Martial Arts Schools near Winthrop

“Former student here. The quality of the workouts is great, and once you get a junior black belt, you get this katana. But I recommend that all parents hide this katana from their kids so they don't hurt themselves nor other people because this is a real katana.
This place has shaped me to become the person I am today, and I would like to thank them for that!“

“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“

“My son has been attending Jae H Kim Taekwondo Institute for over three years now. The school offers a structured environment for learning and encourages discipline.

The teachers have helped my child achieve his goals of improving his self-defense skills, fitness, and self-confidence.“

“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.“

“I'm part of the adult program and love it. I get to train with different instructors and always get a great work out. Manny is energetic, Maia has great knowledge and really help improve combo moves, Tim is really passionate and will push you beyond what you think you are capable of and Chris has the best music and will show life scenarios to associate punches.“

“This school truly is a special hidden gem nestled in the heart of Boston. What started as a random burst of curiosity and whim has turned into a reignition of a childhood passion, a community I am excited to join every evening in class, and a newfound confidence in my mind and body.

All the classes are taught by phenomenal instructors who are incredibly skilled, patient, and kind, not the least of which being the legendary Grandmaster Kim who's passion for teaching, learning, and supporting others is damn near infectious. What you learn isn't how to hurt people and punch a bag a thousand times, but how to truly hone your body and mind, how to discipline yourself and choose your battles wisely, and most importantly how to move through the world with confidence that you can do anything you set your mind to.

This institute has gifted me one of the first communities I found since moving to Boston I really felt I belonged at and will always hold a special place in my heart.“

“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 am in my late 50s and started training at Roshankish less than a year ago. I love it. It is a safe, fun, environment, and the instructors bring out the best in me. They have helped me to reach personal fitness levels that I would not be able to reach on my own.“

“I am 78 yrs old and I have become much stronger. I do functional strength exercises. Peter is patient and an excellent trainer“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is the best school in the area to learn jiu jitsu for self defense. David is a great instructor with an extensive knowledge and experience in martial arts. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Joined the gym 4 years ago to give Muay Thai a try and I'm honored to be one of their fighters. Coaches are super knowledgeable with decades of experience. Members there are very welcoming and a great place for first timers.“

“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 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.“

“Great instructor, very professional and patient. He’s been working with my son for a little over 6 months and we’ve seen real growth in his confidence and discipline. Classes are well run in a positive environment. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“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.“

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