Martial Arts Schools near Sammamish

“Amazing people, especially Mindy, Master Park, and all the young teachers who work there! Very caring towards the students and thoughtful about attending to individual needs while managing groups of students that contain multiple different grades and sizes!

I especially appreciate their focus on behavior and social-emotional development. I feel like my boys have become more responsible and cooperative since joining the program.

I also like the relatively rapid pace of advancement. I initially felt judgey about the kids earning stripes and belts so quickly, but that pace of reward has actually kept them highly motivated. And, now with the advantage of hindsight, I think the belt changes have reflected their advancements in skill and technique.

Overall, highly recommend!!“

“Wonderful instructors and a great community. Highly recommend True Martial Arts Sammamish!“

“The absolute best experience for my daughter. She has gained so much in a short time. Confidence, skill, respect. And master Gilbert is an amazing instructor.“

“Excellent Jiu-Jitsu program. Amazing instructors, a positive environment, and a great impact on our daughter’s confidence and discipline. Highly recommended!“

“If you’re looking for a strong martial arts program, Miller’s Martial Arts Academy has been a great fit for my family. I have two kids enrolled, and the instructors are both highly skilled and genuinely good with children.

What I appreciate most is that they go beyond technique. They incorporate lessons on respect, self-control, and resilience in a way that feels natural and meaningful.

My kids enjoy going, and I’ve noticed positive changes in their confidence and overall behavior since they started.“

“The coaches and professors are incredibly knowledgeable while creating a genuinely welcoming atmosphere for everyone on the mats. Whether you’re brand new to jiu-jitsu, training recreationally, or competing at a high level, this gym offers an exceptional environment to grow. They also offer multiple dedicated women’s classes each week, along with both gi and no-gi training. Highly recommend for anyone looking for high-level instruction with a strong sense of community.“

“My son Aviraj joined this place when he was 3. He just turned 5 and got his Tiger Tot black belt. I am absolutely floored by the coaching offered in the tiger tots class. I have seen drastic differences in Aviraj’s confidence, mobility, reflexes etc in the last 2 years. The teachers, specially Ms Anvi, invest deeply in the 30 min class in helping and mentoring these children to be best version of themselves. Very compassionate, very understanding and super talented group of teachers. This place rocks“

“Master Kim has been a fantastic mentor and influence for our son. He is both serious and caring for our son’s whole growth physically, mentally and emotionally. While it has only been about 2 months our son is excited to attend class and is beginning to bring his class lessons home and into his everyday life. We are excited to see how are son will grow in Master Kim’s Little Dragon program.“

“Master Lim is really great with the kids and looks like he belongs in BTS. My girls have learned to be a lot more assertive after starting TKD here and I would highly recommend!“

“We are so thankful to have found Professor Jessica and her team. T3MA is an outstanding program that helps build physical, mental and spiritual strength. Highly recommended for kids and adults.“

“I've been to numerous martial arts spots and compared. I speak from the most genuine place when I say that the instructor truly matters. Levi is that instructor. You can tell it is a true passion for him and that every single student matters when he is teaching. It's not just instruction for the class as a whole but he really takes his time to go around with each student to ensure that their form is proper as well as making sure they are involved individually. The best part of the class is when Levi takes the time to sit the students down and shares relatable stories which contributes to topics such as self confidence, bullying and overall how to be a good human in today's society. It's more than just your typical martial arts class; it's a family.

Keep up the great work Levi, you're one of a kind and thank you for the impact you make on these kids.“

“I love this place! It is clean, pleasant and suitable so that we can observe our children from a small box.
David started classes 2 weeks ago and is very happy with everything he has learned. It is worth mentioning that even without speaking English well and his physical limitations, they have been patient and have taught him much more than he expected; Something important that I would like to mention is that my son is used to discipline and loves what he does; We have weight loss goals for him and this is definitely working for him, I am sure he is in good hands.“

“Weve had nothing but awesome experience over many years, staff is attentive, really putting lot of effort into quality and making sure kids train hard buy also have fun. I absolutely recommend to anyone.“

“Despite having graduated from high school and only being able to come back to the dojo on weekends during college, I still look forward to going every week. This is the one place that hasn’t changed while everything else is changing like crazy. It’s a place that always feels like a safe space to come back to.“

“Great place to learn Judo, they are friendly with classes for adults and kids, all levels are welcome and mats are great too.“

“An incredible dojang with decades of experience, wisdom and practical knowledge to offer.
After a 5-year break from martial arts, I signed up for Conqueror Hapkido's adult classes to see if I could get back into the rhythm of training again; I entered motivated but very nervous about whether I would be able to keep up. Luckily, this tight-knit group of masters and instructors accommodated for me without batting an eye, and I've felt very welcomed since, even with my slower learning pace compared to the other students.

This school has a very strong focus on practical/effective self-defense and (at least compared to schools I've attended in the past) a VERY affordable tuition-- making it a unique gem amongst the other schools in the area. If you are looking to train martial arts earnestly for the sake of protecting yourself and others, I highly recommend learning here.“

“Amazing company. Master Park and his team are wonderful. They make taekwondo for kids enjoyable, while teaching them essential skills. Thank you!“

“Bellevue Kendo is incredible. This is no "black belt mill" - you actually have to earn your advancement. It's run by Jeff Marsten (well known in Kendo) and his crew of senseis.If you want personal challenge and serious growth, or a place for your kids where they are driven and worked hard - this is it.What you get for the price is truly incredible - it must be subsidized by the city.“

“If you're looking for a welcoming and supportive martial arts community, look no further!! Everyone I've met here has been nothing short of kind and supportive!

The Enso Center is truly staying to become a second family and one of the few non-Seattle freeze environments I've experienced while being out here. I couldn't recommend it more!!!“

“Contramestre Jaba is an amazing, dedicated and patient teacher. His classes are technical, to help learn proper form, high energy, an excellent workout, and lots of fun. Group has kids classes as well as adults. Group is not meeting Renton, but in north seattle. Love this place!Jena Peterson ND seattle“

“This Dojo is TOTALLY SWEET like a thunder cloud ready to explode in an intense rain of fury !“
