Leo is very happy all the time when he joined the team and he is excited to practice and learn karate with the amazing instructors. Thank you.

My children love impact martial arts. They have learned so much self control and discipline.

IMA has taught my son so much confidence, respect for himself and others, and self discipline. The instructors work so hard to instill life lessons, teach self defense skills, martial arts, and also play games with the kids. I have seen such an improvement on not only his martial arts skills, but his focus in school has become better than I could have ever imagined for a 6 year old.

My children love IMA! It is a great community to be a part of.

Luca absolutely loves going to IMA. He always says how much fun he has. Thank you for what you do!!!

Jon: “5 stars, a perfect balance of serious and fun!” Arya: “challenging but fun, A+++++++”

Our eight year old has been a student at IMA for 3 years now and he has made much growth. When my son first started he was extremely shy and reserved, but the IMA team have assisted him with his self confidence. Since he started he has really come out of his shell! It's a facility of great instructors who take the time to know their students' and their needs. Thank you to everyone at IMA!

We love Impact Martial Arts. The significant growth and change I’ve seen in my daughter in the short time she’s been taking classes is incredible. And the right amount of patience and discipline the instructors have with the students is amazing.

Great pace for the kids. Classes are a good balance of structure and fun

I cannot recommend IMA enough! They have selfless, energetic & caring teachers who truly want the best for their students. Their classes teach confidence, respect, kindness and strength. Watching my son succeed and improve as he moves through the ranks is so rewarding. We love IMA!

My son has been a student here for 8 months. I have seen so much growth and positive changes in him. He has so much more self confidence and self discipline. I find him doing things around the house without being asked. I highly recommend taking classes here.

Excellent school and methodology! The location is nice, private parking lot, the instructors are caring and they love what they do.

This studio has encouraged leadership and confidence in our child. The personal growth I’ve seen in and out of the studio is something that every parent wishes for their child. We truly appreciate all the instructors and would recommend anyone to participate here.

My 2nd grader is truly thriving at IMA! The classes are really good size with a strong focus on Respect, self co trol and self discipline!

My 7 yearly old daughter goes here and loves it!!! They are great with the kids and love the character building

I have noticed a big change in my son since he started a month ago especially with life skills. The instructors are awesome

The staff here are top notch. Very professional and excellent leaders. The values they instil in the children will last a lifetime. Thank you IMA!

The core values and life lessons the instructors teach the kids is priceless. If you are looking for a school/family to join look no further, you found it!!

Impact Martial Arts offers more than just self-defense instruction. Children learn confidence, discipline and focus, along with learning the principles of respect, self-discipline, and self-control in a fun, healthy atmosphere!

We’ve had a great experience at Impact Martial Arts! Our son really enjoys going to class and working with the instructors who are talented and kind individuals. The owner, Mr. Markiv, is awesome.

My daughter Brooklyn started classes here and she absolutely loves it and so do I!! The instructors teach these kids respect and self control and it even shows at home. I love the way they get the parents involved and it is really awesome to watch these kids develop there skills.. I totally recommend IMPACT for ANYONE!!

My Daughter absolutely enjoys her Instructors. They’re so patient with the children but are also teaching core values along with Martial Arts! 10/10

My son is loving this karate program. The classes are a perfect size so the instructors are able to watch each student. My sons confidence really amps up with every new class. Best part is the studio has multiple days & times so you as the parent can really customize the classes to your schedule.

My daughter has started classes here recently and I she has loved every minute here. The studio is beautiful and the instructors are amazing with these kids. She has learned so much already on top of karate they teach them life skills to carry with them in every day life. I cannot recommend this place enough.

My son loves going to Impact Martial Arts and is learning new skills every single lesson. He really responds to the fast-paced, engaging atmosphere and enjoys the other students and all the knowledgeable instructors. The flexible weekly schedule allowing a student to participate on any two days of a given week is a huge help for busy families!

Both my kids have started here and absolutely love going. The teachers are great with my 4 year old and my almost 8 year old. They really promote confidence in the kids and I love watching them at the classes have fun and learn at the same time.

We love this place! My son is enjoying his lessons and I’m grateful to the organized helpful staff. They are all wonderful with the children and my son is learning so much.

