Looking for Martial Arts

I did some basic karate when I was a kid, and would like to get into it again. I know there are a lot of places that offer lessons in all sorts of marital arts, but I had a very bad experience with the one in Arlington Center.

To put it simply, I hate people yelling at me. Most martial arts teachers I've seen treat their students like a drill instructor chewing out new recruits, and I absolutely refuse to pay money to have someone scream at me.

Can anyone recommend a place to learn martial arts with polite, helpful instructors? I don't have much of a preference for the type of art, though I think Akido would be interesting. I am looking for some place on public transportation, preferably on the Red Line.

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

Check out C.W. Taekwondo in Central Sq.

It's very affordable because they are a 501c3 non-profit, and it is right on the T and across the street from the green street parking lot. I have been going there for 8 years now. I have many friends from there, and there is no yelling. You can stop by for a free trial lesson to see if you like it.
