Martial Arts Schools near Pittsford

“Best of the best realistic taekwondo school. I found many places teaching taekwondo like joke, but ABBC is not like that and can use it on the street fight if you serious.“

“I spoke with John prior to training at his gym. I explained that I was in town for a work conference and I was allowed to train with him and his students. I trained in the striking class and, I was shocked at how young and knowledgeable his lead instructor was. If I'm ever in town again I would definitely head back.“

“My son has been going here for years; since it was Murray's. Since the new owners took over, (Long time teachers at Murray's) it is just as good as ever. My son loves going, and his concentration was almost instantly improved back when he started. And he loves going to classes. He has aspirations of becoming a teacher himself one day.All-in-all, Mike & Steph are great people, great sensei's, and make for great owners of this dojo.“

“As a father, I couldn't be happier with this gym for my son. The instructors not only teach well but also instill discipline and respect in a community environment. It's been incredible to watch my son grow both physically and mentally through their guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend this gym to any parent looking to introduce their child to martial arts.“

“My family travels from Boston to the Rochester area 2-3 times a year. When we come I stop in and train at Shogun multiple times every visit. Super welcoming to travelers! The head coach Shaun is extremely knowledgeable and has created a fantastic environment for learning. There are over a dozen upper belts who are just as friendly and enjoy working/teaching new people. Whether you're local or traveling, Shogun is a must drop in. ??“

“My son started this program through Penfield Rec as a short term activity. It has evolved into my son absolutely loving it and he is not a long-term student. The Sensei's are wonderful and make it very fun for the kids while also teaching them great life skills. You can see the joy in the kids faces as they learn and grow in confidence in their skills. Strongly suggest getting your young child involved.“

“Joined T’ai Chi school first time in 2017 with my now husband… we did the 10week course as a ‘date activity’. Now 2023 we are back in with the groove this September with friends… could not be happier. Rochester is a great place to live because of niches like this. So grateful!“

“I first took a capoeira class to build strength and mobility to prepare me for other art forms. 5 years later, I have found capoeira to be beneficial and dynamic for many different reasons: capoeira has strengthened and built upon my yoga experience and teaching, it has added to and stretched my dance background, it has opened up my passion for music and rhythm and language, and it has put me in the midst of a supportive and amazing community. Our contra-mestre Todd Carcará Russell is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. All the other teachers have unique perspectives, skill, and joy in teaching. 10/10 would recommend.“

“I have only visited once several years ago but still think of this location first whenever I consider restarting my aikido training.“

His patience, eye for detail, and martial knowledge is truly remarkable.I currently take Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes at Kime Karate M/W/F at 7PM. There is a strong friendly atmosphere at Kime Karate and the instructors and students are all there to help you make improvements, not to compete with you.It is a very welcoming school, with excellent instruction and a positive atmosphere. I learn something new every class and have a great time getting in the best shape of my life.I recommend Kime Karate and Sensei Aric Keyes without reservation. Check it out and come see for yourself.Edit - six years later, this is still one of the best martial arts schools in the area. Go check it out for yourself.“