IMA Cromwell has been amazing for my son! His attitude has been improving and all his peers can see that he has been working on himself, having self control and being disciplined! Not to mention all of our friends attend the school as well, this is not just a martial arts center, it a staple in the community!

My kids both love coming here! The facilities are always clean, the classes are fun, and the instructors are excellent at bonding with the children and teaching them at their level. Would highly recommend:)

Our 8 year old is loving his classes at IMA. The instructors are all incredible and, as well as karate, are teaching invaluable life lessons!

Absolutely great! My son loves the program and has benefited greatly in is focus and discipline.

We knew we had a good martial arts studio when my son came out of class saying “I don’t know where that voice came from, it sounded confident!?”

Wonderful facility and instructors.

Fantastic place! My son has been doing karate with them for a while and really enjoys it! A+ instructors

Impact Martial Arts is awesome! The instructors are incredible. They are supportive, professional, dedicated and are attentive to students needs. Both my son and I take classes there and we love it. They have really helped my son with his self control, self discipline and respect and have helped me achieve things that I never thought I could do.

My Daughters are learning a lot in Impact Martial Arts.Since my girls have started they have learned self defense skills and have had more self esteem. The instructors are extremely nice. We love the experience of what Impact Martial Arts provides.

Staff are awesome! It is a positive atmosphere, teaches discipline and accuracy. Builds self confidence and classmates all respect each other. My kids absolutely love this program!

This place is amazing! They have excellent instructors, is extremely clean and provides discipline for our son. I highly recommend visiting IMA in Cromwell.

In my son’s short time with Impact Martial Arts, I have already seen so much improvement. He truly has an understanding already of the 3 rules, and tries every day to follow them at home to the best of his ability! I’m very excited to see how he progresses in both his physical abilities, as well as his behavior.

My son looks forward to attending every class. The instructors are very knowledgeable & encourage everyone in class to do their very best. Highly recommend!

Absolutely a great place, definitely recommended, my son is always excited to get there and learn....

Excellent instruction in a fun, safe, clean and disciplined environment. Highly recommend this studio!

Great instructors and nice frendly envirorment. I highly recommend this dojo for all levels of instruction.

Charlette loves everything about Impact Martial Arts! She looks forward to every class.

I’ve been bringing my son for over a year now and I see big progress. Instructors are very professional and care about each kid. This is great place for kids to grow and learn.

My sisters absolutely enjoy their karate classes at the Impact Martial arts studio. They have learned to be more respectful, show self-control and display self-discipline. 100% worth it.

Great instructors and very comfortable surroundings. Clean and cute dojo! We love it for our 7 year old son!

Impact has been a fantastic experience. We were happy to sign up both our boys for karate. The instructors are great with the kids.

The boys enjoy going to their karate class. They’ve been attending for 3 month and just earned their yellow belts. The teachers are super nice. The area is a nice location near a Park and pizza place.

Perfect for kids', teens and adults who want to learn martial arts. The staff is AMAZING!!! Best in the area

My daughter is a student at Impact Martial Arts and the class has helped her a lot in learning martial art and on top of that responsibility and discipline.The instructors are very kind and engaged with kids and family. Lot of fun activities apart from regular classes makes it special. I would absolutely recommend this karate studio for the kids.

This place is a learning tool for a discipline and a way to fight obstacles. Great environment for the young kids to build a strength and confidence. Best place to go for martial arts in local community.

My Daughter never hesitates to attend. It teaches her good life morals and discipline. Helps with her self esteem and is very affordable. I love she gets social interaction and the staff is always wonderful.

“Martial arts is really fun they teach you to do really cool things. You get to do tournaments for trophies and other great things” - Liam

This is a very family friendly establishment. The instructors and the staff are also very welcoming, and it’s open to all ages from 3+. The classes are very fun and it’s also a very good workout :)

Best Martial Arts studio for kids and family.

Impact Martial Arts is the perfect place for adults and children to learn self-defense skills. The instructors are very experienced, and always encouraging. The studio is clean, bright, and welcoming. Adult classes are both fun and challenging, and it's a great way to make friends with good people. The kids classes are always filled with fun and great energy as they learn.

We love IMA. The staff is outstanding and very dedicated. You can tell they pride in what they are doing. The facility is spotless. My son has done wonderfully with the direction of the amazing teachers.

