Started at Buzz Martial Arts a few months ago. Heard of the school and met the instructor through the kids i worked with in UES NYC at that time who were taking martial classes with him and they loved it. I got to sit in one class to watch and it seemed a lot of fun! I was amazed to see how the instructor had the kids under control and besides teaching them physical fitness and martial art techniques the kids learn discipline, and respect for each other as well which is really important in today's world! The instructor was strict and had a fun way to get the kids to follow instructions and they seemed to enjoy it very much indeed (..like screaming certain korean words out loud at the same time)! The children were eager to learn self defense techniques with each other (they thought "its sooo cool"). I also observed that it helped kids with developing a stronger self-confidence which is also an important factor nowadays amongst children). To the suggestions to my little ones that "i should try it too, its so much fun", i gave it a try and i liked it!! I did have some previous martial experience (from a long time ago) and forgot how much fun it is. You get a good physical training, techniques to defend yourself, sparring, forms, and learn principles like integrity, spirit, focus, breath control, concentration, self confidence etc. Real martial art is NOT just about "physical fighting"! Not at all! If you watch real martial art movies, it is actually about developing a mind-body-spirit connection/balance, strengthening your mind and your body. I got tired of my gym time anyway and this is sooooo much more interesting and so much more fun then just lifting weights in a gym. Plus you get to work out with others, in a fun (sometimes competitive way, which i like b/c i grew up doing sports and competing in school). i highly recommend it to anyone for getting stronger, loosing weight, learning self defense or whatever reason you might or might not have. Just do it! give it a try! :) read more

My son Coby began attending Buzz Martial Arts as a docile 6 year old. The owner, Mr. B, gave him a trial lesson to be sure my son was comfortable. He began attending 3 to 4 days per week and loved it more than any after school activity he has done before or since. At the end of every summer he is so excited to return from camp to Buzz Martial Arts classes. The lessons of discipline and self defense have given my son confidence, endurance, and washboard abs. He is still a docile boy but he has twice been faced with a physical confrontation where his martial arts training was impressively engaged to PREVENT a fight. We moved from the upper east side to Westchester when he was 9 and enrolled him at a seemingly fine local martial arts school. His enthusiasm waned. I asked him why and he said, "its just not Buzz". He is now almost 12 and virtually every week I bring Coby from Westchester to attend classes at Buzz Martial Arts. He is happy as ever. I highly recommend Buzz Martial Arts whether your child aspires to become a black belt tournament competitor or just wants to exercise and have fun. Mr. B gives equal attention to his aggressive teenaged black belt students as the 5 and 6 year old boys and girls who are just beginners. He treats the children with respect and teaches them to treat each other with respect. Bryan R. read more

I've been training at Buzz Martial Arts for over four years now. I know for sure that the instructor Mr.B with other instructors such as Ms. Kim and Mark have us do training that no other martial arts school would do. We don't only practice tae kwon do and its techniques, but we also practice doing sparring, take downs, grappling, and other training that involves fighting. This is what makes Buzz Martial Arts very unique and different from other martial art schools, because of the training and teaching that happens every time the school is open. Not only the training and teaching is what makes Buzz Martial Arts significant and impressing, but also the fun events that occur. For instance, there's Mr.B's father Mr. Dino who teaches the students of The BMA Soccer Club every Saturday afternoon. Another example is the Halloween Party that always occurs every year in late October in which the kids are all looking forward to it. Practically, no other martial school can possibly be as significant and great as Buzz Martial Arts. Forget any other karate after school place this is the place to be! read more

I've trained here for the better part of the last ten years and had the honor of contributing as a volunteer instructor at various points in that period, and to be perfectly honest: it's been one of the greatest experiences of my life! This school is a community and it has the ability to make leaders out of dedicated students and allow the cycle of the martial arts to continue. The staff is passionate about the art and always trying to find new ways to keep their school community involved and invigorated. Regardless of what you wish to accomplish, you WILL do it (and more) by training here and putting in the time and patience. read more

Buzz Martial Arts is great. I starred last year but it is way better than Korea. Our teachers ( Mr.B, Mrs. Kim, Mr.Marc) are all very serious.

All of my friends tell me the Halloween party is going to be so scary.Mr.Dino is going to play soccer with us and give us pizza. Our school rocks! read more
