I’m so glad I got my 8yr old son in Mastery Martial Arts, my son started in may of 2021 he hasn’t been there long but in a short time he is learning so much. He has so much motivation and loves being there. The people there make him feel like he is part of something and being a mom that makes me feel great . So if you or any one you know was thinking about joining it will be worth it . Thank you Mastery Martial Arts for making me as a parent feel good about my son being part of the team.

Mastery Martial Arts has been a game changer for my son. He was always very shy and reserved. Mastery has given him the courage and strength to build confidence. He listens so much better and Mr. Pezzillo has been the best role model. Thank you!

We chose Mastery to host our child’s birthday and the teachers/team at Mastery did an amazing job accommodating us through party planning to hands-on execution. Namely, they provided a safe environment, made an effort to learn each child’s name to get everyone involved, and created memorable moments for the birthday boy!

My son started here when he was just 3. Alex is now almost 5. He enjoys the classes and looks forward to them. Like all boys his age, he is very energetic and curious. The classes help him to focus and listen. The sensei and the staff are all very professional and kind. When Alex gets a little too rambunctious he is disciplined compassionately and he listens! The room is constantly cleaned and sanitized before and after each session. Children are spaced out safely. Wonderful place and I plan on enrolling Alex in the future.

I cant speak highly enough about Mastery Martial Arts. The owner/employees of Mastery are Professional, kind, understanding, fun, enthusiastic, and loving. My child has been attending Mastery for 2.5 years and he loves going each and every week. This business deserves much MORE than a 5 star rating.

My 6-year-old son has been going to Mastery EG for 3 months now, and we absolutely love it! Theres so much positive energy from the staff the minute you walk through the door, that no matter what kind of day were having, we always leave feeling happy. The instructors are true professionals. I am always so amazed by their level of enthusiasm, which gets the kids excited and engaged. Mastery teaches young kids all about listening, self control and respect, and since my ADHD son started attending classes, his behavior at home and at school has really improved. Mastery is an outlet for him to exert all his energy in a safe, structured way while building up his self-esteem.

Mastery Martial Arts and Mr. Pezzillo are fantastic! My boys and I attended for 5 years and finally made our decided black belts recently. Covid has made it a bit harder for everyone, but Mastery has done everything they possibly can to keep everyone safe while still creating a fun and rewarding environment!

My 9 year old granddaughter has been with Mastery Martial Arts since last year. I have been involved both as a coach & parent for my 2 adult kids in several sports all throughout their school years. This is by far THE BEST program I’ve ever been involved with!!! Not only do they learn the Martial Arts, they also learn the most important “real life” lessons that will stay with them!! Respect of self, others & community, confidence, impeccable manners, responsibility, short and long term goal setting, strong focus on school achievements, chores, sportsmanship, accountability and SO much more!! The students & their families, along with the instructors & staff are truly a “family” that share and cheer on every students achievements!! Students “EARN” their way through the program (not everyone gets a “trophy”)!! By far, THE BEST investment in both excellent physical conditioning, the Martial Arts & in giving them the tools and lessons for a successful future, whatever path they may take in life!! I can’t say enough about how this program, the INCREDIBLE Teachers & awesome Staff/Counselors enrich your child & family!! In the 2 week trial for only $25, you will see how valuable this program is on SO many levels!!with Mr. Michael Pezzillo Mr. Paul Parks III Mr. Ron Russo Mr. Anthony Pezzillo Susan Ricchiuti Lyndsay Gardner Nathaniel Petrarca

We joined in April for our three year old. We absolutely love it here! The environment is perfect for us, the schedule is flexible, the teachers are awesome, and the staff is extremely helpful. I honestly dont have one bad thing to say about Mastery. Its a great class to help your child listen, learn how important respect and communication are, and gain self confidence. Thank you, Mastery!

My child (4) joined mastery EG few months ago and weve had a great experience. The staff is great with the kids and Ive noticed a real difference in my child.

We struggled to find a sport or activity in which our 6 and 7 year old sons were both engaged, and felt successful in. We decided to join Mastery because it was an individual sport, and for the discipline and team atmosphere. The support system throughout the entire facility is amazing! Both our boys love Mr. Pezzillo and Miss Chanel! They want to practice at home, and cannot wait to go to karate. My oldest finally feels proud of himself. We cannot get over how much growth they have shown in such a short amount of time. Joining Mastery was the best decision we have made for our children!

Ryan has been taking karate for many years and he loves it. He just got his apprentice blue belt and cant wait to go back each week. Also, Mr. Pezzillo is a fantastic role model, reminding Ryan and all of the kids that black belts are kind, considerate and respectful. We couldnt be happier with the experience we have had with Mastery East Greenwich.

