“NY United BJJ has truly changed my life. I decided to join a class on a whim, and almost two years later it’s become a foundation of my life. Besides what I’ve gained physically, it’s changed my outlook on life, inspiring me to value discipline, commitment and to believe in myself.

Khyl is an amazing instructor. He’s tough and will push you to your limit—no games or excuses here. But he truly cares, so it’s a rare combination of motivation without the harshness.

The team is beyond wonderful . I had no athletic experience at all, and still everyone was so welcoming and willing to help me learn. There’s a sense of deep humility and a pure desire to share with others, regardless of belt level.

I truly have no words to describe what this school has done for me. If you want authenticity, focus and pure drive—this is where it’s at.“

“I started taking my son here a few weeks ago. He is a really, really shy 4 year old who has been struggling with his confidence so I had low expectations when it came to him participating in the class. He has totally come alive in these classes and fully participates the entire time with no tears. He’s even raising his hand to volunteer. His confidence and self esteem are through the roof. Master Lee is amazing with the kids and knows how to get them engaged while also making it fun.“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Edge! I have 2 young children at Edge and they are thriving. Karate, overall, seems great for kids' development, but the team at Edge is extra special.

My children have had Senseis Eric and Jackie and both are really wonderful with young children. My Littles have wildly different personalities, and both are thriving due to the way Edge folks instruct, support, and guide them. The Senseis make the inherent challenge of karate (emotionally) safe and accessible to even young children. We are delighted to continue karate at Edge and tell our friends to come join us!“

“This school has been a great experience for my 11-year old son for the last 2.5 years! He is very fond of Master Sam and is learning a great deal!“

“My son has been attending Tiger Kim's school for a few years now and has really enjoyed his experience. The school is well-organized, communicative with parents, and has created a family-like environment for all its students. It also has a great waiting/seating area where you can watch your kid's class. The Masters train the kids with a healthy balance of discipline and fun and are very supportive and patient. There are also a lot of fun activities planned for the kids during the year like a spring picnic, holiday party, and a Halloween party. In general, I would highly recommend Tiger Kim's Taekwondo school for kids of all ages.“

“Erick Tavares is an outstanding coach. He clearly has the knowledge and experience. When I tried out his class for the first time I was very nervous, but Erick along with the other professors are very welcoming and kind. They're willing to take the time to teach beginners like myself. If anyone wants to learn good quality jiu jitsu from a trained professional, this is definitely the place.“

“My boys have been going to Faustinis for a year and a half and it has been so wonderful. Sensei Lynn and Sensei Brianna are wonderful teachers! Karate has helped my kids with their attention spans and their confidence and has also really helped them learn how to work hard for something. I would recommend this place to anyone with grade-school aged children!“

“Dobbs Ferry Karate's dojo has been an astounding place for growth, confidence-building, maturity, bonding, community and family for our now-first degree black belt since starting out as a white belt at age nine. From skills classes to training, experience as a senpei, weapons training, camp counselor experience and now as a sensei, Dobbs Ferry Karate has become a second home and is as much of a family to our sensei as family can be. The instructors, each with different teaching styles and techniques bring about many different strengths providing a diversity of learning experiences for those wanting to grow. And Shihan Chris is both tough and a guiding light for those who not only want to earn new belts but who also want to really excel and develop excellent standing and relationships with the dojo and staff. Our sensei depends on Dobbs Ferry Karate for a personal outlet, for zen, for exercise, for training, for friendship, and is looking very forward to training for more advanced belts. To top off Dobbs Ferry Karate as a pillar of martial arts in the Dobbs Ferry community, the school is also a fixture in the community offering camps and parent night out events, participating in local activities, and supporting area fundraising activities. Having deep generational roots in the area, this family-owned business is well respected by the community.“

“Master Cha's Summit Martial Arts Tae Kwon Do is really great. My daughter (age 5) was very scared and nervous the first day she went---she did not even want to go inside. Through kindness, humor, and encouragement Master Cha was able to persuade her to try----and she quickly looked forward to class each week. I saw how other children, like my daughter, improved their listening skills, ability to follow direction, and confidence because of Master Cha.“

“In this program my child has developed motor skills such as balance, coordination, agility and above all Discipline that have led him to be champion number ? 1 in multiple tournaments“

“Sir Charles actually teaches the sport to his students, young and old! His pricing is very reasonable!“

“A great sifu can teach you techniques and make you think, but an exceptional one can change the way you think. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from an amazing instructor.“

“Both my sons have been under the tutelage of Shihan Mac Albus since they have been 4 years old. Now in their twenties, my kids have become friends with many of their Kimura Shukokai International peers all over the World. The Pearl River dojo has become an extended family. Studying with Shihan Mac has made my boys confident, compassionate and mature beyond their age. In addition to the international medals they have won, they have become better in school, relationships, and life in general.If you or your children are in need of confidence building, physical health improvement, or want to learn a classical martial art that finds its roots in the original Okinawa masters - there is nowhere better than Mac Albus Kimura Shukokai Karate Center in Pearl River, NY. You will be welcome and will join a very friendly and close-knit community that will become your extended family as well. Goggle does not have enough stars that I can give this dojo that I am fortunate and proud to have in my kids' life.“
