Martial Arts Schools near Oakdale

“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.“

“I did a self defense course and the instructors were very informative and direct. We learned applicable defense techniques that are easy to remember!“

“My son just started and he loves it. The instructors are amazing with the kids. Great place. Great pricing.“

“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.“

“A few years ago my Daughter, at the time 7 years old was a yellow belt, my Mother and I took her and my niece to the game farm. They were releasing a batch of goats into the pen to be fed from the bottles they sell. Now you have to picture this, 30 baby goats running towards 20 or so children who are also running towards the goats. (Injuries waiting to happen) Mother's are screaming at their children to show down, and being totally ignored. I yelled Front Position (which is a command that a Sensei or Instructor will say and the meaning is... STOP whatever it is that you are doing and face forward) Well my daughter stopped so fast that there was actually a cloud of dirt at her heals. In astonishment the mother next to me said "what the heck was that" to which my response was "Cutting Edge Kempo Karate" and worth every penny (with the biggest smile on my face) Sensei Nick taught my daughter a lot, not only about karate, defense but most of all respect.“

“what a great dojo. the sensei's are so knowledgeable and talented. the students have become like a second family to me. I strongly recommend you come down for an introductory class. you will not leave without signing up.“

“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. ?“

“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“

“Amazing sensei's. Very organized and always have little events and things for the kids.“

“My kids have been going to High Kick for about 3-4 years now and they absolutely love it. Master Peter and his staff are absolutely amazing. They are very patient with the students and most of all caring. The kids love attending the summer camp every year and have so much fun. Master Peter really does a phenomenal job. We highly recommend High Kick Taekwondo!!!“

“Master Chris is amazing and all around a wholesome person. All my children, as well as every other kid, teen and adult I see there; all adore him. He really knows his stuff,and can read individual people(children); and able to adjust to their needs when it comes to teaching and instructing.Not only will you be versed in whichever form of martial arts you'd like to venture into, but you'll bring home a better version of yourself everything you meet “

“I highly recommend this studio. The instructors are friendly, welcoming and professional. They are patient yet disciplined all while promoting a fun and encouraging learning atmosphere. 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.“

“I was looking for a challenge ...let's say I've found it here ! I enjoyed the workout! Cant wait for next class“
