If you want your life to be better, come here. Sensei is a unique individual who is both massively talented in martial arts and equally so in developing youth. Our family is eternally grateful for all we have received here. No joke - there is no better place.

Marti Martial Arts is an incredibly warm and welcoming environment. Sensei and all of the instructors create a space that feels supportive, disciplined, and inspiring. The growth in both maturity and skill that we’ve seen in our son has been exceptional. Their dedication to each student’s development, both on and off the mat, truly sets this dojo apart. Highly recommended!

My family and I can’t say enough about Marti Martial Arts Academy. Sensei Jose and his staff have been incredible with not only helping my boys’ physical development, but their personal development as well. I am grateful to have such a place in my community where the next generation can learn and grow into responsible, respectful and disciplined human beings. Highly recommend MMAA to anyone who is on the fence or considering a school for their children (or themselves! Adult classes are also available).

This is a great karate school – the instructors make it so much fun for little ones, and everyone is really friendly. My daughter (Sarveen,4.5 yearold) & son (Samyar, 6.5yearold) just started coming to this place and they just love it. The Sensei is very patient and understanding! We signed our son up for Karate mainly to help him build confidence. We wanted him to participate in something that would boost his self-esteem and to learn more about self-control. He is going to get his yellow belt next weekend after 3months of hard work here at MMAA. They have great programs at MMAA, Highly recommend for the entire family!

Marti Martial Arts Academy has been an incredible experience for our family, especially for our son, Greyson. The academy not only teaches top-notch martial arts techniques but also emphasizes essential life skills like discipline, focus, and respect. Our son Greyson has gained so much confidence since he started, and he genuinely enjoys every class. I think what sets Marti Martial Arts apart is their dedication to each student’s growth. The Sensei, Jose, is amazing at tailoring his approach to meet individual needs, ensuring every child feels seen and encouraged. The environment is positive, safe, and inspiring.

If you’re looking for a place where your child can build character, gain self-confidence, and have fun while learning martial arts, I highly recommend Marti Martial Arts Academy. It’s been an amazing journey for Greyson, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Our daughter, just 5½, absolutely loves her karate classes at Marti Martial Arts! We’ve seen such an incredible improvement in her coordination, discipline, and overall physical development, thanks to the fantastic instruction she’s receiving. Sensei Jose is amazing—not only is he a skilled trainer, but he also has a wonderful ability to connect with the kids, making each class both fun and impactful. We couldn’t be happier with the experience, and it’s so rewarding to see our daughter’s excitement for every session. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great martial arts program for kids!

My two daughters (6&8) are finishing their first year at Marti Martial Arts and I can’t say enough about our experience. They have learned as much about respect, focus and dedication as they have in the development of their skills. Jose and his staff are top notch and have mastered the art of making martial arts fun. I can’t imagine a better place for them to pursue mastery of martial arts. Five stars.

Our 2 boys (5 &7) have been going to MMAA for a little over 1 year and the change in the kids is nothing short of remarkable. Sensei Marti is committed to making a positive and lasting impression his students. The honorable tenets of the Dojo are printed on the wall in large letters and are recited at the end of each class to remind the kids why what they are doing is important and what the end goal of having high quality character, being honest, showing strong spirit, practicing courtesy, and controlling bad temper are all about. We cannot say enough good things about Sensei Marti and MMAA! A high quality operation with the highest quality people in charge. If you are looking for a great way to give your kids self control, focus, strength, confidence, and character, look no further, it’s here.

Marti Martial Arts has been a gift to our son. A place where he has grown in more ways than we could have imagined. Sensei Marti is an excellent teacher for people of all ages. His method brings out the best in each student giving them confidence, strength and the desire to succeed. Regardless of skill level, every student is treated with respect and given the opportunity to learn and develop skills at their own pace. My son has loved being his student for years and continues to learn and grow with him. Sensei brings out everyone's inner champion!

