Martial Arts Schools near Derry

“Great place and AMAZING with even the most difficult kids!! Everyone is so nice, and you are made to feel like a big family.“

“Through GSKC, I've learned the Japanese art of kendo from the most kind, patient, diligent and mindful teachers I've ever had partaking in a martial art. Everyone's a joy to be with here, for that matter. The only kendo club I could find around that's thankfully run by the best folks around. Definitely worth visiting to learn about one of Japan's most popular martial arts from a dojo that forever holds open arms.“

“I reached out to Sensei Nic asking if he would have me as a guest while I was in New Hampshire for work. I train under a very credible Kyokushin school with a strong lineage in Canada. Sensei Nic's training is true to his own lineage and shows a clear grasp of the Kyokushin teachings.I was impressed with his students as well, who showed me great hospitality while I attended training with them, and welcomed me fully.Sensei Nic has a unique approach to developing kumite which I found very challenging as well as novel which I appreciated greatly. His conditioning was almost identical to that which I experienced with my own teachers who developed their methods through long training in Japan. This is a VERY good thing! His kihon practice is strong and adheres to the traditional way, however I found his approach to practical application of Kyokushin to be an excellent blending of tradition and modern self defense. I really enjoyed it - Sensei Nic is one of only a handful of Kyokushin Sensei's who have not only practiced kumite with me, but also grappled! I cannot express the value of this to prospective students of Kyokushin.Overall, I rate this Dojo very highly and look forward to sharing what I could learn to my peers, students and teachers at my home dojo.Thank you Sensei for having me, and to anyone looking for karate - GO HERE. THIS IS GOOD KYOKUSHIN.“

“Aqueous Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the best Jiu Jitsu gym in Bedford New Hampshire and surrounding towns. Whether you are a hobbyist or choose to compete you will feel right at home at this gym. Very friendly and supportive environment. Solid rolls for people looking to improve their jujitsu. Greg is an awesome instructor and explains the techniques in a way that everyone can understand“

“I always wanted to do Taekwondo but as an adult I felt it was too late to start until I found this place. I felt welcomed from the start and fell in love with the place. The owner is a sweetheart and she made me feel at home. The atmosphere is great and I finally found a workout I can be relatively consistent with! I'm a person who gets bored easily so that's saying something that I've been here for a few years now. 1000 out of 10 would recommend!“

“A dojo that feels like home - the most wonderful place for our kids to learn karate. Senseis do an incredible job guiding and encouraging the kids to do better and want to improve. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Our family has been here for almost two years, and we'll never go anywhere else.“

“I didn’t know what to expect when I signed up for the movement group classes but the experience has been amazing. Ken and the rest of the group made me feel welcome and every week we do something different. Ken mixes in his expertise in martial arts with yoga, strength training and meditation. I’ve been able to increase my flexibility, strength and mobility and do things I didn’t think I could. I’ve never felt better. Thank you Ken!“
