There is a reason Bedford Martial Arts Academy was voted "BEST Karate School in Manchester Region", it's because they ARE! The staff is outstanding, very patient and encouraging with all their students and staff! I can not say enough about the staff! They have not only taught my children karate but they have taught them life skills they can take with them every day. Thank you Bedford Martial Arts Academy for all you do with our children and the local community! You guys rock!!!!

My son and I have been attending Bedford Martial Arts Academy for more than 2 years now. We started when he was 3 years old so he could benefit from the discipline and physical activity of American Kempo. We found so very much more. More than a karate school, it's a family that develops entire students, instilling the ideals of character, community, charity as well as self-discipline and physical excellence. We have recommended Bedford Martial Arts Academy to numerous friends and family as a place to take their kids to learn and grow.

Our two children go to Bedford Martial Arts, we have been there about 3 years. We have nothing but great things to say about the school, the instructors, the programs as well as the other families that also have their kids there. The school has 3 dojos. Two upstairs and a newly completed dojo down stairs. The rooms are nice and bright, with plenty of room for sparring and weapons classes. The main desk area is right at the front door and we are always greeted with a "hello" and a smile by one of the head instructors or Ms. Judy. Not far from the main desk area is the Mud Room. The kids are able to hang up their coats and put their shoes on a shoe rack while they take their class. Also in this room is a water cooler and changing room if needed. Across from the mudroom is the restroom. Back to downstairs....when the lower dojo was completed they also completed the homework room (for the afterschool program), employee lounge and a game room (for the afterschool program as well as the summer camps and school vacation camps programs). The instructors are hands down top notch! They make the classes fun, always positive and are run well, and at the same time the kids are learning respect, focus, control and disipline. Mr. Stewart (owner and head instructor) and his staff make learning karate more than just learning karate, they also teach kids how to treat others in day to day life. Our youngest, who is 9, looks forward to the fun games played in each class as well as the joking around with the younger instructors (the assistant instructors and junior instructors). Our daughter, who is 13, is currently in the instructor program and attends the teen classes. Both of our kids have made new friendships through the school as well as many of their classmates from school take karate too. We trust all the instructors 100% with our children. Bedford Martial Arts offers many programs. An after school program is run during the school year. We don't take part in this program, but have many friends who do and they love that their child is safely picked up from school, brought to the karate school, take a class and by the time they pick their kids up the kid's homework is done too. They also have vacation camps and summer camps. Our kids have done the camps. They play lots of games outside, go to the town pool durning the summer camps, sled in the winter months and play games inside when the weather isn't playing fair. We are so thankful to have found a great karate school and so conviently located. Thank you Mr. Stewart and staff!!
