BROOKLYN, NY – March 12, 2025 – Martin Striking Academy (MSA), a premier Tae Kwon Do and self-defense school in Brooklyn, has established itself as one of the fastest-growing Martial Arts Brooklyn school in the borough, offering comprehensive striking and self-defense programs for both children and adults, and Serving Ditmas Park, Flatbush, Kensington, Midwood, and Prospect Park since 2016.
Located at 773 Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, Martin Striking Academy – Martial arts Brooklyn, was founded by Coach Eddie Martin, a 3rd Degree Blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do under Master Oh Hyun Seek of South Korea. Coach Martin’s impressive credentials include State, Regional, and National titles, as well as competing in the qualifiers for the US National Olympic Team in 1998. His background as a high school wrestler and current Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training under Gregor Gracie provides students with well-rounded instruction combining multiple martial arts disciplines.
“We train for life,” says Coach Martin, who has made the community of Brooklyn his home and raises his family. “MSA brings a well-rounded striking curriculum that works in any situation. Building a solid foundation in kicks and punches along with grappling has proved to be the most effective way to defend yourself.”
The academy’s rapid growth can be attributed to its unique approach, combining traditional Tae Kwon Do with elements of kickboxing and wrestling. This comprehensive methodology not only helps students develop practical self-defense skills but also fosters personal growth, discipline, and resilience.
“My focus is to help you achieve your individual goals while training in a team setting,” explains Coach Martin. “We believe this is a great foundation to not only achieve martial arts skills but become a strong individual ready for the many ups and downs of life.”
Parents and students alike have praised MSA’s impact on their lives. One parent shared, “MSA has been a great experience for my daughter. Coach Eddie has helped her build self-confidence, strength, and self-control, and after every class, she leaves inspired to do better each time. We are so grateful to have Coach Eddie in our neighborhood.”
The academy welcomes students of all ages and experience levels, with specialized programs for children and adults. Unlike many martial arts schools, MSA charges only monthly membership fees with month-to-month commitments and no hidden costs such as sign-up, testing, or belt fees.
Long-time student testimonials further highlight the academy’s effectiveness and inclusive approach: “Eddie is a great teacher. He’s able to meet you where you are and build you up from there. I’m a long-time student (8 years). I started when I was 50 years old. If I can learn, anyone can. It’s not just about the striking. These lessons teach you how to be the best you. And you’ll have fun! I highly recommend MSA and Eddie’s expert coaching.”
Martin Striking Academy maintains a strong emphasis on traditional martial arts values and proper dojang (training hall) etiquette, creating a respectful environment where students can develop both physically and mentally.
