Services
Located in the heart of Massapequa, the Martial Arts Institute has been serving Massapequa and the surrounding community for over 30 years. Our modern, 3500 square foot, air-conditioned training facility features state-of-the-art safety equipment, a fully-equipped weight room, changing facilities for male and female students, and a lobby/seating area for parents to observe classes in progress.
The Arango Karate System is a careful combination of several Martial Arts. This ensures our students receive the most effective form of self-defense, confidence and physical conditioning possible. As students progress they are taught a broad range of martial arts techniques including the kicking methods of Tae Kwon Do, the hand techniques of popular Chinese and Japanese styles and the in-fighting and grappling methods of Judo and Jiu Jitsu.
All of our instructors are not only examples of our martial arts system, but also our Leadership Program. Each teaching black belt instructor is hand-selected by their specialty. Whether it be Personal Protection, Bully and Abduction Prevention, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or our award-winning Martial Arts Program, they will provide the most positive, educational and motivating program in a safe, fun & challenging classroom environment.
New students at the Martial Arts Institute can look forward to a personal evaluation and introduction to the school by one of our licensed staff instructors. Every student is treated as an individual with respect given to their abilities and limitations. By safely pushing you up to and, in time, past your preconceived limits, you will soon find yourself embracing a "can do" mentality in all areas of your life.
Our children's classes are focused on specific children's needs. We teach them the same curriculum as our adults, but at a pace and understanding just for them. Our students, when faced with peer pressure, have the courage and discipline to make positive choices. Our goal is to create leaders who stand tall and walk with confidence.

The concept behind tiger Schulmann's is great, the lessons they teach are awesome. The one year contract they push on young kids, that parents and kids can't get out of is criminal.

If you’re looking for a place for yourself or your child to learn respect, discipline, and an array of martial arts this is the place! Sensei Anthony is a wonderful teacher and the positivity from his dojo is wonderful . My son is becoming more confident, and the change in him in just a short few months is amazing!

The owner seemed really nice and is an excellent martial artist with years of experience training under the most famous names in the martial arts including the Gracie Family. It was an honor to learn so much from him. I would recommend this school for martial artists, competitors, and fighters.

I started here when I was 13. Took a few years off here and there but always find my way back. This is a sparring school with advanced fighters. Everyone will work with you. As students improve, so does the school. This school has a culture to make everyone better. I couldn't ask for a better place to train.

Your local school with a national reputation training champions since 1981. I have been training here for over 10 years and could not be happier. The instructors here are amazing. They want to see you succeed and are going to push you to your limits to make you the best you can be. Everyone who trains here is like a big family who want to see you get better. Everyone helps each other and pushes each other. You can join for whatever reason you want. Whether its just for exercise, to become a black belt, or to compete in tournaments. There are local tournaments or national tournaments in different

My 3 kids have had unique experiences at the dojo. My son has learned to focus at home and at school; My daughter has a place that she can spar and get an intense workout and my youngest daughter was very shy. She did not want to talk to anyone and did not want to participate in group activities. 2 years at the Martial Arts Institute she loves to train. She laughs and she participates in school. She has come out of her shell and is excited to train. I'm extremely happy at the positive influence the dojo has had on my children.
