Adult Beginner Class

Our morning adult class is off to a strong start with a great group of new students. Why don’t you join us?

MONDAYS & WEDNESDAYS 9:30 – 10:30 am

Schedule Change

Because of the significant increase in new 7-13 y/o students, we found it necessary to add an additional White-Orange Belt class on Thursdays 4:30-5:30 pm. This class replaces an Orange-Blue Belt class.

Check schedule page for details.

Snow Is Coming

Some people love it. Some hate it. The fact remains that snow is coming. We do not always follow school cancellations because we all know how fickle New England weather can be (snow in the morning, bright sunshine at noon).

In case of snow during this winter, please check our website's home page announcements for dojo cancellations.

Black Belt Practices

It’s time to get back to basics and raise the bar at the same time!

Kick-a-Thon

In February, we will be hosting a Kick-A-Thon to help raise money for the Next Generation Martial Arts Scholarship Fund. Students will be asked to get pledges for every kick that they do. It’s a lot of fun and it benefits a great cause.

February Karate Camp

Why suffer through a vacation week with cabin fever? Sign you kids up for friends, games, skits, and, okay, a little bit of work, at Karate Camp. Camp runs Monday – Friday 9:00am to 3:00pm, and is limited to 20 students.

FEBRUARY 15th-19th

Jujitsu Classes

NGMA welcomes Master Steve Jiava . Master Jiava is a guest instructor and will be teaching Jiava Ryu Jujitsu to students ages 13 and above.

Jiava Ryu Jujitsu is a practical street self-defense that has been developed by Master Jiava from over 20 years of experience. Students will gain an understanding of how to control the attacker in a variety of real life situations. Students will learn how to defend against open hand attacks from the front and back and also how to defend against knives and clubs. Prepare yourself by learning in a safe class environment.

There is a separate class fee and tuition rates can be found posted at the dojo. You do not need to be a NGMA student to study with Master Jiava. You can contact Master Jiava directly at 508-904-6590 or at Jiavaryujujitsu@comcast.net

Private Lessons

Private lessons are available with Sensei Philip for Forms, Self-Defense, Weapons, and Sparring. Available for all ages & ranks. Call the Dojo or speak with Sensei Philip to make and appointment.
