My 4 year old daughter loves this place! Since the beginning, they were all very attentive, professional and friendly. They are family-owned and make you feel like family. This place is also very clean and they do an amazing job cleaning after each class. I highly recommend this place!

Waverly Martial Arts is a class act. The instructors are amazing! Very considerate and genuine and truly care about what they do and seeing you meet your personal best both in fitness and discipline. Our daughter was struggling with focus and since her attending there she has done a complete 180 and is flourishing in all areas and is so excited to go to class. My wife and I have joined kickboxing there and we have never felt better! They observe you and find a way to push you to reach for more! I highly recommend WMA for all ages and fitness levels. Love love love WMA # YES I CAN!!!

We love this martial arts studio. This is not your typical, punch, kick and break boards school. Their hybrid style of self defense and personal growth is creative and wonderful for children. My only regret is I didnt sign my kids up sooner. My wife has also joined the kickboxing classes and is seeing great results.The Sensei and Sempai are very good at what they do. They are patient, encouraging and fun. I recommend them to all my friends with kids that need to burn off steam, have fun and learn some life skills.

I would definitely recommend Waverly Martial Arts. When I started almost 4 years ago, I was a very shy person. I had low confidence and I believed that I wouldn’t achieve much there. The WMA family proved me wrong. They encouraged me and was there for me the entire way. I was greatly supported and by using their “Yes I Can” attitude, they made me believe I could accomplish anything I wanted to. They built up my confidence and my self-esteem. The environment there is extremely clean and filled with wonderful people. I have made many great friends there that I couldn’t imagine living without. They don’t just teach martial arts. They teach many valuable life skills like discipline, respect, honesty, courage, self esteem, etc. I can now talk in front of a room of people with confidence. Giving me a positive attitude, high self-esteem, self love, courage, self discipline, respect, honesty, and so much more, they have made me into the person who I am today. I thank Waverly Martial Arts so much for all they have done for me and would definitely recommend it to others interested in joining our community!

I have been going there as a student for over 10 years now. I cannot even explain the amount of character building, respect and discipline that I’ve established for myself there. It has improved my life throughout middle school and high school greatly. As a black belt, I still learn a multitude of self defense moves. It’s all like one great family over here!

Waverly Martial Arts has changed our lives for the best!. I am so grateful I chose this path for my 3 children ages 5,6 & 9. A Family oriented Martial Arts School that extends a balance of physical strength/coordination/defense and positive personal character building above and beyond the Dojo. The devotion, knowledge, motivation and support the Senseis have shared with my children is seen in the positive change/ growth my son and daughters have revealed, not just to myself but more importantly to THEMSELVES. That they can!! All children are unique and my reasons/needs for enrolling them are just as different. In just a few months I saw significant difference in their focus, coordination, responsibility, and grades at school. My middle child was a very timid child who would cry easily. She was reluctant to enter Karate but once she made the choice herself she gained such tremendous confidence while having fun!!!! Its such a wonderful feeling as a Parent to watch your children develop and grow in a positive, warm, disciplined environment. There are only gains at WMA. I know that we have a long future together as being a part of the WMA Family because thats exactly how you are welcomed each and every class. Dont hesitate! Become a part of an opportunity that can bring out the best in you and your family!!! Thank you Sensei Bill, Sensei Bob, Sensei Jackie and the extended team for all you do!!

Amazing atmosphere and energy all around the minute you walk into this place. .. I would be lying if i said I didnt see a difference in our childs attitude and self esteem from the very first class. Shes litterally beaming with pride after every class. There is a ton of places you can practice martial arts but this is the only place with Jackie and Bobby and there wonderful staff !! makes me wish I was a kid again and could have as much fun as these kids are having at Waverly martial arts.

The kickboxing class is amazing!! I saw results faster than I ever did from any other workout routine I did. The environment is very supportive and absolutely nonjudgmental. Everyone there is there for the same goal, bettering themselves. A mixture of solo and group workouts during the kickboxing class allows for everyone to encourage and cheer each other on therefore creating bonds among the classmates, which makes you actually WANT to go to a workout class. I highly recommend Waverly Martial Arts!!!

