the best place I've ever been my kids have the best teaching and the prices are the best I highly recommend
i absolutely loved this place best martial arts place hands down amazing
Great place, great instructors, and super professional.
Master Red and master Cooper, are awesome, very disciplined, is a good place for leaning de fundamentals of martial arts. I recommend.
We have been coming here for a while now ! We love it and my son loves it so much . It taught him how to be smart and use his mind in a different way, and give him the skills to defend himself. My 5 years started the ninja class and he LOVES being challenged and it def does that for him . Both kids respect Master Cooper and love him very much . 100% recommend them.
Four weeks ago I decided to try out the Taekwondo class NEMA offers. I did not know what to expect really. I walked in and was greeted by Master Red, wearing her red uniform, tall, beautiful, Russian woman. I was intimated and unsure what I was actually getting myself into. Master Red assured me I would like Taekwondo as I showed interest in kicks. She also mentioned how she was 30 when she first tried this out, giving me more confidence in myself before entering class.
Master Red walked me into the dojo to observe the advanced kids class Master Cooper was teaching. All I could think about was "why did I wait 31 years to try this out!?" The kids were learning how to use nunchucks! It caught my attention. Master Red made the decision very easy for me, offering me several different options after I tested the class out myself.
The next class, I received my bag with sparring gear and the uniform and white belt I will wear for classes.
I attended my first basic skills class for teens/adults taught by Master Cooper. What I enjoyed about the first day experience was the variety of different levels each student has accomplished. I love being able to practice with different levels as everyone has some advice they can offer and help with. The best part for me is that I am learning useful skills, getting a great work out, and have a place where I can defuse the day/week and leave my worries at the door.
I have learned how to do several kicks, kick combos, spin kicks, round house, side, back, and a punch - kick combo. I have gone to a couple sparring classes, one sparring class held each week. I was paired up with my fellow adult white belt student in my first sparring day. It was a bit scary to be paired with a male at first. However, as new students, we didn't spar like the other students, we got to practice combos on each other. So allowing your partner to hit/kick you and vice versa. One reason for this is to get the body used to getting hit so you gain the endurance needed for actual sparring. I enjoyed getting to practice but also being able to watch the other students spar against each other. It gave me the full picture of what to expect and how far I can move up with practice and effort. One day I will be the one learning to use nunchucks!
NEMA uses Google classroom for additional resources, knowledge & homework. The homework assigned are a series of workouts for the month which are shown in a short video for the student to complete and upload to Master Cooper for grading. I love this design because the students are responsible to ensure they continue to condition and train their bodies outside of classes. It also gives Master Cooper an idea as to where each individual student is at in their training on a private platform rather than in front of all the other students. Being disciplined to complete exercises and practice kicks outside of class will only help you master the skills you are aiming for. Self-discipline.
I am still very new to this but wanted to write a brief review of how I like my first month with NEMA so far. I will post an updated review when I am closer to the 3-4 month mark!
I am 31 and female, this is the best purchase I could've made for my well-being. It is never too late to try something new. I'm happy with my enrollment at NEMA in Marlborough.
Master Cooper and Master Red are phenomenal. Through their collaboration, passion, and tireless work ethic they have created more than a school; it is a welcoming community that is focused on building discipline, professionalism, grit, integrity, self-awareness, inter and intrapersonal skills, compassion, self-worth, and honor in all of their students. With his high expectations, Master Cooper diligently works at reaching all students, regardless of their abilities. My son is hard of hearing and is aided with a cochlear implant; which mean he interacts with his world much differently than most children. Master Cooper and Master Red have created adaptions so that my son can effectively, joyfully, and actively engage in class. I am grateful that my son has a place where he knows that he is included, empowered, and welcomed. His study of Taekwondo has allowed him to improve his focus, coordination, and impulsivity. My son looks forward to his two classes every week with Master Cooper and Master Red. I look forward to watching my son blossom under Master Cooper's and Master Red's guidance over the years. Stop looking for an exceptional Taekwondo school. This is the one for you and your family!
New England Martial Arts is an amazing place for kids to learn life lessons. Master Cooper and Master Red are caring and great coaches to help kids learn discipline, self control, respect and responsibility. Thank you Master Cooper and Master Red.
