Machida Karate Academy

My son loves going here. I have a martial arts background. This is the best place to go if you want your child to learn good self defense, respect, team dynamics and discipline.

We’ve had an amazing experience at Machida Karate. Both of my boys absolutely love it and look forward to every class. Sensei Weber and Bruno are incredible—patient, motivating, and great with kids while still keeping the training structured and disciplined. Sensei Chinzo is an amazing owner and an outstanding teacher. You can tell he truly cares about every student’s growth and confidence. Highly recommend Machida Karate to any parent looking for a positive, high-quality martial arts program!

Machida has been an amazing experience for our 5 year old son! He joined for summer camp and loved it so much we signed up for the monthly membership! Everyone at Machida has been great and amazing with Kids! My son has gained confidence in his ability to protect himself as well learned how to control his emotions and center himself. Super grateful for Senseis who have all been excellent, special shout out to Sensei Weber for his patience and natural gift of working with children!

This dojo has been a wonderful experience for our family. The staff is awesome, the instructors are amazing, and the environment is very family-friendly with a strong sense of camaraderie. The facilities are spotless and although it's been established for years, it still looks brand new. Most importantly, my son has gained confidence, strength, coordination, and a sense of belonging - which is difficult for those on the spectrum. I would absolutely recommend this dojo to anyone looking for a great martial arts program. And I'd like to make a special shout-out to Caroline for helping us with everything, thank you!

If you are looking for Excellence, Here it IS!! If you want to be the BEST you have to TRAIN with the best.. Sensei Lyoto and Chinzo Machida are not only great instructors but great practitioners of Karate as well. They bring their experiences of real fighting from their mixed martial arts success and deliver their knowledge to their students in such a graceful manner. They make it very easy to learn from them while motivating and helping their students reach for their full potentials. They offer beginner level classes for kids all they way up to the advanced levels for even the experienced blackbelt to enjoy. Their teaching is methodical and systematic and it appeals to those looking for a practical approach to their training for self defense skill development as well. They have plenty of parking available around the area and their facility is the nicest you will ever see. Their dojo is clean, pleasing to the eyes and very Japanese. They even offer a free class trial in case you want to check out their work outs. It looks like Machida Karate Academy is here to stay and I would highly recommend stopping by and giving it a try if u want a quality based and family environment for yourself or your kids. Two thumbs up!!
