A well deserved 5 stars. We’re in the ninja class. Paul is a phenomenal business owner and has structured a great program and community. The ninja class instructors are great!

We are so happy to be part of this great dojo for the last several years! The staff create a very welcome and fun place where our kids feel very challenged but also successful. We particularly admire that all the kids learn to be respectful, cooperative, and caring, while they are building up their self confidence. Credit goes to staff expectations and attitude they demonstrate. Our shy non-athletic daughter blossomed during her training and our son who struggled to fit into team sports has discovered the perfect combination of individual and team practice. Highly recommend!

Can't say enough good things about this place. We've been attending for about a year and my 6 year old is still having fun, but more importantly he's learning valuable life skills. The facilities are clean, the coaches and sensei's are all great, and the programs are fantastic. Well organized and easy to schedule what classes my son will attend thanks to the app and frankly the prices feel incredibly reasonable for the value we are getting. Learn self defense the right way and give this place a call.

Metrowest Academy is absolutely amazing! My son has been going since he was just under 4 years old (now 7.5 yrs.) The class was structured perfectly for that age group so that the kids were learning, getting exercise and having fun! Now in the kids class, things are more serious, but the kids are still having fun while learning! Sensei Paul is great at keeping things new and exciting and coming up with creative ways to teach! Aside from the classes, he puts together many activities for the kids and families - Parents Night Out, Family BBQ's, bring your parents on the mat, fundraising events and food drives. The staff is amazing as well, always friendly and smiling! Metrowest Academy is not just a great place to learn Jiu Jitsu, it's become a community!

My wife and I looked at a number of martial arts schools across the Metrowest area for our son (then 6 years old). Many of the facilities we visited were filled with drill sergeant styled instructors barking out orders from the front of the room to a sea of humanity. What made Metrowest Academy our choice was the way Sensei Paul was able to connect with our son and adapt his instructions to meet the understanding level of a 6 yr old in terms that apply to scenarios he may encounter in his life. Another key point that makes Metrowest Academy stand out is the atmosphere of coaching and mentoring that is encouraged amongst the more experienced students towards the more junior students. This coaching model aids the junior students by having someone who is just a bit older (maybe by a few years/grades) help them refine their basic skills. It also fosters a tighter community feeling amongst the entire student population. Is there structure? Very much so. Is there discipline? Of course. Is there any environment where children of all varieties have the opportunity to learn and grow in both Jujitsu and generally? Yes beyond any doubt. I highly recommend Metrowest Academy. It will be one of those decisions you make as a parent where you can honestly reflect back and say “I got that one right”.
