Noah is an extraordinary teacher, keeping our five year old not only engaged while learning but also excited to participate. Noah leads a class of discipline and focus and our son has benefited so greatly from Noahs teaching style. The kids are so proud of their weekly accomplishments and karate is a highlight of our week. Thank you Noah for making such a wonderful, positive impact on our son!

Class with Sensei Noah is absolutely a highlight of the week for our son (5) and daughter (3). Noah brings a steady and calm demeanor to his instruction, setting high expectations for focus and attention from the students - and somehow actually getting it. He understands how to engage and challenge young children in a safe and fun way, and our kids adore him. Highly recommend working with Noah if you can!

The kids are loving learning Karate! They look forward to the class every week! Noah is a great teacher and so good with kids. They are learning to listen to directions, stretch, mindful breathing and how to defend themselves.

Boston Budo is a magical place, not just a dojo. Me and my son practiced for several years here. It’s a great place to spend quality time together, learn meaningful skills and create good memories. Sensi Noah and Duane are inspiring people with extraordinary knowledge about martial arts and incredible devotion to pass it on to their students.

Im so glad I stumbled on Boston Budo online. Covid really limited the physical activities my son was able to participate in and karate has provided a huge positive outlet for him - both mentally and physically. Not only does my son participate in the class lessons, but we do private lessons as well so he can have one-on-one time. It has been awesome seeing my son push himself physically while learning about focus and control. Sensei Noah is an excellent teacher.

My kids have been doing karate lessons with Noah at Boston Budo for nearly a year, and they just love it! Noah is an amazing teacher and is so great at keeping the kids engaged, excited and learning, all while having a lot of fun. We are definitely going to keep the lessons going!

Noah is a fantastic instructor both in-person and on-line! He engages with the kids with the perfect level of fun and seriousness in ways that always bring out their best. He is both thoughtful and playful and knows when each is called for. My daughter loves his classes and as soon as each one ends, she is already excited for the next one! Her confidence level rises noticeably after every class.

I learned about Boston Budo because they teach after school programs at our local school. I participated in a weekly class with three other moms - each session was a great workout for coordination and flexibility with some cardio mixed in too! Besides keeping it fun and mixing up the lessons with footwork and kicks/punches, Noah taught us useful self defense techniques. Noah is also a good communicator and breaks things down so we get it. Highly recommend as a workout with practical use too. Cant wait to continue more of these sessions!

My son had a wonderful introduction to karate with Sensei Noah 10 years ago, as a kindergartner. We were so grateful to reconnect recently, forming a small class of teen boys, who are thriving in their work with Sensei on martial arts and lifetime fitness skills. He knows just how to blend learning with fun and discipline, at the right developmental age for his students. He is providing our group of boys with life lessons, fitness, and mentorship that will impact them throughout the future. As a parent, I’m also very grateful for Sensei’s clear, consistent communication about scheduling, class goals, payment, etc. 5 ⭐️’s!!

Boston Budo is not only a great place to learn the fundamentals of karate, but to also enjoy the learning process. I messaged Noah (who owns the dojo) wanting to do a private lesson with my gf for a kind of ~spontaneous~ date idea and I’m so glad I reached out to Boston Budo and got to meet Noah. He kept it educational and lighthearted, which was incredibly reassuring for a 4th grade purple belt, such as myself who is utterly incapable of holding a duck RESTING pose. I assure you, however, this RESTING pose was FAR from a resting position. Love this place and would highly recommend to anybody who wants to try something different or fill in the gaps on their skills!

I’ve known Noah now for a couple of years now and let me tell you, it’s been a blessing. The man just knows and understands the art of combat. From the mechanical to the mental aspect and focus, he’s very well versed and an excellent teacher. Being able to work with him on different forms of martial arts, from Karate to Boxing has been a great experience and I continue to learn every time we have sessions and workouts. Keep your mind open and body ready! I highly recommend Boston Budo!

Boston Budo, and Noah as a Sensei is an acceptional addition to our life. First time my 15 years old teenager is actually excited about sports, thought he was swimming since he was 5. I, as a member of Karate Moms group, have to admit that though weve just recently started we are learning so much about physical and psychological aspects of self defense. Noah brings so much to the class. He knows how to make it fun and challenging at the same time, he constantly is pushing you to the next level. He is very passionate about Karate and have a great understanding of human body. So I hope we will have more classes and am looking forward to introduce my 9 years old to Noah in September.

