Martial Arts Schools in Greenville

“The training here is excellent for kids and adults. The kids really enjoy the training, and I myself as a Marine love the physical and mental discipline taught here.“

“When we moved to the area this past summer, I visited some martial arts studios in the area and I knew this place was different the very first time I visited. I talked to the owner for quite a while, never felt rushed, and observed a class in progress. I immediately signed my son up.

When a student first enrolls, they come in for a private lessson so that when they join a group class for the first time, they don't feel lost in the flow of the class. My 10-year-old son really appreciated that because he can be a little anxious about new things. We've been attending for a number of weeks now. My son just tested and recieved his yellow belt and is so excited to keep progressing! He never complains about jumping in the car to go or about the drills or exercises. In fact, it's his favorite thing to do during the week!

Sadly reviews are capped at 5 stars. Wish we could leave more!“

“This is a great dojo to train at for anyone wanting to learn about Ki Aikido and getting a taste of not just martial arts but the cultural aspect as well.“

“As a mom of 2 young kids with a full-time job, I joined the Shorindokai in 2024, starting karate for the first time in my life.
Struggling with finding the balance of spending time with my kids in the evenings with taking care of my physical health, my husband and I signed up everyone (38, 38, 5, and 3) as it was a win-win situation with family classes.
After a very short time in Sensei Josh's classes, learning about the philosophy behind the physical moves gave working out a deeper meaning. It's not just about counting steps or miles run. It's about self-discipline, precision, and doing your best (which changes daily and that's OK).
No matter how I feel walking into the dojo, I know after my 45 minutes in there, I will leave feeling worlds better, too.
Shorindokai is a super fun and positive, and you get out what you put in.
If you're having a particularly tough day, I highly recommend signing up your kids for the kids class and watching them warm up- the cutest and funniest jumping jacks you'll ever see.“
