Martial Arts Schools near Millbury

“When our son first began karate at the age of 4 almost 3 years ago, we never expected his passion to grow this rapidly. He looks forward to his class twice a week and speaks so highly of his Shihan, Steve. It’s important for young children to have a leader that is strong in his skill and at the same time still provide a fun environment for learning while enforcing respect for not just the instructor, but everyone around them. We truly love and appreciate all that this family has provided us and look forward to a lasting relationship.“

“My son loves Mr Hebert and his team of instructors, they’re always kind and courteous to everyone, and do a really great job making fun games and challenges for all of the students!“

“It’s a wonderful place, providing the kids with an amazing experience. The teachers do an outstanding job motivating their students.“

“Very fun and welcoming place, absolutely amazing instructors and staff, has classes for all ages, and more!“

“I’ve been training at ABD Shrewsbury for about six weeks now, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. I started with little to no background, and from the very first class I felt comfortable, supported, and motivated to keep coming back. The instructors are outstanding, highly skilled, supportive, and truly invested in helping you improve. Sensei Sarah and Mr. Jimmy do an incredible job creating a challenging, encouraging, and confidence-building environment. What really stands out is the realistic, practical approach to self-defense that makes every class feel useful and relevant. The workouts are challenging but manageable, even for beginners. I’ve gained a noticeable boost in confidence in a short amount of time. My fellow classmates are also supportive, respectful, and motivating which makes the experience even better. I would absolutely recommend America’s Best Defense to anyone looking to learn real self-defense while getting a great workout.“

“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mass Dojo and sensei Eric Rossini in particular, for the amazing job he does with the kids! I love how he coordinates fun, humor and discipline so well together!
Having a bad experience from another Martial Art School “ America’s Best Defense” my family feels very lucky to be part of MassDojo the last 9 months. MassDojo is a real Martial Art School not a Franchise. People , you have to understand that your child will not learn self defense skills by punching and kicking in the air, not by Celebrating Birthday Parties , or Valentines or Mother’s/ Father’s Day. They need a real person to practice those skills.
I really do not understand how in 2024 some rude individuals can work with kids and treat kids with different standards .
My daughter left very heartbroken from the previous school but i am so proud of her ! Even why she was only 6 years old at the time , she did not accepted being treated unfairly and disrespected . So ,she asked us to leave that school and go in a real Martial Art School and win Real Medals ,not Dollar Store Medals ? - she said.
She is a child of a sheer determination! Her goal was to become Champion of Massachusetts when she first started at MassDojo but in only 9 months she accomplished much more ! She became Champion of USA for 7 years old female. She has won a total of 10 medals in US tournaments (bronze, silver, gold). All her medals are “deserved medals” not given to her because her parents are someone or she has younger siblings that could be prospective students.
For records , my review is made out of my heart and my fair real experience not because i am benefiting anything!
I just love watching children grow and thrive!
If you want your child thrive , learn self defense skills , be confident , treated with respect and equally as they deserve , choose MassDojo!“

“After moving across the country with my family, we were searching for a sense of community—and we found it at this karate school. From day one, they welcomed us with open arms. Anytime I've struggled, they've been there with genuine support and encouragement. It's more than just a karate school; it's a family. The care and camaraderie shared among students and instructors truly extend beyond the mats, and that warmth has embraced my little family as well. We're so grateful to be part of this incredible place“
