Greatly appreciated to Master Austin, Sensei Tom, and everyone there at Universal Warrior Mixed Martial Arts in Bayonne at 250 Broadway. Thank-you.“

“We’ve been training here Master Curry Karate Jujutsu Ryu for about two years, and I felt it was time to leave a review. This place has been great for my son Jayden. He’s become more confident, more focused, and much more disciplined. The instructors are patient, supportive, and really know how to work with kids. Jayden actually looks forward to every class, and we’ve seen real progress both in his skills and his attitude. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a solid martial arts school.“

“My son has been going here for about a year and I absolutely love it here. It is the perfect mix of discipline and fun for the kids. They make every child feel confident and strong while teaching new skills. I have watched my timid 3 year old son turn into a more assertive and confident 4 year old. All the instructors are amazing with the kids. We are so happy we sent him here and cannot thank them enough!“

“I traveled from Hamburg to NYC for a few days and decided to drop by the gym last Friday. I spontaneously joined the 1.5-hour BJJ class, and it was a great experience.

I was really impressed by Professor Daniel and the way he teaches. Everyone welcomed me very warmly, which made me feel comfortable right away.

Absolutely great gym highly recommended!“

“This review is long overdue. Professor Mike and Rita, thank you for everything. Your kindness, guidance, and dedication gave me the skills and foundation to become a successful MMA fighter — including winning a championship belt. I still think about the academy and training there often. Even though I’ve moved to New Jersey, I’ll always be grateful for what you gave me on and off the mats. Thank you again.

“Wonderful Tae Kwon Do school ::: NY Finest TKD!

The school environment and staff are incredibly positive and motivating. Master Larissa, Master Fiona, and Master Katrell and Master Aiden and Master Steven and all the staff are truly exceptional instructors and people. They each bring their own unique strengths to the class, but each is so committed to the students. Their passion for Tae Kwon Do and their ability to connect with kids is inspiring. They are mentors who not only teach the curriculum but also respect, perseverance, and confidence which is so important.
The school also has parties, summer camps, events, aka Christmas, Halloween, holiday bashes that are SUPER fun and my kid always look forward to going.
We’re so grateful to be part of NY Finest TKD community, and we can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“My son has been attending classes here for several months. Not only does he love it, but he feels more confident.“

“This place is amazing. The team here and owner of the studio are really great people. We were their upstairs neighbor for about 2 years and they treated us so kindly. Everyone there always said hi and wherever we saw them.

They also have Saturday classes at 930. If you want great instruction and a great place to train definitely sign up. Is a very inclusive and welcoming jujitsu studio.“

“Love Dragonfit. My daughter has been going to them for years. Coach Jess and Master Matias are loving and awesome!“

“Incredible! Everyone here, from the instructors, to the owners are humble and want to help you out. I knew I wanted to be active but was not wanting to go to a traditional gym. Glad I stopped by and signed up. My favorite part is there are other people here in the same boat as me, looking to make a change and be around like minded individuals. There’s no pressure and you are never forced into contact or anything that makes you uncomfortable. It’s nice when your “no face hits” boundary is respected. 5 stars!“

“Great coaches and clean/modern facility. They make you feel welcomed and you get personal attention in class.“

“The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club.
But some secrets are too good to keep.

Family Fitness Karate in downtown Jersey City has become a quiet anchor in our week - a place where my two children are learning discipline, focus, and a kind of strength that isn’t loud but runs deep. Master Mike and every instructor carry themselves with grace, patience, and an understanding of how to guide kids not just in kicks and forms, but in life.

Fridays are special. Sparring night feels like something out of a storybook - electric, mysterious, full of energy and unspoken respect. And the Demo Team practices? Like being invited into a secret society, one where everyone bows in and belongs.

I’ve seen real change in my kids: more confidence, more calm, and a spark in their eyes that tells me they know they’re growing. Watching Petra bow to Master Mike as she received her belt - there was something quietly beautiful and deeply respectful in that moment.

I wasn’t going to say anything. But here I am, breaking the first rule. And I would do it again.“

“Have been coming here for years. Took a long break and just got back into it a couple months ago. Competed a placed all times!! Very old school way of teaching. No talking, laughing or fooling around in the class. (Which is a good thing considering you don't want to get hurt). Felix has been doing this for about 30 years and I understand why. I would definitely recommend parents, students to give him a chance. Also, if you're a beginner looking to move up the ladder in the judo world and get into big competitions this is the school for you.“

“Small school with incredible people and generations of students. Generational students means this school is doing it right. Highly recommend checking them out for your martial arts and self-defense interests!“

“Sensei George and Sensei Laura are great!My kids love them! This is the best martial arts school we've ever been to!“

“Cruz MMA offers a great environment in which to learn directly under a great master at the Art of fighting . What I like the most is you practice in real time not in theory , when you throw a kick or punch you will see what adjustments you have to make in order to delivery that . Coach Cruz is very knowledgeable and a student still of the history. Of martial arts it’s evident by one of his students who happens to be Alex Periera the current UFC champ . All his students now have access to things capable of a road to the UFC IF the student wishes . Amazing coaching , highly recommended !“

“Huge respect to Master Hilario. By training both our discipline and physical fitness, he has provided unconditional support and encouragement. Highly recommended if interested in learning martial arts!“
