Martial Arts Schools near Wexford

“I love the instructors here. You can tell how much love the black belts running the place have for the art and community by how the whole school is ran.“

“My kids have been attending Zang Tkd for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The environment is incredibly fun, friendly, and energetic.

Master Zang is truly exceptional. He’s not only passionate about taekwondo, but also deeply committed to teaching it with care and respect. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. His ability to connect with the kids while maintaining discipline and focus is truly impressive.

Both my children absolutely love coming here, and I’ve seen such positive growth in their confidence, coordination, and focus. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a high-quality martial arts program run by someone who really cares.“

“My daughter is in her 3rd year with North Hills ATA and I cannot say enough good things about the program. She started as a Tiger where she learned the basics and what it means to be dedicate to her commitments. Even on the days when she’d rather play outside than go to class, she would put on her uniform and give it her best. A few months ago she advanced to Karate for kids. The first class was a bit of a culture shock as it became clear she was going to have to work even harder to achieve her goals. The path from Camo Recommended to Camo Decided was an adjustment. She needed to be more dedicated than before, work harder, and practice without instruction using videos at home to memorize her forms. I watched her face the disappointment of leaving class without that third stripe, and watched her sit quietly working through those feelings. She knew that her stripes weren’t going to be given to her, she had to earn them. She practiced and practiced, taking over the living room as we watched Master Wilson do Songahm 5 200 times. Her next class she was called to do her forms and nailed it. The pride she had in her achievement is more than I can ever ask for as a parent. She worked hard for what she wanted and she achieved her goals, receiving her Camo Belt Recommended last night. The North Hills ATA team teaches discipline with kindness. Their tactics and mission are consistent with every instructor. The focus is not solely on the development their taekwondo abilities, but who these kids are going to be when they grow up. My daughter has built immense confidence, learned the value of hard work, and that dedication leads to success. For that, I am eternally grateful.“

“Our family has had such a wonderful experience at ATA Cranberry over the past two years. The instructors are excellent — patient, encouraging, professional, and truly invested in the kids. The environment is positive and supportive, and my son has learned so much during his time there.

I especially want to recognize Ms. Foster, who has worked with my son in private lessons. She is absolutely incredible with him. My son can sometimes struggle, shut down, or become overwhelmed, and Ms. Foster always meets him with patience, kindness, and understanding. She has such a warm and calming presence and always greets him with a smile.

What means the most to me as a parent is the genuine connection she has built with him. He specifically asks for lessons with her and truly looks forward to seeing her each week. That says so much. She makes him feel comfortable, capable, and encouraged, and because of that he has grown tremendously both in taekwondo and confidence.

Watching my son grow in confidence over the last two years has been one of the best parts of our experience at ATA Cranberry. ATA has been such a positive place for building confidence, perseverance, and life skills in addition to taekwondo.

We are so grateful for ATA Cranberry and especially for instructors like Ms. Foster who clearly care deeply about the kids they teach.“

“Our family couldn’t be happier with Gaddis Brothers Martial Arts. Our daughter has been training here for nearly two years. The growth we’ve witnessed has been remarkable, far beyond expectations, not just in her karate skills, but in her confidence, discipline, resilience, focus, self respect, and respect for others.

The instructors create an environment that is equally supportive and challenging, helping each student reach their potential while genuinely caring about who they are as individuals. Sensei John fosters the kind of growth that extends well beyond martial arts. His approach supports building character, perseverance, self-regulation, and confidence in ways that will serve our daughter throughout life by helping her orient who she is, appreciate her full potential, and generally how to be in the world.“

“Great school and Master Dressel is a great teacher for kids and adults. Has both Tang Soo Do and Braizilian Jiu Jitsu. It is a great combination to learn for overall self-defense and martial arts in general.“

“Our 6 year old absolutely loves the Tiger program. He's building confidence, focus, and strength. We took advantage of the $49 4-week special that included a free uniform! It's been a great experience.

Thanks Kaminski's!“

“I’ve been doing martial arts for more than 40 years, and research and write about them from my home in Japan. You won’t find a better place to learn.“

“My son, his wife, and their 3 kids all take lessons in Young Brothers Family Class. They all love it and it's been great in teaching not only a variety of moves to not only protect themselves, but also discipline, honor, and ethics.
The kids are 8, 6, and 4. It's such a wonderful thing to do together as a family. The staff are very, very good with kids and meet the kids where they are.
If I were a little younger and more flexible I'd take the classes with them. We very highly, recommend them.“

“I go to this wonderful school and it is so amazing and i recommend it a lot! It's for children over five and adults. It has kickboxing too! It's great if you want your children to learn self defense. It's also amazing to get your child in line and to learn manners! I heavily recommend this place for you or your child!“

“I practiced at Aikido of Pittsburgh for 25 years, until the COVID19 epidemic moved my family out of town. I will always be indebted to Shihan Masutani and her excellent instructors for their dedication to the future of Aikido.“
