Martial Arts Schools near North Reading

“Great program and school that provides students with real martial art skills and self discipline. Our son has been learning there for a couple of years and we are happy.“

“I had an incredible experience at Cervizzi’s. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Sensei Allen is an excellent teacher—I learned so much from just one session!“

“Authentic karate was been amazing for my son. He has been going here for 3 years now and it has done so much for his confidence, discipline and strength. The dojos sensei and instructors really build the kid’s confidence while structuring class around being courteous and respectful. As parents, we drive in into our kids to always be polite and respectful. We love coming here where they have the same values and teach the kids the same ways. We would and have recommended to everyone interested in doing karate.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“They do such a great job with my son. He loves working with Sandra and she has incredible patience! We have tried other places and the only one I could recommend is Bruce McCorry's!“

“I visited ADAS for an open mat and had a wonderful experience! Everyone at the academy was incredibly friendly and respectful. Kids, moms, and dads all shared the mat, showcasing a strong community-based gym. ADAS clearly fosters a welcoming environment passionate about BJJ as a whole. Their instructors were extremely hospitable, making everyone feel right at home. The facilities were super clean, which is always important.

If you're looking to train BJJ in Peabody, I highly recommend this spot. I heard great reviews about ADAS, and they truly live up to the hype. OSS!“

“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.“

“I researched karate dojos around the area for my son and enrolled him in the trial program at Keefe’s Martial Arts to see if he will like karate. He loved it. Sensei John does a wonderful job with the kids, he holds their attention in a participative, energetic, and fun way. Over time I saw my son - and the other kids too, transform. They gained self-control, skill, and confidence. During Covid, I highly appreciated that Sensei John provided online classes as well as outdoors sessions. It was safe, no one quit, and no one got sick. The kids learned to strive for normalcy when nothing else was normal. Kids build character at KMA.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very spacious and clean dojang. Mr. O'Malley demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and pleasure to speak with.“

“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!“

“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“

“We love this place. They truly care about the kids while teaching respect for others and discipline.“

“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.“

“Lemme tell ya the best class ever! I went for the first time to punch out about a month ago and I go every Monday & Wednesday. The energy of the staff and sensei are so supportative but you walk out dripping sweat. I was always so nervous to do a class but I felt comfortable right away, I joined Sensei's karate class as well. The class works for every one! sensei makes it easy for you to adjust to harder or easier workouts based on your ability. I'm so happy I found this class I live all the way in Medford and it's totally worth the commute I recommend this work out studio for anyone and everyone, you belong here :)“

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

“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.“

“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 son Nolan would come 4-5 times a week if we didn’t make him take breaks. It’s done a lot for his confidence and would recommend to all my friends with young kids.“

“Perfect introduction to martial arts for my kids. Positive, engaging, supportive. The training extends beyond the mat and instills productive habits at home and school. Sadly, we have moved away, and this program is what my family will miss the most. Thank you.“

“Wonderful local Karate lessons. Very clean and always willing to accommodate the kids and clients!“