We would like to take this chance to show our biggest appreciation to Master Cooper and Master Red in NEMA! We're so blessed to know what's Martial Arts, and that our son has turned into a stronger person now. I remember 3yrs back he never put perseverance in anything he learned, as his sense of sports is rather weak, but with the encouragement from Master Cooper, he is able to make through almost all challenges! This is the best school we highly recommend!
My son began his Nema Journey at his 4 years old, now he is almost 6!during this long period training, he become strong and brave. He learned how to be a brave boy and do not give up before you try your best!
He doesn’t like the tag game or any chasing game. Master Copper never pushed him to involve in any game he doesn’t like. He respected the kid, and also will give some good advice to parents.
Thanks to Master Cooper and Master Red, a good place and professional coach.
This is my first experience with martial arts as a parent, and they do a great job with the kids! No coddling, they make it fun and structured while teaching great lessons. Very happy we found this studio and would recommend it to anyone looking to introduce fun, structured fitness to their children. My son has had a great experience and so much of the credit is to Master Cooper and Master Red
Both of our kids are students at NEMA. Our 5 year old attends the Ninja team. He is always very excited about attending every class. Highly recommend the school and the instructors.
It’s now been 4 years and change since we have joined New England Martial Arts. It has been an awesome experience to see Janelis grow in this journey. With the help and support of Master Cooper and Master Red both Janelis and I have made many strides. If you’re looking for a school where the Masters genuinely care about the instruction and their students look no further. You have found it! I know we certainly did and it was the best decision we made!! Thanks so much Master Cooper and Master Red !
My older son started NEMA 5 years ago and the younger one 1 year ago, each at age 5. We are very happy to have made this decision as the boys really love to go there. What is more important for us as parents, is that the belts are honestly earned and the kids learn to master Taekwondo and constantly progress. Master Cooper is highly skillful and also great in a way that he engages all kids during the class, and he can be tough and supportive at the same time. He really cares about each of his students. Another benefit of NEMA is the Kickboxing lessons for parents after kids class, so it is a one-stop shop for many of us here!! I highly recommend NEMA to all kids and their parents!
The best martial arts school in the world
This place is the best for martial arts. Go Master Red and Master Cooper!
Me and my son started at NEMA 2 years a go.
We love the environment and the great coaches.
We learn discipline,confidence,respect and strength.
Very happy we found this studio and Highly recommended!
Master Cooper and Master Red are the best!
Both Masters of NEMA are so good to the kids and are so patient with all students. Sitting in the parents area, we can see how both masters enjoy their job and love what they both do. I see how they enjoy teaching the kids and how all students are always so entertained with what they are learning. Every class is a new skill and it’s so nice to see how encouraging both masters are and have so much hope in their student’s growth. They are both always so proud of their student’s accomplishments and are always willing to help when a student needs help. I am so proud of how much my son has grown and learned at NEMA, each class is a new lesson that helps my kid conquer the next day, he learns so many life lessons that help him daily. And most importantly is learning how to protect himself in the real world. I am so thankful to both masters and their kindness.
Being a 30 year old person and to start out a journey in martial arts is tough. Master cooper and Master red made it so easy for me to fit in with the existing members and been guiding me in every step of the journey. It has been 3 months since i joined and even though i am sore after every session I am fit and confident in life than I ever was in mind and body.
11/8/2022 update: we have been going to this school for over 7 years and it is a perfect fit for our kids. Respect and confidence in yourself are key themes that help the kids to develop independence and this school teaches that and more.
This center is amazing. Although they have their moments, like all kids, my 5 year old twins LOVE Master Cooper and truly listen/absorb what he tells them. Master Cooper is so patient with each of the kids, regardless of attention span/skill/confidence level. I love that he begins teaching discipline, confidence in yourself and respect at such a young age. These skills are transferable to every aspect of life and this is a wonderful place to learning them.