I’ve trained at various high level martial arts schools in NYC. I’ve cross trained in Kung Fu (black belt), Brazilian Jiujitsu (blue belt) and Escrima. I can confidently say that Marti Martial Arts in the “real deal” with excellent instruction in Karate, kickboxing and Brazilian Jiujitsu. Classes range from age 5-adult. The teaching environment is very supportive, encouraging and focused. The head instructor/owner brings in outside teachers who are experts in specific styles or techniques to teach classes and seminars to ensure top notch instruction and a well rounded development in the students.

Amazing school. Sensei Marti is a truly special instructor and our experience has been so valuable. Since starting at Marti Martial Arts almost 10 years ago I have seen both of my boys grow in confidence, physical ability, and maturity. Sensei truly cares about their development as individuals, not just as athletes. I'm so grateful that we found this school!

We’re going in our 15th year with Marti Martial Arts. My oldest was 5yo when he started and the rest of the siblings joined karate as soon as they are able. My youngest is 9yo now and looks forward to becoming a black belt like his 3 older siblings and mom and dad. Marti Martial Arts offers a variety of classes including Jui-jitsu, weapons, self defense and sparring. But more important than all the classes is Sensei Marti. Sensei Marti is an excellent marital artist and has a kind, respectful, and encouraging way in running the dojo. He is God fearing and a loving father to all. My children all grew up in this place learning how to become a better person, to appreciate beauty and stand by what is good and true.
Thank you Sensei for serving our community!

Sensei Marti has a wonderful program! He is great with the kids. Helps them to improve, giving correction while also boosting their confidence. He is encouraging and goes above and beyond to make sure the kids succeed if they are willing to put in the hard work. We love that he also teaches the kids principles to succeed in life. This allows the students to connect the principles beyond martial arts, and is a tool they will be able to use throughout their lives. Thank you for such an amazing program.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! I honestly can't say enough nice things about this business and the community they have created at the dojo. My son who has some sensory/ASD issues has been taking private karate lesson at MMAA for nearly 2 years and it has been incredibly rewarding for him. I started taking the adult kickboxing classes about a year ago and it is the highlight of my week. Sensei Jose and the other instructors are amazing and the community they have created at the dojo is friendly and welcoming. It can be hard work, but everyone leaves the dojo with a smile from ear to ear. Highly recommend checking this place out if you and/or
your child are interested in exploring martial arts.

If you are looking for a kind, patient, experienced professional to teach you or your child martial arts, then you should go to Marti Martial Arts. It is the best dojo experience that you and your family could ever have. From kickboxing to karate and everything in between, Sensei Jose makes it enjoyable for children, while teaching them life lessons through positive reinforcement and their martial arts technique training. My children love going to all the classes and we always leave feeling uplifted and happy. It is a really wonderful place, I highly recommend!

So grateful to have found this dojo and Sensei Jose Marti. My family and I have been part of this wonderful family for almost 2 years. I’ve watched my kids grow in so many ways since then, both as martial artists and kids! Sensei (and his wonderful senpais pf course!) is remarkable in his ability to teach discipline, respect, and empathy all while guiding the children towards reaching their full potential in various martial arts. My kids look forward to every class, and I couldn't be happier to hand them over to such a wonderful sensei and role model.

Marti Martial Arts Academy?
Not just a martial arts academy!!!
My two kids 6 and 5 years old joined almost two years ago this great academy. We absolutely loved and felt the great vibes from day one. Sensei Jose and his team are great martial arts teachers but not only that, they really help the kids and adults to learn the techniques, teaches them discipline and builds their confidence, making the kids understand what life is about and how strong and positive they need to be. We love Sensei Jose and the whole team because they are very special and amazing, the kids have time to be focused and learn but it is always time to play a game and have fun with all the extra activities that Sensei offers for the kids and adults over the year.
I started on the adults kickboxing program almost a year ago as well and let me tell you, I CAN'T MISS ONE DAY!!
Anyway i don't need to say more but 200% RECOMMENDED!!!
Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this great family!!