I absolutely love this place. I have been kickboxing at a few different places throughout the years. Ur this one is by far my favorite. I love that Im am challenged every time I hit the mat. I often leave sore which is what I want to see results. I have lost 8 pounds in two months which is awesome. I have more endurance on the soccer field and I have a lot of fun working out with friends. Bobby and Jackie always keep your accountable and push you to achieve. Your highest potential. Both my boys took their karate classes and were very motivated. Highly recommend them for both kickboxing and karate.

Waverly Martial Arts classes have been the BEST investment I have made for my daughters self-esteem, health and all-around demeanor. The instructors are phenomenal with the students and beam positivity and respect. Even the students were welcoming to my daughter on day one and made her feel like she belonged. Then when you interact with the great family that owns and runs the school, you’ll realize what a hidden gem they are on Waverly Ave. Stop reading and call them. You’ll be SO happy you did.

When my pediatrician recommended martial arts for my 5 year old son, I was doubtful it would show any real results. The incredible staff and curriculum at Waverly Martial Arts proved me wrong within just a few weeks. They are an extraordinary group of caring, fun people who guide children through high energy classes that while being genuinely fun, also teach self discipline, morals, control and focus. My son has improved greatly in school since starting at Waverly Martial Arts, even his teacher has commented on his improved focus and behavior! Highly highly recommend!

By far the best martial arts school around! They are warm, welcoming and very enthusiastic about what they do. This school doesnt just teach martial arts, they foster positive character traits and life skills such as kindness, compassion, honesty, respect and responsibility and they do it a fun and nurturing environment that keeps the kids engaged. As a parent, I couldnt ask for better role models for my children and we are so proud to be a part of the Waverly Martial Arts family!

Waverly Martial Arts has changed my family for the better. My daughter started Martial Arts in September and was extremely shy. It only took a week before she came out of her shell in her 3-5 year old class. She is SO much more confident in herself and has been listening better at home. Martial Arts has taught her much more than self defense. She is learning how to focus better, the meaning of responsibility & standing up for herself when necessary. I have joined kickboxing at Waverly Martial Arts and I am getting stronger everyday. I just feel better all around when I am done with a class there. Anyone, in any shape can take a class. If you cant do something, they will modify it for you. Overall, its a wonderful feeling to go to a place that when you step in the door, you feel its more like family rather than a business.

Waverly Martial Arts is an awesome place for children and adults. It helps children gain confidence in themselves and its enjoyable. The adults get to gain confidence in themselves with kickboxing, which I am about to do a trial run and see if thats the way for me to work out. I have tried gyms and maybe I just need more of a routine type thing. Either way, its definitely a great place!!

Waverly Martial Arts has been such a positive experience for my son. The patience of every staff member who works with my son, who admittedly struggles with focus, has been amazing. Hes growing and learning so much. I would recommend WMA to anyone looking for an extra curricular activity to exercise your childs body and mind.

I decided to give Waverly Martial Arts a try after seeing a promotion for their adult kickboxing class; Im so glad I found them! Their staff is great, their class is amazing and the group of individuals that comprise those kickboxing classes are extremely supportive. At no time did I feel like I couldnt do the class (and Im as uncoordinated as they come); by taking these classes Ive become more confident and have found a way to get into shape in a fun way. Their class is fun (and hard!), the music is great, and its a fantastic community of individuals who cheer each other on and push each other to be the best they can be. I highly recommend Waverly Martial Arts.

I joined the adult martial arts class a few weeks ago, and it has been an awesome experience so far! Its a crazy good workout, and super satisfying to see your own progress in learning a new potentially useful skill. Most importantly to me, its really fun, and thats what keeps me coming back.The Sensais are fantastic and very knowledgeable. Everyone has great attitudes, and doing partner or group drills with the other students is a blastHighly recommend anyone to try it out!

