Finding a martial arts school in Hong Kong that fits your goals, whether that's a kids' taekwondo class or a serious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program, means sorting through very different disciplines. Every school on this page holds a rating of 4.9 or higher, and reviewers across the board repeatedly name individual instructors by title, a sign of how personal these training relationships get.

Short answer: The most-reviewed martial arts school in Hong Kong is NRG Taekwondo Korea (a perfect 5.0 across 165 Google reviews), followed by PCMA Kung Fu Hong Kong (4.9, 69 reviews) and SHBJJ (5.0, 55 reviews) for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Most schools offer a free trial class, so ask before committing to a membership.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown. Rating is each school’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many students and parents rated them, compared against other Hong Kong martial arts schools. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from over a hundred reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do martial arts classes cost in Hong Kong? (2026)

None of the schools on this page publish fixed pricing online, and costs vary by discipline, class frequency and membership length. Contact each school directly, and ask about free trial classes before committing.

Serving all of Hong Kong

These schools cover Sheung Wan, Mong Kok, Tai Kok Tsui and NRG’s six branches across Hung Hom, Ma On Shan, Olympic, Kennedy Town, North Point and Yuen Long. Searching for a martial arts school near me? Every listing below has a live phone number where available so you can confirm class times.

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these martial arts schools?

We started from martial arts schools in Hong Kong with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which of these schools is best for young kids just starting martial arts?

NRG Taekwondo Korea has a structured program starting at age three and multiple branches across Hong Kong, making it a strong option for families with young children.

Where can I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Hong Kong?

SHBJJ in Sheung Wan and Kowloon Jiu Jitsu (KLNBJJ Mongkok) both offer dedicated BJJ training, with KLNBJJ also covering MMA, boxing and Muay Thai.

The bottom line

NRG Taekwondo Korea is the safe default for families and beginners thanks to its review volume and multiple branches, while SHBJJ and PCMA Kung Fu are the picks for a more focused grappling or traditional kung fu program. Ask about a free trial class before committing anywhere.
