This place is awesome, my son really enjoying it here. he takes in as many classes as he can and has so much fun doing it. I like it too because it is not just about having fun but also getting a lot of experience and discipline… The instructors are awesome and really great deal of experience.

I have been training at the MJ O’Malley Tae Kwon Do Center for about 6 months now and I can truly say this is a top-notch school. I last practiced Tae Kwon Do over 10 years ago in Boston and stopped my training due to the commute. I had been thinking about returning to the sport and was pleasantly surprised and excited when I found out Mr. O’Malley was opening up a school in Peabody! Why was I surprised and excited? Well, Mr. O’Malley is well respected and one of the best instructors in the world with 37 years of experience to boot. I am grateful for the opportunity to be trained by him. I like the fact that the school is open 7 days per week which means I can train whenever i want. There are many classes and they easily fit my schedule. And, there are no restrictions to how often I can go, unlike other schools. The school has a great atmosphere and the classes give you an awesome workout. The workouts are serious, but also fun. My nephew is also a member of the school and he loves going and he is always showing me his new form or the kick he is perfecting. It has been a wonderful bonding experience. In fact, many parents and their children train together at the school. Also, if you are female and wonder about this being a masculine sport or too aggressive, don’t be intimidated! You will learn an ancient art, develop self-defense skills and build confidence as well as inner and physical strength. What’s not to love? If you are looking to get back into your training, are looking for something new to try or have children and want them to experience the martial arts, this is the place to be!
