About Martial Arts America

Martial Arts America has been offering instruction and training in Karate since 1980. 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 Irondequoit). Martial Arts America has taught thousands of students the benefits of training in the martial arts. Our Head instructors Kelly Williams, Jon Emerson and James Cornell are all experienced black belt instructors with excellent teaching skills and they care deeply about the progress and experience of all the students at our dojos.

What are Parents Saying?

This karate experience has boosted Carly’s self confidence and self esteem. This has made her a more mature, a more poised and a more confident person. She has learned that with commitment and sacrifice she can achieve a major goal. This will serve her well in life.

Christopher A., Penfield, NY

The instructors were able to get across, without saying it in so many words, that what’s imbedded in a child’s ability to look a person in the eye and firmly shake hands is dignity as well as confidence.

Debra Ross, Fairport, NY

Liana has gained self confidence through karate. This gives her the platform to succeed in anything she sets her mind to. I see this in her school work, horseback riding and day to day interactions with people.
