Martial Arts Schools near Lynnfield

“My son is 4 years old and was always such a shy little boy. He started at Cervizzi Martial Arts in February and we have seen him grow into this confident little boy. He looks forward to class on Wednesday and Saturdays. It has taught him to never give up and always keep practicing. He even practicing at home and sometimes on his sister lol. He loves his teacher Shihan Diana, who is amazing with the kids and my son loves her! Thank you so much, Shihan Paul, Shihan Diana and the rest of Cervizzi for making my son believe in himself at such a young age! 🥰“

“I went in for the Sunday open mat and the people were very friendly, the mats and shower were clean, and the rolls were good! Will definitely be going back again.“

“My daughter (6) has been attending classes at Fenix Woburn for 2 years, and my son (4) has been attending classes for 1 year. I have seen a tremendous increase in their confidence and social skills since they began classes. All of the Fenix coaches are wonderful with the kids. They create fun, structured classes that helped the kids learn Jiu Jitsu and how to behave in a class setting. I would recommend Fenix to anyone (adult or child) who want to be part of a supportive community while learning important life skills!“

“What a special place! This is easily the best gym I’ve ever trained at. The facilities, instructors, atmosphere, and teammates are all top notch. It can be difficult to balance a competitive and safe culture, but Mike and Christie have done an excellent job creating such a space. The variety of instructors and classes means that anyone can find their perfect schedule here. There’s also an outstanding variety of women to train with and I never feel alone on the mat. This gym has spoiled me and I fear I can never leave!“

“I really like this dojo, they have been great in working with my son. I really enjoy talking to Chip and his team and everyone my wife and I have met have been absolutely amazing. I recommend them to everyone I talk to and if you have a child that could use karate, this is the dojo for you“

“5 months of tai chi and im running out of pains in my body ! cant say enough about the staff only that i wished ive came earlier!“

“Fun safe and hard Judo practice, technical randori partners, kind but tough teachers that are very expierienced, seasoned and practical. Overall very safe place and great competitive atmosphere for all levels. Amazing work with children and they're advanced classes look amazing. They are very skilled teachers and know how to get the best out of everyone, the nervousness goes away with time and self confidance boost from the children to the people up in age is fun to see.“

“it's the only thing my 7 year old has stuck to. He loves coming and all the instructors are amazing with the kids!!“

“My daughter has been taking karate lessons with Master O for 6 years now and she loves it so much that we continue to go to him even after we moved away from the area. Master O is wonderful and we really appreciate how he goes the extra mile to make us feel valued and part of the community.“

“I came back to martial arts after 20 years, and Salem Street Studio is amazing. Not only are the adult classes great, but grandmaster DiScipio and master Bradlee are great with all kinds of kids.“

“I’ve had the pleasure of training at Gentle Art in Peabody, and I’m genuinely impressed. Nassib, the owner, leads with great passion and expertise, creating an environment that is both welcoming and highly professional. The coaching team is knowledgeable, and the focus on technique and respect for the art really stands out. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, this gym is a fantastic place to grow your skills. Highly recommend!“

“My two sons have been training here for many years. It is their favorite part of the week. They are now helping work with some of the younger students which adds to their learning. Wonderful staff and the other kids are so respectful. Prices are very reasonable.“

“Great structure for kids of all ages. Took my daughter and she was hard to get to sit still but she excels in these classes.“

“My son does really well at Cervizzis. Mainly because everyone is so wonderful! He even gets postcards sent home to him acknowledging him and his achievements. They really go above and beyond.“

“Steve Nugents karate Institute has 2 main karate schools or called "dojos", this one in Winchester and the main one on Cambridge Street in Burlington, Mass. They structure their programs around safety and awareness, overall respect, and good basic karate self defense skills. Their instructors led by Grandmaster Nugent are super trained, even in first aid and cpr, which I thought was excellent. They are super passionate and attentive toward their student and actually are quite caring, which I have never found in my searching for quality karate schools. Definitely check them out... I am very impressed !“

“We have been so impressed by the program at Body Mind Systems. The instructors are well prepared, patient with children, and make it a fun class each week. Our son has grown so much as a person since attending BMS. I'm thankful for all of the effort the instructors put in to make it such a quality experience.“

“We love this place. They truly care about the kids while teaching respect for others and discipline.“

“Thank you Sr.Master Landrum and team for helping students build confidence, discipline and respect along with learning Taekwondo skills. We truly appreciate your dedication to make the class fun and engaging. We highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“My child has been taking classes here for a month now and she loves it. It’s such a good outlet to learn manners and body control. Mr. Charles and the other instructors are so good with the kids and I’ve been pleased every time we have gone.“

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

“I started with the 2 week trial and it was great. I've gone on to register for more. The instructors are excellent and are helping me get up to speed. I love it.“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Karate Classes!

Sensei is an incredible instructor! My 5-year-old loves the classes and has learned so much in a short time. The lessons are fun, engaging, and well-structured, helping to build confidence, discipline, and respect. Sensei is patient, encouraging, and truly cares about each student’s progress. I’m so happy we found this dojo—highly recommend it to any parent looking for quality martial arts training for their child!“

“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.“

“My son has been going to EFK since he was 4 years old (he’s 8 now). He is not only gaining physical exercise, but also emotional resilience. The senseis do not hesitate to challenge the students, which I appreciate very much. The dojo is a positive environment, where kids are challenged and encouraged. Highly recommend!“