I attended this school for 10 years. It was easily the best decision made in my entire life and even after I left (to go to college) I keep finding myself coming back to see how the school has improved over the years. The relationships I built with other students and the teachers are indelible.

From the moment I walked in with my son for his first meeting, Its been fantastic! Everyone has been so nice. I wasnt sure if my son was going to like karate, but with their phenomenal 6-week trial price you cant go wrong to at least try it. My son loves it...he counts down the days until his next karate class. A happy child is a happy mommy.

Waverly Martial Arts is such a positive place to surround yourself and your family with! This establishment is way more than punching and kicking. The instructors do a phenomenal job with instilling life skills with their students. No wonder why they were voted the Best Martial Arts school on Long Island for the last 4 years in a row! I highly recommend WMA to anyone that has thought about karate whether it’s for their kids or themselves as well as adult kickboxing classes. All solid programs! 5 stars for me!

Review №35

Absolutely deserves all 5 stars and than some!!! We are so happy our family is now part of the WMA family. I enrolled my son (6 1/2 yrs) in the 7-13 group. I knew he would be the younger of the class but I also knew that he was mature enough to challenge him a little. Sensai Bobby and Sensai Jackie could not be more patient with my every question. Within less than eight weeks needed to test for his next belt, my son did it!!! Shout out to Senpai Johnny and Senpai Grace. They both are awesome with these kids and bring so much positive energy to each class. We strive to use the “Yes I can” attitude in our everyday life. I love that my son strives to be the best he can every time he hits that mat. #proudWMAmom.

Review №37

My son started with them in September and we are extremely pleased with his progress! He LOVES karate and wishes he could go all the time. My son was only 3 years old at the time and Waverly prefers that kids are at least 4. Sensei Bobby invited my son down for a little one on one and after a quick evaluation my son was invited into the program early. The staff is AMAZING with the kids. They are very in touch with the parents as well and even go so far to arrange opportunities for the parents to get together and mingle. Very family oriented and very friendly yet professional place.

As parents of children addicted to electronics I think we all look for something to take them away from fortnight or Road blox. As any other parent we tried soccer and baseball. But the hot sun, Gnats flying into our mouths and poor times slots affected us as much as them. My ex and I decided to try martial arts. We found Waverly. We took the opportunity of one of their low cost trials and free uniform to give this a try. Their multiple time slots during the week made it easy for two working parents, in two separate homes, for one if not both of us to make it to classes. Our daughter quickly fell in love with Martial Arts as did we. Weve all be at a competitive sports event with our children and had encountered parents yelling, kids fighting. This happens because in sports like soccer and Baseball all that matters is the W (win). At Waverly the only competition your child has is within themself. The attitude here is Yes I Can! The children are taught that there is no failure when they refuse to give up. One more push up one more sit up is a victory. Each child is taught that they are responsible for not only themselves but their classmates. They cheer and support one another. Theres no one left behind as they succeed as a team. Each child is taught to support one another. In the 2 plus years i have never encountered any negative interaction amongst the kids. When they step on the mat, white belt to black belt they all deserve equal respect and are given it. The Sempais have 15+ years of training and the Sensais (The Roeder Family) have 30+ years of experience. Other classes are offered such as their Sempai leadership training program which costs less than ten cups of that fancy venti latte people wast money on each month. I can tell you from experience that it is worth every penny. Want your child to grow past you expectations I suggest you give Waverly a try. Your child will make new friends and I can tell you that YOU will make new friends. When you step thru those doors everyone is family.

Review №55

For my first kickboxing class, I was nervous because I was checking it out alone, and I didnt have any experience. Sensei Bobby was instructing and did an AMAZING job integrating me into the class without making me feel like a new person, and without slowing the class down. Its a fun, high energy class, and variations to drills are always shown (to make them easier or more challenging). The class is what you make of it, and theres always lots of support from the other members through clapping, shouting quick words of encouragement, or just a friendly reminder to keep going! Class sizes arent too big or too small. Definitely a place to check out, and Im happy I found it!

