Martial Arts Schools in New Bedford

“Both my son and I have taken up classes here as South Coast Self Defense. For me it been about getting back in shape and continuing to learn a skill that I haven't practiced in about 12 years. For my son its about him gaining knowledge and confidence in himself. The staff and instructors here are very knowledgeable and put in the time to make the training as rewarding as possible if you put in the effort.“

“Hands down the best karate dojo! Our daughter has been a student here for almost 4 years & loves it! She has absolutely flourished as a martial arts student. Also the discipline & hard working attitude she has learned at Almeida's has translated into everything else she does. Most importantly is the fact that this a family run business & the Almeidas as caring people who want the best the kids that go there. They are there to lift the kids up when they are down & cheer then on when they succeed. I wouldnt even think about bringing Julia to a different dojo.“

“Love love love Steve Kenpo Karate! There is no one like Steve, and how this place instantly turns into family. I love being there w my children each & every time. Very thorough w the kids because he cares about them becoming strong physically & mentally, but most of all creating this into their passion/life, awesome personality, will always have you laughing! Pauline is also outstanding w MANY accomplishments & an amazing teacher, seriously the hardest worker you will ever meet but so sweet/kind! This place wouldn't be what it is w out her as well!“