I’ve been a student at Impact for almost a year and I have never once regretted the decision. After vetting multiple martial arts studios in the area, it was clear that Impact was the standout. The studio is clean and spacious, the atmosphere is friendly, and the level of instruction is second to none. Highly recommend for you or your children.

My daughter is a student at Impact Martial Arts and she loves it! The instructors are so kind and patient with the kids. I would absolutely recommend this karate studio for the whole family!!

We have been with Impact Martial Arts since November and I am extremely satisfied with the quality, value, and professionalism of the instructors. My son looks forward to each class and has learned the meaning of having respect for others, discipline, and controlling his body.

I recently enrolled my daughter at Impact Martial Arts. The reason why we decided to enroll her was an easy one! She not only had a lot of fun during the trial class, she was asking before we left when she could come back again. Impact Martial Arts does more than just teach their kids karate and martial arts. They are incorporating in their young minds key lessons like respect for themselves and others, self confidence, discipline, and most of all working towards goals at an early age. Lessons that we all should know, yet some are never taught! Enroll your kids today with Orest and Amy! We are so happy we did with ours, and couldn’t recommend Impact Martial Arts enough.🥋 Less

My daughter (3yrs) has been going for a few months now and it's been great for her focus and attention! The instructors are very friendly and patient with the kids. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to improve their toddlers listening and/or social skills! Not to mention self defense, she looks forward to it every week!

I knew from the first class my son attended that this was a great studio. It has that special something that makes both the children and parents happy to be there and engaged in the program. We just joined after our trial period and I’m so excited for my son to continue as an official member of Impact. Keep up the great work, Impact Team!

My kids have been with orest for years he does a good job and the kids love working with him

You never know how little ones will react to new sports and new classes and whether or not it will be successful. Mr. Markiv is amazing with the little ones!

My daughter has been with them since she was 4 years old and now is going on 9. She has grown so much over the years.

We travel over 35 minutes one way to get to the studio, passing many others on the way. It’s worth it! Highly recommended. Less

Impact has figured out the exact balance of discipline, instruction, and fun! They have given my daughter, who often struggles to feel included due to developmental delays and physical disabilities, a way to feel involved with her peers and confident in her abilities. She looks forward to her classes every week and we could not be more grateful for their patience and guidance!

They are the best. Very polite, talented, friendly and amazing with children. Very very clean well cared for studio. Can’t ask for a better place to bring your child to learn karate. We travel over 35 minutes and drive by many studios to come here. Well worth it for my daughter.

My kid ob’s irking with the instructors. Very clean and family friendly.

Impact Martial Arts has the BEST instructors. The space is excellent and they are super flexible and easy to work with (not just because of COVID). They're incredibly encouraging and will work with you to help you achieve your goals. I absolutely love this place!

My daughter attends IMA and loves it!

As an adult student, I’ve seen an improvement in my stress reduction (hitting bags helps!) and my mental health. We get to do a mix of cardio, karate and (my personal favorite) stretching! I’ve also had the opportunity to occasionally teach the 3/4 and 5/6 year old classes. The improvements we see in the students’ focus, coordination, and listening skills are encouraging for us as instructors and (of course) exciting for the students’ parents! If you’re hesitating about getting started, don’t hesitate! Do the one-month trial, and you’ll see right away that this dojo and this sport are a great fit for you and your family!! Less

Great instructor for kids and adults. Great people. Clean and safe Dojo.

Best investment you can make in yourself and your kids. Great place and great instructor!

Instructors are great and very friendly! Kids really enjoy the classes. I highly recommend

I have know Sensei Orest Markiv for 8 years now - since my daughter started training with him. From the onset he made a lasting and positive impression. He and his staff were the reason why we chose his school. He is exceptionally talented and highly committed to his students.

best , straight forward trainers in the new England area!

Mr Markiv has been working with my son for over 8 years. He has taught him more than just martial arts, he has instilled 3 rules that have carried with him...self respect, self discipline and self control. He is someone the kids look up to, and I highly recommend his studio.

Good to work with!

Hands down the best Martial Arts place in the area! The instructors are knowledgeable and welcoming!!! Will definitely recommend to anyone!

You won’t be disappointed bringing your kids here!
