All of the Masters and instructors are experts in multiple disciplines of Martial Arts including Tae Kwon Do, Hap Kido, Kung Fu, and more. All of the Masters are originally from Korea and their primary discipline is Tae Kwon Do, which is at the core of the curriculum. Mu Han Masters and instructors take pride in holding themselves and their students to the highest virtues and standards possible. They truly take the "Art" to heart. They promote a fun and family oriented environment that is yet challenging and disciplined. Mu Han is a great school (Do Jang) for all ages. Martial arts will not only help your fitness level; it will challenge your mind, body and spirit in new ways helping you gain perspective and resiliency in all aspects of your life. Most of all, you may even surprise yourself with just how much you can do. Learning martial arts was something I always wanted to do but always felt that it was somehow out of reach. I am so happy that even though late in life, I made the decision to give it a try. Three years has gone by in the blink of an eye and I'm now a Black Belt. But, the journey is still just beginning. Come check us out at Mu Han where the Mu Han Motto or the Mu Han Way = "No Limits." Cheers!

    I'm going to try to make this review as much about the place, not the practice. That being said,…read moreKung Fu is an amazing thing to learn, and a very well-rounded discipline. I have practiced for six months at this location with no other prior martial arts instruction. As a total newbie to working out in general it has been tough, but rewarding because of the positive environment and community support. The instructors here are all kind, empathic, approachable, knowledgeable, energetic and just plain geeky in their own ways. They are as great with kids as they are with adults. Evidence of this is seen easily- in our Basic class two of the newest members are mothers whose children have been attending classes here. Unlike other places that will limit your number of classes per week or month they do not- which is great! If you have the ability the new summer schedule allows a new member to take classes six times a week! Of course, it isn't always recommended- they are all about safety. Like everything else in Kung Fu training is all about balance, and Martial Arts Center is good at pushing you just hard enough. I've heard of martial arts classes that are too hard on their students mentally and physically. I've heard of rigid training and strictness with behavior and how the body must move. Martial Arts Center is open-minded, fun, and encourages everyone to move the way it feels right for them. As much as paying attention is emphasized, you are encouraged to joke around and enjoy yourself. You never know what pop culture reference you'll stumble into in the middle of conditioning or when a room of twenty-somethings will start jokingly walking around like crabs while practicing stances. I think the instruction honestly strikes a great balance between teaching something old in a newer way that people, regardless of age or experience, can grasp. Current members are respectful, engaged, hard-working and are obviously enjoying themselves while getting stronger- what more could you want?

First and foremost Sensi Julie is absolutely amazing! The lessons/training are life changing. Julie is a person of deep personal integrity, honor and respect and she is extremely good at instilling those values in others, adult or child. Julie is the type of sensei who is a living embodiment of her teachings. She leads by example. The lessons I learned under Julie's guidance kept me out of trouble in middle school and high school. These lessons shaped me a person and are still with me today. 30 years later I still train martial arts (Muay Thai 10 years and just started BJJ) and I have no doubt that this lifelong pursuit is a result of my time with Julie at Villari's Self Defense Holliston. What price can you put on confidence? Determination? Respect? Honor? A lifelong passion? Whether you are a child or an adult, think of this as an extremely valuable life investment. This isn't just money spent to keep your self or your kids occupied for a couple hours, it is an investment in character and self that will last a lifetime. Can't recommend this place enough!

Master Souza, if you're reading this I hope you understand what you've done and learn to grow into a better person from it. As for Adam (fake name but you know who you are), one of the other teachers there, he's a joy to be taught by. Adam, if you ever read this, I'm sorry you got caught up in the crossfire of this and whatever results. I wish you the best of luck in life and know that we appreciate you.

About a month later, I was diagnosed with long term effects of Covid and could not longer participate. Per their membership contract, I reached out via e-mail to cancel. Their email system DOES NOT RECEIVE EMAILS. Repeated delivery failure. They DO NOT ANSWER voicemails. I was provided the instructors personal cell number at the beginning of class, which I texted, and got no response. I sent a message via facebook, no response. I pretended I was requesting new info on their website - ignored. They are taking a disabled nurse's money. I am still being charged.
