So glad I joined Bochner’s studio! The semi-private and fitness classes are energizing, and the coaches are so helpful and encouraging. After only a few weeks, I feel better than I have in a long time. And the nutrition guidance and protein products only add to it. Give it a try it’s a good thing!

I initially came here for buddy week with my step mom in her kickboxing class, which I LOVED!!!! I intend to join classes for myself.. Then I was informed they have a martial arts class for kids for self defense. I immediately wanted my kids to try it out. They have done a couple weeks so far and they look forward to it. Ask me daily “do we have class today.. “ I absolutely recommend Bochners, over and over again. Not only for fitness for yourself but for your whole family!

My son takes the jujutsu class, and he loves it! It is the one activity that he actually wants to go to each week. Not only does it keep him active, but it also teaches him respect, control, and of course self-defense.

The coaches at Bochners are amazing! They truly care about your health and fitness goals. It's a comfortable place to workout. I have never felt like I was being judged for looking the way I do or for not knowing the right technique when it comes to the punches, kicks, or even lifting! Highly recommend. I've been attending classes there for just under 2 months and I've gotten so many compliments on the weight that is just falling off already! Thank you Dr. Marc, coach Seth, and coach Josh! There's more coaches there but these are the only 3 I've worked with so far! Also the music is upbeat and singable 😁

I really recommend Bochner’s to anyone looking for a great place to get fit, lose weight and gain motivation. It’s a relaxed, fun, non judgmental and friendly environment. There’s lots of class availability for busy schedules, even you can bring your kids with you if you’re stuck without anyone to watch them, which is really helpful. This place will get you past whatever has been keeping you from achieving your weight loss and fitness goals.

I highly recommend Bochner’s kickboxing classes!! There’s always fun music and laughing while sweating like crazy. The classes are challenging but they also offer modifications for more difficult moves. They also have a zoom option for when I can get to the class in person. It’s a really great experience, and includes a wholistic approach with an accountability coach that has been so helpful keeping me on track! I still have some things to work on, and I’m excited to keep working!! Edit to add 02/03/2024: I've been going to Bochner's for over a year now, and it's been the nest experience. I'm maintaining just about 30-35lb down from when I started, and Marc and Josh are working with me to reach my final goal of about 10-15lb more!! Highly recommend.

I love this place so much. Over the years, I've tried to be consistent with exercise and it has never worked. I've tried different group classes, different gyms, working out at home, everything really. Fitness kickboxing was the first thing I tried that I wanted to stick with. The class itself is amazing, it makes me feel great, and it gives me a type of confidence I've never had before. It's not just the class though, it's the people. The owner Marc, Coach Catt, Coach Rhiannon, the rest of the team, and everyone that attends is supportive, fun, and easy going. I've never been to a place where I felt this comfortable and welcome. The support and the accountability that this place provides is top-notch and worth every penny. I'm so thankful I found them and that I'm finally taking care of my body.

Your smile, and your positivity always shine through. The products (shakes, and supplements are superior), the food choices are generous, nutrious, & the food plan is easy to follow. So grateful to be apart of Bochner Body Therapy challenge! I am thrilled to say I have lost 28lbs. I have 8lbs left towards my goal! Give yourself the best gift now by joining Bochners.

Kickboxing kicks my butt! I am not one to exercise or workout. Needing to make a change I signed up for the 6 week challenge. The staff and other clients have made me feel welcome & comfortable. No one made me feel bad for being out of shape. (I’m still out of shape but working on it.) The coaches encouraged me & offered alternatives if there were exercises I was not able to do. The best part are the awesome coaches! Honestly, can’t speak highly enough of them! I would have quit week 1 if it weren’t for Coach Catt & Coach Heidi. My 6 weeks are over & I am still willingly torturing myself. It’s the absolutely the hardest 45 minutes of my day but so worth it! Here’s to week 10!

