Mac Donald Academy of Martial Arts 6 Riverside Street, Watertown, MA 02472

"My daughters and their friends did a group class with Brian and learned so much. Everyday they came so excited to show us what they learned. Brian did a great job keeping them engaged and always learning. This was such a great experience for our kids. They also did a great job with COVID protocols. I felt very safe having our kids go there all winter. It was really a great experience!!"

"This man was motivated my life. Started with him 20 years ago. Wish I still lived in the area I’d be there every night. You can’t go wrong. The macdonalds are good people. Brian and Tara are class acts. Glad to see they are still there. Ruben and Minh hope they are doing well Btw. Read the negative review. The only one. Dude you were in the wrong Cliff go away."

"My children spent years here, and enjoyed every class. Students learn how to have fun, how to defend themselves, and the values of respect for themselves and others. These are traits that the one-star reviewer below sadly lacks. What a pity he never studied here as a child. He would be a gentleman today."

"The Macdonald Academy of Martial Arts is an AMAZING place. The husband and wife owners are extremely talented, kind, patient, generous, genuine and dedicated. I have 2 daughters who have taken classes at the Macdonald Academy for approximately 1.5 years. When they began, they were terrified. Slowly but surely they have been gaining confidence and skill. They love coming to class!! The Macdonalds do a great job with each kid— it doesn’t matter if you are super athletic and coordinated or if you’re the kid who is always picked last for a team. They nurture and encourage each kid— while still holding every child to a very high standard. I highly recommend the Macdonald Academy of Martial Arts!"

"We have been attending karate classes at MacDonald’s for over two years. I am consistently impressed with the quality of the program and curriculum. My son has benefited both physically and mentally from their caring and professional approach, and I would highly recommend this program to others."
