He brought my Krav Maga…read moreInstructor in as a guest Instructor for a Krav Seminar.( which everyone seemed to enjoy ) I could not have been more impressed! Sensei Marti is a fantastic Instructor and very nice guy..it is no suprise that he has such a loyal and dedicated student base. The Dojo ( located in a beautiful, safe strip mall ) is clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated with custom Japanese themed artwork that is created by Sensei Marti himself. There is a strong Family Vibe and great energy put out by this Dojo..as a matter of fact many of his students that I had the pleasure of training with were Parent / Child duos. Congratulations to Sensei Marti and enjoy continued success..OSU!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the warm and welcoming atmosphere at Marti's Martial…read moreArts Academy for the past year and it's safe to say that this place is truly exceptional! From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with genuine kindness and a sense of belonging that extends throughout the entire academy. Sensei goes above and beyond to foster a positive environment, not just for the students but for the entire family. They offer not only top-notch martial arts instruction but also a generous spirit that extends to everyone who wishes to learn can do so without barriers. The academy blends discipline with a sense of fun, making each class an enjoyable experience for all ages. I love that my children get life lessons along with their instruction, such a "you do good, you get good" and other lessons about listening to parents and teachers. If you take classes here, you'll leave not only with improved martial arts skills but also with a newfound sense of community, confidence and well-being!

This place is not just a martial arts school. It's a family. The instructors that work here are…read morephenomenal, funny, patient, and great teachers. I've gone to a couple of karate schools in the westchester area and hated them but when I came here I couldn't stop. I did over 5+ years here and got up to my high green belt. (Had to stop to stop after my 2nd year of college) I was in the adult class since beginning of high school. There's a mixture of older students to adults in the classes . They mixed up the classes from cardio, to self defense, to ground fighting and forms. Both my younger sister have gone through the program and Hiawatha and Steve have done everything to make sure we got the best deal. It's a safe clean environment. Waiting area for the parents with TVs to watch the all the classes from other rooms. My sisters and I would rotate doing homework while the other was in class. It's close to the metro north and to many food places in Larchmont. I am certainly not the more trained or most athletic person but I absolutely love this place and care about the instructors like family. From the belt ceremonies to learning a new form this place is the best by far from the other schools around. They also offer free trials to test out how you would feel in the class.

We can't say enough good things about this place. It is a warm, welcoming environment that both…read moreinstills confidence and discipline but also allows young kids to be themselves and have fun. Hiawatha and Master Steve are great, and so are the older kids who serve as assistants to the younger ones. Our five year old son LOVES coming here (and so does his little sister, even though she's still too young to take classes) The birthday parties here are fabulous too. Very underrated and as good as any of the other venues in the standard Larchmont/Mamaroneck birthday circuit.

My 5-year-old daughter has been enrolled in the Super Tiger program at WSJ Taekwondo for the past…read morefour months, and I couldn't be more impressed. From day one, the level of detail, attention, and care given to each student has stood out. The instructors do an excellent job meeting kids where they are, keeping them engaged while still building focus, discipline, and confidence. It's clear they truly understand how young children learn and develop. Master Jeung runs an exceptionally well-organized program. You can feel the structure, professionalism, and genuine passion behind everything they do. We visited several "box-brand" martial arts schools before choosing WSJ, and the difference in approach is night and day -- this feels intentional, personal, and student-focused rather than cookie-cutter.

When looking for a Dojang I wasn't even sure where to begin. I had studied Taekwondo when I was…read moreyounger, but after twenty years I was worried about finding the right fit for me. I found WS Jeung Taekwondo on Google and called to inquire about trial classes. My first two trial classes were fantastic and I felt welcomed immediately. Grandmaster and Master Jeung are incredibly knowledgeable and gifted teachers. They work with their students to build a foundation of discipline, respect, and self confidence while teaching proper technique and forms. I strongly recommend WS Jeung Taekwondo for anyone who is looking to get into Taekwondo, self defense, or even just looking for a way to get active on a fun and supportive environment.

I trained here once in 1986 or 7? when it was Sensei Hioki's Dojo! If it's the same dojo in…read moreScarsdale (in Westchester County, NY?) that I'm thinking of. I am amazed and thrilled to see that it's still operating, and apparently under the capable direction of the now SHIHAN, Sakai, (whom I knew since S. Sakai was a white belt in our Founder, Saiko Shihan Shigeru Oyama's Dojo (School) in Manhattan, and at the time then, I was also just a lowly white or Blue belt myself!) Shihan Sakai got to where he is now, only through sheer determination and HARD WORK! I personally recall that he couldn't speak much English. He had no money. He had no one to Sponsor him here in America, and had no one to help him! (It can be a lonely thing for any human being to experience that!) Yet, in spite of all THAT, (or BECAUSE of it!) this fellow, Sakai, worked very, very, VERY hard to train himself. So much so, that in fact, (once in a while), the Master would have to remind Sakai to keep an extra dogi (uniform) handy, just in case. But when the Saiko Shihan, saw that Sakai was always at the dojo, and training as hard as he did, the Master said: "You might as well come and live here, and keep the place running smoothly while I'm not here." And so he did! Sakai joined the ranks of the "uchi-deshi," or "inside" students, who would clean and keep up dojo) when the Master wasn't there. So I liked the fact that the now SHIHAN Sakai had taken over the Scarsdale Dojo. It couldn't have happened to a better person! For, Sakai had progressed through the ranks very, VERY quickly, and earned his 1st Degree Black Belt and on up the ranks; due mostly to his hard work, good character, and relentless Courage! I'm proud to know him! And I wish him every happiness continued success withhis Dojo(s), there in White Plains! From your old Friend, Julie A. Cipolla
