As of Sep 13, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 73 martial arts classes for teens across NYC, from 11 providers including Asphalt Green, NYC Parks, and Cross Island YMCA. 27 are open for registration right now, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 26% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.
Prices. Across the 12 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $211; most fall between $163 and $221, with a full range of $149 to $296. Providers list prices differently — a single class, a month, or a full term — so compare the registration pages, not just the number.
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 Battery Park City (7 open), Upper East Side (7 open), Bellerose (3 open), Flatbush (2 open), and Long Island City (1 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.
Kids' martial arts classes in NYC — karate, taekwondo, jiu-jitsu, judo and kung fu among them — start around age 3 or 4 with "little dragons" style classes built on listening, balance and basic stances, and become more technical from about age 6. A first class is usually 30 to 45 minutes for the youngest students and up to an hour for older kids, with a formal opening, drills, partner work and a short cool-down. Most schools let a new student try a class or a short trial before buying a uniform; after that, expect a uniform (gi or dobok) and a belt-testing schedule. Look for schools that separate children by age and size for any partner or sparring work. 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.
27 of the 73 martial arts classes for teens we track across NYC are open for registration as of Sep 13, 2026. Status is read from each provider's own registration system every morning.
The typical listed price is $211, and most of the 12 priced programs fall between $163 and $221. Prices are as published by each provider and may cover one session, a month or a full term.
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.
Today the most open martial arts classes for teens are in Battery Park City (7 open), Upper East Side (7 open), and Bellerose (3 open). These counts are recomputed every morning.
The largest by number of programs are Asphalt Green (57), NYC Parks (4), Cross Island YMCA (3), Flatbush YMCA (2), and Long Island City YMCA (1). 11 providers in total have martial arts classes for teens listed across NYC.
Yes — 18 of the 69 programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday. Use the day filter above the list to show only weekend or weekday classes.