Boston Budo is a great karate place for city kids. Noah and Duane are amazing people. Duane works with little kids forever and Noah has kids of his own and understands children well. Both my boys started karate lessons with them at age 3, we only stopped during COVID, but my kids (now 4 and 5) keep nudging me to restart karate... They are offering remote lessons which can be an option for some families during this difficult times. It’s a local family business and I’m happy to support their business. They teach mindfulness and focus with karate.

Great self defense, fun, good get community, and while it can be tiring it is never too much for one to handle. Totally recommend!

Very fun and a great workout. Would recommend to anyone.

My son started learning Karate when he was 2nd grade. Frankly, I had no idea about how much he would be interested and how far he could go. Now he is going to grade 3 and we keep going and keep going. We exactly experienced the shift from onsite in school to online in zoom hybridized with Saturday onsite learning with protection. Thats why i got the chance to know how the class run. Coach Noah perfectly showed what the spirit of karate: strong in body, tough in mind and also soft in manner. He manage the class very well and inspired children. Every time when my boy finished class, he said to me he enjoyed it and looking for promotion (changing the belt color:)). We recently schedule a small pod class with friends and have on site class in the park close to our home, which is great choice during these special period. Coach Noah has perfect karate tradition in his family. His father was my sons karate coach in 2nd grade and his little lovely daughter is also learning karate. I think thats why Noah know very well how to lead and inspire kids.

My son, who is now 6, was 5 when he started taking private lessons with Sensei Noah. Lessons were first in our back yard and with the cold weather have continued on-line. My son loves it. Not only does he learn about karate and the Japanese culture, but each session he learns valuable life lessons as well. Noah talks about looking someone in the eye, being a good listener, being respectful of others and more. We are very happy to have found Boston Budo and Sensei Noah through recommendations by several friends!

We feel so lucky to have found Boston Budo. Our 7y/o son was begging for Karate lessons and began with Sensei Noah about 6 months ago, and he is hooked! It is very clear that Noah and Duane are masters of their art; but also so skilled at working with children. They are inspiring and welcoming to our son, and he has vastly benefited from being welcomed into an engaging, supportive, and structured community where he can see how others hard work has paid off and that even adults are still working and learning. Boston Budo has seamlessly handled the COVID pandemic and prioritized safety while remaining engaging and involved. Definitely recommend!

My third grader spent three years with Noah. He was a wonderful instructor who understands the secret to unlocking childrens interest in the sport. I highly recommend Noah and the Boston Budo team.

We love Boston Budo, Karate is becoming part of our life. My son started Karate from 4 years old, we were a little bit worried if he could understand the instruction but Sensei Duane and Sensei Noah are so experienced and passionately in teaching kids. Karate make my son have a better body balance as well as more concentration when doing things. Karate is a life work and we feel so lucky to start this journey from Boston Budo.

Noah is amazing patient person very understanding to the kids needs my daughter was very comfortable in his class will highly recommend him.

Sensei Noah’s private lessons have been amazing, especially this year in this pandemic world. We have done both outdoor private lessons with 3 young kids (ages 3.5-5.5) and private zoom lessons for our kindergartener. Both have been engaging, age appropriate, filled with positive messages and the right level of challenging. In addition to being a great sensei for children, Noah is also a great influence, especially for our young boys. I would highly recommend his classes!

Boston Budo is fantastic! My daughter has been taking karate lessons (both group and semi-private) with Sensei Noah at Boston Budo for over a year. Hes very professional and has a real talent for keeping even young children engaged.

My 2 boys have been with Noah at Boston Budo for almost 5 years and love it. They have developed confidence, knowledge and control that is great in all aspects of their lives. They look forward to the sessions, even during lock down where they are via zoom. It keeps them active and healthy. Thanks!

We were recommended by a friend to Boston Budo and we are so glad for our choice and feel so fortunate to have Noah as our coach! Noah’s professionalism, great communication with kids, and his enthusiasm keep impressing us. Due to the current COVID pandemic, we started virtual classes with Noah lately and both my 4-y old and I love Noah’s virtual classes, which delivers the same quality of class while saving us commute time!

Being a student of the Arts and having spent 20 years living in Japan, and training in Nihon Kempo, I can’t express strongly enough how refreshing it is to see such commitment to the Arts, the students and family, and tradition.Look no further than Boston Budo.

