Martial Arts Schools near Mt Vernon

“This place is amazing.
I thought I was in shape… then I trained with Coach Elvis and realized I’d just been messing around lifting weights. He helped me drop weight, get faster, and feel way stronger. I’m never training anywhere else. The private lessons are super affordable too—especially for Westchester.
Thanks, Coach!“

“There are no words to express the gratitude I have for Achieve Martial Arts.

This is clearly a great school for adults as well as for teens and children!“

“Master Ho Lee's Taekwondo is simply Amazing!! Our son has been enrolled for 5 months. The difference between day one and now is night and day! My son today is stronger, more focused and is extremely more confident. Master Ho Lee teaches discipline, resilience, grit. My son is excited about every class, he has earned a yellow belt, and now he wants to keep going and earn other belts as goals. We could not be any prouder of the progress and transformation our son has made. Enrolling him to Master Lee's Taekwondo has to be one of the best decisions we made for him. If I could put 6 stars I would. Thank you, Master Ho Lee!!!“

“I'm new to this place but I love the environment and the personal attention. The staff is always kind and helpful.“

“TSMA Englewood has completely transformed me—physically, mentally, and socially. Before I started training here, I was just an average Asian Joe, unsure of myself and what I was capable of. I could barely make it through half a class, both physically and mentally, and my shyness held me back from truly connecting with others.

But six months later, everything has changed.

Now, I train 5 days a week while working 6 days, and I feel stronger and more resilient than I ever thought possible. I’ve gone from avoiding conversations to starting them with confidence, from feeling average to realizing that I’m capable of so much more than I ever imagined.

The program here is nothing short of life-changing. The instructors are passionate and supportive, and my classmates are genuinely encouraging and uplifting. It’s a community that pushes you to be your best self, even on the toughest days.

From my personal experience, I’ve learned that once you reach the point where you truly believe you can do anything with effort, you become unstoppable. Fearless. Limitless. There’s no obstacle too big, no goal too far away.

This journey has taught me the power of persistence and self-belief. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I know this is just the beginning. To anyone doubting themselves: trust the process, embrace the pain, enjoy the suffering and never stop pushing. You’re stronger than your excuses, you’re tougher than your belly fat!

Good job to me—and to the amazing team at TSMA Englewood for helping me unlock this version of myself. Here’s to even greater heights ahead!“

“Coach Orlando and Coach Jay do a fantastic Job in teaching my son Muay Thai and BJJ, they have been teaching my son for a year now. They both have a positive attitude and make the experience fun and challenging for my son to excel.“

“My son has been coming for the past 3 years and has been one of his greatest experiences. Teachers and team are extremely dedicated. They engage the students through the entire classes. Great opportunity to have the kiddos learn self defense, values and discipline while having fun! Kudos to Master Michael and Master Choi“

“My husband and I just completed the self defense course at Blue Moon and I would recommend this to everyone- men/women/teens/adults/even seniors. I feel more confident having some tools and tricks available to me if me or my family are ever in a terrible situation where we need to use them.“

“Great place for anyone; from small kids to adults. Very positive and friendly atmosphere, while teaching respect and discipline. It really shows that their priority is to teach and see their students improve and advance. Very pleased with my daughters progress, looking forward to more tournaments/trophy's.“

“Absolutely AMAZING! One of the best things you can do for your child. The instructors/staff are not only warm and welcoming, they offer excellent instruction. Our class often has 3:1 student ratio so a lot of individual attention. Must recommend for all those that are interested in Martial Arts“

“My son Daniel has been coming to the school since early elementary school. He is now in High School and is a 3rd Dan Black Belt. Our family has seen him grow in confidence and maturity. Helped with fitness. Wonderful TKD family.“

“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!“

“Hands down what you’re looking for to get started in martial arts. Especially with a very intimate and welcoming community“

“Master Song is deeply passionate about teaching Taekwondo and instills a strong sense of discipline in his students. He maintains a friendly and encouraging atmosphere in his classes, while also ensuring that his students understand and respect the strictness required to master Taekwondo. This school is highly recommended!“
