“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!“

“Started my Jiu Jitsu journey here nearly two years ago and it was a great place to start and continue to train! Though I’m not in Boston anymore, I try my best to train here every time I’m back in the city“

“Bushido Martial Arts Academy has been such a positive experience for my three girls the last 4 years. The sensei group is fantastic - they have a great awareness of when and how to push children to achieve and when to take it easy on them. I’ve seen them manage a variety of personalities simultaneously. I would highly recommend them for anyone starting out or continuing learning in martial arts!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I highly recommend Authentic Karate Training Center. Sensei Chip is an amazing teacher and role model for the students. I attribute a great deal of my son’s growth, development and budding confidence to Sensei Chip’s values and teachings. Our time at Authentic Karate Training Center has been rewarding and far beyond my expectations. There are not enough superlatives for how highly I recommend Authentic Karate Training Center.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 can't say enough good things about professor Rocky DiRico. he had taught me that good and honest martial arts would help me be successful with my karate schools. A true champion ? Thank you.“