Over the past year I have seen such a positive change in my son, his report cards have come home better, he is more respectful, he has definitely become more of a leader! We loved the change so much that we put his little brother in the tiny tigers program for 3 and 4 year olds, and we are starting to see the same changes. This place is worth more than the 5 stars I can give it!

Mastery Martial Arts has been such a blessing for our son. He has taken learned so much inside and outside of the studio. He has been part of the leadership program from when he started almost 5 years ago. Not just learning what is taught in class but putting his teachings in life. I would recommend this program to everyone I see 100%. We can’t wait to see how our son become an adult and use this knowledge in life.

Mastery EG was the only option I would consider for my son who suffers from anxiety. The entire staff worked with us to gradually get him to the point where he would step on the mat for his first class. They pull out all of the positives for him in such a personal way and he is thriving now, loving each class. If not for the environment and amazing staff, my son would have never made it to his first class...I cant thank Mastery enough!!

I can’t say enough about Mastery Martial Arts East Greenwich! They have helped teach real life skills to my son. I have seen him grow tremendously not only in physical strength and endurance but also in mind and spirit. He demonstrates so much more self control and courtesy now then before his studies at Mastery. Mr. Pezzillo is the absolute best instructor and role model - thank you for all you do for Jonathan!

Absolutely AMAZING! Our daughter has been with Mr. Pezzillo in East Greenwich for almost 2 years now, and we are beyond impressed! Highly recommend for all children.Martial Arts is way more than just learning forms, kicks, ect. It develops your child in so many positive ways- mentally and physically. Our daughter is on her way to become a black belt, and enjoys every class immensely!

My son is 7 and he loves going to class. He has been going for around 4 months and loves every minute of it.The instructors are all great and focus on the students overall mental and physical growth and not just the martial arts. Mr. Pezzillo is an excellent instructor for both kids and adults and his energy is second to none, He takes great care in welcoming all new students and making them feel comfortable. My sons behavior has improved, he is always asking to help out at home now and being called sir is an added bonus :)Thanks to all the instructors at Mastery East Greenwich for all your hard work and dedication.Ray

All my children attend Mastery Martial Arts East Greenwich with outstanding results. Each child has grown in confidence and discipline as well as physical strength. Mr. Pezzillo is a talented instructor skilled in capturing a child’s attention and creating an atmosphere of learning that feels like play. By the end of class, kids don’t want to leave. Ms. Ricchiuti is always helpful answering questions, keeping us organized and guiding us through the process. The Perry family is proud to be members of Mastery MA East Greenwich.

My husband, myself and our two boys are all students here at Mastery Martial Arts E.G. I cannot express enough what a positive and eye opening experience this has been for our family. We have seen so many changes in our lil guys over the past eight weeks since we started. Their focus, respect and confidence have all improved in just the short amount of time we have been attending classes. The classes are a blast and all of us students work together as a team right along with the instructors. The instructors are fun, energetic, encouraging, very knowledgeable and very thorough with instructions. We are so looking forward to continuing our journey to earn our black belts!! I honestly cannot say enough good things about Mastery! They have been absolutely wonderful to us. From the moment we walked in the Mastery doors, we have been welcomed and treated with the utmost respect. My only regret is not signing us up sooner!!

Mastery Martial Arts has provided a wonderful learning experience for our son. By incorporating meaningful life lessons and experiences into the martial arts curriculum associated with each 8-week belt testing cycle, he has grown in body, mind, and spirit. We love the membership-style schedule that allows us the flexibility to attend classes on any one or more days, 6 days a week. We have all made great life-long friends. Best of all is the mentoring he receives from chief instructor, Mr. Michael Pezzillo and the care and coordination we all get from Ms Susan Ricchiuti!

My 9 year old son Zane has been with Mastery Martial Arts, East Greenwich since June of 2013. When he first started out, he was out of shape and most of all lacked self confidence and discipline. I have noticed so many changes in him over the course of the year. His endurance is up, he is able to complete tasks that are handed to him in a timely fashion, his grades have come up in school, he has more confidence in himself, and he is more respectful to himself as well as his elders. Most of all, I have seen him grow into a leader rather than a follower. Thank you Mastery Martial Arts, Mr. P, Ms. Ricchuitti, and all of the staff. You have all made my families experience a great one!!!!

Very good for kids and people who want to workout, I wouldnt say its the best if you want to learn hand-strikes and kicks right off that bat you have to get to a camo belt to be able to actually do things you have to be very dedicated to this school, aside from that its great.

