Martial Arts Schools near Norwalk

“Eric trained my daughter and man is he great! Highly recommend for anyone who's interested in Krav!“

“Been taking my brothers here for about two years. They were acting up before but since coming here they've calmed down a bit. They know not to use what they learn in starting fights and only use it for self defense.Everyone who teaches here is very welcoming and encouraging.Don't think twice about signing up your younger relatives for classes. Especially since the schools don't do anything when they're getting picked on in school. And are only there when your sibiling/child finally defends themselves.“

“Amazing Taekwondo Master KJ. His students have won gold medals in State, Regional, and National competitions. My daughter makes great friends also.“

“I highly recommend this school. Learn life, and social skills from best master, Master Jang!!!!“

“We attended a trial via referral for our 6 year old. Sensei Palardy and Boyd are phenomenal with the children. It is intimating to find a place with patient and compassionate teachers. Little ones will be little ones. In just 4 classes, our little guy made tremendous progress, and enjoys the class. They find a nice balance between fun, discipline, and learning. They are also very fair and flexible with the pricing and onboarding. Very happy with the program and highly recommended.“

“After having our son enrolled at 2 other karate studios in 2017 and finding that neither were a good longterm fit, we found our way to SDSS. The other studios just didn't feel right. We were looking for a facility where we could see our family for years to come. Our (now) 5 year old son is obsessed with martial arts, and the other studios were lacking structure, community, and that perfect balance of both positivity and discipline. Mr. Alex (the main instructor) has a solid curriculum. The kids have fun, get a great workout, and learn about respect and focus. He does a great job at reminding the younger students to raise their hands before speaking, not interrupting others, and using their patience. Nearly everything Alex focuses on in the studio bleeds into how one needs to act within a community (general sense, school, etc.), and even within a family unit. While in martial arts your main focus is yourself, and working on your own personal best, Alex also touches on the importance teamwork with the kids. We also love how enrollment includes in just the group classes, but a weekly semi-private class as well. Our son has been enrolled at SDSS for nearly a year now, and I see no end in sight. In fact I've enrolled myself in the adult program. We're at the studio 4-5 per week. It's practically our 2nd home. SDSS in Westport is hands down the best martial arts studio in the area. We're really thankful for the sense of community that Alex has fostered at the studio, and the activities he has organized outside of class. (Summer water fight at the beach, camps, and even free parties.) Bonus: It's across the street from both Starbucks and Barnes & Noble. Great places to kill time on days when you need a little break while your kid is in class.“

“I have been here for over 5 years now. Since then, I have learned so much and am now a first-degree black belt. I started when I was 8 years old. It changed my life better than anything in the world could ever do for me in my lifetime. It can change yours too.“
