The environment is safe and friendly which feels like a second home for the kids. I would greatly recommend them to anyone who is looking for their children to learn and practice a martial art, you will not regret it.

Master Jung's World Taekwondo is a life-changing environment of self-defense, self-love, and…read moreself-discipline, all combined into the beautiful art form of Taekwondo. Master Hyunsik Jung is a master of his craft and runs a truly wonderful business, inspiring children and adults of all ages through his love for the martial art. I would recommend these classes to anyone - I used to be a student there and worked closely with Master Jung to receive my black belt - a task I could have never achieved without his care and training.

I originally sought out self-defense techniques in case I found myself in a dangerous situation…read more Nowadays, aiming for the gonads or a kick to the shin may not suffice. My instructor Khoury Porter not only taught me essential techniques but he also gave me a full comprehensive method to consciously be aware of my surroundings at all times. It's a full mind body and spirit work out whether you're just doing kick boxing Muay Thai or Jiu-Jitsu. The staff is wonderful. You become family. They have a variety of services available for all ages. This is hands down - the best workout you can come across in the Lower Hudson Valley area! They helped me to tone up and build core and upper body strength that I never had before. This establishment is good for all ages. If I had teen that was coming of age, I'd book a self defense party for her and her friends here to learn basic techniques to defend and escape dangerous situations. Check them out! Come join the family!

My seven year old son has been going to Yoo's for over 6 months and absolutely LOVES it. Of course,…read moreit means I have to take him there after school and at the weekend too, but luckily I absolutely love it too. The atmosphere is relaxing, friendly but there is an overall sense of mutual respect and trust which is extraordinary. The gentle but stern, loving but rigorous discipline has profoundly affected my son for the better and is inspiring to me as a parent. Principles of good attitude and behavior are a paramount ingredient in Master Yoo's method of training. He has become more focused, confident, polite, physically stronger and more flexible, as well as learning useful self defense. Even when he's exhausted after school or on a Saturday morning and doesn't feel like going, we still go and ALWAYS he comes out refreshed, high almost, and filled with zest. This is a remarkable gem of a place and is very well run, clean and peaceful. He is progressing, always excited and motivated toward the next achievement. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone; they do cheap 2 week taster courses, which I recommend too.

Terrible place to come if you want to feel included. Sensei seems nice at first, but then makes…read morecondescending remarks in a slick way to try to disguise his disrespect. He allows bullying from the hasidic jews to go unchecked. We have observed several of the jewish children mistreat children of other races and Sensei issued no corrections and allowed it to happen. Not a welcoming environment at all and very dissatisfied with the clear favoritism being shown. It's almost as if sensei is scared of saying something to the parents of the jewish kids.

My 6-year old son has been attending Little Ninja classes at Power MMA Krav Magra for 4 sessions…read morenow and I cannot say enough great things about the program and Sensei Yuri! The program promotes fitness, confidence and respect of oneself and others in a positive and fun learning environment and my son has thrived with each successive session. I have been so impressed with not only the Little Ninja program (which, as I mentioned, goes beyond karate and teaches respect of one's parents, healthy eating and exercise habits, discipline, etc.), but also with Sensei Yuri who has the unique ability to pull the best qualities out of each student. His way of teaching is one that is fun, but treats each student regardless of age as one who must give and must receive respect. He is not afraid to expect the best of each student, and the students thrive! I'm excited for my son to now go to the next level of classes and also for our family to check out the other offerings at the school. The school has fitness programs for men, women and children (such as self defense, dance, piyo, etc.) and it's worth mentioning that many of the classes are sensitive of the needs of Orthodox students. While we are not Jewish/Orthodox, it is heartening to me that a student who is more comfortable with a male or female only teacher/class can choose that, or they can choose a unisex option depending on their comfort level, religious requirements, etc. There's lots of parking and the hours are great, with late hours and weekend hours for people who work/have school. Definitely check out a trial class at this school! The skills learned at Krav magra are not just for show--they are supremely useful for self defense and I think a great option for anyone of any age interested in martial arts.

Karate Do outside of the US for seven (7) years. Black belt earned while training bare footed on a…read moreconcrete floor. Tae Kwon Do in the US, 3 belts away from black belt. I stopped training in a dojo approximately eighteen (18) years ago, darn, I guess I'm old now (late 30s)! My love for Martial Arts never went away, but I was disillusioned with most schools here in the US were most often people pay for their belts instead of earning them. Furthermore, most schools are just too soft, baby gloves... Next to my college education, the best gift my parents gave me was Martial Arts and I want to give the same gift to my five (5) years old son. I visited four (4) schools in the area and many others in the past for me. Many of them are lots of fun for the kids as they have many games to play, but often teach very little Martial Arts! Then came Renzo Gracie-Omar Jimenez Rockland Jiu Jitsu. The minute I entered with my son and warmly greeted by Arelis I knew I had found the right school. No contract needed, but I would have sign anything right away. Coach Aneta, Coach Jason and Coach Angel are just superb with the kidsI! I cannot talk highly enough. To my surprise, not only did I find the right school for my son, but for myself as well. I never trained Jiu Jitsu before and rightly so I am starting as a white belt. I find it shocking however that with my background in other Arts I am as helpless as a baby if a Jiu Jitsu guy takes me to the ground! Jiu Jitsu is a MUST and Professor Omar and his coaches (Mike, Dudley...) teach it the right way! Fees are reasonable and worth every penny. If you're looking for something to challenge your body and mind, pay this school a visit.
