Martial Arts Schools near Bound Brook

“Best place to train for all ages and skill levels. Master Al is the best in the business. New location is fantastic.“

“We have had such a wonderful experience at kickside martial arts. My son is on the autism spectrum, and from the very beginning the instructors truly met him where he is. They are patient, understanding, and incredibly encouraging, taking the time to help him learn at his own pace while still motivating him to grow.

What has meant the most to us is the way they have helped build his confidence. He feels proud of himself after each class, more motivated to try new things, and excited to keep improving. The structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement have made a huge difference for him.

Beyond the martial arts training, this studio has created a genuine sense of community. My son feels accepted, supported, and like he truly belongs. We are so grateful to be part of such a welcoming environment and highly recommend this studio to any family looking for more than just martial arts, but a place where kids are valued and encouraged to succeed.“

“Grand Master Lee is awesome. His teaching of Hapkido, breathing techniques and cardio training is fun and a great way towards a healthy lifestyle.“

“Our kids love TMMA. The masters are great in teaching taekwondo and motivating the kids with little stickers, but also pay attention to social skills as respect and values.Also, they strictly adhere to all Covid protocols, with small classes, masks, hand desinfection before/after the training etc.The lessons and belt tests can also be accessed via zoom, so parents (and other family members) can see how their kids progress.With every successfull belt test comes not only a new belt color, but also a trophy, which our kids are very proud of and love to display in their rooms. I can highly recommend this school!“

“Awesome place for kids and adults! I was iffy joining at first since MMA was so new to me, but everyone makes you feel very welcomed and included- I’ve been at Hybrid now for 2+ years and absolutely love going. If I could go everyday I would!! Master Mike the main instructor has great energy and is immensely helpful, kind, and encouraging. Him and other instructors push you to be better mentally and physically, and work closely with everyone to make sure they are doing moves correctly. Classes are always so much fun, a great workout, and different every time you go. I highly recommend Hybrid!!“

“I work a job that requires a lot of movement and lifting and the trainers have helped me learn the best ways to avoid injury. Highly recommend you check them out!“

“I was looking for a taekwondo academy for my child that felt personal and not like a factory churning out classes without building a relationship between teacher and student. Master Chun’s academy provides that personal atmosphere where you know your child won’t be overlooked. It is perfect for a parent who wants their child to learn TKD, not only for its physical benefits, but also to build discipline and develop character. I can’t say enough good things about Master Chun. He is a great combination of a strong leader who has high expectations for his students and a warm teacher who knows how to meet the students where they are. You won’t regret starting you or your child’s TKD journey with him!“

“I've been going here for almost eight years now and it's great for many reasons. You get to join a polity and welcoming community while getting into shape. Overall a great place to go to.“

“We absolutely love Satori Academy. Not only do my older children love it but my 3 and a half year old loves coming here so much! She learned so much already and just started in August!! She loves her senseis and coming to class! They made her feel welcomed and has so much fun each class! Thank you Sensei Nikita, Sensei Ryan, Sensei Layla and all of the senseis for making her feel at home!“

“BJJ is helping my son to build focus and self-discipline. Coach Pat has high but achievable expectations. He treats every child as if they are his own, and I can see that he wants them to grow their martial arts skills and succeed. Try a demo class.“

“My daughter has been a proud member of White Tiger Dojo for over seven years, and it remains one of her favorite places to be. As parents, we are incredibly grateful for the life lessons, confidence, and character building that Sensei Darren instills in his students. We’re so thankful she has found a place that, in her words, “feels like family.” It gives me great peace of mind knowing she has a supportive environment to learn, grow, and be mentored by someone who truly cares about his students’ development and well-being. Thank you, White Tiger Dojo, for being such a meaningful part of our daughter’s growth.“

“I feel all I really need to say is my son Casey has been going to this school for 12 YEARS! It is by far one of the best decisions we've made for him by far! The staff is incredible and extremely dedicated.“

“Master Israel is such a great master coming from one of his students. Not only has the taught me self discipline but he has taught me to love me and others ,treat others with kindness , respect, to always be aware, and so much more. I truly I’m so thankful for my parents bring me here. Master Israel is so amazing with his students even when he has a rough day he still puts a smile on his face and others . Not only teaching us martial arts but teaching us about the world and the obstacles it brings and helping us through them. Master Israel is there for all of us he really is amazing. He has made taeknowdo fun in so many ways, tells us the best stories and still gets what needs to be done. He has made taekwondo so much more than just some silly kicks and punches he has brought some much more to taekwondo while still add the original meaning and kicks/punches . You can tell how much he loves all his students and parents , only wanting the best for us . I’m so grateful and will always be grateful for him and taekwondo . Love you master Israel ???“

“I've been training with Kristen for the past few months and I am thrilled with the results! Her expertise and enthusiasm make each session both challenging and enjoyable. She always tailors the workouts to my personal goals and fitness level, and I've noticed significant improvements in my strength and stamina. Kristen’s positive attitude and encouragement really motivate me to push through even the toughest exercises. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a real change in their fitness journey. She's not just a trainer, but a true motivator and coach!“

“MAFL has been and continues to be, an invaluable growing-up experience for our children! Not only have they learned the skills in karate but the importance of kindness, sharing, friendship, teamwork, and wholesome values. It is amazing to see our children level-up in their karate skills and to see how excited they get when they learn new things and how they are always happy to see their classmates and teachers. Master and Mrs B. are great teachers in and out of the class - and their commitment to supporting the community is outstanding!“

“Amazing instructors who really care about the success and improvement of their students. A true credit to ATA and martial arts as a whole.“

“FMA is on another level when it comes to Martial Arts studios for littles and adults!

The instructors are highly skilled, they are passionate about teaching, connect in a special way with every student, always challenging the students to push the boundaries and be their best, while nurturing them and creating a comfortable environment where respect for themselves and others are central. Our children’s and our own confidence and perseverance have been significantly improved since we joined FMA.

As if all that were not enough, the FMA community is truly special. All students support each other and it’s beautiful to see all the friendships that form and strengthen with every practice, every competition and every event. We never thought of Martial Arts as a “team sport”, but seeing how everyone supports each other, celebrate each others victories and gather together to uplift anyone who needs it during the regional and national competitions is one of my favorite things in the FMA community!

We love our Ms Amber, Ms McKensie, Master Freeman and now Mr Joey. And of course, Mr Shakoor whom we’ll always be grateful to for his influence on our kids. Their positive impact on our family is something we cherish every day. So when searching for a martial arts studio, look no further, Freedom Martial Arts!“