Well, this review is about Master Cooper personally, who for fact has an internal great passion for what he does. I met him at the young age of 17, still was a kid who needed forward guidance. In school, through a group of friends he came introduced by, friends who put together an after school learning activity class, which in our case was, Capoeira! When this came to be, none of us kids in the group knew any good about martial arts, neither Capoeira, back in the days, broad access to content likewise today was not an option, so, in order to bring a cultural martial art oversees to teach to a couple of “knuckle heads ” like us, it was a challenge I’m sure. Master Cooper accepted this challenge; he used this as fuel and motivation, driving the team forward, overcoming all boundaries, soon the results started to show but even though, he was persistent in our classes, taking the team to the last mile. Months went by and the group was ready for our fist capoeira presentation, it was a total success. With this accomplished, Master Cooper introduced us to different martial art, taekwondo, the combination of the two, leveraged and enhanced performance to an unexpected higher level! Throughout this journey, many, many and many life discipline, manners and respect were learned, this certainly help me put my mind in track. Other life lessons taught by Master Cooper such as breaking self-limitation, encouragement, focus, purpose, determination and discipline are things that I cannot put in to words to describe. Nowadays everything makes sense of what this genius was accomplishing, helping others from the heart (for free), regardless of who you are, with the tool that he had in hand at the time (Martial art and Discipline) , to make a difference in other people’s life. MasterCooper, I’m very grateful for all I have learned from you, this are attributes I carry on until this day and are to be passed on to future generations. Thank you Master Cooper, I wish you and your family the best! Kind regards, Leandro Siqueira.
My sons have been attending NEMA for 11 months. Over this period of time, they become much stronger, more disciplined, confident, and focused. Master Cooper and Master Red are amazing instructors. Kids look forward to their classes every week. If you a looking for the best taekwondo school – NEMA is the one.
It is not just a taekwondo school. It is a family, a part of which we are happy to be. We entrust our kids to Master Cooper and Master Red with no doubts, as NEMA is a place where our two boys grow physically and mentally. Master Cooper is an amazing instructor who truly cares about every student. I highly recommend New England Martial Arts School.
My husband and I often say that signing our son up for classes at New England Martial Arts was one of the best things we ever did for him. At a young age, he’s learning such important life lessons. He’s been at NEMA for almost a year and in that time we’ve already seen growth in him physically and with his ability to persevere through difficult tasks. Master Cooper is a true educator, incorporating fun and humor into lessons while still having high expectations of his students. He and Master Red embody the creed that they teach their students. We highly recommend this school and the incredible instructors.
the best I've seen so far my kids are super disciplined more focused they are wonderful super recommend
I am always impressed with Master Cooper's professionalism and enthusiasm. He not only teaches the kids hard skills (kicking, punching, sparring, weapon…) but also soft skills (be focused, respectful, disciplined…). Nothing is more joyful than seeing the kids' growth. Thanks to NEMA for making the kids to be better persons!
We love to spend time there, they are like a family. They love kids and care about their mental and physical development.
Update: we moved to California last year and really struggled to find a new Taekwondo academy as good as NEMA. We joined a pretty good one but it does not come close to NEMA. My son misses Master Cooper very much, he recently said that he was the best Master ever. And I agree. If you’ve been thinking about signing up your child at NEMA, stop thinking about it and just do it. You won’t regret it!
Top notch instructors and facility! Your kids will get a great workout while learning the value of teamwork, respect, commitment and discipline! Highly recommend!
When we signed up at NEMA, my son was reluctant to take martial arts classes let alone spar and/or kick anyone. After 3+ years, he is now on the Competition Team and under the guidance of Master Cooper has been winning First Place medals in his division for sparring! Taekwondo is a sport that instills discipline and focus from within. We are so grateful for NEMA to teach the fundamentals of martial arts in an environment that is enjoyable yet teaches students the importance of accountability and dedication. My son has so much confidence in himself now and truly enjoys his time at the school. It’s amazing to watch your child grow physically and emotionally through this sport. We are excited to see what the future holds.
I love the way my daughter and every single kid are improving with every single class!!!
I know master Cooper since I was 15 years old and when my son Noah turned 6 I knew how important was to get Noah involved in martial arts with a good master. Since Noah started I have notice a difference in his atitude, his discipline on his life, not only in martial art school but in his life.
I have recommended this school to all of my friends and family.
New England Martial Arts Athletic Center is an exceptional institute for those seeking to learn martial arts, particularly Taekwondo. As a parent, I highly recommend this center for anyone seeking to enroll their child in an exercise program or self-defense training.
The center boasts highly skilled and friendly instructors who create a welcoming and supportive learning environment for students of all levels, from beginners to advanced Black Belts.
Under the guidance of Master Cooper, my daughter has received top-notch training from the best masters in the field. Master Cooper demonstrates a genuine passion for teaching kids and takes a personalized approach with each student, ensuring that their individual needs and skills are taken into account. This not only helps build a strong foundation for the students' martial arts practice, but also instills in them values such as respect, discipline, and confidence.
