Hello, I am Ben Menzinger, owner of New England Martial Arts (NEMA). I have practiced and taught martial arts for most of my life. When I opened my own school in 2002, I wanted to teach all the useful techniques I learned over the years from Tae Kwon Do, Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, low-key environment.
Join us and let it have the life-changing effect it had on me and my students in terms of fitness, self-defense, confidence, and happiness! One of the most obvious benefits of Martial Arts is physical fitness. Martial arts training will improve a child's cardiovascular fitness, strength, balance, reflexes, agility, coordination, and flexibility.

Intro to Martial Arts. Fun, high energy classes. We teach age-appropriate: Lots of activities like running, jumping, obstacle course, animal walks, red light/green/light, etc. Strong emphasis on basic blocks, punches, and kicks. Tons of positive reinforcement: praising them for what they do right and not focusing on what they did wrong.
Although we still use forms and kicks taught in more traditional Tae Kwon Do, we are exposing our students to a variety of styles like Boxing and Muay Thai for striking and Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling for take downs and basic submissions. More than the training itself, we are interested in character-development: Self confidence, moral behavior, humility, respect, self discipline, courtesy and determination.
Our adults program offers all the things a mixed martial arts gym would offer: The cutting-edge techniques of MMA-Fighters, utilizing elements of Tae-Kwon-Do, Boxing, Muay-Thai, Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, strength and conditioning, plus self defense moves and weapons disarming techniques used in special forces, all taught in a friendly, safe, fun, educational and low key learning atmosphere.
Children 5 years or younger, and all vaccinated individuals 12 years and older, no longer have to wear masks. Children ages 6 to 11 are still required to wear masks while inside the facility, as per Mass guidelines. I have been training at New England Martial Arts with Ben since 2004. He does not teach just one specific style of self-defense he want you to become a well rounded martial artist no matter the age group.

My oh my, what a treat, this program offers a lot for each age group. Ben is very good with kids, teens and adults. Very much family oriented; free' extra, I did not expect, was a program I thought was only offered in schools, "boks for kids' So not only can you learn mixed martial arts; boks offers, 30 minute of structured play (once a week). it's a win win.
