Martial Arts Schools in Somerville

“Helps kids feel confident in themselves . Great job teaching kids. Very patient with kids in every level.“

“Excellent teachers Gafa and Gigante! Great respectful students, outstanding cantigos (songs) and instuments. All techniques are in Brazilian Portuguese. Took my first class here and I'm staying. I also noticed they are very respectful of the whole Capoeira community as a whole and as a Brazilian, I really enjoyed everything about them. Reasonable price, they respond if you get in contact, 100/100 experience!“

“Excellent school with wonderful instructors! My kids have attended for years, with my daughter is currently working on her black belt. The instructors get to know each student and support and challenge them in a very caring, thoughtful way. Students learn Kung Fu forms and self-defence, and increase fitness and flexilibity. But perhaps more importantly, they develop life skills: confidence, respect, self-respect, perseverence when working towards a new goal, and the joy and pride when reaching that goal. All while learning to be patient with themselves and others. The amazing staff at Davis Square Martial Arts were living the Growth Mindset long before it became a buzzword in education.I take the parents' class, which is an inspiring mix of martial arts, self-defence, personal training, and parenting therapy. And you get to kick stuff:) Pretty awesome! And a lovely community too.“