One of the things that sets New England Martial Arts Athletic Center apart from other martial arts schools is their commitment to keeping the training fresh and challenging. After a few months of training, students are invited to take a belt test, and based on their skills, they may be asked to join a new program that matches their energy and skill level. This approach encourages children to continue learning and progressing in their martial arts practice, and keeps them motivated and engaged.
Master Red is an outstanding teacher and manager of the school. She plays a crucial role in keeping families and children informed, motivated, and happy. Thanks to the excellent instruction and welcoming community at New England Martial Arts Athletic Center, my daughter has gained confidence, patience, humility, and pride, and has learned valuable skills that will serve her well throughout her life.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a martial arts school that offers excellent instruction, a friendly environment, and a sense of community, New England Martial Arts Athletic Center is the perfect choice.
My son Gabriel, age 6, is a child that thrives when challenged yet demands structure and discipline. From the very beginning at New England Martial Arts it was clear that instruction with Master Cooper and Master Red was precisely what he needed. The children are treated with earned respect and the instructors demand it in kind. Everything at the studio is “yes, sir”, “no, sir” and that has bled into his home life with “yes,mom” and “yes,dad” becoming a regular occurrence. The classes are not easy, Master Cooper stresses that he is developing them as citizens and in order to do so the kids work hard. We’ve only been going for about a month however my favorite class was a 40 minute class where the kids did non-stop sprints, burpees, push ups, lunges and bear crawls. It was exceedingly challenging for my son however he felt a tremendous sense of pride getting through it. Master Cooper also forces the children to consider concepts like respect, integrity and the like.
Forging a young person with pride, respect and discipline is not an easy task and even at this early juncture I can see we are on our way. I would offer my strongest recommendation for New England Martial Arts without hesitation.
Addendum 8/1/23: on a Saturday morning I was attempting to make breakfast for my kids while also on speakerphone with my boss. I asked my son Gabriel if he wanted more strawberries and he reflexively replied “yes, sir.” My boss heard this and he was obviously impressed. I thank Master Cooper and Master Red for the culture of discipline within their center that bleeds out into the lives of their students.
My daughter Lilly and I love NEMA. Both Master Cooper and Master Red are the most wonderful! Respect, compassion and hard work - that’s what is emphasized and taught. No easy roads in like - they keep it real. Kids genuinely love it and it’s a joy to see! From the very beginning you become FAMILY. Kids help each other. I can not wait to see how my baby will progress and what she’ll accomplish! Thank you for the amazing school, Madter Cooper and Master Red and thank you for being great humans! ❤️
I like Master Cooper's approach to training.
He teaches our children not only strength and endurance, but also things like respect, positive thinking and gratitude.
I see how my kids are transforming into strong, confident personalities with sense morals and values.
Thank you Master Cooper and Master Red for the hard work!!!
Great school, great programs, amazing people!!! The instructors were highly skilled and passionate about teaching Taekwondo. They created a positive and supportive environment that makes everyone feel welcomed and motivated to learn and improve.
Master Cooper and Master Red provide an excellent environment for fostering self discipline
Great location for kids as gain martial arts skills. Master Cooper is fantastic with kids easing them into what is a tough environment for kids to be in.
Amazing place, my 8 year old loves it here. He's been going to NEMA for almost 2 years, and we've seen an amazing growth in physical strength, self-confidence and discipline.
Master Red and Master Cooper are very encouraging and nurturing, such that the kids learn TaeKwonDo along with discipline, yet the environment makes it a fun and encouraging environment for them.
I liked the program's additional emphasis on building self-confidence, self-esteem, defence against bullies, getting parents more engaged with the kids' lessons and home practice, etc.
Master Cooper engages the kids in a neat balance of learning technique, along with exercising core muscles and building stamina, while introducing cool humor. I've observed a couple of kids who started really shy at first, but are now fully involved and participating in just a few sessions.
We're here for the long term, all the way to black belt for my kids.
Highly recommend this place!
My son started at NEMA three years ago as a Little Dragon and is now in the BBC working up the ranks. I have been continually impressed with Master Cooper’s instruction, and his and Master Red’s support in my son’s progress. But above all NEMA provides a supportive and disciplined environment with a strong focus on children’s development in the physical domain, as well as the mental and emotional domain. My son’s confidence and determination has grown, as has his physical capabilities. Watching the students have so much fun from the sidelines spurred me to join the action. Now that I have joined Master Red’s kickboxing class ( which is a killer and very satisfying workout) we are bonding even more through martial arts! Thanks NEMA!