Mastery has helped my son in more ways than I can count. Each life skill (discipline, self esteem, honestly, respect, belief, communication) taught has stayed with him and Mastery continues build on them continuously. He is not only stronger physically, which he definitely is, but stronger mentally and emotionally as well. The impact Mr. Pezzillo has had is truly immeasurable and surpassed our expectations. My son continues to grow and thrive at Mastery. This doesn’t even begin to mention the support I have received from both Mr. Pezzillo and Mrs. Ricchiuti reinforce these life skills and development.

My 2 sons, ages 5 and 10, have been going to Mastery Martial Arts East Greenwich for 1 1/2 years. My oldest son has ADHD. I was concerned he wouldnt keep up with the other kids, wouldnt remember the forms, and would soon get tired of yet another extra curricular activity.With the consistent encouragement and support of Michael Pezzillo, the chief instructor, my oldest is now a candidate for black belt. Mr.Pezzillo has a gentle yet strong personality which enables him to motivate the kids to want to achieve their best in all aspects of their life. My son is now fitter, stronger and more confident.The facility is always clean and welcoming. The families who attend Mastery are warm and friendly. We have all made friends here. I encourage you to go see the facility, hear about the program and give Mastery Martial Arts East Greenwich a try!

I love taking my 5 year old son here for the Little Dragons class every week and it is the only thing I can get my son to do without a fight. Mr. Pezzillo is amazing with all of the little kids in the class and they all respect him. I love how every month the kids learn and practice a life skill while making it fun. The kids also get acknowledged for doing good in school and at home. Which I think is awesome. Mr. Pezzillo and Ms. Ricchiuti make a great team and are so helpful with anything I need or any questions I have. Couldnt be happier with choosing to take my son here and what a difference I see in him from starting in August till now!

My son Caiden is 6 and has been a student at Mastery Martial Arts in East Greenwich RI for almost 1 year now. I cant begin to praise this studio enough. Mr. Michael Pezzillo and Ms. Susan Richhiuti are truly Amazing!!!!! The positive energy alone that seeps out of this studio is Awesome.Mastery Martial Arts has given my son self respect, discipline, responsibility,honesty, motivation etc...(the list is actually quite long)The message that my son takes home is to work hard try his best at home, school, and in everyday life.I love how Mastery always incorporates the parents on to the mat to assist a them with a small part of their curriculum. Not only does that make the kids feel very special, us a parents love it.We try to get to the Little Dragons Class 3 times a week and I can honestly say this is one sport that I dont have to fight to get him to go. For us, this studio has Mastered the Art of turning many unfamiliar faces to friends and from there like family.Caiden tells everyone he meets that he plans on becoming a Black Belt by June 2016....We are very proud of him Caiden and his dedication he puts into his martial arts.Thank you Mastery Martial Arts!!!!

My son and I both take karate lessons at Mastery Martial Arts. Our instructor Mr. Michael Pezzillo has such a great rapport with the kids. Hes the perfect blend of tough and nurturing. I like how Masterys focus is not just on teaching kids how to fight. The focus is on becoming better people social, emotionally, mentally AND physically. Yes, you learn karate, but you learn so many important life skills along the way.As an adult, I love the structure and the ability to challenge myself. Not everyone wants to be challenged in the same way and I believe that Mr. Pezzillo, Ms. Ricchiuti and the entire team at Mastery do a great job at personalizing karate based upon the needs of the student and the family.If youre on the fence about trying karate, check out Mastery Martial Arts. Youll be surprised and proud of your accomplishments. And, if youre a parent, take the class with your kids. If I can get up there and yell Ay Yah! with a bunch of kids...anyone can!My son and I are on our way to becoming black belts! None of this would have been possible without the help of everyone at Mastery Martial Arts. A big thanks to my teacher Mr. Michael, hes the best. Also, thanks to Ms. Ricchiuti, Josh, Cote, Dr. K and the rest of the team!!

Our 5 ½ year old daughter has been taking classes as a little dragon With Mr. Pezzillo since she was 4 and is currently a brown belt. Since she began we have watched her grow and surpass her friends exponentially in regards to confidence, self-control, and respect to herself and others. Mr. Pezzillo is truly an amazing instructor and we’re convinced that her exceptional personal and educational achievements in such a short time are a combination of Mastery Martial Arts curriculum and value system as well as Mr. Pezzillos dedication to his students and Martial Arts.Our daughter truly enjoys learning new forms and self-defense. She looks forward to going to her classes, family night out with her new friends, as well as participating in the MMA tournaments which has been an amazing experience as parents to be a part of.We look forward to many years with Mastery, Mr. Pezzillo and Ms. Richutti and for our 2 year old to start in Little Dragons at end of this year, it’s really become a family activity.
