    (cross-posted from my Google review)…read more I started training at the Boston Martial Arts Center in early 2007 after training elsewhere. I'm glad that I did; I've enjoyed my time at BMAC immensely. Mark Davis: Mark's technical, teaching, and interpersonal skills are outstanding. He nicely manages the tricky balance between approachability and authority; he's a super-nice guy, but unquestionably the master of the dojo. Other instructional staff: The other instructors bring a nice mix of different skill sets and philosophies to their classes. It's worth noting that several members of the teaching staff have been with Mark for ten years or more; while they are all deeply experienced, they continue to train and grow under his direction. Students: The student cohort is supportive and friendly. There's a good mix of serious and casual students; some are there virtually every day, while others come a couple of times per week. Curriculum: The formal curriculum taught at BMAC could be generally described as "traditional." This traditional material is used to teach important concepts and principles that are then translated to modern contexts and applications. Students are encouraged to experiment and make their own discoveries under the guidance of the teaching staff; the "why" question reigns supreme. Rote memorization and mechanical reproduction of techniques are very much discouraged. Schedule: Great hours! Classes are held every weeknight, on Saturday mornings, and during the lunch hour on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Classes are 45 minutes long, so many students stay for multiple classes per evening. Facility: The dojo facility is adequate. The space is large enough to comfortably accommodate all but the largest class groups. The carpeted floor gives incentive to develop good rolling and falling skills. The dojo is very convenient to both the MBTA Green Line and the #66 bus. Both stop about one minute from the dojo building.

Not only does it offer highly competent instructors…read morethat teach you how to use martial arts, it teaches you the history and the practicality of using it today. I've studied different martial arts and after attending this school I'm reluctant to go anywhere else. Set in a humble area of Allston, most people pass by the school without even knowing its there. To get there you have to want to find it. The school does not attract those out to earn a collection of belts or those looking to hurt people. Instead it offers a place where you can find the balance that comes with knowing how to defend yourself. It teaches you how to use your powers for good, so to speak. The instructors know their stuff and make the classes interesting without one ever being like the other. You may even find yourself coming in when you don't have any classes. It becomes an even social atmosphere with great, friendly students and teachers. They welcome anyone that may want to come in and check out a class. If you meet Mark, you probably will end your search. He's the head instructor and can tell you why Ninjutsu is the best style for anyone hoping to better themselves or stay safe on the streets. The school is reasonably priced and gives you much more than what you pay for. They offer kid's classes as well. Visit a class and you'll be back for more.

This gym is as no frills as you can get. You're not going to get hot tubs, massages, juice bar, or any of that garbage. It's kind of like Apollo's gym that Rocky goes to train in Rocky III when he lost his edge. You come in, you sweat, you bleed, you may even swear, but you will become a striking/grappling machine. We fight as a team and train as a family. Instructors are all very knowledgable, professional, and friendly. Very supportive cast of characters.

    Unfortunately, I can no longer give stars on quality of instruction because I can't seem to get in…read morethe door to get instruction. Since writing the review, their class schedule has changed at least three times. I updated in my google calendar each time. When I first joined, I used a Groupon and transitioned from another school to here. The deal was free gloves. The guy at the desk said he'd give them to me later. I don't have my free gloves. Saturday - I set up a time to go with a friend who was interested (and terrified) in trying it out. I showed up for a class and the doors were locked. During the week - I show up in a Gi and the gi class is now a no gi class. I show up in sprawl shorts and a rash guard, and it's a gi class. I thought if I called ahead to confirm schedules, someone would be able to help me. Each person who answers the phone says, "I don't handle that...I only teach here." "Okay. Is there somewhere I can get an updated schedule or see one? The one on the website is at least a year old." They say, "uhh. I don't know." Me: "Okay. When can I call and speak with someone who might know a bit more about the class schedule? Them: "I don't know." I'm really really annoyed.

