As of Oct 28, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 15 martial arts classes for teens in Manhattan, from 4 providers including Asphalt Green, NYC Parks, and West Side YMCA. 14 are open for registration right now, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 38% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.
Ages. Every program here accepts at least part of the teens range (ages 12–17); the list leads with the classes built for this age and finishes with those that only touch it at the edge.
Where the open spots are. By neighborhood, the most martial arts classes for teens with open registration today are in Upper East Side (6 open), Battery Park City (6 open), Upper West Side (1 open), and Chelsea (1 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.
Teen programs (12 to 17) are fewer than for younger kids but more serious: competitive teams, advanced-level classes, pre-professional tracks and fitness programs. Many run by tryout or placement rather than open enrollment, and several of the providers listed here also take teens into their adult beginner classes, which is worth asking about when a teen class is full.
14 of the 15 martial arts classes for teens we track in Manhattan are open for registration as of Oct 28, 2026. Status is read from each provider's own registration system every morning.
Usually yes, if the child's age falls inside the range the provider publishes. On this page the classes built specifically for ages 12–17 are listed first; those that only overlap the edge of the range come last, so check the age chip on each card.
