How many martial arts schools are in North Carolina?

This directory lists 1,316 schools in 253 cities across North Carolina, teaching 21 styles.

How do I pick a martial art?

Start with what you want out of it. Grappling arts like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo build control on the ground, striking arts like Karate, Taekwondo and Muay Thai build stand-up skills, and many schools mix both. Visit two or three schools and take a trial class before you commit.

Do schools offer free trial classes?

Many do. Look for the free trial mark on a school's listing, or filter search results to schools with a trial offer.

What age can kids start?

Plenty of schools take kids from age 4. Classes are usually split into little kids, older kids, teens and adults, so ask each school how they group students.

How much do martial arts classes cost?

Most schools charge a monthly membership. Prices vary by style, city and how many classes a week you take, so ask about trial classes and intro offers first.

I own a school. How do I update my listing?

Listings start from public information. Claim yours to add photos, class schedules, programs and a trial offer.
