Services
We aim to help foster self esteem and self respect in every child. Children gain self confidence, physical coordination, increased attention span and a sense of individual accomplishment. Amherst Martial Arts offers 2 classes for children; Tiny Tigers for age 4 to 7 and Children's Class for ages 8 to 12.
We believe a true understanding of what our classes are like comes only from actual participation. Who knows? Perhaps in a few years, you'll be one of the senior students, welcoming beginners who were once just like you! Our incoming students vary in experience levels-some have trained in other styles while others are just starting out for the first time.
FAQ: Why sign up for three months? Answer: During that period of time, you will learn the fundamentals of tae kwon do more fully than just coming for a week or two. You will also be eligible to earn your first rank in this martial arts style. Tuition is due on the same date each month, or every 3 or 6 months, depending on payment plan.

Amherst Martial Arts is now offering virtual classes (for the duration of the lockdown), and they are excellent. Highly recommended!
Amherst Martial Arts is a wonderful and distinctive Tae Kwon Do (Korean Karate) studio. The head, or sabumnim, of the studio, or dojang, is Annie Schwarz, a 4th degree black belt, who founded Amherst Martial Arts in 1991. Annie has a terrific manner with children that is supportive and builds confidence, self-reliance, and camaraderie.
Both of my children began Tae Kwon Do here starting at age 6. The lessons were terrific for younger children, building gross motor

Amherst Martial Arts, a taekwondo school, is a really special space in Amherst. It has been operating for more than 20 years, educating countless children, as well as hosting summer camps (taekwondo, swimming, and horseback riding). It's the complete program: philosophy, strength, forms, and practical application -- self defense and sparring.
The strength of this program is not just in the excellent and serious instruction, but in the warmth of the community. The children are kind and supportive to each other, an attitude fostered by the teachers. The children and teens really form relationships

My daughter began taking Tae Kwon Do at the Amherst Martial Arts Kicks and Corrals summer camp and enjoyed it so much that she decided to start weekly lessons after school. After a year and a half, I am amazed at her progress. The instructors at Amherst Martial Arts encourage the students to build up their physical skills as well practice the tenets of Tae Kwon Do. She has gained so much strength, agility, discipline, perseverance and control.The school is a community where students can learn at their own pace and level, yet also support one another. It has been a wonderful experience!