Karate is one of the few activities I can consistently get my daughter to participate in during this era of homeschooling without fighting about it. Noah keeps the kids engaged and learning and moving, while teaching them self- discipline. Even in an online environment, the kids seem to love it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get their kids moving and pushing themselves during this Covid-19 stay-at-home time. Definitely a good value!

Sensei Noah has been fantastic for my 6 year old son. He adapts the lesson plan to fit needs while at the same time creating a disciplined environment.My son has an autism diagnosis so we are used to 1 to 1 engagement methods. Sensei Noah is as good as any of the professionally trained support my son receives.His physical movement and focus has improved markedly since starting work with Sensei Noah.

My daughter took Martial arts at her school with Noah Lucia of Boston Budo for about 2 years and it was a wonderful experience. Initially, I was concerned that it would be too strict/difficult for my child because she has adhd and often has trouble staying on task, but Noah was very understanding did a great job of redirecting her to stay focused and do her best. My daughter is really enjoyed her classes and even won FIRST place for the open competition . Boston Budo was more than just an extracurricular activity for my daughter, it was instrumental in helping her to better focus, be disciplined, and value hard work, all while doing something she really enjoyed

Boston Budo has been great for my whole family. My kids were taking classes through their school and love it. Noah, from Boston Budo, mentioned that they have a family program on Saturdays and we gave it a shot. It is great having the chance to learn and see your kids learning as well. Boston Budo does a great job teaching kids and adults and I would recommend the family class to anyone who is looking to find ways to be active with their children and learn at the same time.

My daughter has very much enjoyed taking online karate. She looks forward to seeing Sensei Noah every time! Boston Budo is dedicated to motivating students to learn karate. We are thankful to have these lessons during this pandemic!

Noah is an incredible teacher. My daughter loves Karate because of him. She focuses and is normally easily distracted. He teaches more than just martial arts. Noah is able to command respect and instill discipline.

Boston Budo and Noah Lucia are fantastic. Since the COVID pandemic, my daughters and a neighborhood friend have been taking semi-private lessons with Noah in our backyard in Brookline on a weekly basis. He shows up on time and practices safe COVID protocols, but most importantly, he is incredibly patient and encouraging with the kids who are all 5-6 years of age. In addition to the basics of karate, they have learned to listen, be patient, develop eye contact, and generally be more confident. They also thoroughly enjoy learning karate from Noah. I have recommended Boston Budo to others and highly recommend the private/semi-private lessons with Noah.

Ive studied with Sensei Duane Lucia since the early 1980s and his son Noah since the early 2000s. Both of them are excellent instructors as well as martial artists. Their approach to teaching is all encompassing: Mind, body and spirit. My health, confidence and fighting have all improved 20 fold. There classes are fun, seeped in tradition and innovative. I can not recommend them highly enough.

Sensei Noah has a broad knowledge of Martial Arts and great appreciation for all cultures and backgrounds. He is a great teacher in the classroom. He can point out exactly what you need to do to improve right away. His class is playful and productive. He not only teaches kids (and their parents) karate, but also discipline, leadership, self-defense, confidence, communication, community, and more. Children and adults can all benefit from his class. I highly recommend Boston Budo to everyone.

Great instructors! The passion and dedication Sifu’s Duane and Noah have for their art, school and students is very admirable. Very rare to come across that much honor and respect in American schools when so many are just in it for the money and belt selling. Truly exceptional.I have been training in martial arts for 30+ years. My wife and I were visiting Boston and found out she had family she had never met living there. Our first meeting with Duane and Noah demonstrated just how humble and kind they are. They had never met me and invited me to train with them while I was in town. The class I took with them was a great physical and mental exercise. If I lived in Boston I would be honored to continue to train at their school. Highly recommended indeed!

Noah and Boston Budo are absolutely phenomenal. If you’re looking for an instructor who’ll help teach and motivate your child, Noah is the guy. Amazing karate dojo that teaches your kids respect and discipline. Highly recommend. My son has been there for 5 years and he enjoys it a lot and the progress he’s made is wonderful.

All I can say is if you are thinking of signing your kid up...do!! Noah is just so nice and he is the perfect balance of pushing the kids to grow while keeping their confidence high and giving them honest praise when due. My son is more mature and confident since karate here. And he loves it! Really worth it!!!

Noah has taught both my son and daughter karate. Hes a knowledgeable and patient teacher-- and I also appreciate both his expertise and flexibility! Highly recommend.

