Martial Arts Schools near Tiverton

“Training with Sensei Mark has been nothing short of transformational for our son. His levels of confidence, attention to detail, work ethic, and accountability have shot through the roof. The training is realistic, there are high expectations and standards within the dojo—-as they should be. Mark takes on a leadership role in helping to develop the future leaders of America. To anyone that thinks this is just martial arts or just kenpo….you’re missing the point that these are also life lessons for our youth. Guide them to do hard things, hold them accountable, and teach them to defend themselves and others. You won’t regret this investment into the adults they become. Mark is a great steward and leader in that journey & I have complete trust + faith in how he runs his academy.“

“The kickboxing class with Coach Gil is awesome 👍. Especially if you are just starting out. He also does sessions with my sons (5 and 7) on the weekends and it's gotten them excited about martial arts and exercising in general. My 7 year old has autism and Gil works great with him. The gym here is a good environment with great people to be around.“

“I got the opportunity to begin training at Mission First last year, and it has been a phenomenal experience. Pat is an awesome instructor, and his classes are structured in a way that maximizes learning techniques while gaining invaluable live rolling practice. Classes are filled with multiple upper belts, including several Black belts who assist with teaching, which gives significant opportunity to experience different styles to continue growing your own game. I've learned more here in a year than all my previous years of training combined. I'd highly recommend taking advantage of training at Mission First if you are local.“

“My son, who is 7, trains here. Most on-hand training I’ve seen is very controlled and very informative. Teachers of kickboxing and BJJ are awesome, and most importantly, my son loves it.“

“My daughter is a student and absolutely loves it here! She's developing confidence and skills she is able to apply to everyday life and learning. We as a family enjoy the personal experience, highly recommend.“

“One of the only legit "traditional" martial art dojos in the area. It's not easy, but you will learn an art that has been past down through many generations. This system is also complete and not one dimensional; standup, groundwork, throwing and weapons all wrapped up in one art. If you're ready to learn, don't hesitate, jump in and become part of the family!“