We have been at NEMA for 7 months and my boys 6&8 are doing so great. Master Cooper and Master Red deliver great morals, respect, strength, training, goals etc. They have become like family very fast. These photos are from their most recent belt test.
Our son joined early this year and he loves the school, especially Master Cooper and Master Red. We joined this school after it was recommended to us by a parent.
My son has been training at NEMA for little over a year. He started martial arts training first at a different place, where he did not receive guidance and courage like from Master Cooper and Master Red. Not only martial art skills but also how to develop self confidence and develop the physical & mental strength each day at training. Now is now a different person (compared to who he was a year ago) who is mentally & physically stronger and confidence about himself thanks to all the training and guidance he received from Master Cooper and Master Red. Facility is nice and clean as well. We strongly recommend NEMA.
Excelent job Master RED and M. Cooper!
My daughter love TaeKwonDo classes.
Excellent training center!!
Master Cooper is an amazing teacher and encourages kids to reach their true potential along with fun on mat. Post Covid times, my teenage son had some challenges with self—confidence and body flexibility. It’s been 2 years and i see huge difference in my son’s attention span, self-confidence, flexibility and social skills. Master cooper intelligently focus on disciple, pushing hard to break the limitations and fun at the same time. There is lot of energy on the mat every single time! Master cooper interacts with parents’ too and provides feedback/appreciation about kids consistently.
I am very happy and I strongly recommend NEMA for parents who want to bring the best out of their kid/s. Thank you NEMA family. ❤️
Best martial arts school! NEMA is like a family. Master Cooper and Master Red are very welcoming and professional. They teach good values like discipline and respect that can be used even outside of the school. I highly recommend.
My 6 year old son has been going to NEMA for a few months now. Master Cooper keeps the instructions engaging and fun for the kids. Master Red keeps the program running smooth. The new board break events are a hit.
My girls (6 and 9 years old) love NEMA! It's not just about kicks and punches – the focus on responsibility has made them more accountable in everything they do. Master Cooper and Master Red foster a family-like gym community that goes beyond the workouts. The confidence boost my girls have gained is incredible, and the discipline they're learning is setting them up for success in life. Highly recommend this place for any parent looking for more than just a martial arts class – it's like a second home where values matter!
Master Cooper and Master Red run a wonderful taekwondo studio. The students love class, the facility is clean, and they are always responsive. We are thrilled with our experience here!
Hands down the BEST martial arts school! I’ll say that a little louder for the people in the back: the BEST martial arts school!! The staff is very responsive and compassionate. Master Cooper and Master Red make you feel like family. A comfortable place for all ages to learn and grow strong!
We have been coming to NEMA for several years. Our son enjoys the Taekwondo and Ninja programs. The main program includes Olympic taekwondo techniques, sparring, nunchucks, Bo staff, Kali sticks, board breaking, Korean vocabulary, capoeira, boxing, jiu jitsu and more! Our daughter is thriving in the Ninja program as well. The Ninja program focuses on agility and training on a ninja warrior course. The adult kickboxing is also awesome! I highly recommend New England Martial Arts!
My 7 year old son started tae kwon do at NEMA last summer, and more recently also joined their Ninjas program. His progression in terms of strength, agility, and athletic form is remarkable over the last year. He is also more confident in himself and has become very disciplined at not only tae kwon do, but also other sports and schoolwork.
Master Cooper and Master Red run a great program and facility. The gym is awesome and so are the people. Highly recommend NEMA!
My 7 year old son’s favorite place. Passionate Master Cooper makes it fun to learn and tough it out .
Overall it’s been a great experience at NEMA and I’m of my proud of my daughter’s journey so far in Master Cooper’s class. I enrolled my daughter in Martial Arts to help with certain behavioral issues that were arising at school and to support emotional regulation. Within the last 6 months a competitive spirit has bloomed, and in challenges where she would lose and then cry/breakdown, she now accepts the loss in a way that encourages her to do better and recognizes the effort she made. The class is definitely an effort on both the child and the parent, but worth it. I appreciate Master Red’s support and Master Cooper’s influence on the kids.
