Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy® of Andover
Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy® of Andover prides itself on being the premier martial arts school for children in the Andover area. We teach children the skills they need to succeed, while they learn to protect themselves. Our system and teaching methods are simply life-transforming. Our program has been specifically designed to meet both the physical and mental needs of growing children, with special attention given to navigating the "tween" years. Is your child on the spectrum, struggling with ADHD, autism, or a similar condition? We excel at working with neurodivergent children and youth.
This unique martial arts program places a strong emphasis on building the foundation for your child’s future SUCCESS!
Ages 4 to 5
In addition to building a solid foundation for martial arts training, these classes are also designed to teach important early life skills such as patience, taking turns, self-control, how to make friends, balance, coordination, mental focus, and confidence. The classes are safe, fun, and always exciting. The skills learned in these classes will jump-start your child to be better prepared for succeeding in pre-school and in future physical activities like athletics, dance, or gymnastics.
In creating our Preschool Group Program, we recognized that a delicate balance between fun and clear structure helps young students to succeed while keeping them excited about coming to class. Our amazing, patient instructors love to work with children. We understand the various challenges children face in wanting to become self-reliant while also needing to develop self-discipline. To accomplish this, we establish clear rules of proper behavior in class, and we encourage the same good behavior at home.
Ages 6 to 14
There are few activities that can benefit your child’s development as effectively as martial arts. Our age-specific Children’s Program is tailored to bring out the maximum potential within each child and provide them with the best instruction possible.
Martial arts will help your child develop important life skills that will give them a head start in everything they do. As your child progresses, you will see their character take shape, their confidence grow, and their self-esteem soar.
Incorporated within the self-defense lessons are strategies for dealing with strangers and bullies, as well as how to avoid negative peer pressure both in real life and online!
In many conventional sports, there are always some children who do very well and others who struggle. We have a slogan: "There are no bench warmers in our school." Every child excels in our program, developing their confidence in the process so that they will be able to deal with any situation life presents to them.
Our objective is to help each and every child grow in a positive manner while equipping them with abilities that will help them in school, at home, on the playground, and, of course, in situations where they have to stand up for themselves. Our ultimate goal is to help you raise children that are unstoppable.
Our Children’s Program teaches practical martial arts and proven self-defense methods, but more importantly, we teach our young students how to handle the tough challenges that appear throughout childhood. Our students learn that physical self-defense is the last resort and rarely necessary. We stress to our students that the techniques they learn in class will work and should never be used for "showing off" or to intimidate others.
Our students learn how to avoid conflict, set and achieve goals, make responsible choices, avoid negative peer pressure, and many other important skills crucial for success in life! Put simply, our Children’s Program emphasizes complete physical, mental, and emotional development.
To succeed in life, children must acquire the skills and habits necessary to confront difficult challenges and remain positive and focused, regardless of the outcome. It is also essential for them to learn how to collaborate and compete with their peers while respecting themselves and others.
As they hone their physical abilities and learn to trust in their own capabilities, their self-confidence and self-esteem will skyrocket. Ultimately, our classes teach children to hold themselves to a higher standard with both confidence and humility, equipping them with the tools to succeed in life.
One of the best things about martial arts is that it delivers an elite level of physical fitness while kids are having fun. Most of the time, they don't even realize they're exercising. But make no mistake, kids who take martial arts are some of the most well-conditioned children around. Martial arts provide cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, agility, and balance. There are really no other sports or activities that can compare.
Childhood obesity is at epidemic levels today. We work with students who need to lose weight to help them break unhealthy habits and set realistic fitness goals. The lessons children learn will follow them into adulthood, setting them up for a lifetime of good health and a positive self-image.
At Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy®, we do not take belt promotion lightly. We do everything in our power to teach students to be patient, determined, and goal-oriented, so when they do earn their belts, they feel a great sense of accomplishment that really boosts their confidence and self-esteem.
And unlike sports or other activities where only some kids score the points or get the medals, every student in our school gets to experience the personal reward of advancing from one level to the next.
Bullying hurts. It causes psychological and emotional scars that can last a lifetime. Regardless of whether your child is the victim of bullying or the one doing it, low self-esteem is usually the cause, and it will eventually lead to poor school performance, depression, and labeling.
Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy® has the solution! Our program builds physical, mental, and emotional strength, while our students learn both self-respect and respect for others. Children who believe in themselves not only make poor targets for bullies, they learn to stand up and "find their voice." At the same time, children who were inclined towards bullying learn they don't need to intimidate others to feel self-worth.
Many parents worry that martial arts may make their child more aggressive, but in reality, it's the exact opposite. Martial arts teaches children self-control. Our students learn to stand up for themselves and their principles and to respond to bullying in the most effective manner, with physical force being the last resort. The advantage to the techniques we teach is that they are totally non-violent and are only applied in response to physical aggression, ensuring that they are never used for the wrong reason. Most importantly, our students learn they can walk away from trouble with courage and authority.
Our Members Love us - Their Words Not Ours...
We cannot say enough about Sensei Seth and Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy. My boys have some emotional/behavioral challenges and I have seen such an improvement in them since we started karate. The classes are well-structured, fun, and Sensei Seth is great with the kids.

I can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Sensei Seth as my 4 year-old’s martial arts instructor. He has a wonderful way of instilling discipline in the little ones while still allowing them to be kids. The environment he creates in the dojo is warm, welcoming, and supportive. Our family feels incredibly fortunate to be part of his martial arts program!