I can't say enough about how great Bochner's has been for me. I started on the 6 week challenge in August 2022 to lose weight and get healthy and fit, and it completely changed my life. The nutrition plan, accountability coaching and fitness kickboxing class combination made all the difference. All of the instructors/coaches are so good. Never a dull session and the best workout. If you stick to the program it absolutely works! Not only that, but the coaches and other members made me feel so welcome and encouraged. Marc knows what he's doing and is the most positive person I've ever met. Having Coach Josh for accountability was the best with my day to day check ins and kept me on track! I feel so much better both health wise and with my self esteem. As I write this 3.5 months in, I've lost 37 lbs! I couldn't have done it without all the above and I'll keep coming even when I reach my goals!

I had a less than positive experience at my last kickboxing gym because there just seemed to be too many cliques. Here at Bochner’s I don’t feel that at all! Everyone is friendly and helpful! You can go at your own pace, modify if you need to and not feel singled out because of it. When the semi privates opened up i knew it was going to become my favorite part because I have always loved weights and challenging myself and this program delivers that! I also need to be held accountable for what i eat and how much i exercise and i definitely get that now! I’m happy I took the chance and signed up at this gym! This has been a VERY positive experience!

Totally life changing. I started the semi- private body rejuvenation program in February and I love it!! Marc and all of the other trainers are knowledgeable about exercise and nutrition but most of all they personally care about each and every client. Coach Molly has helped me tremendously with changing the way I think about exercises and nutrition. She’s encouraging and so supportive. The classes are fun but still challenging. The Friday morning 5:30 am inferno class is one of my favorites. I never thought I would get up to go workout at 5:30 am but I do now. I’m the healthiest I’ve been in a very long time!!

After going through some health issues I was nervous getting back into fitness. With some extra weight and being inactive for a few months, I was intimidated to join a gym. But as soon as I walked into Bochners, I was immediately at ease. It is one of the most welcoming and supportive gyms I have ever been to. The coaches are motivating, the workouts are incredible, and the other members are inspiring. It truly is a place where you can come as you are. After a few weeks I was noticeably stronger, had more mobility where I was injured, a couple pounds lighter, and my confidence doubled. Cannot recommend this gym or the staff enough.

After having a major surgery on my collarbone and dominant shoulder I was pretty bummed I couldn’t do weightlifting or competitive sports anymore. But I had never tried kickboxing or any type of group class before. So I went out in a limb and contacted Marc and I’m so glad I did. Every second of class is worth it. It’s a whole body work out and is good for the mind, body and soul. I can’t highly recommend enough. I am still recovering from surgery and not going 100 percent but man I feel like I should’ve been doing this my whole life. Kudos to Marc for supporting people of all walks of life and whether or not they have physical limitations. Great coaches (especially Molly who too the time to teach me in my first class). Hands down a great program and I’m so glad I made the decision to go.

I just SERIOUSLY started on my health journey about a month ago, so I am not what anyone would refer to as "physically fit". But as they say, the journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step! I have to be honest, the thought of joining a Kickboxing gym was pretty daunting, envisioning highly trained individuals going to town on the bags, whilst I die in a corner.. definitely not my idea of a good time! I also have some hip joint issues that wouldnt allow me to do all the powerful kicking that I assumed was part of the program. However, my best friend of many many years has been going there for three years...and SHE LOVES IT! And I expressed my reluctance, she talked to Marc Bochner (who is not only the owner but also a Dr. of Physiology) who told her that the program could be modified to fit ANY person! So, I took the plunge and after three weeks, Ive found that not only are the instructors extremely knowledgable and helpful, they are also motivating, encouraging and just happy when you show up! The attendees, which I assumed would be beasts running circles around me, are the NICEST people who definitely also want to see me succeed and give helpful hints and tips so Im not hurting myself trying to keep up! And Marc Bochner himself is ALWAYS encouraging, offering tips, checking in and telling me I did great, even if I feel like I barely made it through. The fact that they understand that we are all at different levels of "personal best" and love that we can acheive just that, it defintely means the difference between me going and me NOT going. I, personally, HIGHLY recommend Bochner's. It felt like a family from the second I stepped in the door

Bochner's Kickboxing Studio is the best fitness studio I have worked out at in the past 30 years I have been exercising. They make you feel welcome immediately and like you are part of a family no matter what size, age, or fitness level you are at. The workouts are always changing making sure you get a great workout. Coach Marc put together a great 28 day meal plan for us members that he offered to us for free and I lost 9 pounds after struggling for years to even lose 5 pounds. You have nothing to lose (except for some fat and pounds) and your health, strength, energy, happiness, and more to gain!

