“Great school I’ve learned a lot and I must say the atmosphere is perfect they have created a great program for all your judo needs truly an honor to be part of Pedro’s Judo fyi been training -5 months going on 6“

“Sometimes with niche sports there is a level of “gatekeeping” that comes with it. Not here. Everyone, coaches and members are extremely welcoming. So if you’re looking to get into bjj and want a positive environment, this is the place for you. Also, great facility, very clean, and tons of space to work out or attend classes. Can’t recommend this place enough“

“My two kids have loved the karate classes from ages 7-11 (and counting). They have learned about being focused and patient, practicing toward a goal, discipline and of course the actual self-defense techniques. I've taken adult classes and these are also very well taught – tailored to individual needs while teaching broadly applicable skills.“

“Amazing place! Coach Dave is phenomenal—his expertise and passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are evident in his teaching style. He made sure to give personalized attention to everyone in the class, making me feel included and motivated.

The environment is incredibly supportive, and the fellow students were equally encouraging and friendly. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, NESF BJJ is the perfect place to train. Highly recommended!“

“I visited Mass BjJ back in December and was treated like family. The owner Mike allowed me to drop in from my school in Los Angeles to do fundamentals as well as his advanced classes. Great instructors ready to help and answer in questions. Also, got to roll with two of his high competition brown belts who showed me how much harder I'm going to need to work to get to their level. Was a ton of fun and brown belt Jeff sent me off with some details I was able to bring back to my school on passing guard and entering into x guard. Picked up a dope great hoodie that I constantly wear. I'll be back and better. Thanks, Mike! OSS“

“My daughter was a pupil here for thier after school program. My little brother was a former student and recomended it to us for our autistic daughter. She is not a very athletic type at all and we had major reservations but decided to give it a shot. Very glad we did. A great bonus is they pick up her from school along with the other students everyday and walk over to the stuido just 2 blocks away. They really were great with her. She is not a problem child at all but due to being on the autistic spectrum understandably would be a harder child to work with during the martial arts class portion of the daily structure. Master Disipio and all other staff was never once discouraging about her extremely slow progress and in fact was surprisingly optimistic about everything especially in motivating our very unmotivated daughter(lol) while still being sensitive to her differences to the other students. All and all a great alternative for the everyday after school program. Each day every child get a mix of play, education, self disipline and structure. Would highly recommend it.“

“Cervizzi’s Martial Arts in Lynnfield is Amazing. They teach more than just self-defense techniques and many of the benefits extend beyond karate.Students learn discipline, self-respect, self-control and confidence. These are benefits from instruction, effort in a structured environment. Post-covid-> the dojo enhanced their teaching offerings to include online learning as well as thoughtful in-person classes (limiting class size, taking temperatures, wearing masks, and cleaning between each class). Cervizzi’s Martial Arts in Lynnfield has been the one consistent activity during Covid and it is a testament to the dedication of the instructors and staff.Our daughter has been going for 4+ years. We saw how much she was growing that our son joined for the past 3+ years, and to make it a family bond, I joined 2 years ago. I have witnessed each of our growth. One annual tournament really stuck out to me. Our daughter entered a competition for weapons, forms, and sparring. Before the forms event, she had to speak in front of the judges (and about 75+ spectators). I felt nervous for her but the crowd didn’t impede her one bit. She remain focused and executed her form flawlessly. I share this specific moment because it is another benefit beyond classes: the ability to practice, practice, practice, execute and compete.We highly recommend Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy!“

“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.“

“Professor Nassib is great with the kids! A Very passionate teacher, I 100% recommend this school! ??“

“Tried the Kickboxing classes with Coach Anthony. He’s a great instructor and ensured we were focused on the basics and using proper techniques. Highly recommended!“

“There is no other place like Authentic Karate! Sensei Chip and Mr. Andrew are outstanding leaders and role models for children. I first enrolled my son when he was 5 years old and his little sister started at 3 years old after watching him for several months. My kids look forward to karate and look up to Sensei Chip and Mr. Andrew. I don't think you could find any dojo like this one! I love seeing my kids grow mentally, socially, and emotionally through karate. I also love that young adults/teens are involved in teaching the younger kids classes. Sensei Chip is also a great resource for parents navigating their kids through school and the problems that arise. If I could give 10 stars I would!“

“Sensei Bobby and his staff delivered one of the most amazing birthday parties. All of the kids were kept busy, had fun, and learned a lot. In short, all the kids had a BLAST and parents are talking about what a great party it was. Highly recommend!“

“Great martial arts classes with great instructors for children and adults.I highly recommend joining!“

“I'm constantly looking forward to my next class at Wu Dao. Shifu Lindsay Lambert is an excellent teacher with a broad range of martial arts expertise -- she often says that good Tai Chi is relevant to everything, mentioning principles of Choy Lay Fut, Sanda, Shuai Jiao, and other arts. The Tai Chi class environment is friendly and motivating, while also cultivating depth and seriousness when it comes to technique. It feels like the kind of training I want to be doing for a long time. I started attending not long after a surgery, and Shifu Lindsay checked in with me to make sure the training and conditioning was going well and feeling doable as I recovered. Every week I feel more and more natural in the foundational Tai Chi I'm learning, and Qigong and conditioning exercises have been perfect for getting mobile and flexible again after a period of inactivity. Soon I hope to start training in the Kung Fu classes as well. This place is the real deal!“

“Master McCory Taekwondo school is nothing short of exceptional. My brother have experienced unparalleled care, understanding, and support from the masters here. Beyond teaching martial arts, they nurture personal growth and resilience, imparting invaluable life lessons. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making every visit a joy. I wholeheartedly recommend Bruce McCory Taekwondo school to anyone seeking not just self-defense skills, but also a community that fosters love, empathy, and personal development.“

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

“A great community first and then a martial arts school that teaches and fosters respect. My oldest child has been attending the school for 8 years and the youngest for 4 years now and they have both learned the values and rewards of discipline and respect while learning self defense and practicing skills and making friendships that will last a lifetime. What truly sets the school apart from other martial art's schools around it, is that it is taught by adults who volunteer their time and effort and do not get paid for it. You only pay the gym for the access to to gym premises and that fee goes only to the gym and not to the Cambridge Tang Soo Do, so it is not based in profits but simply on the passion of good hearted people. I urge people to come and see and learn more about it.“

“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!“

“This place is great! John is amazing! He Was very patient with my son. Very friendly and very professional. 5 Stars all the way.“

“This is the best judo dojo we've ever been a part of. Friendly, great teachers, multicultural“

“Been coming here for years and love it! This gym feels like a family, where everyone of all ages and abilities is welcome. The adult kickboxing workouts kick my butt!“

“It is impossible to give anything other than a five star rating when you consider the individual attention, the care, the experience, the expertise you get here. I simply wish I had started earlier in my training.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“
