Our three branches served the communities of Rochester, Brighton, Pittsford, Henrietta, Penfield, Fairport and Webster (as well as surrounding towns such as Perinton, Gananda, Macedon, Rush and Irondequouit). Martial Arts America has taught thousands of students the benefits of training in the martial arts.

I want to personally welcome you to the Penfield branch of Martial Arts America. It would be my honor to teach and inspire you or your child. We do our best to make everyone feel safe, welcomed, and motivated to better themselves and others. We will make sure your experience with us is unforgettable.
Our Webster location is easy to access, right off Empire Boulevard and Creek Street (near Bay Town Plaza). Plenty of parking and easy access. Jon and his assistant instructors are looking forward to introducing you and your family to the world of martial arts. Improving people's lives through the martial arts is our passion and we'd like to share that passion with you.
Starting a child in martial arts at a young age gives them the tools and ability to be more confident, focused and self-controlled. These skills are the foundation for future success in everything they will do. Our instructors will help your young child learn important life-lessons such as listening, following directions and being polite and respectful.
Your child will love this class - it's the perfect blend of fun, focus and skill! Young children have very special needs when it come to a group activity and karate lessons at Martial Arts America will fill those needs perfectly. Children in this class (we call them Tigers) are ages 4 - 6 years old.
That's a quote from a mother who was amazed and delighted by the positive change in her child after he started karate lessons. For over 35 years, we've seen thousands of children improve their discipline, concentration, respect and overall attitude within a short period of time with lessons at our school.

Fantastic curriculum! Our daughter’s confidence and perseverance has grown so much since she started. MMA is more than just karate-it’s about life skills too!

My 3 children have been attending the Brighton Dojo for six months, and love it. I have been pleasantly surprised to see them all grow in confidence and initiating positive social interactions as well the benefits of physical activity that I expected when we signed up.
My 7 year old daughter has significant complex medical and developmental needs, and Sensei Matt has been wonderful in finding solutions to accommodate and include her in class. We recently had her IEP meeting at school and her physical therapist asked what activities she participates in out in the community because her strength

Knowledgeable, caring instructors weave important life skills into each lesson. Excellent place for kids to learn and grow guided by positive role models. The dojo is very family oriented and my son has been taking lessons there for the past 4 years. Our family loves it here!

Really great place for the little ones to learn essential life skills. The senseis' ability to make little kids (kindergarden or younger) focus is absolutely amazing.
