As part of your child’s preparation for success in the future make sure to have them learn the skills needed to get the most from their education by enrolling them in a martial arts program. 

More important than the obvious physical training which enhances eye/hand coordination, balance, posture, strength and flexibility – consider what training will do for future success in life, work, relationships! We work with you to enhance and reinforce the goals, attitudes and discipline you also instill in your children. The more they hear it and the more sources they hear it from the more it will ‘stick’ with them. 

See the links below for more reasons why a martial arts education is so key to future success:

It is my great privilege to teach martial arts and it has afforded me many great opportunities in other areas. I never expected to end up in the position of Chief Instructor or to be responsible for the futurers of other students journey into excellence. 

Many see it as an ‘activity’ which is one of many that parents sign their kids up for the summer or to build a resume for a good college. It is more than an activity 

Your instructors have spent long hours studying and practicing – more than any doctor, lawyer or other ‘professional’ that has gone to college, post-graduate, medical or law school. A black belt is a master of basics – just the beginning to an understanding of ‘the way’. We are not just kicks and punches, but a way of avoiding or de-escalating and coming to understanding and solving problems calmly and with out violent actions or words.

Do not let the martial arts be an ‘activity’ – it enhances all other areas of life. Let it grow into a passion. I did not start out with a great passion. It was to lose weight, be more healthful and do it in a more interesting way than other exercise programs. Many colleges now look for a prospective students passion: a thing that has been a constant in the childs life.

So many life skills are rooted in a martial arts education. Ask me more.

The evening of Friday March 3 was our inaugural board breaking rally to benefit a fund for the purpose of providing scholarship money to students. Several of the Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academies have different activities which are to benefit our students. Our leadership team was well represented and provided great enthusiasm and support of the evening. I am humbled by the response of the town of Andover, the parents and students. The evening was a great success as we raised money which will help with various needs from test fees to registration of tournament and other related activities which students may be challenged to meet.

​​​​All five of the dojos (school, place of learning) mission is to not just teach punching and kicking but to provide an environment to teach the whole individual life skills. These skills help with bullying, stress, anxiety, weight loss, learning to reach goals and achieve excellence!!!  

                 ​​    

As you see, the kids and the parents love being a part of this empowering experience. The children learn that small skills grow to big skills – even breaking boards is easier if you have learned to punch. Look at the faces of these kids that tore through 2 boxes of boards!
