We moved here not long after my youngest had begun karate at another facility. Being new to town, this program offered the opportunity to gain confidence and make friends! We used the after school program and have had lots of success there as well! We have felt as though we are part of an extended family since day one!

All the staff are fantastic at Bedford Martial Arts! They truly care about each individual child, not only from a martial arts standpoint, but also as a whole. We love the classes and all the additional events and activities they plan to keep things exciting and fun.

We could not be happier with our experiences at Bedford Martial Arts Academy! My children began taking classes there a little over a year ago, and they have loved every second of their time there. I have watched them build confidence, learn self-control, sharpen their focus, practice respect, and so much more. After witnessing the top notch programming and lessons that my children were enjoying, I also decided to start taking classes about 10 months ago. I also absolutely love taking classes here and I can't recommend them enough!

My son was 4 years when we started the class, very distracted from beginning. It’s been 5 months now and he's able to concentrate and focus much better.
Caitlin Carrigan
It's fantastic to bring my son to a place where he has fun, learns new skills, and feels empowered. Our family has had nothing but positive experiences here and we highly encourage everyone to check them out.

I was very pleased with the amazing, caring team of instructors who do an excellent job with the kids. They teach discipline and focus but there is always a lot of fun in classes too. Both my 8 and 5 year olds love their karate program and they are always looking forward to class. My son was 4 when he started and he has come a long way in a short period with following directions, listening and focus. He has made huge strides and I’m happy he has karate to help him with this. They also are always having fun challenges to help keep the kids excited and working toward different goals. We have been here since September 2021 and have had a great experience. Hope your kids love them just as much as mine do.