I had Baritric surgery in September and one of our group members mentioned she was going to a kickboxing class. I was never able to exercise before and as I was losing the weight I wanted to try. I signed up for the 28 day special and fell in love with the class. Marc ( the owner)was very helpful and understanding to my needs and what my limitations were. I’ve had 3 hip replacements and need to be very careful of my range of motion. If I’m unable to do an exercise they modify it for me. The instructors are amazing and really friendly. Brianna, Meghan and Michelle are all incredible. I started working with a coach ( Kristen) who inspires and motivates me. Bochner’s has always made me feel welcome and I hope more people step out of their comfort zone and come see what it’s all about. If I can do it so can you. I feel confident and energized after every class. Thank you to everyone there for helping me become the person I am today. Jennifer

I don’t know where to start heaping praise on Bochner’s Realistic Self-Defense and Fitness Training! As soon as you walk in the door you notice the welcoming atmosphere, not only by Marc and the instructors, but by your fellow customers. The studio is very clean and sanitized. Your temperature is taken as soon as you walk in the door to ensure everyone’s safety. The value you get at Bochner’s is incredible. Compared to other studios that offer much less, you get more bang for your buck. Right now, I’m taking private lessons with Sensei Bethany. She couldn’t be more patient and understanding to a novice martial artist. She thoroughly explains not only exactly what to do, but more importantly WHY we do it. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned from her in a short time. I very much look forward to the group classes. In conclusion, I highly recommend Bochner’s for anyone looking to be able to defend themselves, feel better about themselves, and just wants to have a fun and different workout! I hope to see you there!

I just wanted to take a moment to share my experience as a member of Bochner’s Body Therapy Kickboxing Classes. As a mom, being able to attend classes has been invaluable in allowing me to take some time for myself while improving my mental and physical fitness. While my experience has been phenomenal, the ongoing Covid -19 lockdowns threatened my ability to continue my sessions. Thankfully, Marc thought outside the box and has been able to provide virtual instructional classes through the lockdown. These sessions are even more important as such drastic changes in our routines can wear on the mind. I look forward to being able to attend zoom live classes and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great and fun way to exercise.

I started at Bochner's Realistic Self Defense just over a year ago in the fitness kickboxing class, before starting it had been a while since I went to a fitness class or any type of gym, I always played sports but going to fitness classes always seemed intimidating to me. At the advice of 2 good friends who were going to Bochner's I decided to give it a shot, and I can say that I've never happier to step outside my comfort zone and try something different. From the first class Marc was so nice and encouraging and Cindy along with the other staff made me feel so comfortable, like I belonged there, which was an amazing feeling! Over a year in I still do the fitness kickboxing and have also started jiu jitsu/self defense classes, I feel stronger physically and mentally than I have felt in a very long time! Thanks to Bochner's I have found 2 things I truly enjoy doing and even better than that I have regained confidence in myself, which is something that I was missing for a long time.

Being a teacher, I love the concept of the mat chat and the focus being around self defense. Highly recommend!!

Finding Bochner's Body Therapy was a great find. I've been attending since the middle of September and have loved every minute. The staff and members are wonderful; it's such a friendly and accepting atmosphere. The workouts are empowering and it's helped me improve body mind and spirit.

I’ve been going to Bochner’s since May of this year and I absolutely love the classes they are fun and change up every class, but what makes it even better is the motivation and support from Marc. He is an amazing coach and truly cares about every single person that attends his classes. He’s encouraging and determined to help you meet your goals. I highly recommend these classes that are filled with upbeat and motivated people determined to become a better version of themselves ! Give Bochner’s body therapy classes a try they will not dissapoint !

