"I tried a few academies, none that I felt like I belonged there. I was skeptical at first because of past experiences, two weeks and out, back to weightlifting. Cervizzi's is magical in the sense that on your worse night emotionally, if you push yourself to get there I promise you, you will leave a better person emotionally and physically. No egos trip, everyone easy to get along with. Friends to be made while you are on a journey like no other."

-Louis Riley

"The staff at Cerviccis are top notch. They have a deep respect for the teachings and facilitate class in a way that is fun and empowering. Truly an excellent Martial Arts Academy for children and adults as well."

-Lynette De Innocentis

"I cannot say enough good things about Cervizzi's in Lynnfield. My 9 yr old son can be very shy at times and he was really worried about giving the trial class a try, but after one class his assumptions about karate totally changed. My son felt safe, respected and nurtured right away, otherwise he would not have continued. He asks every single day if its a karate day and is eager to learn all of the forms and combinations essential for moving along in his skill level"

-Amberly Wood

"Our daughter has been going for 4+ years. We saw how much she was growing that our son joined for the past 3+ years, and to make it a family bond, I joined 2 years ago. I have witnessed each of our growth. One annual tournament really stuck out to me. Our daughter entered a competition for weapons, forms, and sparring. Before the forms event, she had to speak in front of the judges (and about 75+ spectators). I felt nervous for her but the crowd didn’t impede her one bit. She remain focused and executed her form flawlessly. I share this specific moment because it is another benefit beyond classes: the ability to practice, practice, practice, execute and compete.

We highly recommend Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy."
