Martial Arts Schools near Andover

“We feel so blessed for Senior Master Landrum and ATA! We’ve seen such growth in our son and his confidence is blooming everyday. We highly recommend ATA Andover for the life lessons we see our sons learning and the compassion we see in the teaching.“

“Great teachers, great master. Started when I was not but around 10 years old and continued it for a great portion of my life. Master Shin has been nothing but caring and kind, as well as supportive and honest. Even after I have taken a bit of a leave from his business he still continues to help me to this day. I am truly grateful for everything he has done for me and I could not recommend a better Teacher and master to anyone else.“

“Cervizzi’s Martial Arts in Lynnfield is Amazing. They teach more than just self-defense techniques and many of the benefits extend beyond karate.Students learn discipline, self-respect, self-control and confidence. These are benefits from instruction, effort in a structured environment. Post-covid-> the dojo enhanced their teaching offerings to include online learning as well as thoughtful in-person classes (limiting class size, taking temperatures, wearing masks, and cleaning between each class). Cervizzi’s Martial Arts in Lynnfield has been the one consistent activity during Covid and it is a testament to the dedication of the instructors and staff.Our daughter has been going for 4+ years. We saw how much she was growing that our son joined for the past 3+ years, and to make it a family bond, I joined 2 years ago. I have witnessed each of our growth. One annual tournament really stuck out to me. Our daughter entered a competition for weapons, forms, and sparring. Before the forms event, she had to speak in front of the judges (and about 75+ spectators). I felt nervous for her but the crowd didn’t impede her one bit. She remain focused and executed her form flawlessly. I share this specific moment because it is another benefit beyond classes: the ability to practice, practice, practice, execute and compete.We highly recommend Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy!“

“Mr.Van and his instructors are extremely knowledgeable and patient. My two kids and myself take there. Mr.Josh is extremely patient with my kids especially the 4 year old. Class material is well structured and extremely enjoyable. I can not recommend Middleton karate enough for both adult and kid classes.“

“Professor Nassib is great with the kids! A Very passionate teacher, I 100% recommend this school! ??“

“There is no other place like Authentic Karate! Sensei Chip and Mr. Andrew are outstanding leaders and role models for children. I first enrolled my son when he was 5 years old and his little sister started at 3 years old after watching him for several months. My kids look forward to karate and look up to Sensei Chip and Mr. Andrew. I don't think you could find any dojo like this one! I love seeing my kids grow mentally, socially, and emotionally through karate. I also love that young adults/teens are involved in teaching the younger kids classes. Sensei Chip is also a great resource for parents navigating their kids through school and the problems that arise. If I could give 10 stars I would!“

“Great martial arts classes with great instructors for children and adults.I highly recommend joining!“

“So thankful for the Dojo, I have been bringing the boy that I nanny here for 5 months now and the instructors are so kind, patient, and supportive. Could not recommend this karate studio more! So worth it“

“Highly recommended! The staff is wonderful. They are stern, fair, and very patient. The instructors make every class fun for the students. My son has gained self confidence, respect, and defense techniques. He loves karate and Ocasio’s has become like a second family to us!“

“My daughter has not been here very long but I have never seen her this excited about an activity before! She has Autism/ADHD and it has been very hard to find spaces where she feels comfortable. I've been sitting in on her classes and the instructors are top notch! The kids love them, the classes are always high energy and very positive. The classes always have variety and the kids are always learning something new.I LOVE all the lessons that are incorporated into the class. She really looks up to these instructors and we have noticed her repeating certain things at home that she learns in class, so I believe this will definitely help her behavior and confidence. They were also SO welcoming and kind to my other daughter who has a more severe level of Autism - we had her come and do a little "interview" thing to see if she would be able to handle the classes yet. They were very patient and helpful and she was able to do much more than I thought! She showed an immediate interest the second she walked in the door, and the instructor was able to get her to smile and laugh and kick, punch, run, and more. Needless to say, she is looking forward to returning in the recommended 6 months to start her own classes :)“

“Master O is the BEST! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Master O. My two sons, 6 and 8, have been going there for almost two years and my 4 year old just started. We have even hosted a birthday party there and all of the parents were amazed by him! I HIGHLY recommend Master O Karate Academy. Yes sir!“

“Kwon's Taekwondo is a special place for me. My family and I have been trained there for over 7 years. In that time Kwon's has made the cover of TKD Times twice. We've earned our black belts and have met some of our closest friends there. If exercise, gaining self esteem, and learning to respect others are what you want for your child, join Kwon's TKD.“

“Cannot recommend enough! A great time and workout! The class is a mixed bag of personalities and skill levels allowing for you to learn from each other and along with each other, while stretching your own personal limits. At least try the trial you'll be hooked!“

“My two kids have been training martial arts for over 5 years at Gymstreet DH TKD. They both enjoy the classes and attend regularly. As a parent, I’m grateful to have Master Hung teach my kids Tae Kwon Do and Self Defense. He has a unique way to motivate his students to become a better version of themselves. From the beginning of their journey to today, they have developed confidence and are disciplined. Importantly, they have become stronger as a person physically and mentally. Thank you Dragon Heart Tae Kwon Do and Master Hung for all the support!“

“This is the best karate school! My daughter has been going since she was 3 (now 16). I go now too! Mother / Daughter bonding time. :)“

“The Self Defense is much more than a five star martial arts institute. My daughter has been involved with martial arts at The Self Defense Institute for over nine years and has enjoyed every minute. I have the highest respect for the wonderful and skilled schools instructors and their programs. Training at The Self Defense Institute has been been a positive influence in every aspect of my daughters life. The values of respect for family, striving for academic sucess and the actual self defense training have been invaluable to her. I could not possibly list all the ways that TSDI has positvely influenced her life, but through her years of training just to name a few, she has learned patience, compassion, self control, confidence and perserverance. She will carry these skills (as well as the memories of her friendships formed and her respect and gratefulness for her Shihans) with her always. I dont believe there is a better martial arts acadamy out there. Kudos to TSDI“
