Martial Arts Schools near Stoneham

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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 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.“

“Shihan Colleen is the best! My daughter has been attending her classes for over two years, and we couldn’t be happier. She is not only an outstanding instructor, but also a wonderful role model for the kids. She is also very flexible and accommodating with schedule conflicts. My daughter has gained so much confidence and genuinely looks forward to class every week. I highly recommend New Generation Martial Arts!“

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

“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 !“

“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.“
