Impact Martial Arts & Fitness

"My son has been training at this dojo for 6 years now. We drive 30 min multiple days a week for it. This is by far one of the best, if not the best, martial arts places I have seen. Renshi pours his heart into teaching the kids, prioritizing discipline, detail perfecting, and ensuring they take away life skills as well as martial arts. Yes he also makes it fun, and he is flexible and works with families. It’s been amazing to watch my son grow his skills and confidence. I highly recommend Impact Martial Arts of Manlius."

"As a mom who's always looking out for my kids' growth and safety, I can't rave enough about Impact Martial Arts! My kids absolutely love attending classes here. They've not only learned some killer martial arts moves but have also gained confidence, discipline, and focus—qualities that go beyond the dojo. One of the standout features for me is the attention given to teaching self-defense techniques. This was a major factor for me when choosing a martial arts school, and Impact Martial Arts does not disappoint! I also have to give a shoutout to Ranchi, the instructor, for the individual attention he gives to each child—and even to us parents! He takes the time to explain techniques and is always approachable for any questions or concerns. All in all, Impact Martial Arts offers a phenomenal experience for my kids, who are thriving in a positive and enriching environment. Highly recommended!"

"My son joined two years ago. He loves his teammates and his instructors. He has learned so much throughout the years. Teamwork, respect, and determination. He looks forward to each belt as he takes the steps to his goal which is black belt Excellence. They also give at the end of the class a quote or an inspirational message which is awesome . We also love their Community involvement and spirit."

"My son has been going to Impact Martial Arts for over two years now. We love the programs they have and the overall sense of community. This place offers way more than just classes. They have tons of free events, community fund raisers, and group activites. Classes also are more in depth than what a typical place offers. The instructors not only teach moves and styles, but also give discussions on bullying, making good decisions and dealing with real-life situations. Renshi Groesbeck is a fantastic role model and teacher, as are all of the instructors at IMA Team Manlius."

"The team at Impact Martial Arts is truly outstanding. Two of my kids attended classes at Impact, and the training, staff, and pricing couldn't have been any better. The leaders of the school really take the time to understand each student as an individual, and it stretches far beyond the class instruction dynamics of so many other similar companies. I also encourage people to come sit in on a class and see what it is all about. Beyond the fitness and martial arts training, it is about character, personal strength, and living a life where the differences between right and wrong are never in question. Renshi Jeff Groesbeck and his team have been active in the community, and the skills they teach at their classes will last a student their whole life through- far beyond when the class ends."