I love this dojo :) i am currently a student testing for my first black belt in april, i've been going here for about 6 years. When i see things on the internet like "we build discipline" i don't believe it, but almost every class, we are told about discipline and respect and taught it. Sensei Jose is so kind. I'm more comfortable opening up to him than my own family. Actually, sensei is family. I highly suggest going here it is an amazing experience.

My almost 12 year old son started karate and kickboxing here a year ago and absolutely loves it. Sensei Jose is a fantastic instructor! He really helps the kids learn the techniques, teaches them discipline and builds their confidence. We’ve been very impressed. My son has added sparring and Brazilian Jiu jitsu and trains as much as he can. He enjoys it so much he even practices his katas at home on his own.

There is not enough that I can say about this establishment. I have a special needs son, who feels like this is the greatest place he's ever been. We had a terrible experience at a different school two years ago, and he was terrified to try again. Since meeting Sensei, my son has felt empowered, strong, and accepted into this establishment like he's been training for years. The other children are welcoming, and Sensei is skilled in art as well as delivery with everyone he interacts with. The students are incredibly receptive, and my son has focused like I've never seen him do before. Sensei is also one of the best people I've ever met, rich in values and knowledge. It is a highlight in my son's life. I highly recommend this establishment for children of all skill levels.

We are so grateful that we found Marti Martial Arts Academy for our son. He has practiced at other martial arts centers before, but this is the first time that he is motivated to go multiple times a week and enthusiastically demonstrates all that he has learned to anyone who will watch! We truly appreciate how this program reinforces our values of hard work, perseverance, self-discipline and self-confidence.

We LOVE Marti Martial Arts Academy! My older son is seven and we switched from another dojo about 2 years ago and could not be happier! Sensei Jose and his sempais are absolutely amazing with the kids. Sensei incorporates character development and discipline into each session so while the kids are learning karate, they are also gaining invaluable lessons they can apply outside of the dojo. We have seen improvement in our son’s fitness level, self-confidence and discipline.
Sensei Jose loves what he does and it shows! The kids are always excited for class, and he makes sure each child gets the attention and instruction they need.
Our son is always so honored when Sensei asks him to demonstrate a technique for the class and especially when he is asked to sempai for a younger class. Sensei Jose does a great job at boosting the kids’ self esteem; he is constantly praising them which encourages them to work even harder.
Lucy, the dojo manager is so friendly and helpful, she adds such a warm, family feeling to the dojo.
There are so many wonderful things about this dojo. This place is a hidden gem! No surprise that they won the Best of Westchester Award!

Best dojo!
My younger son is 4 1/2 years old and has been receiving physical therapy twice a week for over 2 years. When his PT recommended karate classes, I wasn’t sure if he would be able to keep up with the class due to his hypotonia and his shy personality. I have seen tremendous improvement in not only his strength and coordination but also his self confidence and social skills. His PT is so impressed with his progress as well!
Sensei Jose and his sempais are absolutely outstanding with the children. The dojo manager, Lucy, is so sweet and friendly, the kids love her and she keeps the dojo running smoothly.
The dojo is a nice, clean, large space and the classes have a good number of children which encourages teamwork and socialization. The sensei and sempais are always able to give each child the attention and direction they need, even if some children may require a little extra attention at times. Sensei Jose makes each child feel special and important and they absolutely adore him for that! My son cannot wait to get on the mat so he can show Sensei how strong he is getting. I highly recommend this dojo for parents seeking to improve their child’s strength, focus, self-confidence and overall well-being.

Sensei and Senpai Molet are very supportive and patient to my son. My son is more confident now and have matured quickly because of the discipline he learned from his karate school. I receive more praise from my sons teacher and often gets alot of stars because of his hard work and cooperation in his academics. At home, my son is more of a big brother not only to his sibling but also to me and to my wife. He always reminds us about his future activities and work diligently towards his goal, which is to be the greatest student ever. Thank you and more power to Marti Martial Arts Academy.

