Martial Arts Schools near Winthrop

“The staff is amazing and friendly here! Special shoutouts to Mr. George and Ms. Lisa for motivating and inspiring me to get back into the gym after 10 years. I enjoy their small talk (health tips and compliments :). Meeting them was one of the best things that happened to me. Forever grateful thank you! I am now part of the kickboxing class led by Andrea, she is awesome and pushes you until you're on your knees! LOL. Highly Recommend everyone to stop by and sign up well worth it in the end!“

“I’ve been coming to this gym for about a year now, and it has completely transformed how I feel about fitness. Grayson has been my main personal trainer, and he’s genuinely exceptional — consistently prepared, incredibly knowledgeable, and always able to strike that perfect balance between pushing me and supporting me. He pays attention to the details, adjusts sessions based on how I’m feeling that day, and explains the “why” behind every movement. Training with him has made me stronger, more confident, and way more consistent with my routine than I ever thought I’d be.

I’ve also had a few sessions with Chi and Aidan, and each of them brings something unique to the table. Chi, who’s also the owner, deserves a special mention. He’s incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely cares about every person who walks in. You can feel that the community and atmosphere here come directly from his leadership and personality.

The gym is clean, welcoming, and never overcrowded. Workouts are tailored, effective, and actually enjoyable. After a year here, I genuinely look forward to training and feel better than ever.

Couldn’t recommend this place more — if you’re looking for real personal training with trainers who truly care, this is the spot“

“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!!“

“Cervizzi's-Lynnfield has become a second home for my family. Both my 6 yr old and 4 yr old take classes here

The most transformative experience has been with my son. He is diagnosed with ADHD and has thrived here in ways I didn't expect. The intense focus on self-control and regulation that is built into their curriculum has been so impactful for him. The Senseis are masterful at balancing a disciplined, goal-oriented environment with a fun, warm, and highly supportive atmosphere.
​The results are so clear that my 4-year-old daughter, who has a very big personality, also signed up this summer! The program has been fantastic for her, too, as they dedicate so much time to her overall discipline and focus. The Senseis don't just teach kicks and punches; they instill the valuable life skills of respect, focus, and self-discipline in both our children.
​If you're looking for a martial arts studio that feels like a family while genuinely teaching kids how to be better people, this is the place.“

“Oom Yung Doe is a fantastic movement practice and training regimen for both body and mind. I really appreciate the deep knowledge of the instructor team and the quality of the school.“

“The head coach has a wealth of knowledge. You are definitely going to learn a great skill while also getting a good workout in. The students there are an affirmation of what a great school it is.“

“Would recommend this place for a variety of reasons: it's a relatively supportive environment; right now as of October 25, 2024, their ju-jitsu class has a reasonable level of participants, so you'll find practitioners of varying skill level. For kickboxing, it's a cardio-demanding martial art so expect to prepare yourself to be sweating. Some tips from someone who has been going for over 7 months for kickboxing: Buy hand-wraps either on Amazon or at the dojo, gloves, a water bottle and when you get in there, if you plan on sticking it out for a while, ask to be put in their email system so in the case that the dojo is closed ahead of time, you'd know. The website schedule isn't as fully up-to-date, it's better if you email them for an updated schedule. Currently it's $120 per martial art per month, but there have been some exceptions here and there, it's better if you speak with them in person/on the phone for financial payment clarification. I can talk forever with a bunch of other things but this is too long already. Have fun!“

“I was in the children’s class for most of my childhood, and I moved onto the adult class almost two years ago. While I did learn in the children’s class and it was a fun thing to do as a kid, the adult class has given me a new appreciation for training. The training is very in depth and has increased my understanding of my body, my skills in class and in life, and has given me a great community of people. Highly recommend!“

“David is an amazing instructor, very chill guy he makes sure his students are safe and take in as much info as possible in one hour just Amazing.“

“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.“

“I’ve been going here since for 12 years. Great family atmosphere, top notch coaches with tons of experience, great mix of competitive fighters and enthusiasts. No egos. Welcoming to all. But still pumps out UFC; fighters and Muay Thai champions. The opposite of a McDojo.“

“My son started in September at just 5 years old, and the growth we’ve seen has been incredible. He has gained so much confidence in himself and truly looks forward to going each week.

Master O and Sensei Sean are both so kind, patient, and positive with the kids. They create an encouraging environment where children feel supported while learning discipline and respect. We are so grateful for the impact they’ve had on our son and highly recommend Master O’s to any family looking for a great karate program.“

“I’ve been attending the adult strength & conditioning classes with Master Gomes for years, and they’ve been nothing short of transformative. Master Gomes is an exceptional motivator who knows exactly how to bring out the best in each participant. His ability to recognize individual strengths and weaknesses, ensures everyone gets personalized attention. He’s a highly knowledgeable coach and strength trainer and places strong emphasis on injury prevention, which gave me confidence to push myself safely. The classes are fun, engaging, and highly effective—I’ve felt my strength & agility improve significantly. Highly recommend to anyone looking to work out in a supportive, dynamic environment. As a side note, I’m feeling stronger than my identical twin - who agrees (and who’s currently sidelined with an injury from working out at a different facility)!“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“I recommend it. A pleasant and professional place with a lot of discipline and security, and good teaching.“

“I will be sharing my experiences for almost Two years joining, I’ve been working out, I took some self defense Classes, It’s a place where you feel comfortable, welcome and safe! It feels like home! It’s highly recommended to sign yourself up!! Minga“

“Amazing teaching style. The sensei’s here are great teachers. This is just amazing.-PJ“

“A great community first and then a martial arts school that teaches and fosters respect. My oldest child has been attending the school for 8 years and the youngest for 4 years now and they have both learned the values and rewards of discipline and respect while learning self defense and practicing skills and making friendships that will last a lifetime. What truly sets the school apart from other martial art's schools around it, is that it is taught by adults who volunteer their time and effort and do not get paid for it. You only pay the gym for the access to to gym premises and that fee goes only to the gym and not to the Cambridge Tang Soo Do, so it is not based in profits but simply on the passion of good hearted people. I urge people to come and see and learn more about it.“

“Come join the best martial arts class in town. Helping to build confidence in our youth to help them become who they strive to be. The best instructors around and Kyoshi is one of a kind. I wish I could tell you more but I don’t want to spoil all the fun. Come down and check it out for yourself. Just a trial run will have you joining and that I stand firm on.“

“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 :)“

“Love the class! Randy is a very thorough and patient teacher. I would recommend learning tai chi with him. It has been a rewarding experience so far“

“Outstanding studio that fosters discipline, hones focus, teaches respect, encourages persistence, and builds confidence for kids to grow and thrive.“