I've been taking this class a few weeks now, and I can't say enough about how awesome it is. I have a lot of anxiety going to gym's and classes, but there's none of that here. I felt right at ease. Marc is great and so is the rest of the staff there. It's a lot of fun and a great workout. Everyone that goes to the classes are great too. Very welcoming and friendly

I wanted to take some self defense classes over the summer before starting college and I am so happy I took classes here and had such a wonderful experience! When you walk in, you are greeting with a welcoming and positive atmosphere. Everyone was incredibly supportive and encouraging which was super great especially when I first started and was absolutely clueless. I worked with Sensei Bethany for the majority of my classes who was an amazing teacher and mentor. I truly appreciate how much she cares about her students and how she takes the time to get to know us as individuals. I loved being able to come into such a safe and fun learning environment and will be carrying everything I've learned with to college. I am very excited to come back next summer and would highly recommend classes for anyone looking to feel a bit safer and more confident being on their own.

I researched self-defense schools for my daughter who is entering college this fall. We attended a lesson, and she felt the school was a good fit for her. She has gained confidence and learned methods that she can use to defend herself. She respected the ability of the staff members that she worked with and has attended as many classes as she could. She enjoyed the lessons and intends to continue her training next summer. I highly recommend Marc Bochner and his staff!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I joined Bochner's Kickboxing classes 3 months ago with lot of dilemma. I did not know whether it is going to help me out or not. But as the time passed by, i was feeling great each day after the workout. The instructors are very good and Mark himself is a GREAT guy. I lost quite a few pounds(may be 10lb), developed a lot of strength and muscles. But the most surprising thing happened when i met my doctor after 3 months. I have been struggling with high blood pressure for past 10 years and I could never make it to normal even after various exercises . It was always at the higher end with little dosage of medicine. But yesterday, my blood pressure was just NORMAL. and i was very happy. Thank you Mark for your body therapy. You are really doing a great job in putting people back in shape. :)

If you are looking for a great workout, accountability, knowledgeable staff and a fun environment, then you need to come to Bochner's Body Therapy! The staff is amazing and is always there to push you and help if you have any questions, the class sizes are great you get to know the other members and have an additional support system. Marc does a great job making sure that no 2 workouts are the same, so it never gets stale.

I joined Bochner's Kickboxing classes when I saw their 6 week challenge on Facebook. I was one to never stick to any type of workout for more than 2 weeks. I was one of the tread mill troops, always hiding in the back of the gym. I was afraid to come out and use other equipment and look stupid. I walked through Bochner's Kickboxing doors with little confidence and 6 six weeks later feel like a totally different person both physically and mentally. I left that first class feeling great! I see such a difference in my body composition and my mental well being! The staff is so friendly and encouraging. Modifications are always available and they always have encouraging words that push you to finish! There is no monotony in these classes. It is always different and fun! You leave class with a great full body workout. Make the commitment and I promise that you won't be disappointed!

I completed a 6 week challenge at Bochner's and I loved it! Mark and Cindy are great instructors - they are welcoming, fun, and help push you to your potential. You have a number of class times available and each class is different. They incorporate challenges, and fun workout games to each class, so you are never bored. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a welcoming, group workout that helps you build strength, stamina, and lose weight.

I’ve been impressed since the first day I walked through the door! The facility is clean, the instructors are motivating, and everyone is super friendly! Unlike commercial facilities where you’re treated like just another number/dollar $, I never felt pressure to sign a contract or “lock in a price.” When you run a program the right way, it sells itself, and that’s exactly why I joined! The classes are unique and fun; I actually look forward to exercising! Marc listens to his customers, adds classes when there is demand, and is always looking for ways to engage the group and share his expertise.

