When finding and observing classes in a martial arts facility in Westchester, one should bear in mind that the popularity of a martial arts instructor as well as their marketing abilities do not necessarily reflect on their understanding of martial arts in general or their capacity for instruction.  One must know their own interests and reasons for searching out martial arts  training and then evaluate the instructor on their ability to deliver.

That said, we are fortunate in that a variety of skilled martial arts instructors are available in Southern Westchester County as defined by the triangle between White Plains, New Rochelle and Yonkers.   For example, Scarsdale alone (central to southern Westchester) offers classes in the martial arts of Aikido, Judo, Jujitsu, Krav Maga, numerous forms of Tai Chi Chuan, Kung Fu, Karate and Tae Kwon Do.  Tai Chi Chuan, Kung Fu and Ninjitsu can be found in Bronxville (also central to southern Westchester).  The major cities of White Plains, New Rochelle and Yonkers (periphery of southern Westchester) offer an extensive array of martial arts.  There are, however, a few gaps.  For example, Aikido is only available in Scarsdale, White Plains and Bedford Hills.  Tai Chi Chuan may be sparsely offered in White Plains and New Rochelle, Kung Fu in White Plains and Judo may have similar problems in Yonkers and White Plains.  The close proximity of martial arts schools to the White Plains, New Rochelle and Yonkers region leaves many possibilities for residents of Southern Westchester and the Bronx.
