BatchBlue Staff Favorite: Boston Martial Arts Center

The Boston Martial Arts Center is one of my favorite small businesses here in Boston. When I first met Mark Davis and took a look at their website for development, they were stuck 15 years behind the times. The site’s now updated, and they’ve reached beyond their comfort zone and have begun marketing using the web. A large leap for a small business!
They offer many classes in the study of martial arts, starting with an easy introductory class. While they offer advanced classes like Taijutsu, they also offer self-defense classes to the community, teaching how to recognize when one is most vulnerable and self-protection when a situation calls for defense. They even have classes for small children, teaching them non-violent resolutions to problems and giving positive reinforcement of good behavior. Great lessons for any child to learn!
No stuffy center or competition, just respect for martial arts, learning and each other. The instructors go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable when they step into the center, putting anyone instantly at ease so they are ready to learn.
