What Makes Us Different?
Emerald Necklace Martial Arts is a unique place to learn. The core of our program involves rigorous physical training in our traditional dojo, but it doesn't end there! It is also our aim to take the traditions and philosophies of the marital arts out of the training hall and into the world to improve our lives and the lives of those around us — in ways that have nothing to do with kicking and punching! Our dojo’s project portfolio is full of examples of how we make this vision a reality.

Our belt rank requirements go beyond the knowledge of physical techniques to include writing assignments, project-based leadership training, community service, and familiarity with methods of peaceful conflict resolution. To earn a Black Belt at our dojo, you’ll certainly need to perform physically, but you’ll also need to show us what you’re made of on the inside.
If you’re looking for something wonderfully creative, exciting, and steeped in tradition, but relevant to the here-and-now, please come visit us! We are humbly and gratefully accepting new students, so if you’re looking for an experience and not just a workout, then come and train with us!