When you’re a person like me who hates the treadmill, the gym, and everything in between I knew that I had to find something that I would love to do to be able to continue doing it. I took my first kickboxing class 4 years ago & have been hooked ever since. Found a place that I “thought” I loved until they closed & I had to search for another place. Through a recommendation from a friend who raved about Bochner’s I tried it & the rest is history! Marc & Cindy go out of their way to make working out fun & exciting, you leave looking forward to what the next class will bring. They make you feel so welcome! Something so little as telling them that early morning classes are a must & they say “what time?” You say 6:30 & a week later there are 3 on the schedule (and they keep adding more) goes a long way! From the other place I found a group of ladies that have become lifelong friends and we all moved to our new Home & Happy place 🧡

I ❤️ Bochner’s Body Therapy! What I love is that classes are designed to accomodate any fitness level. You will never get the feeling that you’re falling behind or feel left out because there are different options of exercises to choose from allowing you to “customize” your workout and apply it to your own fitness level. All members are friendly and supportive. Marc and Cindy are awesome! Their humor and personality make the classes fun. They encourage you to do your best and help you remain focused on your goals.

I have been to other kickboxing studio's this is by far the BEST there is! The Cardio kickboxing class is a combination of martial arts with Realistic self defense techniques with fast-paced cardio. This high-energy workout challenges the kick boxers of all levels! Different classes every day so you are never bored with routines! But the thing I love best is that the staff is so friendly, they make you feel like family, they are also so informative & eager to help you meet your personal goals. It is a pleasure to go to every class!!!! So Glad I found Bochner's!!!!!

I recently joined Bochner's Body Therapy - Kickboxing Classes and I'm addicted!! I especially love the fact that no two classes are ever the same. It is an incredible and challenging full body workout for every level of fitness. What better way to end a stressful day than to throw some punches and kicks and get a great workout at the same time. Marc and Miss Cindy are very motivating and supportive and you can tell that they really want everyone to get an awesome workout and leave there feeling incredible. Another plus is that the classes are never over crowded, they offer a number of classes ranging from 6:30 am - 7:10 pm and no high sales pressure. I initially signed up for the 6 week challenge but I will definitely be continuing with Bochner's after the challenge is over.

I started taking kickboxing classes years ago at a different place. I loved the intense workout and the ability to take out aggression all in one. It's a great outlet when working in the food service industry 😅. The class I was taking soon became unaffordable and the classes were PACKED. I gave up kickboxing for a few years and then heard about Bochner's and decided to give it another shot. They are not only affordable but the classes are much smaller and more intimate. Cindy and Marc are both awesome and will go above and beyond to help their students achieve whatever goal they have. I've been going since the end of June and feel SO much better about myself and just in general. The morning classes really set the tone for a better day. I have more energy, feel accomplished and ready to face whatever the day throws at me. Thanks guys!

I had a wonderful experience with Sensei Marc and his instructors during my 1 month self defense course! Everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful, and I immediately felt comfortable coming in for class several times per week. I had no prior experience, and the course helped prepare me for any situation in which I would need to defend and protect myself! As a young woman who lives independently and enjoys travel, I would recommend the class to anyone looking to gain skills and confidence needed for self defense.

By far one of the best investments I have made in a long time!!! Marc and the rest of the team are one of Rhode Island's greatest group of people. I can't express enough gratitude and appreciation for every member's support and willingness to share their knowledge and investing in my journey. This is my first time involved in Martial arts and was very much intimated at the prospect of going into a Dojo and being the new guy. Since my very first lesson the entire team has exceeded my expectations of working to ensure a smooth integration and transition into having productive sessions. If you are looking for a friendly place that provides some of the best work outs surrounded by real life Ninjas, look no further! Geo

It’s been well over a year since I started at BRSD. I always had the idea to do something like this in my past but I didn’t take action until I had an adversary come at me. For a while now I’ve been self conscious to write a review because of what my fellow peers may think of me, but then there have been a few times that I come early and see these kids learning, building confidence, taking control, discipline, and having fun! Bochner’s self defense is a great place for all those reasons; the feeling of taking control of your life back after anything that has thrown at you. Preparing for any situation, learning techniques, and having fun! I can also say that price wise is more then fair. I love this place, everyone is super friendly, and make you feel like family. I recommend anyone to join or even take seminar to have a small taste!

