Martial Arts Schools near Wayzata

“I have been going to National Karate for most of my life and it's made me strong, disciplined, and confident. It's a wonderful martial arts institution.“

“10 years ago I was in the military and did about 2 years of MMA / BJJ training. I had my first class last week and am extremely impressed.All of the students there seem genuinely interested in learning and improving rather than just hanging out. The instructors are not only extremely knowledgeable, but several of them actually compete in MMA competitions.I've seen them demonstrate some very high-skill techniques, and they're exceptional at explaining what they're doing.Bottom line, there are only a few places in the area to train in MMA, but don't bother with the others. This place is amazing and totally worth it if you want to develop skill in MMA / BJJ fighting styles.“

“My daughter has been attending Master Moon’s Tae Kwon Do for about a year now and we could not be happier with our experience. Not only do the students learn the art of self defense but also learn; discipline, respect of self and others, as well as focus that goes beyond just their Tae Kwon Do classes. My daughter takes such pride in earning each belt and has been extremely proud of having reached the yellow belt level. She has learned that it takes time and hard work to achieve a goal, and that it is all worth it. She is more self confident and is passing on the knowledge she has learned, more specifically the three principles of focus (body focus, mind focus and eye focus), to her academia and other activities she’s involved in.The Instructors are knowledgeable, experienced, and personable, and have used that knowledge to create not only a helpful and safe learning environment, but a warm and inviting one as well. The class may have many students at once, but they are broken into small groups by ability and each student gets a lot of individual attention from the teachers. No matter your level of skill, they are able to communicate their expertise in a way everyone understands. As a parent, I highly recommend joining this class!“

“I just started attending here and am truly blown away by the kindness, communication, and respect of this Gym. The owner Hayden and the coaches are knowledgeable, hard working, and know how to teach. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a gym. Very beginner and experienced friendly.“

“This program has been an incredible boon for our 7 year old. He was struggling with some self-confidence, discipline, and interest in martial arts.Master Hoops orientation not only introduced us to the concepts of taekwondo, but more importantly, their core values and what they teach beyond the techniques.They value respect, discipline, and creating healthy habits in your life. Part of belt progression includes engaging with their teachers and community, family life at home, and practice and routine.Through his lessons, our son has learned to balance his fun with important things and provided us a curriculum and reward system for encouraging him to take on more responsibility and be respectful.The taekwondo skills are great for focusing his body and finding healthy outlets for his energy and strength. I am interested in joining myself to learn alongside him, and they have a family model that encourages that.For the price of the program, you get classes twice a week at your skill level, and equipment is included as you progress and advance. It is an ATA program that teaches Songahm taekwondo to be specific.“

“Awesome awesome awesome!It’s a very good place if you want training for taykando!Very very behaved and polite teachers!A very disciplined and friendly environment inside.“

“DEFINITELY recommend this dojo & location to anyone!!! My son is 7 yrs old has been going since age 5 yrs. He has very high ADHD, along with social anxiety & etc. On day one (just the trial practice) the instructors picked up on his stuff before I said anything to them and did an awesome job.I love that you can pick the classes you want to attend based off work & school schedules and finding less crowded classes. On lower attending days my son would even get just on-one-on training! Master Jones, Master Alsan, Master Sean (& the list goes on & on) are just all naturals at teaching kids (any age) and truly get to know them and the families.Thank you all so much!!!!“

“Grand Master Malone was very thorough with his introduction of his martial arts class instruction and learning! Grand Master Malone is very professional and very respectful to a persons wants and needs! I highly recommend GrandMaster Malones martial arts class to everyone!“

“I’ve been going to Hopkins NK for a while now and it’s really engaging. The instructors are a great combination of nice and critical.“

“National karate has a great karate program that is open to all ages and abilities. One thing that has been great for our family is the way Mr. Hill supports each karate student's individual goals. We could not be happier with the high quality of instruction from all of the Eden Prairie instructors.“

“I joined American Karate Studio in 2008 and I absolutely love it! Such a great environment and very helpful instructors. STRONGLY recommend!“

“I have been going to Dojo Karate for a year and a half with my six year old grandson and have enjoyed it. Learning Karate and great exercise. All of the instructors are great!“
