Martial Arts Schools near Hyde Park

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

“So happy we found One Step Beyond! My boys (6 and 9) tried soccer, baseball, flag football, but nothing “stuck” until we discovered karate back in March 2021. Fast forward to two classes a week (soon to be 4 ?), 2 belt tests and now a competition team/weapons (all dull, nothing sharp here), my boys couldn’t be happier. Sensei Marie and Sensei Erin are wonderful with the kids and it’s a wide range of all ages and backgrounds. I can honestly say that karate has also taught my boys discipline, fitness, patience and self esteem. I highly recommend One Step Beyond!“

“Bobby and his family/staff are amazing! My son was a member at Bushido Martial Arts for almost 5 years. Its been a wonderful experience watching him learn and grow in Katate. Bobby has been extremely supportive and kind over the years, helping us find our way with scheduling and my son's apprehensions. I would recommend Bushido to anyone who's interested in Martial Arts. They have a variety of classes for all ages. Once you join, you're family!!“

“I have severe neuropathy and dropped feet. I had been wearing AFO braces for three years. My leg muscles were gone. I needed help. I found Chi at Clientel3 and things changed almost overnight. I've stopped wearing the braces. I am walking, granted slowly because my feel still drop and I am prone to tripping, but what a difference! My attitude and confidence are up also. I continue to work on it and expect to continue to improve. Chi and his team are the BEST!“

“Amazing time here! The instructor Dima was very kind and welcoming my first time coming and trying out Jiu Jitsu. The fellow sparrers were also understanding and informative on improvement. Great atmosphere overall“

“My son has been attending Field Martial Arts for over two years, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The instructors are fantastic, keeping the classes fun, engaging, and highly motivating. Through their teachings, my son has developed a strong sense of discipline and respect, all while falling in love with karate. I highly recommend Field Martial Arts to anyone!“

“Whether moving/living nearby or stopping by when passing through, I highly recommend training at the Lab. They have numerous classes for all skill and experience levels and offer private lessons too! The Lab even has competition-specific classes for those who are serious about competing at local, nation-wide, and/or within prestigious/high level organizations. As a regular competitor, the Lab offered/offers me the unique opportunity to train for competitions with others who also have similar competition goals and rigor—something often not offered at other gyms. Further yet, as a woman competitor, it is often a challenge to find gyms that draw in other women competitors to train with; the Lab has skilled, experienced, and competitive women on their mats. If you are serious about competing and you are a woman, do yourself a favor and train at the Lab!“

“I started training here about 4 years ago, with no background in Martial Arts. One of the best decisions I have made. The training is amazing and you see progress really quickly. Master Kim is incredibly knowledgeable and pays great attention to detail, which makes all the difference. The community at the school is also very tight, with everyone helping each other.

Highly recommend!!“

“Amazing institute. It is an honor for my family to be trained by Master Kim and his team. Values such discipline, precision and strength are instilled every lesson. Location is also very convenient.“

“Sensei Bobby is an excellent instructor. My daughter has gained a lot of valuable self-defense skills and her confidence has grown tremendously thanks to his outstanding teaching. The Little Dragons classes are perfect for kids. They get a great work out and learn a lot. If you're thinking about enrolling your kids in martial arts classes, I HIGHLY recommend the Kids Martial Arts program at AMAC.“

“As a student to this martial art school, I’ve been taught necessary techniques, and position on my combos. He is very nice, helpful, and knows a lot of the moves he teaches you on the belt level you are currently on. Because of him, my currently belt level is Jr.Black Belt“

“Would recommend this place for a variety of reasons: it's a relatively supportive environment; right now as of October 25, 2024, their ju-jitsu class has a reasonable level of participants, so you'll find practitioners of varying skill level. For kickboxing, it's a cardio-demanding martial art so expect to prepare yourself to be sweating. Some tips from someone who has been going for over 7 months for kickboxing: Buy hand-wraps either on Amazon or at the dojo, gloves, a water bottle and when you get in there, if you plan on sticking it out for a while, ask to be put in their email system so in the case that the dojo is closed ahead of time, you'd know. The website schedule isn't as fully up-to-date, it's better if you email them for an updated schedule. Currently it's $120 per martial art per month, but there have been some exceptions here and there, it's better if you speak with them in person/on the phone for financial payment clarification. I can talk forever with a bunch of other things but this is too long already. Have fun!“

“Sifu Lindsay creates an environment where everyone is welcomed, respected, and encouraged to grow. Every session offers something new for learners at all levels.“

“Calvin Chin's Martial Arts Academy came to my company to help celebrate the Lunar New Year with their lion dance. We filled three floors of lobby space with our employees watching the performance and excitedly engaging with the lion. The way the lion interacted with the audience together with the music from the beating drums created such a fun and memorable experience for our employees. Thank you!“

