My daughter wakes up each morning asking if it is time for her to go to dance class and that is a testament to the caring work that goes into each session.“

Sensei Eric is extremely talented at keeping a group of 5 year olds engaged and interested the whole time. The parents got to watch the kids during the class and multiple parents told me how much they appreciated his teaching style and how much fun their kids had.I love that on top of regular classes, they also have summer camps.“

“I have been coming to Dynamic Martial Arts Family Center in Greenwich for a couple of months now. I really enjoy the awesome training and fun challenges that my instructors give me. I’ve achieved my black belt in Shotokan karate prior to joining. Due to this, I was able to keep my rank, and begin my training towards my next black belt! ? Martial Arts has been a positive impact in my life, especially as a child learning life skills, discipline, and confidence! I recommend to anyone that’s thinking of putting their kids in Martial Arts, to sign them up at Dynamic Martial Arts Family Center, today!“

“The instructors and adult students are so committed and caring towards the younger students. Julio is amazing at getting young undisciplined minds to behave. Love this home away from home.“

“My son wanted to try this martial art, so I took him to Family Class for a few months, which was a great experience, and then I became hooked, and am now in my second year. I had never done any martial arts before and was nervous about "being a beginner", but the students and teachers are talented and helpful and the atmosphere is one of comraderie, with a strong emphasis on safety and personal development. If you're thinking of giving it a try, stop thinking about it, and come join us for a class or two!“

“I have nothing but positive things to share about DeVito's Taekwondo. My son, Evan, has been a student of Master D for years and he is one belt away from his black belt. It took a long time to find the right activity for Evan because he really does not like competitive sports. Taekwondo is perfect for him because the competition is really only with himself. This dojang has provided him with a safe and supportive environment where he can go to have fun, move his body, and learn a lot of important life skills. Every time we attend class, Evan is more motivated to practice and do his best!!I would also add that the schedule is amazing because there are many classes offered during the week and you can "drop in" to whatever class works for your schedule. Master D sometimes holds classes outside and has an amazing air filtration system so we have felt very safe attending throughout the pandemic.If you live anywhere close to this dojang and you think your child would benefit from an experience like this - I encourage you to try it out!! It is a hidden gem. :)“

“I have known SHIHAN Shahin Mehrkar for nearly 30 years. What kept me going and training was Shihan's unwavering, but realistic, dedication to exceptionalism. Sadly life gets in the way of plans and I was unable to continue training. I have stopped by over the years and was inspired everytime I watched classes of all ages that the attention to detail was still very obvious. I would recommend this school and it's instructors to everyone without any reservations whatsoever. I would trust Shihan and anyone he trusts to deliver the best training possible.“

“I signed my son up on a whim and it looked so awesome that I signed myself up a few months later!“

“Awesome conditioning / bag program... after just a few months much stronger, lost weight. Instructors are wonderful. Highly recommend!“

“I've had the pleasure of knowing Professor Pizol for well over a decade. He is a very knowledgeable Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and has spent several decades mastering the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Over the years, I have visited many different academies in the area and I believe that Pizol BJJ is the best martial arts school in the Port Chester area hands down. There's a great room of training partners, the facility is immaculate and there is plenty of free parking. If you are considering changing your life and taking up martial arts, I highly recommend seeing what this academy has to offer.“

“I've been training under Sensei Takahashi since February 1981. Join us if you're looking for the authentic experience.“