Looking for great curriculum? Looking to build up your childs self esteem? Help them with discipline and integrity, social skills and self motivation? Well my child needed all of this and got it and then some. My child has been going to WMA for 2 years now and it has changed her life and ours, oh and not to mention WMA got our child into shape and taught her some serious self defense moves. The staff is amazing, very helpful and very accomodating. Even as parents not students, we learned alot about our child through WMA. I hope that my child sticks with this for the rest of her life. Thank you WMA, you have had a tremendous positive impact on our lives.

Review №61

I absolutely LOVE being a part of the WMA family! My son started karate 3 1/2 years ago and I started kickboxing there about a year after. The senseis and sempeis that teach the kids are such amazing people- they all are so kind and encouraging. My son recently moved up to the adult class and is now a sempei himself. When he started years ago he was so quiet and timid. Now I see a confidence and maturity about him that makes me so proud. The kickboxing class is my home away from home. The people I workout with have truly become family- our kids have become friends while sitting together during our class. It is such a relaxed atmosphere and everyone from the instructors to your workout buddies are so encouraging. Everyone goes at their own pace according to their goals and fitness level which is so reassuring, especially when you are first starting! Kickboxing is great for all ages over 18- my parents recently started at 61 years old after seeing how much I enjoyed it. My dad goes to class more than me now- and thats alot!! I could seriously go on and on about how much I love WMA but I think everyone should just check it out for themselves!! :)

I was on the edge about joining kick boxing because I did not know what it was going to be like, but the second I walked through the doors everyone was so welcoming and nice. Each class is never the same. The instructors are constantly changing up the work outs and always make sure you push yourself. Joining kickboxing at Waverly Martial Arts has been one of the best decisions I made. I unfortunately had to leave because of an ankle injury, but if it was not for that I would have stayed joined for ever. Once I am fully healed I plan to go back. You will deff burn a sweat and get your moneys worth.

Karate school like no other, family run and done from the heart. The entire staff is friendly, polite, talented and fun. My daughter becomes more focused and disciplined each class. Every time we go there i am just as inspired as she is. A clean classroom and bright happy environment. Once on the mats all students are equal and given the utmost attention. My daughter loves going. Watching the class Im not sure who has more fun the students or the teachers. They have an awesome trial period deal come see sensei Bill and you will be glad you did. This is the best activity my daughter is involved in by far, thumbs up for WMA.

Absolutely wonderful! The energy in the room is amazing- I find myself wanting to join the fun 😁😁😁. The instructors are truly attentive and kind to the children.

The fact that the Senseis & Senpais take the time to know each child and be supportive before, during, and after the class is such a great feeling. From the moment we walked in Waverly Martial Arts we felt welcome and most importantly my son feels inspired and confident in learning while having fun! I really dont think I can put into words the level of positivity in the room, its an uplifting and enjoyable place to be! Thank you all for creating and having us take part in such an amazing experience!

Review №79

I needed my nephew to learn discipline, self confidence and self worth. His background made it impossible for him to achieve any of the three. I was never a parent and knew the one thing that would set him on the right path was structure, respect and a sense of pride. I found that at WMA after a long search of local places.I have watched my nephew grow from a child who would not look anyone in the eye, was standoffish and very little self worth to a child who has excelled in most aspects of life. I can not tell you how it makes me feel to see the positive growth he currently enjoys. Most kids who come from his background, dont make it. He is well on his way to succeed in life. I cant tell you how thankful I am that this has worked as planned. This has been the best experience for him.Other parents of his teammates in other sports have noticed the DRASTIC difference in my nephew and have asked what I thought was so helpful in him rounding the corner. I tell them I firmly believe the structure, discipline and LEADERSHIP at WMA has helped lay a foundation that helped my nephew shed the past, be proud of himself and to be able to look to the future with confidence and an expectation to succeed.

