We’ve had a fantastic experience at New England Martial Arts! Master Cooper is absolutely great with the students, striking the perfect balance of discipline and encouragement. Most importantly, my kids are loving it. Highly recommend this school to any family in Marlborough!
Over the past two years, my son has been training at New England Martial Arts in Marlborough, MA, and the transformation has been truly impressive. Under the expert guidance of Master Cooper, he has grown not only in his taekwondo skills but also in important life values such as discipline, respect, confidence, and responsibility. Master Cooper has an exceptional ability to connect with students and make every class both engaging and educational. His encouragement and positive teaching style continuously motivate the students to challenge themselves and do their best. We are extremely grateful for the supportive environment at NEMA and highly recommend their kids’ martial arts program to any parent looking to help their child grow both physically and mentally.
UPDATE – Our son has been at NEMA for about a year, and the transformation in his confidence has been incredible. A year ago he was very shy and anxious about speaking or performing in front of others, often ending in tears. Now he raises his hand in class, speaks confidently, and even sees losing as a chance to learn. We are so grateful we decided to try that first class, it has made such a meaningful difference in our son’s confidence and growth. PREVIOUS: I would recommend NEMA to all parents. Our son used to play soccer on the weekends and did not really gain anything out of it except maybe exercise for an hour. 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.
I joined NEMA as an adult student about six months ago and I cannot recommend this school enough. Masters Cooper and Red have created an environment where there is always something new to learn or a new way to challenge yourself. The classes are always a great workout and if you want to participate in sparring you will definitely push yourself past your comfort zone (but you’ll be glad you did so). The school itself is welcoming and from day one I felt like I was a member of the team. If you are in the area and are interested in practicing martial arts, learning self defense, or just want to try a new way to exercise while meeting some great people then NEMA is absolutely worth checking out.
I highly recommend NEMA to all parents seeking martial arts training for their children and positive physical development. My 5y son, Ahaan has been attending the New England Martial Arts Athletic Center for a few months, and he absolutely loves it. He has made great progress during this time. Master Cooper is amazing and is great with kids!
