I started training at DGA in 2016. The core group of…read morestudents here are a pleasant, caring group of people who are gladly willing to sacrifice in order to be a part of each other's progression. There's a nice mixture of younger and middle age adults who genuinely care about the well-being of their team mates/training partners. Professor Passos does an excellent job of breaking down techniques, concepts, movements & philosophy. He is a principled person who doesn't sugarcoat. "Better to be hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie"

We decided to try mixed martial arts to help our child develop self discipline, perseverance, defend himself, and also learn hard work and dedication . A lot of kids in today's society expect things to be handed to them. We wanted our child to know the joy of hard work paying off and earning your success. The growth we have seen in him from only a couple months is amazing. Instead of him saying "I can't" constantly when something is hard, he tries- and most of the time succeeds. If he does not succeed he has learned to practice and try again. His confidence has grown tremendously, he has learned it is not always about winning , but rather learning and growing. If you're on the fence of what to do for extracurriculars for your child- this is it. This is a family run school- which gives it that extremely close knit feel. We love Master Cooper, Master Mike, and Master Red! They made us feel like part of the team immediately and you can tell they have a passion for what they do.Come join the team and watch your child thrive.

Coming from the perspective of a middle school teacher, I think American Concepts is a great place…read morefor a child to develop self-discipline, their ability to concentrate, and most importantly, their self-esteem. And all of this happens in a very supportive environment. The instructors keep the classes fun and the students moving. American Concepts varies the instructors throughout the week, which allows the students to choose the teaching style that best fits their personality. Does your kid learn best through learning and practicing combinations, kata, and forms? Or would they rather learn through sparring? Whatever the kid's learning style, the instructors keep the students upbeat and the classes safe. The master instructor, Phil Pritchard, is an amazing person to work under. From a technical point of view he's extremely knowledgeable and is able to draw from multiple disciplines. When he's working with his students, he's flexible and able to alter the techniques to accommodate a student who's having troubles with a particular lesson. Just as important, Phil is simple a "good guy". The type of person you want helping to mold your kid.

These days it is tough to find a high quality martial arts school, but after much research I assure…read moreyou this the school to join. Sensei Eric's students are instilled with the traditional values of karate. His students have won numerous national championships and also won at the USA Open in Las Vegas. (by the way, everyone should check it out) The dojo is not about handing out belts, it is about hard work, quality karate techniques, earning every belt with sweat. I have known Sensei Eric's teaching for nearly 20 years and he clearly demonstrates this in his schools. Come and watch a class and you will see and feel the difference. This is a great place for all kids, teens, adults (and parents). Join together and make it a family activity.

The dojo emphasizes true sportsmanship and values community; Sensei Eric is a great mentor and teacher to his students. The karate talents and character that his students possess demonstrate his effectiveness at karate teaching and character development. Having many years of experience in Shotokan karate, I recognize that his students have great potential as karate athletes. I travel 4 hours roundtrip, from New Haven, CT to Massdojo to attend trainings. I highly recommend Massdojo if you want to become a highly skilled karate practitioner and athlete, while also building confidence and character.
