I've been training taekwondo on and off for 15yrs, at 4 different schools. I'm now just one belt…read moreshy of black. In February 2013 I started training at Framingham Taekwondo under Master Roman de Sousa. Where do I begin? He's incredibly experienced as an athlete, an instructor, and a school owner. He is excellent at judging people's skills right off the bat, and customizing amazing, uplifting classes that challenge everyone, regardless of their level. Want to train for self defense? a fun, challenging workout? to compete? This school delivers, whatever your personal goals may be. As far as the students go, they've quickly become my friends. It's not every day you can walk into a gym or martial arts school and feel instantly welcomed. The camaraderie here is real, and everyone wants you to succeed, and you can't help but join right in, and feel the same towards everyone else. The assistant instructors are super nice, patient, and eager to help before or after class, and they are excellent at teaching the kids as well. There is plenty of parking, two training floors, changing rooms, bathroom, a waiting/viewing area, and the school is exceptionally clean at all times. I train Monday through Thursday and it's truly the highlight of my evenings. No need to look any further, check out Framingham Taekwondo!

We started my 5yr old son at DMA about 2 months ago and our daughter will start in the fall. So far…read morewe have really enjoyed being a part of the DMA studio. I love that Shihon Dan focuses as much on life lessons as he does on Karate. He does a great job talking to younger children about powerful topics such as honesty, respect & perseverance. We are new to Karate as a family but it's not something I can see us giving up any time soon. If you are looking to get your child into martial arts I highly recommend the DMA studios.

Other karate classes for young children that I've seen are mostly games, running around, with a few…read moresloppy kicks here and there. DMA teaches REAL karate from day one, and still manages to be just as fun for the kids without sacrificing learning actual self defense. Don't waste your time and money on schools that don't really teach your children much of anything. DMA is the best, hands down. You'll never find a more patient, capable, and FUN instructor than Shihan Dan!

Bay State Taekwondo is everything I was looking for and somethings I didn't know I could ask for…read more Master Alves and Master C show such compassion and interest in the children they teach Taekwondo, while also instilling discipline, respect, and self control. My daughter has been a student since she was 4 and is testing next week for her High Yellow belt. All of this makes the academy the perfect choice, but then on top of that is the flexibility and understanding that make Bay State stand out. The classes are offered five days a week at the same time each day, and students can come to any two classes per week. So, this week Monday and Wednesday were easiest for my family, but next week could be Tuesday Thursday. With little kids, this is SUCH a huge benefit. I can assure you if you are looking for a Taekwondo academy in the Wayland, Framingham, Natick area, you won't beat Baystate.