Both my son and I started training at Marti Martial Arts Academy early this year. My son was involved in other sporting activities prior to joining this program but nothing has held his excitement as much as being a part of this amazing dojo. I can also say the exact same thing for myself, as I have spent many years at the gym, but have never achieved the milestones (both mentally and physically) that I have achieved now since joining this program.

Sensei Jose Marti is not only a highly skilled and exceptional martial artist, but he also has a way of connecting with each and every child (and parent) that walks through the doors. He’s kind and understanding, and gives his all to each student. He sets a high standard for what he expects from his students; respect, dignity, integrity, but achieves that by connecting to his students, and taking the time to be a guide imparting life lessons. Teaching integrity and respect is a huge part of his program.

The classes are taught in a way that’s fun for children of all ages and yet challenging enough that they reap the benefits of the physical aspect of the program by becoming stronger, and developing self confidence once conquering those challenges. I’ve seen such a tremendous change in my son’s behavior, in his physical activity level, and in his self confidence. He now aspires to achieve his black belt as he’s been inspired by Sensei and all of his fellow students to reach that goal. The atmosphere is one of belonging, where he has bonded with other children who have the same aspirations and has formed friendships.

I am so grateful we walked through those doors, and both my son and I are proud and excited to see what we will be able to achieve by being a part of Marti Martial Arts Academy's program.

My son has been with Marti MMA since Sept 2017 and continues to mature and get stronger in the martial arts. I love seeing him practice his kata at home so I know he's really enjoying it. Sensei and his staff have been great since day 1 taking my son in and making him feel at home. Even though he's only 8, he volunteered to be a class assistant all on his own.

Sadie has found a perfect fit at Marti Martial Arts. She has always been strong, but Sensei has taught her to focus her strength, strengthen her core, and increase her awareness of her body and how it works.

She has never been so excited and disciplined about an after school activity. Sadie is always excited to go to karate, and is incredibly motivated to excel. The connections Sensei shows his students between mind and body, and the way that translates into their lives outside of Karate, has been an invaluable lesson for Sadie.

Sadie is a stronger, more focused, more disciplined, and most importantly more aware person since she has started. We cannot wait to continue to watch her grow. We are so grateful to have found such a special place and a passionate and caring instructor.

I love Marti Martial Arts Academy. We came here to learn Self Defense techniques after my son experienced bullying.
Sensei Marti has welcomed my son with opened arms and I can't thank him and the team enough for what they have done for him so far. He has already learned SO MUCH and gained more confidence in being able to defend himself than I have thought would be possible in that short time. My son will continue to take part in several seminars and training and love the atmosphere and people a lot - you join a family here for sure!

Even though we live in Yorktown, we make the drive to Bedford Hills because we were impressed with the Sensei, his facility, and his principles. From the second we met him, we were impressed with his dedication to not only the martial arts, but the student as well. He took the time to get our son acclimated and comfortable with the dojo. Sensei measured our son's ability and motivation and even placed him in a more advanced class due to his maturity despite having never taken any classes before. He saw our son's potential and worked to nurture it, not contain it. Sensei is very dedicated to the growth of every student and greets each one and their parent(s) by name and with a smile. Our son has learned a lot in the last 3 months- coming home each time to eagerly demonstrate the new technique he has learned that day. He recently received his yellow belt and is excited to work towards his next one. We look forward to our son growing in strength and character at Marti Martial Arts Academy- a true gem in the community.

My son has been taking karate classes at Marti Martial Arts for seven months and I could not be happier with his development during that time. He is building self-confidence and learning how to be a better person, all while improving strength, focus, and coordination and mastering some amazing skills. The five principles of the Dojo are easy for young students to understand, yet very powerful and applicable to any person of any age. The program is well-rounded and the results are fantastic. More experienced students are given opportunities to help with the beginner classes and it is truly amazing to see these lessons come full circle. Sensei Marti is an amazing role model for his students (and their parents). He has an incredible amount of patience and is able to connect with every child that walks through the door, knowing that every child walks in for a different reason. He is able to show them, through his own actions, that having a positive attitude is a critical aspect in shaping experiences and dealing with challenges. The manager is extremely accommodating and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure unbeatable client service. Five stars and two thumbs up!!!

