Find & Compare Martial Arts Schools in Your Area!

Martial arts schools teach karate, taekwondo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, kung fu, krav maga, boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts, with programs for small children, teens and adults, competition teams, and self-defense courses. Many families come to this page looking for discipline and confidence for a child; adults come for fitness, self-defense or a sport they can train in for decades.

No state licenses martial arts instruction, so ask about the head instructor’s rank, lineage and years teaching, whether instructors are background checked and first-aid trained, and whether you can watch a class and take a free trial before committing. Ask about contract length and how you cancel, since long contracts and automatic renewals are common, and what belt testing, uniforms, equipment and tournament fees add to the monthly tuition. Ask how sparring is introduced, what protective gear is required, and how injuries are handled. If the school is mostly adults, ask how a child’s class is kept separate. For strength and conditioning alongside training, see gyms and personal trainers.