Our child has grown and developed wonderfully under Master Cooper. Starting from a young crazy kid white belt to progressing up the belts and getting more coordination, focus, and confidence. Definitely would recommend
My son Nicholas has been attending New England martial arts athletic center for almost a year now and he loves it, he has been developing a lot.
They are really good with kids!!!!!!
The pride he has when he walks off the floor is amazing. There’s no losing: win or learn!
Master Cooper and Master Red have been great from the beginning, this place has been amazing for our son! The discipline and confidence has helped shape him into the person we hope he can become.
Master Copper was my husband’s and sister-in-law’s coach during their teenage years, and now Master Red is my daughter’s coach. Both of them are truly the best trainers, teaching not only skills but also respect, strong morals, and strength. This is, without a doubt, the best place to train!
After five years with NEMA we could not be happier. Our son has come so far with his training and guidence.What a great school.Thank you master Cooper and Master red !!!
Chellars
This Martial Arts has though me to have discipline and have self control. It helps me a lot with my fighting skills and teaches me to NEVER GIVE UP. Master Cooper and Master Red are very good teachers and that’s why I really like this school.
New England Martial Arts Athletic Center (Marlborough) has been fantastic for my daughter. She has progressed from good to better and is now on her way to becoming the best she can be. She has learned sparring, obstacle runs, and board breaking, and Master Cooper has imparted invaluable life skills along the way. Master Cooper is excellent with kids, bringing his wealth of experience and knowledge to every lesson. I highly recommend this center for anyone looking to enrich their child's martial arts journey and personal growth.
I’d like to add that the center is well-maintained and consistently updated with new floors, making it a reliable and safe environment for kids. The staff is thoughtful and ensures that the right materials are available, making it a wonderful place for children to thrive.
New England Martial Arts has given my son an amazing experience with Taekwondo! He has learned how to have a positive attitude and respect others while having discipline. He is always excited to go to class and looks forward to learning new things! Master Cooper is a world class master with respect and discipline! The best DOJO in the New England area and parents can actually join the kids on the floor! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Both Masters Cooper and Red have showed affection and dedication to bring out the best of our daughter. She has shown tremendous progress on listening and discipline. She also grew more confident in herself, both mind and body. Highly recommend this for any parents!
I highly recommend New England Martial Arts in Marlborough. My boys (3 & 6) joined the school in January 2019. They are completely different kids where the oldest needs to learn discipline and respect while the youngest needs to improve on balance and confidence.
I absolutely love this school and all of the instructors. My boys have been improving in their goals. The 2 classes a week all year make it a normal routine and a great structured program improves the kids overall physique and confidence.
Highly recommend and always grateful.
We have been going to NEMA since September, and my son loves it. Master Cooper is extremely dedicated and passionate about teaching, and his approach is holistic. He stresses that his students should apply his lessons of discipline and respect at home as well as at school. I have seen my son become more confident and physically fit. He has improved his attention and made new friends!! Master Red is always very helpful in answering any questions we have! I highly recommend NEMA!
I would highly recommend new England martial arts! My son almost 5 years old joined a couple of weeks ago and it was the best thing. Master Cooper and master Red are the nicest people and truly are great with kids. Mr. Cooper noticed my son needed a bit of help with coordination and he has already been improving and has increased his confidence in doing more things now. He says I'm a ninja now ?
Both my children go there
They love it and I recommend it
We recently just started here and so far we love it. I do the kickboxing classes and my son is in the little dragons program. We came from another karate place where they just give the next level belt after so many weeks. I like, even though my son is four, that they still test them in order to progress.
Love master cooper and his lovely wife Master Red great people we went to try outs for two days and I can say my two boys have better manners and they love it there!!
An AMAZING martial arts school! The staff is wonderful, very responsive and compassionate. You feel like family from Day 1! A comfortable place for all ages to learn and grow strong!

Why Self-Defense Matters for Kids As parents, keeping our children safe is always a top priority. While we can’t always be by their side, we can equip them with the tools to protect themselves. Self-defense is more than just physical techniques—it’s about awareness, confidence, and the ability to make smart decisions in uncertain situations. Situational […]
One of the most common questions parents ask is, “What is the best age for my child to start martial arts?” At New England Martial Arts Athletic Center, we believe that introducing kids to martial arts at a young age can have numerous benefits.
