“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“

“I'm personally a student at this school, and let me tell you, they have awesome staff!! All the materials and floors are clean, and there are so many programs to sign up for. The kids here are also very social.

Instructors, masters and other staff members teach effectively to help you learn and grow. Highly recommend this taekwondo school ☆(≧∀≦*)ﾉ“

“Amazing place! Coach Dave is phenomenal—his expertise and passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are evident in his teaching style. He made sure to give personalized attention to everyone in the class, making me feel included and motivated.

The environment is incredibly supportive, and the fellow students were equally encouraging and friendly. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, NESF BJJ is the perfect place to train. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent martial arts school. My children enjoy the classes and love their instructors.“

“This dojo is spectacular, sensei Gabriel is patient, competent and very special with children.“

“Sr. Master Landrum and the staff at ATA Martial Arts Andover are all fantastic. My boys love going to class and they learn vital values and skills every class. Sr. Master Landrum prepares all students (no matter the age) to act, perform, and live like black belts. All classes have a variety of students at different levels, and the staff is accommodating for all of them. If you are looking for an activity which provides exercise, development of core values & skills, and discipline… look no further! I believe they offer a 6 week trial class and they do birthday parties, too!“

“Steve Nugents karate Institute has 2 main karate schools or called "dojos", this one in Winchester and the main one on Cambridge Street in Burlington, Mass. They structure their programs around safety and awareness, overall respect, and good basic karate self defense skills. Their instructors led by Grandmaster Nugent are super trained, even in first aid and cpr, which I thought was excellent. They are super passionate and attentive toward their student and actually are quite caring, which I have never found in my searching for quality karate schools. Definitely check them out... I am very impressed !“

“New Generations has been a constant positive force in my life since I joined over 10 years ago. My classes with Shihan Lemay have helped me learn discipline, goal setting and the intricate martial art of Kempo Karate. I wouldn’t trade my time in her classes for anything!“

“This is an amazing karate academy with Thai chi kobudo and shorin rue and goju ruI had so much fun and they except all ages over 3 years.“

“I have been wanting to try martial arts for the last 6 years but life got in the way, as if often does. Recently, I realized that NOW was the time to try something that would not only help me with my physical health but mental health as well. When googling 'adult karate' in my neighborhood, I was pleasantly surprised to see a dojo close to me with very positive reviews. That was just a few months ago and I truly can't comprehend how much Sensei Rocky DiRico's dojo and his teachings has changed my life for the better. Sensei Rocky's dojo attracts exceptionally kind people (adults AND children) of all walks of life. The is a direct correlation to Sensei Rocky and the energy he puts into his teachings and just life in general. Since joining Sensei Rocky's dojo and taking karate lessons weekly, I find myself worrying less about things out of my control and just feeling mentally healthier and happier. I had heard many positive stories on how martial arts has helped children but had no idea how much it would help me as an adult as well. A huge thank you to Sensei Rocky!“

“Love the teaching from Master Ku. All 3 of my boys loves it and seeing them grow and improve in just short 6 months they’ve been there made me as a parent very proud. Master Ku didn’t just taught them the techniques but also teach them How to be a better person and be respectful at home and everywhere they go.“

“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!“

“Rising Storm Training Academy is a wonderful place for kids to learn the art of Martial Arts. Newly opened and offering great session times for working parents! Nathan, the head instructor and owner, has a real skill for teaching and engaging kids that can lose focus. The rates are very reasonable to. He offeres a free introductory lesson to try out. My son is having a super time and learning the art so quickly directly because of Nathans 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.“

“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“

“Outstanding experience for kids. Taekwondo is one piece of the puzzle. Mr Defranzo care for the kids and show them respect. Through that he teaches them values and discipline. Priceless for kids.“

“I have been studying Uechi-Ryu karate since I was twelve years old. Upon my first visit as a young teen striving for black belt I knew that it was one of the best schools in New England if not the world. I started at another dojo and always admired the strong and poised students of Alan Azoff's Martial Arts Academy. I was fortunate to get the opportunity to enroll there as I returned to Uechi-Ryu karate after a brief hiatus studying Judo. I chose the school as an adult knowing that it was a place of excellence, respect, and camaraderie. The headmaster of this dojo is one of the best martial artists I've ever met in addition to being a gifted storyteller. He knows the history of Uechi-Ryu karate because he has been at the heart of it at every turn. The virtues of black belt instilled here have improved my life in more ways than I can count. I cannot recommend the school enough. Come try a class and you'll see what I mean!“

“Traditional Aikido taught in a comfortable environment with very qualified instructors ... A great group of people.“

“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.“

“Master Mike not only has partnered with Lowell Middlesex Academy Charter School for the past two academic years to provide my high school students outstanding martial arts lessons coupled with organic farming, today he welcomed Logan, my 8 year-old son, as the newest member of the children's class! Therefore, it's fair to say that I have had ample opportunity to observe Master Mike teach. As an educator myself, I am thoroughly impressed with him and his well planned programs! In short, I highly recommend the Green Dragons! ??“

“Sensei Nathan runs fully dynamic classes where students of all ranks and experience are consistently engaged and giving 100%. The classes are energetic, allowing students full range of motion and their bodies while practicing real world application to get the muscle memory and experience they need. Sensei Nathan was excited to teach and his level of enthusiasm trickled down to the smallest white belt.“

“Fenix is truly a special place. The coaches have done incredible job creating an environment that blends respect, openness and camaraderie with a competitive fighting spirit. Anyone who decides to join this gym themselves or enroll their kids and stick with it will drastically change their lives for the better!“

“My child has been taking classes here for a month now and she loves it. It’s such a good outlet to learn manners and body control. Mr. Charles and the other instructors are so good with the kids and I’ve been pleased every time we have gone.“

“We began with Elite Freestylekarate shortly after we moved here. We have been very happy with our decisions. Though I was initially put off with how speedily kids were moved along and the costs, I came to understand the necessity that given the commitment required, it is helpful to allow kids to see progress. I have seen my daughter begin to really master many of these skills as she progresses and in most classes there is always a point to stress the basics, that all the more advanced skills are built upon. I feel that all the progress I have seen in my daughter with respect to fitness, maturity, commitment, and martial arts skill have justified the expense. The Senseis are always respectful and I credit their ability to manage such diverse classes, diverse in backgrounds, ages, and behaviors.“