As a previous student of the kickboxing classes, I will tell you it is an awesome workout. Not only did I work up a sweat but I always had fun. Each class is different, we always did plenty of kickboxing but also a mix of core, arms and leg exercises and a personal challenge. It helped me focus on me, relieving my stress and made amazing friends while doing it. Within the past year I have joined Marc and Harry as part of the instructors team! I absolutely love helping and guiding people through their lifestyle changes. As one who has always struggled with weight and being fit, it took me different workouts and changes in my life to get to where I am today. I have become an ACE certified trainer and joined Marc’s team. My goal is to continue focusing on those who want to make the commitment, in a safe, positive and fun environment! Come down to check us out! You won’t be sorry 😉

My daughter has attended Bochner's Realistic Self Defense for over a year now. Sensei Marc and his team do an excellent job with the children’s classes. The environment is friendly and inviting. Family is routinely involved in the classes. The classes are a mixture of traditional instruction time, lesson oriented games, calisthenics and "mat chats”, a discussion with the children in the class about the topic of the week. Topics include discipline, self-esteem and so on. Overall, I would highly recommend Bochner's.

Awesome professional Dojo that will set you up with physical and mental skills for life. The group atmosphere is easy going and will introduce you to the use of force and self control. Not only does Bochner's teach you self defense but also teaches the greater skill of how to diffuse various situations without using force. A completely different atmosphere than other Martial Arts schools. Highly recommended!

I started at Bochner's about 4 months ago after a free self defense seminar. The atmosphere is welcoming and energetic, and everyone instructing and helping is passionate and skilled. Sensei Marc is especially adept with managing different skill levels and having everyone feel comfortable and challenged to their individual abilities and goals. Miss Meghan was my first training partner and she is fantastic and worked me into my first few classes. I also attend classes with Sensei Bethany and Det. Joe, their incredible range of experiences and knowledge has been my foundation of learning now that I've committed to earning my ranks. I recently tested for my yellow/white belt. All the instructors/senseis at Bochner's are talented and kind people with your best interest in mind. I would encourage all ages and abilities to attend a seminar or class, and check out the body therapy/kickboxing too!

A few weeks ago I took a Women's self defnse class here at Marc Bochner's studio and it was very empowering! Marc and his talented staff were able to show us ways not only to get out of any hold an attacker may try to use but how to counter with something that an attacker just won't be expecting! When I returned home I was excited to try out all my new moves! I will be taking this class again in the future to hone these new techniques I have learned. If you are looking to take a self defense class I would highly recommend this studio; you will not be disappointed.

This was my first time ever going to Bochner's and it was great! I don't know much about self defense but Marc and Joe were phenomenal teachers. Marc taught us five defense moves in an hour an a half, all explained and practiced amongst each other. I also appreciated him and the other instructors going around and giving feedback to our position and technique. I would highly recommend going to see Marc if you want to learn self defense; he's extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he truly cares.

I attended the Empower Mom Self Defense seminar this weekend and it was super fun, and informative. This was my second time taking a seminar and both times I left feeling like I could protect myself and kick some butt if I needed to. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming here and there were lots of laughs too. My husband has been training here consistently for about 8-9 years and he loves it. He's a pretty badass ninja now, thanks to Marc and the team. Once my 7 month old is old enough he will be the next ninja in training at Bochner's Realistic Self Defense.

This past weekend, I attended the Empowering Moms Seminar at Bochner's Realistic Self-Defense. My experience was phenomenal. I learned so much in a short amount of time...I can confidently say I'd be able to defend myself if I needed to. Sensei Marc did an excellent job explaining the self-defense moves and demonstrating them, while also adding in humor to make the experience more fun. All of the instructors were very helpful and encouraging throughout the seminar. I enjoyed getting hands on practice and really liked how there was no need to memorize anything. This is ideal because if there ever was an emergency, you wouldn't have time to think. Overall, the seminar was fun and informative, and I'm looking forward to going back to learn more.