Ive watched a lot of people work with kids and get frustrated . But when it comes to Bobby and Jackie theyre amazing. They have such a gift working with kids. I would leave my child there anytime. They are patient kind loving and they encourage the children . No better place for the kids to be.

My son has been attending Waverly martial arts for 2 years. The senseis have an incredible and true connection with every student that walks thru their doors. They have a natural knack for understanding children and families that cannot be taught and many teachers dont have. Im continuously proud and impressed by their natural ability to guide and support their students and families. You wont find a better dojo than Waverly Martial Arts.

This school will improve your quality of life in every single area you can think of. I am a 46 year old male and found this school 4 years ago after a doctors visit. I thought I was in good shape and felt good except for being tired all the time. My doctor did not agree. High blood pressure, two brothers with type two diabetes, and heart disease all run in my family. He said start exercising or insulin is in my future. I started with Karate first and shortly after began kick boxing as well. The first day was rough. I was clumsy and slow. Nobody judged me and all I ever got was encouragement and support and I got better. After the first week I was sore everyday but it passed. Today I dont need naps because I have energy on tap, my blood pressure is down and diabetes is not in my future. I feel good about myself, I have made great friends here and now I help them. My weight is the lowest it has been since high school. I used to get back aches if I twisted the wrong way that would hurt so bad I couldnt walk....it hasnt happened in 4 years. The hardest part was walking in the door but after I did I found someplace that I can go for an hour a day just for me....and it changed my life. It can change yours just as easy. Come down and try it and try to prove me wrong. You will never find a more positive place to be. The instructors at this school are knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. Every student is there for two reasons, to better themselves and others around them..

Great challenging Kickboxing for adults - Id say the best part is that Sensei Bobby & Mel teach the classes in a way that makes everybody feel comfortable and provide great options for people at varied skill levels.Motivating, never boring, never predictable and ALWAYS a great work out!I never leave without a soaked tank top!So glad I found this hidden gem :)

I just started going to adult martial arts classes here and its fantastic! I have only been to 4 classes so far and I feel like Ive learned so much in a short amount of time.By the end of the class, everyone is covered in sweat, completely exhausted, and Im already looking forward to the next time I can come back when I walk out the door. On top of getting exercise and feeling good, its a lot of fun and feels like a big family!

Our son has been a student at Waverly Martial Arts for 10 years,he started when he was 5 in the little ninjas program.Under the guidance and teachings of Sensei Bill,Bob and Jackie he has become a well rounded young man.He has developed many important values that have contributed to his continued success in school,home and at the karate studio. We feel that because Waverly Martial Arts is a family owned and operated studio they provide the same morals and values we instill on our son at home,This combination provides his continued positive growth in life.When you enroll your son/daughter at Waverly you will begin an investment in your childs future that will bring years of positive results....John and Susan

My son started karate at Waverly Martial Arts a little over a year ago. He is a very active boy and is learning important skills including discipline,focus, coordination and strength. In addition, karate has improved his motor skills, which has had a direct impact on skills outside the dojo such as learning how to ride a bicycle, navigating the playground and playing various kinds of sports. Most of all, he is learning how to respect others and be a team player. Waverly Martial Arts also has great kickboxing classes offered almost every day of the week. I have been attending them for about 2 months now and have had great results. Sensei Bobby caters to all fitness levels, demonstrating each drill with modifications to make it easier or more challenging. My family highly recommends Waverly Martial Arts and we are so glad to be a part of it.

Ive been training at Waverly Martial Arts for 4 months now. I attend adult Karate and Kickboxing classes there. Both Sensei Bill and Sensei Bobby have been encouraging and inspiring instructors. They make learning new skills enjoyable while challenging you to constantly improve yourself. I always leave with a sense of accomplishment. Ive seen an improvement within myself while training there and have incorporated a more self-confident attitude in my every day life.
