WELCOME TO
GLENS FALLS KARATE ACADEMY

Your journey in martial arts begins here:

While I’d love to take some time to talk to you about your interests in our program, it seems that you’ve caught me during a class … so, instead of hearing what I have to say about our programs, let me show you what we’re all about!

We’re all about personal growth through martial arts here, whether it’s your first time training or you’re an experienced martial artist. As you look around our lobby, take a peek at the class unfolding before you, the comforts of home in our family friendly lobby, and grab a seat while we have a quick virtual chat! Our greatest asset is the supportive community that we call our dojo family, who help us create this comforting environment we’re sharing with you right now. So, make yourself at home, and see for yourself how we blend discipline, focus, and a little fun into every lesson. You’re not just joining a class; you’re becoming part of a community that cheers each other on, every step of the way. Make yourself comfortable, enjoy the view, and let’s chat about where your martial arts path might begin. Welcome to the (dojo) family!

Let’s start with a tour:

Early SKILLZ
Preschool - Kindergarten

3–4 year-olds are naturally curious. They might not be ready for the rigid structure of a traditional martial arts class … but they do need to start learning about appropriate social behavior!

Basic SKILLZ
1st Grade - 3rd Grade

The perfect blend of self defense and tradition. Our kids martial arts program gives your child with tools to protect themselves, and equips them with skills to have an unfair advantage in school. We’re dedicated to your child’s growth!

Core SKILLZ
3rd Grade - 5th Grade

Children are like sponges. They absorb things quickly and easily – far more easily than we do as adults. Not only are they getting healthier as they learn martial arts, but they’re also learning the value of self-discipline and respect.

Junior Karate SKILLZ
Middle School Program

Karate may normally make you think of self-defense, fitness, and discipline … the truth is, it’s all of that and WAY more!
Our program helps our students build skills that they can APPLY to every area of their life and empower them to be the very best they can possibly be!

Teens Karate
High School Program

Instead of giving into the moodiness and attitude, take them to our dojo instead! Teenagers are smart and capable – but they can also be their own worst enemies. Between peer pressure, their innate urge to rebel against their parents, and their surging hormones, they can be impossible to be around. But all they need is an outlet for their frustrations – and an opportunity to be their best.

Adult Karate
Ages 17+

Martial arts training is fun, empowering, and provides a great workout for adults. Studying martial arts is something that anybody – at any age or fitness level – can do. Our programs make learning fun, empowering, and provides a great workout for busy parents!

SKILLZ F.I.T.
Fitness Kickboxing

Achieve your fitness goals!

New Program