Sensei Marti and his terrific staff (all trained by Marti himself) make Marti Martial Arts a top-notch facility. Beyond expert technique, Sensei teaches his students lifelong skills of self-control, discipline, respect, courtesy, and spirit. Beyond skills alone, children that train here walk away with self-confidence and a great community experience.

I am really happy that I enrolled my daughter at Marti Martial Arts. She was very hesitant in the beginning and now she loves going to Karate. She goes into class now with spirit and smiles. Her Sensei is phenomenal with these kids. It is apparent that his own life experiences drive him to really want to help his students thrive. The support staff are also kind and encouraging. I am starting to see positive changes in Gillian's focus and confidence and she is really having fun. I look forward to seeing her test for yellow belt at the end of the month and watching her process continue.

My Son is in Kindergarten and started this year in the Dragon group. It is a wonderful program for the kids to learn about Martial arts but the goal of the program is far more reaching, Sensei's highest priority is to teach self control, give respect to yourself and others, be positive and have good character.

Sensi is an amazing teacher and role model. Both my boys love training at Marti Martial Arts Academy. We love the positive environment where the are taught to seek good character, show strong spirit, practice courtesy and control their temper. They are learning that discipline now is freedom later. Thank you to Sensi and staff for giving our boys goals and confidence!! I earned a black belt years ago and I love the adult karate and kick box classes here. An amazing workout!!

I've been a student at the academy for three years now and it's one of the best experiences I've ever had. The classes are fun yet push you to achieve your best, and the things I've learned (self defense, karate skills) will definitely transfer to real life. The teachers are some of the best people I've met - especially Sensei Marti - and always help you achieve your full potential. I really enjoy being a student at Marti Martial Arts.

Sensei Marti has found the perfect formula for training in karate. My son has been attending the dojo for 5 years and in those 5 years has learned and had reinforced the importance of hard work, respect and goals. He used to be afraid to try new physical challenges and the physical conditioning from karate has strengthened his body and he is now surfing and snowboarding - two things he was always afraid to try. He knows that with commitment and practice he can accomplish anything.

I kickbox at the dojo for cardio exercise. I have found kickboxing to be the best overall cardio and core conditioning. I would recommend Marti Martial Arts to all!

This is a clean, friendly facility that teaches top-notch technique to it's students while instilling the values of positivity, goal setting, and self-control. Each instructor is professional with years of experience to pass on to the students.

I strongly recommend this school. What makes this karate school different from others is the feeling of belonging to a family. You will not regret it. Your kids are in good hands.

My young teen daughter has been doing karate here for over a year, and it has been a fantastic experience. The program offers great physical training and conditioning, and self-defense, and my daughter is much more confident. Even more important, though, Sensei Marti is an amazing leader. He stresses character development as much as physical training. He is a fabulous role model himself. He really cares about each student, and goes out of his way to help them grow. All of the staff are likewise excellent. I cannot recommend MMAA highly enough.

We cannot say enough great things about Marti Martial Arts Academy. We brought our son there to see if they could help us with some behavior challenges we were having with him. Sensei Marti and his team were extraordinary. Between the guiding principles and the life lessons taught our son quickly excelled and learned a lot about self discipline! 5 plus years later we still love the Academy and the staff and we especially love how they care about the students and their family!!

Marti Martial Arts Academy is the best around. Ranging from the facility to the instruction of classic karate, no one is better. Sensei Marti is one of the, if not the most moral and strong man I know and I couldn t even begin to think of a better person that I would want to teach me or a friend. At the highest of levels, the best of the dojo are at the top of the pack with technical skill, technique, and respect. The level of dedication by sensei marti, sempi kim, sempi ryan, and all others in the dojo is uncomparable to any school you will find. I recommend his school over any other for karate.