By partnering with Boston Budo this year, we were able to give local children the opportunity to increase their confidence, discipline, and respect. Boston Budo shares my values of gender and racial equality and taught the children far more than the physical side of martial arts. It was a solid foundation for lifelong learning and I strongly endorse this program for all. Robin A

You cant go wrong with Boston Budo! Ive been working with Sensei Noah for many years (he teaches Karate for our after-school program) and his classes are hands-down the most popular ones we offer. Kids absolutely love him and sign up for Boston Budo classes year after year.

My daughter started taking karate lessons with Boston Budo five years ago. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this program. She has not only become physically stronger but has developed a strong confidence in herself and her abilities. Sensei Noah has instilled in her respect and discipline that she has been able to apply to all other aspects of her life. Highly recommend this amazing program.

This summer I had the unique opportunity to join my daughter to participate in the summer karate lessons of the Budo Boston. Both of us had an amazing experience that included moments of laughter, endurance, challenge, excitement and joy. Between classes we found ourselves not only practicing the physical aspects of karate, but also thinking about the ideas and concepts that were discussed in class such as persistence, patience and mind and body connection. Sensei Noah is a fantastic teacher and we feel fortunate that our daughter joined his program!

Even in this new remote environment, Sensei Noah has a special way of reaching his students. We struggled to maintain engagement in other activities when we switched to remote learning, but karate with Boston Budo, even for a beginner, was the glaring exception. Sensei Noah has continued to keep his classes personal, appealing and valuable, and our son looks forward to his classes every week, from the comfort of our home. We are so grateful to continue to have this outlet during this difficult time. Thank you Boston Budo and Sensei Noah!

Sensei Noah is the best martial arts teacher my daughter has ever had!! He teaches in a way that kids pick it up quickly. Hes also a really nice person and the parents love him as well! My daughter looks forward all week to her Saturday class!! Sign up for his class!

My 6-year old son started karate at Runkle’s after school program. He really enjoyed the experience and we were really disappointed when the lockdown forced classes to end. Then we found out about the virtual classes and he has been doing at least 2 classes per week, sometimes more since then. Sensei Noah does a really good job of keeping the students’ attention/focus and working with them individually. My son is learning the karate moves but more importantly he is learning about values like hard work, practice, and respect. And it’s bleeding into everything else that interests him. We are very pleased with the program!!

Sensei Noah has been teaching my son, David, at Coolidge Corner DASEP for the past 3 years - and he is excellent. He gives structure and friendship to the kids at the same time and the kids love the classes.The karate competitions at Boston Budo are always encouraging to the kids and help them want to reach new heights. The staff is professional and warm.

My son really enjoys the lessons. Sensei Noah is very passionate and knowledgeable in his teachings. Great place for kids to learn self-discipline/control and build self-confidence.

I work with Noah at Coolidge Corner School, in Brookline. Its hard not to notice the amount of joy, discipline and respect, that kids have from his classes. I m fortunate to work with people like Noah, who have a true impact on the youth and their families!

Tradition in a Modern SettingMy son has been a student of Duane-sensei and Noah-sensei for several years and in several settings: at Hill House (including the seasonal tournaments) and at the Brookline Teen Center, in his after-school program, and now online. (The online option has been a lifesaver during lock-down, and my son loves it.) These two gentlemen – who balance their commanding classroom presences with congenial personalities and have been so generous with their time and resources – have engendered more discipline and decorum from this kid than even I can. They bring decades of knowledge of, practice in, and respect for Asian cultural traditions and practices. Taking classes with them is an invaluable opportunity for physical exercise, personal growth, confidence-building, and fun. Of all the activities in which my son participates – music lessons, other sport programs, etc. – this has been the longest-lasting and most worthwhile. We recommend it without reservation. (Note: Other prominent local dojos are not kid-friendly. This is the place to be.)

Sensei Noah has been amazing. My son O, 7 yrs old, started taking classes with Sensei Noah in an after school program. When covid happened, we went strictly virtual with one on one lessons over zoom. They have been great. Sensei Noah brings in not only the physical elements of his karate instruction, but also the mental self discipline and self awareness that is part of his craft. I highly recommend Boston Budo!

Sensei Noah is a great teacher! My kids have trained with him for a few years now. They have learned a lot and they really enjoy the classes.

My daughter has been a student of Sensei Noah since she was 10 years old; she is now almost 15! She loves karate, she trust the Sensei and sees him as a teacher and mentor.Sensei Noah is very hard working, nice, trustable, always looking forward to give more for who wants more, but never giving up on the ones that are less keen to go further. He is a very good teacher!As a family we feel lucky that our daughter had the fortune to meet Sensei Noah as her karate teacher.