As an experienced martial artist, focused on very traditional systems, I wanted to try something different and more practical self defense skills. I looked around and tried several different programs. I finally decided to give Bochner's Self Defense a try. I have been pleasantly surprised. Sensei Marc Bochner and his team have created a great environment for those with and without previous MA experience. The style can best be described as jujitsu. Many of his students and instructors have experience in many other systems. This brings a wealth and diversity of skills. What I enjoy the most is the support from instructor and students in every class. I am not interested in belt progression but it is a practical element for actual learning and skill progression. When you get a new belt I can say you have really earned it. I would recommend for anyone looking to learn practical self defense skills and willing to work hard and understand it is a long term commitment.

I came here for a free self-defense class. From the moment I walked in, I was felt welcome. There were people sitting at a desk where I was greeted and signed in. They gave me a folder to look through and invited me to find a place to sit and look through it until the class began. While I was sitting, one of the staff came over and started chatting with me, another part of the welcoming experience. I loved the class! We all paired up so we could practice what we were learning. I came alone, but I was invited to join a group that had 3 people in it, so it worked out great. There were a lot of instructors there to give advice and check on the pairs while we had mini practice sessions throughout. I found the trainers very helpful. I had a lot of fun during the class. I liked that there was a Q&A period after the major part of the class. It went longer than expected because we had good questions, but I didn't mind. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone interested in learning basic self-defense. They offer sets of self-defense and aikido classes you can take if you want to learn more.

The school itself is filled with warm welcoming people who I thoroughly enjoy participating with. Mr. Bochner and his group of teachers are some of the nicest people I've met and have done everything possible to ease my initial worries of joining.

I started training with Sensei Marc in May '16. He is extremely knowledgeable and invested in each and every student's success as are all the instructors . They have a no nonsense approach to self defense. You do not need to be a "ninja warrior" in order to defend yourself. If you are looking for a school that will offer practical and effective self-defense training then I suggest looking into Bochner's Realistic Self-Defense. They have taught me how to defend myself and regain my self confidence! I can't recommend them enough!

After deciding to put my nephew into martial arts I begin researching dojo's. Having some martial arts knowledge I knew the type of program/atmosphere I wanted for him. 1) welcoming positive atmosphere that is judgment free 2) knowledgeable, friendly, interactive staff 3) A fun, constructive, evolving curriculum for him to grow with 4)A different ranking system for kids and adults. I do not believe a black belt should be younger than 18 years or so because a kid cannot fight off an adult therefore giving them a false sense of the confidence that comes with being a black belt 5) A place where the integrity and respect exemplified by the owner and staff is instilled in the students This school has every one of them ! In the three short months my nephew has been attending classes he's taken major strides forward. My very prematurely born (<2lb) now 8 year old small framed, extremely shy, self-conscious and a little socially behind nephew has become more self-confident, he's a lot less shy, and his teacher has told his dad that he is more focused, attentive, and interactive in school. I can say for sure this experience has already been life-changing for him and I look forward to seeing how much brighter his future becomes! Sensei Marc is a true leader. He exudes calm, confidence, self-esteem, and pride-all the things you want your children to have. All of the instructors are well-trained, knowledgeable and friendly and the dojo has a family-friendly atmosphere. It is well worth the drive from Cumberland for my nephew to attend classes at Bochner's Realistic Self-Defense Training and Fitness Center.

This is a great place to learn self-defense. It is a comfortable learning environment and the instructors are patient as well as friendly. I had four private lessons there and they were great! My instructor designed them so that they perfectly matched my skill level. Every new move was broken down into clear steps which were taught at a good pace. At Bochner's they enforce repetition, and you will get better because of it. Bochner's is also fair price-wise. I received a student discount. This place is worth checking out.
