“As a parent, finding a place where your little ones not only learn but also feel included and valued can be a daunting task, especially when they are the youngest members in the group. Master Sikula’s Karate class is just that magical place! From the moment we stepped into the dojo, the warmth and professionalism of the staff were evident.Master Sikula, the instructor, stands out with his exceptional ability to engage kids of all ages and skill levels. My children are among the youngest in the gym, but Master Sikula has a special knack for making them feel right at home amidst older and more experienced students. His teaching style is inclusive and attentive, ensuring that every child feels seen and supported.The staff here are nothing short of wonderful. They are accommodating, kind, and genuinely passionate about their work with children. It's always a pleasant experience dealing with them, and they go out of their way to make sure the parents are as comfortable and informed as the kids are engaged and active.If you’re looking for a karate class that not only teaches martial arts but also instills confidence and a sense of community in children, look no further. Master Sikula’s Best Personal Karate is the place to be! We’re thrilled to be a part of this fantastic community.“
“Awesome group of people training at this gym! Was visiting from out of state and they were all really welcoming“
“Amazing teaching style. The sensei’s here are great teachers. This is just amazing.-PJ“
“I’ve been attending classes for half a year now and this place is awesome. I’ve gotten so much stronger. Not to mention time in class takes me away from my problems and calms my anxiety. The instructors are attentive to your specific goals and will push you past what you think you are able to do. Everyone is also super nice!! Highly recommend:)“
“Dedicated staff and kids have learned so much, both physically and mentally. Great for all ages and skill levels. I highly recommend Villari's Martial Arts of Natick!“
“The best tae kwondo school around. Great for the kids and adults. Friendly atmosphere.“
“An excellent place with passionate teachers.This is the first and only place my daughter looks forward to every session.“
“Ben is the sensei who can connect with young and old, fit or infirm. Meets the learner at their level and raises them up. He is a Professor of the Fighting Arts.“
“Come join the best martial arts class in town. Helping to build confidence in our youth to help them become who they strive to be. The best instructors around and Kyoshi is one of a kind. I wish I could tell you more but I don’t want to spoil all the fun. Come down and check it out for yourself. Just a trial run will have you joining and that I stand firm on.“
“So happy we found One Step Beyond! My boys (6 and 9) tried soccer, baseball, flag football, but nothing “stuck” until we discovered karate back in March 2021. Fast forward to two classes a week (soon to be 4 ?), 2 belt tests and now a competition team/weapons (all dull, nothing sharp here), my boys couldn’t be happier. Sensei Marie and Sensei Erin are wonderful with the kids and it’s a wide range of all ages and backgrounds. I can honestly say that karate has also taught my boys discipline, fitness, patience and self esteem. I highly recommend One Step Beyond!“
“This is a great place for kids to learn kung fu and have fun, while exercising and being active! Sensei Lukas is wonderful! He finds a unique approach to everyone. Kids love him and so do the parents. My son has been going here for almost a year now and I can’t recommend this place enough.“
“My children have been attending classes with Shihan/Master Instructor Eric for more than 2 years. He is able to get kids who don’t enjoy sports to participate in class, which is the test of a good instructor. Shihan Eric is very attentive, gives specific instructions, and approaches children in a calm and friendly but no non-sense manner.Students earn physical games at the end of class that focus on skills needed to progress in martial arts (agility, speed, coordination, etc).“
“Love the class! Randy is a very thorough and patient teacher. I would recommend learning tai chi with him. It has been a rewarding experience so far“
“I've been going to CCMAA for the past 12 years now since I was 5. The community is fantastic and has been an integral part of my life ever since.“
“I've had a handful of personal trainers, but none pushed me to & past my limits like Evan. He helped me achieve my goals above & beyond what I set. My cardiovascular health has improved significantly, I have more endurance & stamina, and my self confidence has greatly improved. I highly recommend his personal training sessions as well as self defense training!!“
“Beyond the physical exertion, which is great, it keeps the kids mentally sharp and well grounded in respect, self confidence and humility.“
“It's really fun here. I like the teacher's and the students. Everyone knows each other and we all get along well“
“The team of Sinsei T, Sinsei P and Mr Fong are awesome, they will teach you how to love to train. It's changed my life. Make the excuse to train.“
“Great, supportive environment to learn martial arts, instructors and other students are very welcoming and always willing to help you learn. Highly recommend for anyone just starting out with a martial art!“
“Great for youth kung fu. Excellent instructors with knowledge of martial arts. They are great at helping students focus and master techniques. Would definitely recommend.“
“Sensei Logan's natural leadership and teaching abilities are impressive. His level of skill, integrity, dedication, and kindness are impactful and exemplary. As parents, my husband and I appreciate that our two autistic children (currently ages 5 & 4) are valued members of the Dojo who are offered the same level of respect and dignity as any other student. A priceless fact that speaks very highly to the impressive character of Sensei Logan. We highly recommend SDSS Newton!“
“FMAA has become home. We started when our little guy was four and in a year he’ll be testing for his black belt. He’s always excited to go. He sees all his instructors as family and talks about them as his family. We recommend FMAA to everyone!“
