Martial Arts Schools near Clifton Park

“Thank you so much for the awesome self defense workshop for our Girl Scout troop! They learned a lot & had fun. ??“

“Would recommend Pai's to anyone. We have been taking our son for over a year now and he loves it. I'm grateful for the morals they instill at a young age. The staff is attentive, kind, and fair.“

“This is by FAR the best place for anyone looking to learn martial arts. My son started when he was 3 years old (they have since changed the minimum age requirement) and now is getting ready to test for his black belt at almost 11 years old. He went from white to black in the little lions program and then white to (soon) black in the junior program. I have nothing but amazing things to say. The instructors really care about the kids. They don't just know their names, they know their interests, personalities, siblings names, friends. They take the time to really knew each student. They do not push kids through the belt levels either. They make sure each child is really ready to move up before they invite them to promotion testing. My son has ADHD and really struggled especially when he was little. My husband and I agree that a major reason our son is now disciplined, respectful, and can focus better is because of Master Yang's. I even tried Krav Maga and made some great friendships during my brief time in class. Pregnancy and knee surgery kept me from going back but my son continues in their taekwondo program. This studio is more than just a place to learn martial arts, it's a place that teaches a lifestyle, character development and perseverance. Master Yang's quickly became like a home to us and we have loved every minute of our experience. I am beyond thrilled that my son wants to continue beyond his black belt at Master Yang's because I could not bear the thought of leaving our 2nd home. I strongly encourage anyone considering martial arts for themselves or their child to give Master Yang's a call. You will not be disappointed.“

“You must experience the StrikeFit class! It entails cardio kickboxing and strength training. You leave there feeling good about yourself! Coach Steph is amazing and really is enthusiastic. She really makes you want to push yourself! It’s a great mix of all ages and Coach Steph will adjust the workout to your skill level. The women are all super supportive and you really feel comfortable working out! Come see for yourself!“

“I've been a member for a bit over a year. I appreciate all the other members, to a person, have been welcoming and supportive. They are always willing to offer suggestions and help me learn. There are no egos, just great people. A special shout out for Nicholas Gerace who is the instructor/coach for the masters (40+) group. Nick's a great instructor overall, but especially for those of us with enthusiasm, but not as much flexibility as we used to have. It's a great place to be on Friday night and Sunday afternoon. This is a great community of people who demonstrate that Jiu Jitsu is a life skill.“

“Outstanding Staff. My 4 year old can be shy and freeze upThe patience and understanding they show are excellent. Highly recommend. Just a few classes in, and we see a difference.“

“Mechelle Smith is one of the most dedicated person I have ever met,my child is been in her school since the age 8 and she is now 14 and she is a black belt,her way of teaching is amazing.“

“I signed up my 16 year old that has some special needs for their Martial Arts class and she absolutely loves it. They’ve been extremely patient and kind to her while teaching her. So glad we found this place and was given an opportunity to participate in their classes. Great location!!“

“Master Park is exceptional. He is a brilliant teacher and connects with each of his students on individual levels.“

“Nice relaxing atmosphere. Friendly patrons and the owner is always around to help. Particularly good for indoor racquet sports.“

“I recently started attending classes here. Very friendly, patient and welcoming from the get go. Highly recommend“

“My daughter has been attending taekwondo for 2 years now and she loves it. My only issue with this center is that they don't have classes specifically for teens. I would prefer my teen daughter to train with teens as well. As a mom of a teenage daughter I am not a fan of mixing teens with full grown adults in training. Just my opinion. I wish they can also schedule blackbelters to attend classes with students so if one has no partner they can easily join and be the partner in certain activity. As long as my daughter is happy and learning she will keep attending here.“
