Boston Budo

My two kids (5 and 7) have been taking karate lessons at the Boston Budo for 2 years now. Sensei Noah is an amazing teacher! Very professional and caring at the same time - both of my kids respect and love him. What I noticed is that, apart from being a talented karate instructor, he finds learning opportunities in all situations and very often teaches kids critical life skills. My kids have grown and learned a lot and I love seeing their personalities evolving. They are both yellow belts now and very proud of their karate skills! ありがとう先生 😊

Our kids have been going for over a year (now 4.5 and almost 6), during this time their instructor has fostered a real passion for karate. From respecting the dojo, to developing self discipline, karate at Boston Budo has taught them much more than just karate skills. There is continuous assessment to determine when children are ready for their next stripe/belt colour, with clear guidance on where to improve. Being a family business run by father and son, there is a real sense of community, with children from a higher skill level helping the younger ones (with supervision from instructors). Tournaments give a chance to showcase karate skills and practice in performing in front of an audience. We love Boston Budo!

When our 3-year-old was being bullied at school, we wanted to help him feel not only safe, but confident. After a lot of worry and searching, we found Sensei Noah at Boston Budo and we are so grateful we did! Sensei Noah responded right away, welcomed us to observe classes, and showed incredible patience and care as our son worked through anxiety about starting something new. He even recommended beginning with smaller classes to help our son build confidence and ease in at his own pace. The progress has been amazing. Our son now attends the "big class" every week with excitement, confidently counts to 10 in Japanese, and is eagerly preparing for his first karate tournament. He's even volunteered to lead the class in exercises, something we never could have imagined a few months ago. Sensei Noah has a warm, fun, and developmentally thoughtful teaching style, and he truly knows how to connect with kids. We are incredibly grateful to have found Boston Budo and highly recommend it to any family looking to build confidence, resilience, and joy in their child.

An amazing place to train, grow, and feel part of a community! I can't say enough good things about Boston Budo! From the moment our family walked in, we felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. Sensei Noah and Sensei Duane are not only incredibly skilled but also patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every student’s growth. Classes are well-structured, challenging, and fun. Whether you’re a beginner or have previous experience, you’ll find the perfect balance of discipline, motivation, and personal attention here. Our daughter Olivia has gained so much confidence, strength, and focus since joining—and we have made great friends along the way. If you're looking for a place to train hard, learn valuable life skills, and be part of a positive and respectful community, this is it. Highly, highly recommend!

To begin with sensei Noah is a great mentor as my daughter's karate teacher she has been attending since July 2025 even though students of all ages are in one class they make sure each student receives the adequate strip and belt color I have seen great results with my daughter, especially in her discipline, and have seen a lot of progress in her Karate skills could not be happier with Boston Budo. It’s a family-owned business father and son, who put their time and dedication for our children to have the best outcome.
