Martial Arts Schools near Indian Land

“Such a great place, has a kind and caring group and has great timing for classes. I love all the new friends I have made and am grateful to join.“

“We were lucky enough to win a birthday party through a school raffle, and it was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had. Master Howie and the entire staff were absolutely amazing, they were high energy, professional, and kept the kids fully engaged from start to finish.
Since it was a martial arts party, the kids got to try out some moves, and the absolute highlight was breaking boards. My son and his friends are still talking about how great it felt to do that! The staff also handled the logistics perfectly, setting up a wonderful table with pizza and decorations. If you want a fun, high energy, and stress free celebration, I can't recommend USK Martial Arts enough!“

“This is a wonderful authentic Martial Arts school. From the moment I took the trial lesson I knew I was in the right place. It was exactly what I was looking for. A school with a passionate teacher (Sifu David) that passes on his valuable knowledge in a compassionate, individualized manner, adjusted to each student's level, strengths and weaknesses. A great leader that inspires you to strive to reach your goals and gets the best out of you. The students are welcoming and very helpful. They share their knowledge as well and support you in your path. It's a wonderful community. The perfect place to learn Tai Chi and Kung Fu from a body, mind and spirit perspective. Highly recommended!“

“I am a Black Belt at US Tae Kwon Do Colony Place. It is a great place if you want your children to learn valuable qualities such as honesty, integrity, and perseverance. Even the parents can join too for a fun experience with their children and also to learn basic self defense. The kids are very nice and helpful and Master James is very kind and helpful as well. You will learn how to stronger, smarter and know how to get out of tough situations if needed. The classes mix in fun games with tough training and knowledge. Overall this is one of the best businesses I have ever participated in. This is a fun and awesome place and I highly recommend it to any parents looking for extracurricular activities for their child.2nd Dan Black Belt“

“Our now 10 year old child signed-up with Master Wilson’s studio just after their 5th birthday. Though we moved out of Charlotte after 2 years, we continued to make the drive twice weekly. FOR 3 YEARS!! Sadly, this year, with our schedules filling-up, we had to say “farewell” as the commute became difficult for us.Master Wilson and his instructors were a great pleasure to work with - as both mentors and friends. Our hope is that we find a studio like this in our area. (Still searching!)“

“Master Stock is a fantastic instructor. He makes Tang Soo Do accessible and rewarding for everyone, emphasizing both technique and character. His classes are challenging, fun, and build real confidence. A true master teacher!“

“My daughter started here when she was 12, and has been taking for almost 2 years. She has met so many great people and friends and it has really helped with her self confidence. She loves that they incorporate karate, self defense, wrestling skills, and other things! Last fall my 6 year old son begged me to start letting him take classes too, so he’s been going ever since. He has a blast while learning all kinds of “ninja” skills. Everyone working there is so nice and great with all ages of kids. I highly recommend giving them a try if you’re looking for a martial arts studio either for ongoing classes or birthday parties etc. they really know how to teach, engage and entertain!“

“Nick St. Clair’s taekwondo studio is an incredible asset to the community. His instruction goes far beyond physical training—he emphasizes self-discipline, personal awareness, and practical self-defense in a way that truly resonates with students of all ages. What stands out most is his ability to tailor both teaching style and expectations to each age group, modeling appropriate behaviors and skills every step of the way. The environment is welcoming, engaging, and consistently encouraging. It’s clear this small, locally owned studio is built on passion, integrity, and a genuine commitment to student growth.“

“I would highly recommend SMA academy. My daughter is been attending SMA from past 3 years and it has really helped her a lot in terms of discipline, building confidence and keeping up with physical activities. I really liked how they teach kids to stay safe away from strangers.

Sensi Joshu and Desi’s (teachers) at dojo are very dedicated and teaches kids from heart.“

“My daughter began her Taekwondo journey nearly four years ago, and my son has been training for the past two years. From day one, our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. A heartfelt thank you to Master, Ms. Taylor, and the entire team for their unwavering dedication, patience, and genuine care for every student.
Their flexible scheduling, encouraging teaching style, and positive, family-friendly environment have played a significant role in building our children's confidence, discipline, and character. We are truly grateful for the support and guidance they provide every step of the way. We highly recommend this Taekwondo school“

The instructors are amazing with the kids and know how to keep them engaged, make the classes fun, and still teach discipline and confidence at the same time. You can tell they really care about their students in the way you see them interacting with one another.“

“I remember the first time I came to TMA when I was looking to get back into Ju Jitsu. I spoke with Amanda on the phone and she made me feel welcomed and assured me that my past negative experiences at certain gyms would not be felt here. She was completely right. On my first class, Coach Ahmed knew my name by the end of the night and had a genuine interest in getting to know me and pushing me to be the best BJJ athlete I can be. Everyone else was coming up to me and getting to know me as well and it felt very authentic. TMA cares about you as a person which translates to a great big family as well as the best ju jitsu school I have been to so far. I used to quit because I felt like I had no direction and no interest from training partners in a teamwork progression - but TMA completely broke this pattern for me. If you are looking to get really good at Ju Jitsu as well as have a family of people that care about you, TMA is the place to be. Thank you Coach Jae for such a great school!“

“My son loves going to Reeds! He has made friends and gets to do all kinds of activities each day! There are optional classes you can enroll in as well. My son loves the counselors too. Its overall a positive atmosphere and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a camp or after school activity!“

“What a great place to train Coach Sean teaches with a passion. The staff is very welcoming with everyone that walks in.“

“My son has been going to Karate Charlotte for over a year now and he truly loves it! I’ve seen a tremendous increase in my son’s confidence, discipline, focus, and respect since he started training here. The instructors do an excellent job of challenging students while creating a positive and encouraging environment where everyone feels supported.

I highly recommend KC to any parent looking for a program that helps children develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. We are grateful to be part of such a wonderful karate family!“

“You are paying for total immunity from the terrifying realities of modern grappling. They do not allow leglocks here, if someone touches your foot and you feel uncomfortable for ANY reason, they will be arrested on the spot. I love it. They help me feel like a ninja with no risk!“

“Dear Leadership MA, thank you for making Sara a leader in a happy place where she and her friends learn about sportsmanship, respect, and integrity.“
