83 Pine St #5, Peabody“My son started his karate journey in 2021 to see if this was something he may be interested in for him and for us to see if it could help his self esteem, and to feel more confident. In the almost two years he has been there, he has shown such progress that I couldn’t imagine it would have happened without the teachers and community at the dojo! He challenged himself recently in a tournament they held and he really proved to himself, and to us that he is brave, resilient, courageous, and willing to tackle challenges even if they seem to others to be too much! So proud of all he has accomplished with the dojo community’s help and looking forward to see how much more he will grow.We had checked out a couple other places before landing at AKTC and please believe not all places are similar. Here, you can watch your child during each class. The teachers take a genuine interest in each child yet make sure they are progressing. They make sure that the time spent during each class is about furthering, perfecting and understanding each move while still keeping in mind the ages of the children and somehow managing to keep their focus, and structure yet not in an overbearing militant way. There are many karate places close to where we live but AKTC is worth the travel/traffic!“
“I started here 4 months ago with zero knowledge of BJJ. Next month I will be competing in my first tournament. The instruction, support and postive influence here is incredible.My 6 year old son is also a student here and training has helped him incredibly with focus, disapline and overall helping him to mature and feel confident about standing up for himself around other pushy kids. I can not say enough about Fenix BJJ Danvers. OSS!!7 years in, still going. Still the same amazing training!!Been training here nearly 8 years now, and I received my brown belt. I've been teaching the Thursday nights, all levels, classes... this gym has become our second home and Coach Nassib our family....“

5 Post Office Square, Lynnfield“Cervizzi’s Martial Arts in Lynnfield is Amazing. They teach more than just self-defense techniques and many of the benefits extend beyond karate.Students learn discipline, self-respect, self-control and confidence. These are benefits from instruction, effort in a structured environment. Post-covid-> the dojo enhanced their teaching offerings to include online learning as well as thoughtful in-person classes (limiting class size, taking temperatures, wearing masks, and cleaning between each class). Cervizzi’s Martial Arts in Lynnfield has been the one consistent activity during Covid and it is a testament to the dedication of the instructors and staff.Our daughter has been going for 4+ years. We saw how much she was growing that our son joined for the past 3+ years, and to make it a family bond, I joined 2 years ago. I have witnessed each of our growth. One annual tournament really stuck out to me. Our daughter entered a competition for weapons, forms, and sparring. Before the forms event, she had to speak in front of the judges (and about 75+ spectators). I felt nervous for her but the crowd didn’t impede her one bit. She remain focused and executed her form flawlessly. I share this specific moment because it is another benefit beyond classes: the ability to practice, practice, practice, execute and compete.We highly recommend Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy!“

260 Market St, Lynnfield“My child started with Master O 5 years ago at another location. Sensei Herman treats his students with firmness, fairness, dignity and compassion. He has mentored my kid through difficult teen years. Other kids would be fortunate to have time at this dojo.“

304 Central St, Saugus“Longtime business conveniently located in Saugus Center. Extremely experienced & qualified and an easy 5-Star recommendation for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Lemme tell ya the best class ever! I went for the first time to punch out about a month ago and I go every Monday & Wednesday. The energy of the staff and sensei are so supportative but you walk out dripping sweat. I was always so nervous to do a class but I felt comfortable right away, I joined Sensei's karate class as well. The class works for every one! sensei makes it easy for you to adjust to harder or easier workouts based on your ability. I'm so happy I found this class I live all the way in Medford and it's totally worth the commute I recommend this work out studio for anyone and everyone, you belong here :)“
“We love this place. They truly care about the kids while teaching respect for others and discipline.“

285 Washington St, Marblehead“I definitely recommend training with this exceptional group. I joined them online back in May 2020, being a resident of the Philippines, and they have patiently been guiding and teaching me for 2 years now. The mentoring sessions and the brotherhood you feel in the training, especially the physical training they teach are priceless.Sifu Peter Easterlind and his instructors are experts in the field of boxing and practical self defense. You can see their expertise by how their students improve during the training process, just like how their teachings have tremendously improved my personal training. They continuously improve their curriculum and teach us also to continue growing and evolving. That's core focus of their program... GROWTH and IMPROVEMENT. I have respect for the trainers in this group.“
“My daughter loves it here. She started in February and I believe it was a great decision we made. She has learned a lot in this small amount of time. Everyone that works there is super nice and welcoming . :)“
