Allan Azoff Martial Arts Academy

I have been studying Uechi-Ryu karate since I was twelve years old. Upon my first visit as a young teen striving for black belt I knew that it was one of the best schools in New England if not the world. I started at another dojo and always admired the strong and poised students of Alan Azoff's Martial Arts Academy.

I was fortunate to get the opportunity to enroll there as I returned to Uechi-Ryu karate after a brief hiatus studying Judo. I chose the school as an adult knowing that it was a place of excellence, respect, and camaraderie.

The headmaster of this dojo is one of the best martial artists I've ever met in addition to being a gifted storyteller. He knows the history of Uechi-Ryu karate because he has been at the heart of it at every turn.

The virtues of black belt instilled here have improved my life in more ways than I can count. I cannot recommend the school enough. Come try a class and you'll see what I mean!

We feel really lucky to have found such a patient and dedicated karate teacher. He cares about so much more than just teaching karate—he helps the kids build confidence, discipline, healthy habits, and a strong mindset. You can really tell how much he cares about each child. So grateful for everything he does!
