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 !“

“The masters and the staff here are really good to myself and my daughter. She looks forward to seeing them and her classmates every week. The masters here are awesome and use positive encouragement to continue her training to reach her full potential.

My daughter loves it here. The instructors are amazing, and they are teaching her morals and values along with martial arts. I would recommend this to any child or adult interested in taking up martial arts.“

“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.“

“I am so impressed with this Renzo Gracie jiu-jitsu. My daughter and grandchildren have been going there for seven years. The atmosphere is so cohesive the people are so nice. What a great way to learn how to defend yourself and learn respect for others at the same time. I highly recommend Renzo Gracie for any family.“

“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 am amazed of how well my 4 yr old does in this class! The amount of patience and dedication the senseis have towards the kids are beyond my expectations! That explains why I don't mind having the 30+ min drive to her to her classes bc they make us feel like we part of their family! Def recommended for kids of all ages but just know your kids will leave out of there with full of confidence, respect, and structure ❤️“

“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.“

“This is a great place to learn how to take your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. And learn how to take your limitations and exceed them. Not only that but your classmates your teachers give you that sense of family as well I would recommend this school to anybody that crosses my path“

“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!“
