Confidence. Discipline. Strength. Respect.
At Gladiators Martial Arts, children and adults don’t just learn Taekwondo — they build stronger bodies, sharper minds and brighter futures.
Ages 4–6
A first martial arts class built for very young kids. Short, high-energy sessions where they learn to listen, follow instructions and move with control — and have a lot of fun doing it.
Free trial class
Ages 6–12
Real Taekwondo, taught properly: stance, footwork, kicks, blocks, forms and controlled partner drills. Belt testing keeps kids motivated, and we talk to parents about how it is going at school and at home.
Free trial class
Ages 13+
Conditioning, pads, technique and forms — with sparring for those who want it. Come to get in shape, come to compete, or come to clear your head after work. All three are welcome in the same room.
Free trial class
Ages 5–12
A full afternoon handled: we collect your child from school, they do their homework with a teacher nearby, then they train. Pick-up is by 6pm and your kid comes home tired in the right way.

Gladiators Martial Arts is a Taekwondo school in Brooklyn for children, teens and adults. Our classes are small on purpose: every student gets corrected, encouraged and pushed a little further each week. Beginners are welcome at any age — most of our students walked in having never thrown a kick.
Is your child spending too much time on electronics? Do you want more confidence, discipline and physical activity? Taekwondo here means developing healthy habits, building respect and discipline, improving social skills, learning leadership, and getting stronger and healthier.
What families get with us: certified and experienced instructors, a safe and positive environment, fun classes for all ages, real character development, and a supportive, welcoming community.
Kids who believe in themselves — on the mat, at school and everywhere else.
Better concentration that shows up in homework and in class.
Respect and strong character, starting with the people training next to you.
Disciplined habits: showing up, trying again, finishing what you start.
Real skills for protecting yourself, taught safely and age by age.
New friends and a strong community that families stay in for years.
Class photos, belt tests and competition days — posted every week.

No classes
My son was shy and would not speak up in class. Six months here and his teacher asked what changed. That is all I need to say.
I came to lose weight and stayed because the instruction is genuinely good. Down 30 pounds and my kicks actually look like kicks now.
The after-school program saved our week. Homework is done, she is exhausted in a good way, and I stopped rushing out of work at 3pm.
Let’s kick off a great school year with fun, friends and martial arts! Fun games, music, prizes, pizza and new friends. Ages 3–8 at 4:30 PM, ages 8 and up at 6:00 PM. Invite your friends!
No — that is most of our students. The first classes are built around fundamentals, and nobody is asked to spar or compete. Your child will be with other beginners.
Comfortable clothes, a water bottle and bare feet. We provide everything else for the trial class — buy a uniform only once you decide to stay.
Kids classes are non-contact or light-contact only, always supervised, and protective gear is required for any partner work. Sparring is optional, age-gated and never a surprise — parents are told in advance.
Students test when their instructor says they are ready — not on a fixed calendar. You will know weeks in advance, and we will tell you exactly what your child needs to show.
Pricing depends on the program and how many days a week you train. Call or message us and we will tell you the exact number.
Yes, and several of ours did. You set the intensity — the technique work is the same, the conditioning scales to you. Tell the instructor about any injuries before class.
Ask in your own words — you will get an answer straight away.
