Martial Arts Schools near Providence

“My son has been at Pathway Karate for 3 years. He is a HS student now, enjoys karate, and has been practicing for almost 10 years now. Pathway is an amazing place and Sensei Mark is an outstanding, patient and lively teacher. I definitely recommend Pathway as a place for anyone's child to attend and learn the art of karate.“

“I’d give more stars if that was possible! Everyone here is amazing! My son has only had one lesson and he’s already more confident and is trying new things with a great attitude! Everyone is so nice here and very attentive!“

“Our daughter, 6-years old THRIVES at Mastery. We have only been going for a short time but the impact Mr. West's classes have had on her are tremendous!! Her focus, her respect, her discipline have improved significantly. Not to mention she is having a ton of fun and getting a good exercise and is becoming strong and flexible. We could not be happier for signing up with Mastery!“

“We’ve been with this school for a few years now. Great place, awesome staff and a clean friendly environment. I recommend this place to EVERYONE!!!“

“My girls started karate a couple months ago and we love it! Wonderful staff and very patient with their students. Excellent experience!“

“My Down syndrome boy is a little withdrawn. I LOVED seeing how all of you made him feel so confident. We can not thank you enough for our training day!! Your staff is amazing!“

“RSAK is an incredible place to learn karate. Our son has been going for several years and it's amazing to see his progress through the belts. Mr. Silva, Mr. L, and all of the other instructors bring intense enthusiasm to each and every class, helping kids become the best version of themselves. I couldn't imagine our son at any other karate studio than this one, thank you for all that you do!“

“Had a great time on the golf simulator when we finished up Tom the owner told us we could finish up and stay a little longer since there was no one after us. Over all great experience and would definitely recommend coming by if your are a golfer.“

“Both of my boys have been coming to EP Martial Arts for 5 months now. I love the variety of different arts taught (for one low price) and that there is a class 5/6 days a week to keep them busy. Each class not only teaches them different techniques but discipline and they do not let the kids goof off during class. EP Marital Arts was EXACTLY what I was looking for and would highly recommend them!“

“I've been going here for about a year with my kids and this place has changed my life: physically and mentally. It's really not the facility or the equipment when it comes to martial arts: it's really about the instructor (or "master"). Master Michelet is an exceptional taekwondo practitioner. He is great with kids and he really has a passion for the art.“

“The trainer was awesome. He has lot of patience in training my 3 year old son. My son was enjoying the moves.“

“The best experience! Did a trial run at the Kent YMCA, and then took my 5 yr old for a "discovery lesson" at the Warwick location. "Mr. O" was fantastic! Explained everything about membership options, and went through some quick routines! My daughter took to him quickly and caught on to the basic steps. Can't wait to start our Mastery adventure!“

“Fantastic martial art, taught by 3rd generation from the founder. I've tried (and do) other styles, as well as other aikido dojos, this place offers something very special!“

“I have been coming to Villari's Martial Arts Center after finishing pt for a total hip replacement. I have been attending the class Tai Chi for Arthritis. In addition to Tai Chi, Master Leong has also been instructing the class in stretches that have helped my flexibility with my hip. In talking with Master Leong, she has studied with instructors in order to develop this class.In September of 2020, I moved from the Tai Chi for Arthritis to practicing "regular" Tai Chi. I have found it to be very beneficial with my balance and movement. I would highly recommend trying Tai Chi.“

“??Strong classes, I do kickboxing Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00 p.m. We work the whole body every time I get stronger and each class is a challenge for me thanks to the professional coach Joe. Thank you Joe!“

“Master Park has run incredible online taekwondo classes all throughout the pandemic (and excellent in-person classes prior to that)! I can't wait to be back in the dojang.“

“I enrolled my daughter in this dojo seeking a positive female role model for my daughter after a tough divorce. Linda was always a great teacher and a wind in my daughters sails. We recently moved and subsequently had to stop attending class. Linda was very graceful and understanding about it and wished us well without any bitterness or angst. I consider her a friend despite compensating her for teaching my daughter. There simply are not enough good role models out there that lead by example and positivity like she did. Linda is a true class act. She will be missed.“

“went here a couple years ago and got to a yellow belt. lost alot of weight due to this and it was very fun. definitely recommend.“

“OSS BJJ is a phenomenal training facility and has the best learning environment I have ever experienced across any discipline or activity.Jimmy Connor, the owner and instructor is highly experienced knowledgeable and personable. He goes to an excruciating level of detail to make movements and techniques clear to all participants regardless of rank or experience. He has fostered an incredible community and makes every class memorable not just for the quality of the instruction but also from the humor and enjoyment he brings to each lesson.Wether you are a black belt or have never heard of BJJ at all I cannot recommend Ocean State Studios Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (OSS BJJ) enough!“

“Hahaha. Wow. As a bleeding heart liberal with socialist leaning and someone who doesnt really care about guns, i did train at this school for a year. In that time i never saw sensei or any of his assistant instructors or students with a firearm. Perhaps times have changed, but as i may disagree with sensei's political leanings, i must say that his karate instruction and dedication to real self defensr are top notch. Hands down one of the most serious, focused and disciplined dojos i have ever trained at, and politics didnt come up very often or get in the way of very dedicated instruction. His long term students were and probably still are badasses. At the time he had classes available 5 nights a week and two morning classes. 2 hours of straight karate and continuos contact sparring. I will always appreciate sensei Gagne's approach to traditional shorinji matsumura te. Domo arigato sensei!“

“It is definitely professional and has a great work ethic it’s just the place is very messy“

“I love this place. 10/10 I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time. Mentally I’m learning new skills, physically I get a sweaty awesome workout, emotionally I have gained more confidence in my ability to defend myself. ?❤️“

“Master Wu and Ryan are good teachers and my husband and I really enjoy the tai chi classes. The website is outdated and may now be defunct but facebook is kept up to date.“
