“I have been coming to Villari's Martial Arts Center after finishing pt for a total hip replacement. I have been attending the class Tai Chi for Arthritis. In addition to Tai Chi, Master Leong has also been instructing the class in stretches that have helped my flexibility with my hip. In talking with Master Leong, she has studied with instructors in order to develop this class.In September of 2020, I moved from the Tai Chi for Arthritis to practicing "regular" Tai Chi. I have found it to be very beneficial with my balance and movement. I would highly recommend trying Tai Chi.“

“Mastery Martial Arts Smithfield RI has been such a transformational experience for my grandson. It has only been 14 weeks and the change in his attitude and demeanor has been so positive! The team in Smithfield are so great with all the students in encouraging them to succeed. I can’t wait to see what great progress my grandson will achieve over the coming months! He is definitely dedicated, motivated, and on his way to being his best thanks to this program. They teach more than just karate skills, they teach life skills! Thank you Mastery Martial Arts Smithfield instructors and staff!“

“I've been attending EP Martial Arts since January, and it's been an awesome experience. The instructors and owners are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and welcoming. The classes are well-structured and fun, creating a great environment for both adults and kids. I've been taking Sanda Kickboxing, and my son has been taking Kids Kung Fu. We're both having a ton of fun and I highly recommend it!“

“I am happy that I chose to start my martial arts journey with Providence Aikido. Since the first day of class, the instructors and students have been welcoming and patient. This really is a supportive community and there is room for everyone!
You will learn throws, rolls, how to escape from someone grabbing your arms, hands or clothes, and hand grab techniques. The instructors here have decades of experience, and they are approachable and very knowledgeable in Aikido tradition. You will have the opportunity to work with David Halprin Sensei, 7th dan (7th degree black belt), who earned his rank in the Aikido World headquarters in Tokyo. I also like that we have female instructor seminars! This is a very special place, and we are fortunate to have it in Providence.“

“RSAK is an incredible place to learn karate. Our son has been going for several years and it's amazing to see his progress through the belts. Mr. Silva, Mr. L, and all of the other instructors bring intense enthusiasm to each and every class, helping kids become the best version of themselves. I couldn't imagine our son at any other karate studio than this one, thank you for all that you do!“

“A great dojo to learn traditional karate! Sensei Ken is very knowledgeable and patient! You definitely work up a sweat training in this Okinawan style! I recommend giving it a try!“

“I got it and it is so fun like really fun and taekwondo class is really fun and when you're doing take on no class you could also do like games and practice a lot of stuff“

“Jimmy Connor has been my instructor, friend, and brother in Jiu Jitsu since I started in 2010. He is an incredible martial artist and teacher, utterly dedicated to the Arte Suave of Jiu Jitsu, and to the technical and martial arts development of his students as well as anyone who walks in trough the doors of Ocean State Studios BJJ.

I am a college professor, dedicated to pedagogy, and can say without reservations that the group of instructors at OSS BJJ, Jimmy, Matt, Dion, and Otto are the most effective and devoted collective of teachers that I have ever come across. And the technical level at OSS speaks for itself: If you have visited and experienced it, you know. :). In sum: if you want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a relaxed, open, friendly, yet sublimely technical environment, check Ocean State Studios out.“

“I've been going here for about a year with my kids and this place has changed my life: physically and mentally. It's really not the facility or the equipment when it comes to martial arts: it's really about the instructor (or "master"). Master Michelet is an exceptional taekwondo practitioner. He is great with kids and he really has a passion for the art.“

“??Strong classes, I do kickboxing Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00 p.m. We work the whole body every time I get stronger and each class is a challenge for me thanks to the professional coach Joe. Thank you Joe!“

“My children's birthday party was here and every single guest had an amazing time. Mr. Martinez impressed everyone with his ability to engage kids of all ages.“

“Hahaha. Wow. As a bleeding heart liberal with socialist leaning and someone who doesnt really care about guns, i did train at this school for a year. In that time i never saw sensei or any of his assistant instructors or students with a firearm. Perhaps times have changed, but as i may disagree with sensei's political leanings, i must say that his karate instruction and dedication to real self defensr are top notch. Hands down one of the most serious, focused and disciplined dojos i have ever trained at, and politics didnt come up very often or get in the way of very dedicated instruction. His long term students were and probably still are badasses. At the time he had classes available 5 nights a week and two morning classes. 2 hours of straight karate and continuos contact sparring. I will always appreciate sensei Gagne's approach to traditional shorinji matsumura te. Domo arigato sensei!“

“went here a couple years ago and got to a yellow belt. lost alot of weight due to this and it was very fun. definitely recommend.“

“Had a great time on the golf simulator when we finished up Tom the owner told us we could finish up and stay a little longer since there was no one after us. Over all great experience and would definitely recommend coming by if your are a golfer.“

“Learned the 24 postures of Tai Chi over the course of a twelve week class. I really enjoyed the philosophy and physical movement. Looking forward to coming back for more classes!“

“karate is more than something to learn and you can learn discipline to yourself and learn to be humble with others I recommend it to all ages it's a great blessing I'm learning from it..“

“I love this place. 10/10 I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time. Mentally I’m learning new skills, physically I get a sweaty awesome workout, emotionally I have gained more confidence in my ability to defend myself. ?❤️“