“Just started the 5:30 am class. Great start to crush the day. Teacher is great and doesn't push you too far out of your comfort zone right away, but enough so you learn. Would recommend.“

“This is the best school in the area to learn jiu jitsu for self defense. David is a great instructor with an extensive knowledge and experience in martial arts. Highly recommended!“

“Both instructor Andrew and instructor John have an excellent sense of humor and tons of patience, while still taking martial arts training seriously and challenging kids to succeed. Both my daughters took lessons here and had a lot of fun while learning a ton.“

“Joined the gym 4 years ago to give Muay Thai a try and I'm honored to be one of their fighters. Coaches are super knowledgeable with decades of experience. Members there are very welcoming and a great place for first timers.“

“Imagine a martial art studio with zero macho BS, just wonderful human beings of all stripes & types enjoying a high quality and effective level of instruction in a truly fun and caring environment.

Great for adults & kids, there are a lot of students, but this is also clearly a secret gem that, if more people knew about, could easily blow up twice as big as it already is. I'm floored. And not for nothing, Kung Fu AND Tai Chi are freaking beautiful (and empowering) - at the end of class it feels better than yoga ever did (just my personal take - martial arts doesn't just strike a pose, it MOVES).

Davis Square Martial Arts is also terrific for all ages, the studio is very comfortably intergenerational (I'm 49), which I think is quite rare and special. Got an injury or limitation? They will remember and always try to work with it.

Gain balance, posture, a reinvigorated sense of your own movement, strength, and yeah, a splash of extra calm confidence you maybe forgot was in there (or had gotten beaten up by the world a bit). The instructors aren't overtly trying to be inspiring per se, they just show up authentically, and give, and it just happens organically. How cool is that.“

“We signed our grandson up and he loves this !! They are all so great with the kids and adults! Great atmosphere ❤ Definitely recommend to anyone!!“

“The staff is amazing and friendly here! Special shoutouts to Mr. George and Ms. Lisa for motivating and inspiring me to get back into the gym after 10 years. I enjoy their small talk (health tips and compliments :). Meeting them was one of the best things that happened to me. Forever grateful thank you! I am now part of the kickboxing class led by Andrea, she is awesome and pushes you until you're on your knees! LOL. Highly Recommend everyone to stop by and sign up well worth it in the end!“

“I’ve been attending the adult strength & conditioning classes with Master Gomes for years, and they’ve been nothing short of transformative. Master Gomes is an exceptional motivator who knows exactly how to bring out the best in each participant. His ability to recognize individual strengths and weaknesses, ensures everyone gets personalized attention. He’s a highly knowledgeable coach and strength trainer and places strong emphasis on injury prevention, which gave me confidence to push myself safely. The classes are fun, engaging, and highly effective—I’ve felt my strength & agility improve significantly. Highly recommend to anyone looking to work out in a supportive, dynamic environment. As a side note, I’m feeling stronger than my identical twin - who agrees (and who’s currently sidelined with an injury from working out at a different facility)!“

“Great atmosphere for adults, children and families. High level senior instructors who care about the art and passing it on properly.“

“I will be sharing my experiences for almost Two years joining, I’ve been working out, I took some self defense Classes, It’s a place where you feel comfortable, welcome and safe! It feels like home! It’s highly recommended to sign yourself up!! Minga“

“I recommend it. A pleasant and professional place with a lot of discipline and security, and good teaching.“

“Our son loves sensei Brandan! We sense that Sensei understands the children development, he is fun and full of humor while being strict of having class expectations! We often say “what Sensi Brandan talked during taekwondo class today?” when our son forgets the polite words, it often works!
Our son runs a lot and shakes off a lot of energy at Taekwondo class. So far this is his favorite class
On top of that, Sensi Brandan is flexible with schedule changes, life happens!
We strongly recommend if your sweet little one needs to run off steam“

“? Huge thanks to Grandmaster Jay and the entire team at JS US Taekwondo! ?

We are incredibly grateful for your 35 years of dedication to martial arts and for guiding William on his journey. In just 10 months, he has achieved his black belt, and this accomplishment wouldn’t have been possible without your expert coaching, encouragement, and wisdom.

As a 7th-degree black belt, Grandmaster Jay is not only a master of technique but also a true embodiment of the spirit of Taekwondo. His leadership and influence extend far beyond the mat, shaping students into confident, disciplined, and courageous individuals.

JS US Taekwondo is an outstanding school where students learn respect, resilience, and bravery. The rigorous training has helped William grow stronger, both physically and mentally. The entire coaching team here is phenomenal, creating an environment where students thrive and develop not just as martial artists, but as individuals.

Thank you, Grandmaster Jay, for being an amazing mentor and role model! We deeply appreciate everything you do! ??
