Forged BJJ Krav Maga Self Defense Martial Arts Academy

“My son started about 2 months ago and can not get enough! Everyday he wakes up asking if he can go to karate. Not only is he learning self discipline, but he has gained so much confidence and respect for himself and others. Coach Damien and Coach Jess are the absolute best!”

“I found Forged along time ago because of an amazing mom friend. And my son has been going for 4+ years and has been a great way to get exercise. But the best part is Dennis and his team. They have poured so much love and guidance into my son. Now current day I also attend and I bring my niece with me and we have the best quality time!”

“Dennis and his team have a phenomenal school. Awesome instruction, great culture, and one of the longest standing schools in the region. Definitely check them out if you’re in the Salem Massachusetts area.”

“If you want to learn, improve, being a better version of yourself, this is the place where you need to train. Coach Dennis is one of this special trainer. This rare to find a gym like this. So go, try, stay and smile. The entire crew who works there is awesome. 🙏”

“Instructor displayed a great knowledge on the arts of martial arts. Which is huge for me. He asked the kids why do you want to do this? That question allows the child to explore there minds to deliver a message of who they want to be. It brings a sense of self understanding and confidence. The mission statement is a solid one. They hold great structure which allows kids to have a platform to grow and build life skills as well. On the other side of coin I am a boxer in training I am familiar in the arts of fighting. The instructor are very skilled and have the credibility needed to lead by example. Footwork , correct punching forms and defense was on point. They know what they are doing and very professional. I’m so impressed by my first session and my son loved it. He left with a smile and accomplished. I see myself training here in the future with my son.”