The Lucia family has changed my daughters life. Made her more confident, strong, and independent. I highly recommend this Dojo for boys and girls.

Both my father and I have been studying with Sensei Duane for most of my life and in my 30’s I’m more motivated now than ever. Our dojo has a diverse pedigree of teachers. Al Ford was a painter, Duane Lucia studied science and psychology and his son Noah was a college athlete. That said, we cover a lot. I recommend Boston Budo to anyone, regardless of age or experience level.

My son took karate with Sensei Noah Lucia at Boston Budo for five years. It was an amazing experience for him. Not only did he learn karate techniques and self control, but he also developed self confidence. He really benefited from Sensei Noahs instruction! I would highly recommend Boston Budo for children, adults and / or families looking for a school of karate.

I was introduced to martial arts long ago by Sensei Duane. Through Karate with Duane I was taught self defense, patience, discipline, restraint, respect for myself and others, confidence and had a whole lot of fun. I have recently picked up BJJ as a result of wanting the continue the same kind of experience I had with Boston Budo back in the day. I highly recommend Boston Budo to anyone wishing to begin/continue their martial arts journey. The Lucia family is a Boston staple and have an amazing ability to communicate and engage their students.

I took classes from Duane for over a year and they were always a great workout to say the least and a great confidence builder. The guys at the dojo were also great like Andy, Doug, Steven.

My son started taking karate lessons through Boston Budo at his elementary school 5 years ago, and I cannot say enough positive things about this program. Sensei Noah is a fantastic teacher who commands attention while making it fun for the kids. Not only does he teach martial arts, but he also teaches respect, discipline, and hard work, which my son has extended to other areas of his life. My son has learned a lot and continues to grow while training at Boston Budo.Because of the positive experience that my son has had, his little sister asked to join a class. She had a great first class and she is looking forward to many more!

Boston Budo is the best! 😀I feel especially qualified to write this review as my daughter has taken both group classes and private lessons with both Sensei Noah Lucia and his father, Sensei Duane Lucia. Both instructors combine a healthy degree of authority and discipline with palpable kindness and personalized attention. My daughter has enjoyed their classes for over six years, and I have even attended some of the Saturday Family classes with her, which are great fun!

I love Sensei Noahs classes, because not only do they teach me about physical skills, but I also learn more about how to think about different aspects in life.

I must say, this martial arts studio is one of the only places in the area that carries the traditional values of old school karate. As a martial artist for about 25 years (I’m 42) and a senior acupuncturist, I’ve been around the “kung fu” world a long time. I’ve been to a lot of dojos. The best thing about the Boston Budo teachers, Sensei Duane and Noah, is that they met me at my level and did not withhold the “gems” of their teaching. Easier said than done once they put me through rounds! It opened my body, corrected my breathing mechanics and made new connections to things I was already practicing, but improved them. Now Tim to practice it! I also observed Sensei Noah taking his time with a younger student. He has a gift of unlocking talent, you can see it and personally experience it.

Noah is the best teacher I have ever had. He gave me tools and life lessons I still remember years later and he made me so much more confident about myself.

My daughter Brielle is studying karate with Noah Lucia at Coolidge Corner school/DESAP in Brookline. It is her third year and she is very happy because she learns so much more than just martial arts. Noah teaches with a lot of humor, care, and respect for the kids. He is like a life coach when he explains the philosophy of karate and situations in life. The way he see things is very holistic so he motivates the kids to be mentally strong, eating healthy and be positive. He is a great teacher!

Our 13 years old daughter has been Noah Lucias student for the past three years now. Noah Lucia is the best Marshal Arts and Life skills teacher that you could ask for your child. Our daughter became stronger, much more self confident and responsible. His calsses are not only about the physical activity, but also about manners, discpline, hard work and responsibility. Expect your child to work hard and be nourished in Noahs classes with a lot of personal atention. Noahs entire family is involved as he also grew up in his fahers dojo and it gives the students this feeling of devotion and coziness of a family. It is a true privilege to have Noah as a teacher.

A staple in the Boston and Brookline communities for as long as I can remember. Not only did Duane teach me Karate fifteen years ago, Noah was also my hockey coach growing up.

