“Best bjj in nyc by far. Always the best professors. The standard that this school has is up there. The training partners are always nice and care about each other. The blue basement is and will always be legendary. Not to mention, if you train here, you already know you're going to meet the top of the top in bjj AND in MMA since it's really close to MSG. So when there's big fights, top fighters usually come over for sparring. Overall 100/10“

“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!“

“We tried two other taekwondo places before we came here. The master is extremely friendly and helpful. My kids love here. In fact, my second son wants to become a taekwondo master when he grows up. Finally we found a great place to learn taekwondo.“

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with my son’s kendo lessons. Master Kim is patient, respectful, and incredibly skilled at working with children. He creates a structured yet encouraging environment that teaches not only kendo techniques, but also discipline, focus, confidence, and respect for others.

My son looks forward to every class and has grown so much — both physically and mentally — since starting. Master Kim takes the time to guide each student and make sure they feel supported, regardless of skill level. It’s clear he truly cares about the students and the art of kendo.

I highly recommend these lessons to any parent looking for a meaningful and enriching martial arts experience for their child.“

“This man helped me through a very hard time in my life which people try to ruin me. But just like a true man, he didn’t let anyone manipulate his thoughts and help me get started thank you Terry. You’re an amazing coach amazing man and no one can come close to you and dedication.“

“I honestly like it i feel brave strong and no longer weak my parents might have spent a lot money but im doing good my parents are agree with me as well and message is from Anthony cazares“

“Over the years I always wanted my kids to feel Inclusive and be able to socialize outside of school grounds and be active in a place they can feel comfortable and safe.

My eldest was a student of theirs and is always welcomed. My now 2nd child and other son has now entered. What I have always appreciate is the motivation and confidence they build into the children.

It feels welcoming to come in. Not just for students but also parents as well. The staff members are very helpful and respectful people. I would recommend it to my family and friends and everyone who does walk/drive/ or even Google this place up.“

“Jim is an outstanding martial arts instructor. He teaches with patience, discipline and respect. My son Gabriel improved his motor skills and gained confidence. We are grateful to have Jim as a role model to guide him.“

“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.“

“Amazing experience with inspiring instructors who help you understand, develop and build your skills and knowledge base on Master Bruce Lee’s unique teachings. JKD is helping my soul mind and body reach it’s true potential in the most simplified ways.“

“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.“

“Garden State Kendo is easily the best Kendo dojo in the Eastern U.S. This is a dedicated dojo with a long history where kenshi can practice nearly every day. Located conveniently in Palisades Park, it features many high level kenshi and an awesome master. I love the disciplined culture and the intensity of the practice here. I strongly recommend it to any serious kendoka looking for a traditional and challenging training environment!“

“Notorious is my second home! The energy and instruction level is second to none. We have a true family over here. I love it!! 3 generations on the mat at the same time. Mom loves it!! Lol“

“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.“

“Affordable and the union instructors are the best and world renown. I would recommend to all my friends, family and aqaintances. To survive in a nation of sheep, ruled by wolves, owned by pigs, you must become a lion...“

“Fantastic school and coach. Master Joe is great with kids and so is his assistant Miss Madison. My 5 year old girl looks forward to karate. Would highly recommend this Sidekicks!“
