  We’ve been sending our son to North Shore Martial Arts for about six months now. We were very happy at the beginning, and our satisfaction has only grown as we’ve seen meaningful changes in our son both on and off the mat. The owner and head instructor, Bill, is fantastic. He does an excellent job of balancing kindness with discipline, all in a way that’s appropriate for the kids’ ages. Our son has gained both confidence and skill in his karate, and the step-by-step approach to learning has even carried over into his schoolwork and other areas of life. We often reference karate when our son is struggling with something new, reminding him how his hard work has paid off in class—and how that same effort can translate to anything he takes on. One of the things we love most about North Shore Martial Arts is their emphasis on character and conduct. Each month, a “word of the month” is introduced, and the senseis take time during every class to discuss its meaning and how it applies to everyday life. The kids actively engage in these conversations and learn from one another, which is wonderful to see. Overall, it has been a truly great experience, and we would highly recommend North Shore Martial Arts to anyone.

  My son has taken both karate and jujitsu here. After shopping around I found them to be reasonably priced and they offered many great entry deals through the year. The space is clean with modern/ updated equipment. The instructors are excellent! They are skilled, knowledgeable and great teachers! Bill runs an impressive studio and team! The kids respect all the instructors and have a lot of fun in a safe environment!

  My two children have been attending NSMAC for over 3 years and have had a great experience. They have gained friends, grown in confidence and it has made a major contribution to there health and fitness, which is so important for their future and quality of life in the years to come.
