Martial Arts Schools near Winthrop

“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!“

“The most holistic place I have ever done personal training. Health focused, scientifically minded, and performance and outcomes driven. Kaylee is an incredible trainer and physical therapist, and the rest of the staff at C3 shines as well. Chi, the owner of the gym brings together many years of personal and professional experience with high level athletic training, and imbues this knowledge into his team.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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 joined the Jae Hun Kim Taekwon-do Institute's Boston location approximately six months ago, entering as a novice with no prior experience in taekwondo or any martial arts. Despite not being in the younger age demographic, I was nervous about starting this journey, especially uncertain of my capabilities. However, I can confidently say that this decision has proven to be one of the most rewarding of my life.I have had the privilege and honor of being taught by Master Kim and received unparalleled instructions from him. I am always amazed by Master Kim's remarkable ability to recall every student's name and closely monitor individual progress, always giving a sense of personalized attention, even amidst a diverse class of varying belt levels. Throughout the past six months, I have felt nurtured, mentored, motivated, and have learned five forms and many taekwondo skills under Master Kim's guidance. Not to mention getting a great workout!But this is not all. Here are other reasons why this school stands out:1. The school accommodates flexible class schedules for both students and professionals with a class timetable designed to suit diverse schedules.2. The school fosters a friendly and uplifting culture, where every member feels part of a supportive family. Both my peers and Master Kim consistently inspire me to strive for excellence and continual improvement.3. The school offers sparring classes. Despite initial reservations, participating in sparring sessions has enriched my experience and contributed significantly to my development as a martial artist.4. The school offers classes on Zoom!In summary, my journey at Jae Hun Kim Taekwon-do Institute has exceeded all expectations, thanks to the exceptional instruction, supportive community, and diverse learning opportunities offered by this esteemed institution.“

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

“Amazing teaching style. The sensei’s here are great teachers. This is just amazing.-PJ“

“I’ve been going here since for 12 years. Great family atmosphere, top notch coaches with tons of experience, great mix of competitive fighters and enthusiasts. No egos. Welcoming to all. But still pumps out UFC; fighters and Muay Thai champions. The opposite of a McDojo.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

““

“First, I really wanted to thank Master Gomes and everyone who is a part of the dojang. My son is just SO HAPPY, more confident and his hands and feet are getting stronger. I have tears in my eyes writing this because of his tremors he has been teased and bullied and also when covid started he has been harassed for being Vietnamese. I am proud to be mixed as well as both my boys but understand sometimes we get treated differently. Last Friday when he broke the board he was ecstatic! And I wanted to truly thank you all for building his confidence.“

“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.“

“This school has been a wonderful place for my kids to learn about martial arts and about generally being good humans. The instructors are very good, there is a wide mix of people, and the atmosphere is amazingly supportive while demanding excellence as well.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Wonderful local Karate lessons. Very clean and always willing to accommodate the kids and clients!“

“Lemme tell ya the best class ever! I went for the first time to punch out about a month ago and I go every Monday & Wednesday. The energy of the staff and sensei are so supportative but you walk out dripping sweat. I was always so nervous to do a class but I felt comfortable right away, I joined Sensei's karate class as well. The class works for every one! sensei makes it easy for you to adjust to harder or easier workouts based on your ability. I'm so happy I found this class I live all the way in Medford and it's totally worth the commute I recommend this work out studio for anyone and everyone, you belong here :)“

“I started practicing a few years ago after my son started classes and love it. The practice space is huge and there are usually kids classes happening at the same time as adult classes, which makes it convenient for families. There are also lunch time classes during the week. The lunchtime classes are usually very small and it can be essentially a private lesson with a super teacher. The classes always run on time. The instruction is top notch and all the instructors are friendly, knowledgeble and approachable. Master Kim also teaches almost every day and is phenomenal. There is also light sparring on Weds and full contact sparring on Friday nights, which I've loved and would recommend. Every class is different and I've learned something new every time I've stepped on the mat.“
