needed to become his best self. The teachers are amazing! There is an excellent balance of compassion and consideration paired with consistency and steadiness of expectations to try your personal best. Now in the midst of working towards his black belt, now more than ever, is he embracing the hard work that is needed to achieve such a great accomplishment with as much support as he needs from the Action Karate Family. This experience will truly change the trajectory of his life!“

“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.“

“Tiger Schulmann’s is an amazing school whether you want to learn martial arts for self defense, to compete as a professional fighter, to attain your fitness goals or all of the above. My experiences here have been nothing but positive. I highly recommend this school for anyone who wants to become the best version of themselves and/or for their children, other family members or friends.“

“Our kiddos love karate! They enjoy learning new moves and seeing their friends each week.“

“Our experience at East West Karate Jamison has been great. My daughters have been training here for over a year, and I can confidently say it's been a transformative journey for them. Sensei Mike, Coach Kellie, and the entire leadership team have created an environment that fosters not only physical fitness but also personal growth. My daughters have learned the importance of discipline, dedication, and respect—values that will serve them well throughout their lives. Thank you, Sensei Mike, Coach Kellie, and the entire team, for your dedication and passion!“

“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 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!“

“My name is Eric, I have trained at CFMA for a good while now (I think 3 years at least). It has been one of the best experiences for me, and became a sort of home as well. Sifu Joe Cargado is very experienced, and a great teacher. He is always trying to learn more to teach his students, it really is a great environment to train in. Also, I have enjoyed training with all of my classmates. It's a great place to learn martial arts, or to just get good exercise! I would highly recommend this place to anyone.Attached is a picture of myself with Rodtang, a famous Muay Thai fighter. Joe invited all kinds of great professionals to give seminars too!“

“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“

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