Kickaro's Martial Arts & Fitness - Danbury - Kids LOVE Karate

Hands down the best! I brought my very shy 4 year old daughter in for her first lesson, she stopped at the doorway too shy to walk in and within 60 seconds Mr. Michael had her in and laughing. I was amazed! He kept her attention the entire class. He has an impeccable reputation, anyone who knows him will tell you he is the best! I'm so excited to watch my daughter learn and progress in the martial arts and I wouldn't trust anyone more with teaching her these skills and values than Mr. Michael. I highly highly recommend Kickaro's!

Best karate ever. It is a place that is perfect for all ages and families. The instructors are kind and tough all at the same time. They know how to instill discipline that will drive you or your child to be a better person and you will see improvements in all aspects of life. Children are more respectful and do better at school and home. They give a great foundation to all their students with an ancient martial art style that combines both body and mind. My both childrens love it Andrew(8) and Alana(4) . Well worth it! Words can't describe how great they are thanks Mrs Michael for everything ❤

Was sick of treadmills and regular gym atmosphere and boot camps. So glad to have done the introductory kickboxing class for a month. I enjoy the people who attend and the instructors and staff are encouraging and friendly. My 14 and 16 year olds wanted to attend as well - great way to get out that frustration at the end of a day along with a great workout. Every workout is different and never boring which keeps us coming back.

I got invited to try out taekwondo for the first time when I was about 7 years old, and at 19 I can still say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Mr. Michael and his team are the most genuine, supportive people I have ever met. I have always felt more welcome and at home at his school than anywhere, and from a young age I was taught so many important lessons that I still hold with me today. In class each day we learned about respect, perseverance, honesty, and so many other traits that are extremely important to me. I am proud of who I am because of all Mr. Michael taught me and his other students. Not only did taekwondo teach me these very important character traits, it brings me so much happiness! I’m a college student, so going from school to work each day can be draining. The fact that I get to end a long day with taekwondo makes all of it worth it. It is one of the things I genuinely look forward to because of all the ways, physically and mentally, that it helps me. I can easily say my self esteem has improved so, so much and I am super proud of myself and all I have accomplished in these 11 years. I’m proud of the little girl I once was and hope that someday my kids will be able to learn taekwondo from someone as amazing as Mr. Michael. I have and will always look up to him, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to teach me and watch me grow. Mr. Michael is easily one of the best people I have ever met, and I only hope to be as impactful as him someday. I’m also very grateful for all of the friends I have made while taking taekwondo. I consider them a family and honestly, some of the most amazing people I know. I could go on forever about how great my experience has been, but I’m going to end it here. Thank you Mr. Michael for all you do for me and so many others. You don’t know how much of an impact you have on our lives. Again, growing up and learning from you is by far the best thing I have done with my life. I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you.

I really enjoy coming here. It’s a great place for the entire family. Michael is always going above and beyond for his members (family). He has helped my daughters how to defend themselves as well as helping me to stay healthy and in shape. His wife Chris is also very awesome. Come and see for yourself and thank me later !

I've gone to Kickaro's since I was a boy, maybe 4-5 years old. Because of the classes, I gained confidence and leadership skills, that will last a lifetime. I am now a teacher there, and I often help out with some of the younger kids, and I try to give them the same thing Mr. Michael gave me. If you are looking for a strength-building, productive, and fun martial arts/ fitness class, I highly recommend Kickaro's.

Our son has been going to Kickaro’s for several years. This has been a fantastic place for him to learn and grow. Mr. Michael is truly amazing and a wonderful role model for our son! We love Kickaro’s!

My grandson is on the spectrum and Michael works so well with him. He woke up last weekend and was off day but once he got in class Michael was able to turn his day around and keep him on track and up to speed with the rest of the kids. He has been wonderful with him.

My Grandson started attending KicKaro's in the fall of 2019. Since he started we have seen benefits through his behavior and ability to listen when we give him direction. The instructor/owner Master Mike Corraro is a wonderful teacher. I am always careful not to overblow someone's ability but, I do believe he is special. He is firm but kind. He has an ability to instruct young children without raising his voice but, they get the point when he is unhappy. He is upbeat and filled with enthusiasm. I can say with confidence anyone who entrusts Mike with their children or adults looking to get into shape are in the best of hands. Kickaro's is truly a great place to learn martial arts and they have a great advantage his name is Mike Coccaro.

Mr. Michael is unbelievable. I’ve known him for about a year, and the way that he can calmly control a group of 20 children without anyone getting hurt and stay focused is something to admire! I have told the parents in my room what an amazing man he is with these children, and they all are fighting for a spot on the list of 20. I can’t wait until I have a child so I can take the to Karate at Kickaros!! What a fun experience for kids of all ages!!!
