Martial Arts Schools near Huntington

“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.“

“It was an honor being taught the Gentle art by UFC legend Matt Serra . Such a unique experience… WE LOVE JIU JITSUUUU OSSS“

“10/10!! If you aren’t going to Jiu Jitsu Modern you are missing out. Everyone is always ready to help each other out. The atmosphere is unmatched, you really do gain a family both on & off the mats. The competition classes are on another level. Professor Carlos & all the coaches have a way with making BJJ classes insightful whether it’s Gi or No-Gi. I’ve been going to Modern for over a year and honestly it is one of the few only things keeping me in NY.“

Eric, his instructor, is a great teacher & breaks down every technique masterfully. My son looks forward to going to class every day. I highly recommend Trigon Academy to everyone.“

“My daughter has been attending classes at Champions for more than a year. We are all very pleased with experience so far. The facility is well-maintained and clean. The instructors are not only knowledgeable in Taekwondo but are also fantastic with the kids. Also, I have seen positive changes in my daughter since she started attending classes. One of them is her increased self-confidence. I am thankful for the positive impact the experience has had on her. I highly recommend this school to parents in search of a martial arts program for their children.“

“My son has been taking the classes for a year and he loves it. Great teachers and they always have different activities for the kids to do. They’re always promoting good mental and physical health and during this times is nice to find a place where my child can get that and also learn self defense.“

“This is the best karate place ever since I was a kid even though I done with it I still love the sensei how they teach me do karate“

“Our son has been attending Masters Martial Arts for 3 years now. We can absolutely attribute the growth in our now 9 year old to Master Mike (and team). We originally tried soccer for 2 years in a row, and our son would be glued to our legs not wanting to even get on the field. Enter Master Mike, and it was a completely different child. His confidence grew slowly over time, and now our son is not only on the doorstep to a black belt, but he is also an excellent soccer player. The stepping stone to soccer, was martial arts.Now his brothers are following in his footsteps. We can not speak any more highly about Master Mike, he is a gem to the community. We look forward to many more years of instruction by Master Mike, thank you sir!“

“This is a wonderful martial arts school. Chris Gates and all his instructors are highly competent. They emphasize respect, humility and confidence in all their students.“

“I had a great time at the dojo, and I loved being there, until I went out in a rage. I have been planning to come back to No Fear, It’s just that cannot handle the shame of going into the dojo again, and possibly ruin my reputation in the karate world even more, and also if I move on to another dojo, If the scenario does happen, It would feel wrong to compete against a dojo I was once part of in a competition. I will come back someday, and learn from my mistakes. (Edit: I never did come back...)“

“Everything about this place is amazing. They are so accepting to everyone from everywhere, skill level, age, or ability! The training is good and effective. The atmosphere is clean and not overwhelming. One hundred percent recommended for anyone looking for a good martial arts place!“

“Grand Master Choi is an excellent teacher who pays attention to every child's unique needs. He motivates them and continues to instill self confidence.“

“I really liked the tai chi classes I miss it a lot i’m doing it on my own it’s not the same they really help me out a lot they are really nice I appreciate everything they’ve done for me hoping one of these days and go back and take Tai chi again“

“Great little hidden gem of a dojo where its not about the money or the ranks first but traditional Japanese Shotokan. Techniques and count offs spoken in Japanese. Very detail oriented. Kids classes and separate adult classes. Not a mcdojo.“

“Steve is amazing with the children. Our experience has been nothing but amazing! Our son loves going 5 days a week!!!“

“I have been training at this school for years, most of my life in fact, and I've had some of the greatest moments of my life in this school. I learn more and more every class and have a great time doing so. I've made many friends whom I'll never forget, and I've learned many things I'll never forget. This school is absolutely excellent.“
