Martial Arts Schools near Bay Shore

“I can’t express enough gratitude for the incredibly positive impact sensei Rob and sensei Paula have had on my life. The physical, mental and spiritual growth I’ve experienced and have observed in other students at the Heijoshin Dojo is extremely profound. They are such selfless teachers and mentors, dedicating so much time and energy to empowering their students. Having known them for more than 20 years, I encourage everyone I know to explore this school at any stage of life. You can recognize one of their students by the way they carry themselves, respect others, and act in support of the communities they’re involved in“

“This is my son’s first group/sport/extra curricular activity and I have to say I couldn’t be happier. The staff is amazing with the kids! The instructors have a great way about them making the classes fun while teaching them important skills. My son is shy and emotional and no matter what mood he’s in they get through to him and get him to participate in the class. I highly recommend Raijin for parents looking for an activity for their kids.“

“I have been training at Jiu Jitsu Modern for alittle over three months now, in that time I have had an incredible experience. I recently moved to the Babylon area and do not know many people, but Jiu Jitsu Moderns has changed that. Not only have I gained confidence in my abilities, but I am now apart of an amazing community of people that push me to be the best version of myself. If you're looking to start training jiu jitsu and your in the area, Jiu Jitsu Modern is the place to go.“

“Amazing teachers who truly teach and live the martial arts kung fu lifestyle. Instructors Rik and Shue are two of the most honorable, ethical, generous and compassionate people I know. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone looking to make themselves the best they can be, and especially for children who will benefit immensely from these vital skills as they navigate our challenging and ever-changing world. Ten Tigers Kung Fu will provide them with a strong foundation for future success.“

“Our family has been part of the Tiger Shulman’s Huntington studio for 2 years. This experience has been beyond my expectations of when I first sat down with Sensei Castillo to talk about enrolling my child. At the time I was thinking ‘This will help my child face the bus bullies’. Two years later, I can see that what Sensei has given my family goes way beyond my first thought.My review is lengthy. Here are the highlights:1) Sensei Castillo is a truly gifted and exuberant instructor. His energy, wisdom and love permeate the entire studio.2) I have seen my child grow physically and mentally. This new growth is manifested in and outside the studio. In a nutshell: my child is genuinely thriving in life.3) This studio has a warm and welcoming community. And it is spotless clean.5) I was inspired to join the studio and I love it.This studio is owned by Sensei Castillo. He deeply cares about every single person that walks into his studio. This includes all his students and their parents. Moreover, Sensei expertly oscillates between his young students and his older students, keeping his energy constant and to the level of his student. Among the many valuable traits Sensei has is true genuine discipline, which radiates throughout the whole studio. He leads by example. He leads with true love. And he holds the bar deservedly high for everyone to rise and thrive and feel proud. I have seen my child become more mature and attain more self-control and self-love. This was illustrated when my child shared with me how to persist in a difficult physical game: “I kept telling my body positive things to keep going.” These words solidified our commitment to maintain our child learning with Sensei.Sensei micromanages his entire studio. It is impeccably clean and organized. His coaches are trained and monitored by him to preform like him teaching his students. He also is the studio manager, membership administrator, and schedule coordinator. The studio culture is warm and welcoming. Everyone says hi and are happy to see you. It is almost like the show Cheers, but with punching bags. And this is what inspired me to join the studio.My child inspired me to try this studio. Here is how this unfolded for me. I have been active my adult life participating in a plethora of fitness programs. At this point in time something was missing in my fitness need: a sense of community. When I first tried a kickboxing class, I felt so inadequate and weird, and embarrassed. I am a fit person, but I was surprisingly uncomfortable in the studio with other students. So, after that first class I did not go back. Sensei let me be. He was gently waiting on the mat for me to be ready to come back. Months passed by and an email came announcing a 60 day challenge. And with the mind set of “I am changing to be uncomfortable” I returned to the mat to embrace the uncomfortable. Oh boy, I stink at this kickboxing thing. I am the most uncoordinated person in the world, and it takes me a long time to teach my limbs how to move. But, in this new uncomfortable space I have found growth. And I love my adult beginner kickboxing class. First, Coach Antony is a good fit for me. He is a baseball athlete, and he does excellent explaining and demoing the moves. Second, it is at 6 am. I love starting my day punching and kicking and then I can go on with my day and not have to think about: “I have to do my workout”. And my classmates are a pleasure to train with and I look forward to seeing them and punching with them. And it is quite refreshing to do an activity that has a lot of male energy.In summary, this martial arts studio is a gem. Children and adults convey on the same mat to learn and teach the art of being peaceful, which comes when you can defend yourself and hold your ground. Moreover, this studio is populated with members that deeply care for each other and are constantly nourishing their growth as individuals in the community. This studio empowers their members to thrive on and off the mat.“

“I do want to thank you Shihan, Renshi Ryan and all the staff at LI Ninjitsu. My son and I are very happy we found this program. I am already recognizing an improvement in his self esteem, his willingness and eagerness to try more tasks independently, and hopefully we continue to work on listening skills and focus. I wanted my son in a program like this, to surround him with positive male role models, structure, respect, determination and discipline. We have only just recently started but I am already seeing what this program can do for my child and the long lasting positive influence it will have on him. ?“

“We love Dragon Gate. We've been bringing our son here for about 5 years and he's grown both as a martial artist and a person.Scheduling is very flexible to fit any schedule. The students can still participate in other activities very easily while still coming 2-3 times a week.Shihan Mike and his team of Senseis do a great job of teaching discipline and skill without screaming at the kids. It's truly a great environment for kids to learn a skill, build confidence and grow.“

“Chris and his team are great with young kids. Positive, fun, patient instructors. My little guys have learned great life skills, progressed with techniques, and built confidence all while getting some exercise in a supportive environment. They’re very creative and have lots of fun activities for the kids in addition to Taekwondo - very positive community to join in the neighborhood. Thank so much!“

They offer classes multiple days a week and no two classes are the same. My son loves it and looks forward to going.“

“Ive been training at this gym since I was 8 years old. Theres not a better MMA gym around. Long Island MMA has the most experienced instructors who will help you reach whatever goals you have. There is tons of space in the gym and there is no equipment that they don’t have on hand. I love this gym, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Been training here off and on for years now and I always wind up coming back. The coaches are great, the gym itself (both locations) are always clean and welcoming, and the classes are a fantastic workout that will teach you good fundamentals for Muay Thai. Highly recommend Rebel.“

“This Tae Kwon Do center is great. My son loves going. He has been going since he was 5. We saw the demonstration team at one of the Lindenhurst fairs. Started out with Tiger kids and is now in the Child program. Master Sailor and Master Alex are great instructors. Instructor Karen is the first person you see when arriving. They instill the discipline these kids need. You greet all the staff with a bow and either “Hello ma’am” or “Hello sir”. My son is currently on his orange belt. He was invited to join the black belt club and attends a nunchuck class and just received his Dedication pants. If anyone is thinking about joining they usually run a special to tryout it out before committing. Could not give enough praises about everyone.“

“Wonderful and welcoming staff and very informative classes for all skill levels and ages. I have taken two Self Defense classes so far here and found them both to be unique and empowering experiences. I highly recommend treating yourself to a class too. #RobinEveMusic“
