Northeastern Martial Arts Institute

Thank you so much to all the amazing moms and families who joined us for our Mother’s Day Karate Workout this past Saturday at NEMA Dojo!

We had over two dozen moms and their Karate Kids on the training floor, and the energy, laughter, and spirit throughout the class were absolutely wonderful. It was a great experience seeing moms and kids training together, encouraging one another, and simply having fun together.

We hope you enjoyed the class, the pink belts, and the roses. Our staff truly appreciated the opportunity to celebrate all of the incredible moms in our Dojo community.

The event was open to all our NEMA Dojo moms and because it was such a success, we would like to invite all our moms to a special FREE Women’s Self-Defense Workshop at the dojo.

Date: Tuesday, May 19th
Time: 7:15 PM – 8:45 PM

This beginner-friendly class will focus on:
• Awareness and personal safety
• Easy-to-learn self-defense skills
• Confidence and mindset
• Practical strategies for real-world situations

No experience is necessary, and the class is designed to be fun, supportive, and low pressure.

Participants are welcome to bring a female friend; however, class size is limited to 20 participants, so advance registration is recommended.

Thank you again for being part of our NEMA Dojo family. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Congratulations to Our New Black Belts!

This past Saturday was an exciting day at Northeastern Martial Arts Institute as four dedicated students tested for their Black Belt rank.

Black Belt is not just about learning techniques—it represents years of hard work, discipline, perseverance, and personal growth. Each of these students demonstrated outstanding skill, spirit, and determination during their test.

We are proud to announce that all four students passed and earned their Black Belt!

👏 Please join us in congratulating:

Adelaide Schwab
Hannah Terry
Maya Christopher
Nick Sihto

This is a tremendous accomplishment and a milestone they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

We are very proud of you! 👊
