Building is very nice and well maintained but parking is very difficult.Instructors are very good and patient especially with kids. Many of the instructors are UFC champions so they are very well qualified in martial arts, but still maintain patience with kids and know how to talk with them appropriately.The class schedule is also flexible and if you can't make a class you can attend a different one another day in the week.

Quite literally the best dojo. My daughter came here for around 2 years? We loved all the senseis. Everyone is always warm, welcoming and friendly. My daughter loved it and grew so much here. Very highly recommend

My 2 kids started from ages 6 and 10, they are now 12 and 16, my son is now assisting the classes and the instructors/senseis have all been such great mentors. My son would not be who he is today if we hadn’t found this dojo. Both their grades are As, they are so respectful/respected, responsible, kind, caring, and so mature. I can’t thank our senseis enough, they are the nicest people you will ever meet, but still strict, but full of love, they really care about each and every one of their students. And my son is the same, he will take anyone under his wings and help the best he can to get to the next belt, the next goal, the next step even if baby steps. It’s not easy to continue to improve yourself every day it takes a lot of work, discipline and dedication. It’s not cheap, but it is priceless, my kids will take the learnings all throughout their lives. You don’t have to go just for the belt, the color is not what determines you- it’s how you improve yourself, stay fit and learn skills to defend yourself and feel good about yourself, regardless of what belt you are. And teaching children values that is beyond any belt color.

My wife and I have been taking our son here since before the pandemic and continued well after the pandemic. The level of excitement and joy the staff brings to our son and each child that comes here can be seen on a daily basis. Not only is my son learning self-defense, but he has become more well-behaved and disciplined in everything he does. I have never seen a bunch of kids more excited to learn. We owe a great thanks to Sensei Chinzo Machida, Sensei Weber Almeida, and Sensei Bruno Souza for their hard work and dedication to our son and the families attending Machida Karate. My wife and I hope Machida Karate continues to grow because they have built a wonderful family community.

I'm providing feedback for the online school. Sadly, I am unable to attend in-person training because of my competing responsibilities in life. I came across the Machida virtual school and thought it was a fantastic additional training resource. It functions very similarly to the college system at Gracie University. The videos are very detailed and include a wealth of knowledge, just like you would get from attending in person. For those in my situation who want to learn Machida Karate style, I would highly suggest the online course.

They have great instructors for their little dragon program. They make it fun for the kids, but still work on fundamentals.

We've been taking our boys here for some time now. The senseis are awesome; always enthusiastic, professional, and incredibly patient when the little one's would rather run around and scream than pay attention! We can't imagine bringing our kids to any other dojo. Also, the facility is huge and clean.As the students go up in their belts, the instruction becomes more focused on their skills but appropriately, more fun and cardio based with basic teachings for the younger ones. It's also a huge plus knowing that the senseis are real fighters and it's very cool to be able to watch them fight either live or via youtube. I really don't see any minuses!

We love it here. My daughter is in the Youth Samurai class (age 7-11) and she is learning self defense and discipline while having fun and gaining confidence at the same time. The senseis here are real professional fighters and champs, so they know what they're doing and talking about. They're great with the kids. They have patience and really good energy, which rubs off on everyone. The facility is ideal. It's big, open, and clean. There could be a lot of kids, but the place is spacious so it doesn't feel like it's crowded. As a parent, I feel safe and comfortable bringing my child here.

If you want to teach your kids good karate, discipline, respect, and focus this is the best place for your child. The trainers are amazing, Sensei Chinzo and Sensei Weber are awesome. Specifically for kids who are between ages 5 and 7 Sensei Weber connects well with the kids and make the karate sessions fun so kids stay focused and as well as learn cool techniques and routines. Machida Academy is the perfect place to learn karate for everyone small kids to adults of any age.
