Martial Arts Schools near Topsfield

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

“Every class at Pedro’s Judo is a learning experience not just for the students, but for the parents too. My wife and I absolutely love this Judo center. The environment is incredibly welcoming — it truly feels like a family. The instructors are phenomenal, and many of them have children of their own, so they know exactly how to connect with and motivate kids in a positive, disciplined way. You can see the pride and passion they put into every lesson, building confidence, respect, and focus in every student. It’s amazing to watch how much progress the kids make, both on and off the mat. Pedro’s Judo isn’t just about martial arts — it’s about character, community, and growth. We couldn’t be happier to have our family be part of this place!“

“I’m a life long combat athlete who is just starting to tip the scales on declining physical and mental health and after learning about blue zones and longevity I wanted to transition my hobbies and lifestyle towards healthier aging . I wasn’t sure what I wanted but I wanted something that could meet the majority of the attributes I believe help you age healthier. The idea of taking a traditional martial art appealed to me because although not the same it did have a continuity with my previous combat sport experience and I thought that would give me some confidence learning something completely new. I looked at a few schools and styles but loved the traditional aspect and uechi style that I saw when I visited authentic karate training center. After taking the introductory class and 2 week trial there was no question this was the best place for me to achieve my goals. Not only is sensie chip an amazing teacher but everyone in the dojo is fantastic and welcoming. It’s honestly been a pleasure to train here and I would recommend authentic karate training center to everyone and quite often do !“

“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!“

“I cant say enough about how amazing this place has been for my son and family! This place has become like a family to us. My son has ASD and I did not think I could find a place for him. This place has changed our lives. Big thank you to Sandra she keeps the place and activity's going strong!“

“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!“

“The head coach has a wealth of knowledge. You are definitely going to learn a great skill while also getting a good workout in. The students there are an affirmation of what a great school it is.“

“Amazing for kids!!! Really value the hard work the whole staff puts in. The programs are run really well for each age group and your child learns so much about themselves. Personally my daughter was shy and would follow the crowd. Karate has definitely helped her be herself, be more confident and follow her own path. Recommend to all parents!“

“Phenomenal teachers, community, and environment. I love that the culture is one of learning and collaboration where everyone is welcome!“

“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 started taekwondo three years ago. Going to Middleton US Taekwondo is the highlight of my day. All of the instructors are very caring and nice and they treat everybody with respect.Master Han leads his staff by example and I have learned so much from his teachings. He always encourages us to push to a higher level and I have enjoyed going to competitions as well. I highly recommend Middleton U.S taekwondo.“

“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!“

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

“I’ve been taking the remote kickboxing class since April. I really don’t know what I would do without it during this pandemic. Deborah watches me so I don’t want to slack and I keep my intensity up. She is great with instruction and does the movements with us. I need this accountability! Without this class I would be distracted and not get a good workout in. Deborah is really knowledgeable about fitness too so I feel I can ask her questions and she will stear me in the right direction.“

“Outstanding studio that fosters discipline, hones focus, teaches respect, encourages persistence, and builds confidence for kids to grow and thrive.“