Incredible teachers and instructors, most classes end up feeling almost one-on-one due to the precision and care of how corrections are made and training is conducted. I would put Sensei Duane and Sensei Noah up against any other school around in terms of quality. They have devoted a significant chunk of their lives around perfecting this art, and it shows.Not to mention, there are great benefits outside of class from training as well. As the old saying goes, to train the mind one must train the body as well. My grandmother started me out in kindergarten, to force me to learn concentration and discipline. Your results may vary, but more than twenty years later as a black belt I can confidently say this has helped shape who I am today. From undergrad, to grad school, to my professional career, and even starting a company, the lessons learned from Sanchin have been applicable throughout my life.

My son and I have been participating in class for the past year. We enjoy the class and we have learned many valuable things from it.Sensei Duane and Sensei Noah are experts. They share their knowledge and wisdom in a supportive learning environment that is both challenging and fun.I highly recommend this class for kids and adults.

Boston Budo is a Karate dojo which draws from a deep well of Martial Arts philosophy and practice. I studied with Sensai Duane for 5 years as a child, and then with him and Sensai Noah for several more years as an adult. To this day I practice what I learned in this dojo, and the most valuable lessons of all are contained in the simplest of gestures.Cannot recommend highly enough.

Both my brother and I took classes with Sensei Duane at Hill House when we were younger. I only made it to yellow belt but I still remember some of Sanchin! I’ll send my little one when she’s old enough.

I’ve studied Sanchin Martial Arts under Sensei Duane Lucia for 30 years. When I moved out of the area, I checked-out several other dojos & styles (traditional Uechi Ryu, Aikido, Ketsugo Jujitsu, Arnis). In my travels, a couple of things that I already knew were reinforced: Sensei Duane is widely known and well-respected across genres in the world of martial arts (2nd to none); Boston Budo’s style, Sensei Duane, and his son, Sensei Noah are the Gold Standard in martial arts training. Nothing comes close. If you have the opportunity to train with them, do so!

We LOVE Boston Budo and the Lucia family who leads it.We have been with Boston Budo for the past 3+ years. My daughter (10) started at the Brookline public school system, my son (8) joined couple of years ago and this past year our youngest daughter (just turned 5) joined.They all wake up with joy on Saturdays, get dressed (older ties younger’s belt) and head to the Class. Sensei Noah and Sensei Dwain have been teaching our kids over the past 3 years not only karate but how to focus, self confidence, and many other life skills. All kids know a little Japanese now and various features of the Japanese culture that are taught alongside karate. We happily attend the tournaments the Budo organizes twice a year, and learn how much our kids have grown.Thank you for everything you do for our family Noah and Dwain!

Boston Budo karate is much more than a sport for my kids. Sensei Noah helps them work on confidence, public speaking, eye contact, time management and leadership skills. He teaches culture, respect, and of course karate. He is so patient but also challenge my kids to keep improving.My kids started karate in 2018 with private lessons at our apartment. Sensei Noah had no problem making our tiny living room into a temporary dojo. It was the perfect way to get started. When they transitioned from private lessons to the Saturday family class they were feeling confident and competent and ready to be a part of the Boston Budo community.We decided to try karate after getting a strong recommendation from a well known psychiatrist guest speaker at my work moms group who said that karate (and particularly with a GOOD sensei/ dojo) is a great sport that has added side benefits like improved executive function skills. I’m very thankful for his good advice and that we found an amazing sensei who proved him right.

I have been studying with Noah’s father Duane for many years. Duane really cares about his students he is not in it for the money his dedication to Marshal Arts is constant.

Boston Budo is legit. Sensei Lucia (both father and son) are able to make learning Uechi Ryu Karate (and exposing students to other disciplines) both fun and challenging. This is no Karate mill - churning out undisciplined pupils. You will be exposed to the Japanese culture, language and the hidden whys of this practice. I brought my 9-year-old to a family class to build his confidence and I got inspired to pursue my own practice. Boston Bodo will toughen you up but it will also sharpen your senses and perceptions. Both Duane and Noah are able to explain their understanding of Karate and human nature in a way that is very accessible for little ones and adults alike. I would recommend Boston Budo to anyone that is open to learning. For those who are not, both Senseis are adept in working with pupils without allowing poor behavior. You will walk out of a Boston Budo class exhausted but also with some additional knowledge that will help you improve your practice.

I haven’t taken a karate class with these guys but I know the fantastic work they do at the Lawrence School in Brookline. I used to work there.

Ive worked with Noah for years and now my daughter goes to Kiddie Karate with Duane. True professionals.

No bs here
