Both of my children (5 & 8) as well as myself attend Focus Martial Arts in the Focus Kids, Youth and Adult programs respectively, and love everything this school has to offer. As a parent I love the integration of life skills, structure and discipline the school provides, and every one there is focused on helping their students succeed. Recently my daughter (8) attended the Focus Summer Camp and loved every moment of every day she had there for the week of her attendance. Even during camp the children are learning life long lessons that carry through into every aspect of their daily lives. I proudly suggest this school to everyone even remotely interested in the Martial Arts, and hope to continue to be a member for the indefinite future.

My 8 year old son attends Focus and has been for years when he started in the kids program. Not only is the dojo a welcoming space for families, it is clean, in a great location and has great bathrooms and event rooms for birthday parties and special events like Fathers Day etc. the instructors are patient and great with students of all ages. The way they integrate life skills into weekly practice helps my son understand that martial arts teaches way more than strikes and kicks. He practices at home because he wants to make the instructors proud when he attends class! I have friends whose kids attend other dojos and programs but I would never switch from Focus! They are like family.

Shihan Marco has established a great school and a wonderful community of karate kids. Our children have learned a lot under his leadership.

We have been coming to Focus Martial Arts for over two years. Every instructor has been incredibly caring and dedicated to teaching. We started at age 4 with focus kids and my daughter has now earned her gold belt. More importantly she has gained many important life skills. This is more than just another sport or club, it’s a community! Shihan Marco is dedicated to giving back to the community and you’ll often see him at community events, offering parents’ nights out and hosting donation drives for those in need. We love Focus Martial Arts and hope to continue here for many more years!

We love the Focus Kids program! Shihan Marco is so great with the kids – always patient and gets the kids excited to participate. My 4 yr old loves going to class 3x a week and is always so excited to receive his new patch or stripe on his belt. He especially loves seeing his friend Sensei Mila in class on Thursday/Sat! I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants a structured martial arts program for their younger kids.

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value
I enrolled my daughter at focus martial arts when she was three years old. I was immediately in awe of the relationship building all the teachers there do to connect with their students and build rapport. My daughter has been taking classes here for over two years now and I can honestly say that the focused kids classes teaches an amazing set of skills. Whether it is communicating effectively, showing leadership/sportsmanship, learning respect and manners, demonstrating accountability and confidence-building, etc. With so many options for activities for kids that are available I am so lucky to have found focus martial arts and to enroll my daughter there. I truly feel she (and us as her parents) are part of the Focus community. It is also impressive to see how current older students are able to take on leadership roles and responsibilities that teacher a great set of life skills. So honored to be a part of the Focus family.

Focus Martial Arts and Shihan Marco earned and deserve the 5 star ratings that have been posted for them. Our son has been a member for nearly 5 years and we’ve watched him grow and come so far. He’s now a brown/black belt and takes part in their leadership program. He truly looks forward to each and every class and values what is learned – taking and translating his knowledge off the mat and into the classroom, life, and home. Shihan Marco really knows each of his students and cares deeply for the kids in his dojo. Having a mentor like him and the other sensei’s has been priceless for our son, and we are so grateful to be a part of this community.
Mike Manna
Our 12 year old daughter has been going here since she was 7, now a black belt comfortable teaching adults! Her self confidence and leadership all due to what she has learned here! Highly recommend!

Focus Martial arts is not just a school. It’s such an inspiring and incredible community. It has given me confidence, balance and skills, not only in self defense but in every day life.
I will recommend to anyone, at any age.
Alyssa Kennedy Disario
Can’t say enough wonderful things about Focus Martial Arts! Hands down the best extra curricular for our preschooler. Shihan is AMAZING with both the kids and their parents!
Arafat Jahan
Love this school! Both my kids are enjoying their participation there. Awesome instructor and my kids love him. Well structured and highly disciplined programs. Strongly recommend this school.
Emily Williams
This was the best party ever. My 6 year old and friends had a great time, were fully engaged in all the games and activities. The decorations, attention to detail and excellent customer service. I had no idea what to expect and was completely blown away by Shihan Marco and his team. Thank you for such an incredible day!! I’d give more than five stars if I could.
Katty Sousa
Great place to learn martial arts. My kids had their birthday party there and it was a wonderful experience!! The kids had a blast!! Big Thanks yo the team!
Laura Ramos-Brandao
My son had his 5th birthday party here and loved it. It was stress free for me and fun for the kids. They gave all the guests and my son a free week trial and he just completed it. He loved it so much that we have officially enrolled in classes and he is beyond excited.
Meire Rodrigues
The best art Marcial school ever!
I’m so happy and glad that my son it’s in very good hands! This a family school!
Mirka Wisniewski
I really love the Focus Martial Arts program. My son has been going there for several months and we can see so many positive changes. He is more confident and loves going to karate. The Sensei is amazing with the kids. Having 15+ 4-6 year olds can be a challenge to anyone, but this guy knows how to keep the kids focused. As an added bonus, he makes the class fun for parents to watch. I would definitely recommend Focus Martial Arts to anyone interested in their child learning karate, respect and having fun.
Vincent Zannino
Focus Martial Arts is a great place for the whole family to really learn martial arts. Great teaching from Shihan Marco and the rest of the staff. Huge training space . My wife, son and myself train there and we couldn’t be happier there.
Tina Everberg Caamaño
We had our daughter’s birthday party here and it was fantastic! Organized, professional and the kids had a blast. They have more than enough help on hand to assure the kids are safe while enjoying themselves. You pick out a theme and they take care of the decorations, cake/food and even prepare the digital invitation. In addition, our daughter attended a couple of the Saturday afternoon activities and had a great time. Thanks so much!
Chelsea Gordon Orben
I would highly recommend Focus Martial Arts my son Sean who is on the autism spectrum just came out of a class and he is more than ecstatic to come back. The teacher was very nice and engaging and took his time explaining to my son the multiple positions and moves during his one on one session. He was so encouraging and motivating to my son to keep going and to keep Focus during the class.
Graham Honda
Our daughter, six, has been at student of Shihan’s for over a year. She’s now a yellow belt and excited to strive for the orange belt.
Shihan is terrific- he’s kind but firm with a great sense of humor that keeps even the most easily distracted kids engaged.
Karate and Shihan have taught our daughter more than we hoped for- focus, patience, self respect, confidence, persistence, and much more.
Kim Quigley
We literally left my daughters birthday party 5 minutes ago and I had to come write a review! They did absolutely fabulous at my daughters birthday party ! They knew all the kids names within minutes and put on great games ! We had so much fun ! Every kid said they couldn’t wait to go back ! Thank you for a fabulous neon dodge ball party! I highly recommend them!
Kristy Woznicki
I’m very happy with the progress my son has made at Focus Martial Arts! His confidence has improved and his skills are so much sharper. Shihan Marco is highly respected by his students and they put in the work and focus he demands while still having plenty of fun!
Thanks so much Shihan!

When summer hits, the routines of school days fade, and many families face the question: “Should we take a break from martial arts until the fall?” While the idea of a break might sound appealing, continuing martial arts training through the summer can be one of the best decisions you make for your child’s development.