    I came on a Sunday morning women's training class for my first class. There was a group of women,…read moresome with their daughters who have been consistently coming to train for a few years. The instructor showed me around to the locker room and informed me of the directions of bowing and greetings other as I got on the mat. There were a few warmups that were a little tricky to do, but with practice it gets better. After the warmup exercises, we were paired up to do some partner drills, and then ended the class with a couple of quick matches. This was definitely a good workout and helps you understand your body awareness in relation to others around you. It's a very close contact sport and definitely good a good workout. I would definitely recommend trying it out at least once and would love to back and try one of their gi classes to see the difference.

    I started training in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu back in January 09. I'm so glad I chose Kimura…read moreBJJ as my training center. Jean Kleber is a top-notch instructor (http://www.kimurabjj.com/about/instructors/) with many years of bjj training/teaching under his "black belt" (pun intended). His accomplishments are outstanding and his teaching ability is second to none. He takes the time to teach you, follow your progress and make sure you're moving in the right direction. He gets to know each and every one of his students on a personal level. Since this is my first time training I can't comment on other training centers, but I've heard it countless times from existing/new members that they are thrilled to be training there because it is so much better than their past centers. (http://www.kimurabjj.com/testimonials/) I would highly recommend Kimura BJJ in Watertown if you want to take up Brazilian jiu-jitsu or one of the many mixed martial arts classes being offered. It's a great and fun experience. Highly recommend

    Here is a business model for all Yoga Schools…read more If you read my earlier reviews you will see my journey with CPY. The last time I did a review it wasn't very flattering (as a large, older man with a terminal illness, I need them to offer more HPY and C1 during the day, but right now they are focused on Sculpt classes). It wasn't a review of the teachers nor the schools themselves (which are wonderful), it was just a critique on needing more access to accessible classes (I think I speak for more than a few people on this) in a climate in Boston as a whole, which isn't always marketing Yoga to larger bodies, older people, or people with serious illnesses. Now, after my last review, a person from Customer Care (Alli) contacted me, and we began a conversation about my review. Admittedly, sick, tired, nauseas and in pain, I wasn't the easiest person to deal with, but to her credit, Alli remained supportive and professional with me. After a few months of discussion, I decided to engage the opportunities that CPY had to offer, and together with management of my local CPY, and with the Customer Care Team (especially Alli), I am back at CPY today. It's not easy for someone with severe chronic fatigue syndrome, an inflammation disease, and a terminal degenerative muscle disease (not to mention being over 300 pounds) to get on the mat, but working with my doctors, and working with the wonderful people at the studio, I'm back on the mat once again. I don't think it would have been possible without all of the kindness, compassion, and support of Alli, and the support from people at the studio. CPY is the perfect place to launch my battle for my health and my life, and to relaunch my yoga practice (I was in Mysore, India, way back in 2011, studying Yoga!). The studio is clean, the changing rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and supportive, the Yoga is well-designed and there is room to push hard as well as take a rest and do what you can do at this time. "Yoga meets you where you are" as Alli said to me during our conversations, and that is true. Here is where I am. Where are you? Go to this wonderful studio and find out.

    I have been really enjoying my time at CorePower!…read more Now having completed 15 classes, I can say I am totally hooked. I started going by using my Class Pass and only found myself wanting to use my credits here. Then I tried out the free week trial through CorePower directly and loved it. I didn't wanna take a rest day! I will say you need to be careful because I didn't realize I had booked an eighth class and it didn't notify me that the free trial was over. Once I attended, I was charged $35. I was reached out to by a staff member via email and then got a discounted first month of unlimited classes. I am excited to continue this journey! Here's what stands out to me: The instructors are all so friendly and cultivate such a warm, welcoming environment. There is an infectious energy in the studio that makes you want to chat with your neighbor. The studio feels spacious for the amount of people that can be packed in there. It is always so clean!! Even the mirrors. Also, the LEDs are a fun addition. The locker room, although tight at times, is maintained impeccably. Always clean and stocked with amenities. I love that they always have spray deodorant and tampons! It's hard to feel clean when taking the classes and having several stocked showers is great. I am getting stronger and feel great! Even in little ways I am seeing great process that makes me want to stick with this for a while. To be continued!
