My experience at GMAS Karate has been great. Master Tewfick is kind and friendly toward his students and parents. I love the way he connects with his students. He instill trust, respect, patience, and obedience but most of his experience and expertise allows my son to perfect his skills and acheive higher goals. I'm so glad and fortunate to have Master Tewfick teach my son. Nine months ago my son was so timid he did not want to enter the dojo but Master Tewfick is kind in his approach and was able to get my son to come to the following class. Fast forward my son now has a orange belt and is always eager to come to class. He confident with himself and looks forward to the new challenges that await him.

Master Tewfik is the man. He has literally changed my life in 3 months. I would highly recommend for anyone on the fence about making the decision on if they should sign up or not. He will work with you and knows your limits.

Ive seen and tried out quite a few martial arts schools in greater boston as well as else where and this place is hands down the best. This is legit Kyokushin, legit karate. If you are serious about learning how to defend yourself or you are looking to learn a complete art then this is the place. Real sparring, real workouts, real weapons, the whole deal. I came here not just to learn techniques but to actually learn to use them in real combat. Theres no guessing if what you learn here will actually work ;)
