I love how the instructor waits to gear everything the kids have to say with patience and ackowledges what they say no matter if it's right or not. Yesterday in particular the instructor told one of the kids, when she was reluctant to one of the drills after she realized her mom had stepped out, they would do the front roll after her mom came back. She said she promised. And after class she did what she said. Everyone stopped to watch and after she was done we all clapped for her. Even though she needed help it didn't matter she was so happy and I was so impressed the instructor followed through. This is something not all parents do for their kids, establish trust.
Great place, amazing people! Ms. Nila is my favorite. And Mr Kpandja is so awesome and chill.
Fantastic instructors who care for the students progress. Safety is stressed while the classes are entertain and fun.
My oldest daughter has attended the summer camp 3 consequative years. It was her first choice for summer camp these past 2 years due to the coaches, activities, friends she made, positivity, and learning opportunities. The coaches all work so hard to help kids reach their full potential, meet their goals and make friends. They are also SO communicative with family. 10/10. Awesome summer camp run by awesome people!
I've been going to Murrayhill Martial Arts for years. I love training here. It is great group of people I train with.
For the last four years, since my three kids started classes at Murrayhill Martial Arts, I have noticed considerable improvement in their lives with increased self-confidence, developed self-discipline and seem better skilled in self-defense should there be an imminent threat in school or in daily lives. Not to forget, the Belts earned.
I love that Master Kaari is strict about the rules of her dojo, does not allow distractions with the kid’s goals. She controls the class environment and maintains order, something that us parents need help with at home.
The coaches and instructors are very engaging. My kids love, love, love Coach Neela, Paige and the super talented, Coach Sophia, who makes a strong impact as a coach and trainer. Thank you so much for your diligence in all you do for kids and parents.
Summer camp service during holidays and no school days are very helpful. Stops the craziness of finding a babysitter while we are at work.
Saturday Parents Night Out are such a treat for kids and parents. Kids can be dropped off just for a fun party night while parents can go on a date till 9pm. Basically, babysitting while parents have some time alone.
Thank you for just being there for us!!!!
Murrayhill Martial Arts is the BEST! My son joined almost 9 years ago and is doing fantastic. The instructor's have done so much with him. First starting my son would not communicate, or participate much but they were very patient and kind and worked at his pace. I am proud to say that last October my son tested for first degree black blet. His confidence has grown tremendously and he absolutely loves being part of a team he now calls his second family. All the instructors are fantastic, and I would recommend Murrayhill Martial Arts to everyone! I promise you won't regret it!
I absolutely LOVE how my 10 year old daughter went from being shy and bullied at school to a strong and confident girl that can defend herself even if I’m not around!! And for THAT I am eternally grateful! And along the way she has found new friends and she’s ALWAYS excited for her classes!
Instructors and office staff always go BEYOND taking care of my concerns and are very pleasant to talk, to deal and to work with!
My family LOVES and THANKS Murrayhill Martial Arts!
I promise you won’t regret giving this opportunity to your child!
This organization is first class. We enrolled our son, who was having behavioral challenges, at age 4, and over the past 3 years MHMA has helped shape him into a confident, accomplished, and attentive little man. The staff are incredible and they offer opportunities for kids to not only learn martial arts but also to participate in the teaching. Highly recommended to anyone looking for the best in martial arts training.
My family joined Murrayhill Martial arts almost a year ago. The quality of the classes and attitude of staff is incredibly good. My son loves every class, staff at Murrayhill plays a great role in shaping his character. They earns my highest recommendation.
My daughter loves going to Murrayhill Martial Arts! The classes are organized, engaging, and fun.
Fantastic organization. The instructors and coaches are wonderful with the kids and do a great job teaching/practicing kindness, respect, patience, perseverance, etc. Their positive coaching and teaching style is valued and appreciated. Our kiddos have enjoyed attending their classes, camps, and after school program. I also greatly appreciate how easy they are to work with. Highly recommend.
My kids absolutely love it here! The instructors are amazing, and they know how to combine fun with discipline in a way that kids respond.
Awesome instructors and always a positive environment. Awesome for kids AND adults!!! Always something new to learn!!!!
Let’s face it, conflict is hard and is bound to happen no matter what ground rules are put into place. Whether it’s on the playground or in our homes, children will clash. And while it can create challenging situations, it is a normal event that occurs between children. This is why conflict resolution is an […]

Our words have a powerful influence on our children’s development, especially in their early years when they are forming their sense of self and learning how to navigate the world.

We live in a world where devices are part of everyday life. They connect us, entertain us, and even help our kids learn. I’m not anti-device—but I am pro-development. When kids spend too much time on screens, they miss out on “hygiene habits” that are just as important as brushing their teeth or taking a […]
