What Our Students Say
Marta N.
My 8-year-old daughter has been training at Middlebury Martial Arts Academy for over a year now, starting as a white belt and proudly earning her green belt. The progress she’s made has been incredible—not just in martial arts skills, but also in confidence, focus, and discipline. The instructors are supportive, encouraging, and great with kids. She’s also had the opportunity to participate in several tournaments, which have been fun, well-organized, and great learning experiences. We’re so grateful for the positive environment and the growth we’ve seen in her. One of many best parts is that she’s made a bunch of great friends along the way, and she genuinely looks forward to every class. We definitely recommend MMAA to any parent looking to build both strength and character in their child!

The place is great to teach your child responsibility and commitment. Our daughter has been going here for over. A year and we can see the growth in her. I recommend to everyone giving it a try for all ages
LV P
My daughter started her karate adventure when she was just 3.5yrs old, first in a little dragons class and now she is about to move to the green belt level. We enjoy watching her practice and execute all the moves and see how disciplined and confident she became, both in the karate studio and at school. Joining karate with Middlebury Martial Arts Academy was the right decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our martial arts program
Does Martial Arts Training Ever Turn Kids Into Bullies? Bullies are rooted in insecurity and fear. But our Middlebury kids martial arts classes grow confidence, focus, and respect. And our group training builds positive social skills and confidence. So long story short: No! Your child won’t become a bully, and there are no bullies in our classes either!
Should Parents Stay And Watch? That is up to you! If you need some ‘me time’ — go grab a coffee and relax. Your child is in great hands. If you’d like to stay and observe, you’re welcome to do that as well, and make friends with the other parents. We’ve got a great community here in our Middlebury martial arts school and can’t wait for you to become part of it.
Do I Need To Be Fit For This? No way! Some folks come to us who have never exercised in their lives. Others have athlete-level fitness. That’s the beauty of martial arts — everyone starts at the same place. And although you’re in a group setting, you’re on your own personal journey. Some people advance faster than others. Every pace is okay. There’s no ego here in our Middlebury kids and adult martial arts classes. Just support and positivity.
How Long Until I Get My Black Belt? There is no real answer for this! And we’d urge you to be cautious of any school that gives you one. The truth is, the path to black belt is a deeply personal and individual journey. Some folks have natural talent and practice hard every day. Other people need to spend more time building coordination and fitness. It’s not about getting to black belt, it’s about you becoming a better version of yourself along the way. As you train, overcome obstacles, make friends, find support — you’ll become a stronger you, inside and out. And our instructors here at Middlebury Martial Arts Academy Middlebury are committed to you every step.

What Do I Need To Bring To My First Martial Arts Lesson?

It’s perfectly natural to be nervous your first time, too. Happens to everyone! As soon as you see how kind and welcoming our community here is, that will disappear.
I'm Not Very Sporty Or Coordinated, Will That Be A Problem? Not at all! Middlebury men, women, and children of all fitness levels come to us, whether it’s for kids or adult martial arts.
