From the reviews
My son started karate last summer and loves his time at the dojo. The instructors are great at providing feedback to improve form and encourage all students to be respectful and disciplined. I have seen a lot of progress in my son's ability to focus and have discipline at home. Renshi Dan is friendly and approachable.
My son has taken classes for almost 6 months. He loves it! The instructors are competent, inspiring, encouraging and supportive, and provide individualized instruction as needed.
My boys really enjoy coming here. All staff members are caring and supportive of the kids in the class. They are great role models and lead by example. The atmosphere is very positive and refreshing. I enjoy watching my kids set goals and accomplish them by staying focused, determined, and dedicated.

New to kickboxing? Start at Northeast Family Martial Arts
Northeast Family Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Northeast Family Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
