Martial Arts Schools near Lincroft

“US Black Belt is such an amazing environment for young kids. They are extremely supportive, professional, and fun. We highly recommend!!“

“Our family had a wonderful experience at Ambition Martial Arts with Professor James Noto. My son trained there for about three years, and my daughter also .
The biggest difference we saw was in our son's confidence, discipline, focus, and behavior. The training taught him much more than martial arts—it helped him develop respect, perseverance, self-control, and valuable life skills. He learned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, and kickboxing, while also gaining practical self-defense skills in a positive and encouraging environment.
Professor James Noto is an outstanding instructor who genuinely cares about his students. He knows how to challenge children while also making them feel supported and motivated. The atmosphere at the academy is respectful, family-friendly, and focused on helping every student grow both on and off the mat. We highly recommend Professor James Noto and his team to any parent looking for a place where their child can build confidence, discipline, character, and strong martial arts skills. Thank you for everything!“

“We absolutely love Master parks Black belt America of Marlboro. Instructors are very patient and encourage kids. Our daughter gained focus and confidence after joining here.“

“Black Belt America of Hazlet is a fantastic place for children to learn martial arts. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in each student’s growth. The curriculum keeps kids engaged, motivated, and excited to learn while building confidence, discipline, and respect. Watching how positively the children respond to the program has been amazing. My only regret is not signing my child up sooner! Highly recommend to any parent looking for a positive and enriching activity for their child.“

“My child attends Master Kang’s Taekwondo, and we truly love it. The instructor connects incredibly well with the kids — he knows how to joke and keep classes fun while still maintaining strong discipline.

I especially appreciate that he teaches important values like respect and goal setting, encouraging the kids to work hard and show their energy with confidence. It’s more than just martial arts — it’s about building character. Highly recommend!“

“For any newcomer in the area, I won’t pretend to be the most well traveled however I’ve travelled enough to say this is a high quality gym with:

Great Instruction
Well Run Class
Organized Structure
Beginner-Competitive Skill Levels
Wonderful Atmosphere

If I were to give anyone an example of what a community oriented Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts Training Center should look like: this would be it.“

“Great people, great time! If you're into jiujitsu or just wanna have fun working out, come on by!!“

“What a wonderful experience for my six year old son. The facility is clean and the owners truly care about each family. Mr. Colin and Ms. Jackie are patient, kind and encouraging.“

“Such a great bunch of people, especially coach Fatjo and his staff!!! So happy we chose this place to come and learn BJJ and Muay Thai!!!“

“We left for a bit but when my kids wanted to restart , it was a no brainer! We are back and very happy. Sensei Evenson has an amazing team and I know my kids will learn at their pace -within a safe environment.“

“Professor Jon is a fantastic instructor with very deep technical knowledge. The school has a very friendly and welcoming community of students who are all great to train with. If you are thinking of trying out jiujitsu, definitely try this gym!“

“Do yourself a favor and start training at USNT. The masters are very nice and expert in Taekwondo. They will help you learn Korean martial arts. You won’t regret it.“

“Everything about this dojo is first class I genuinely love it here!The members all treat it like a home & Sensei is extremely approachable?“

“I’ve only stepped foot in a Karate Studio twice in my life! And they were both this week to watch my son try the Little Dragon class (4-7yr olds) and I have to say I was so impressed! Charles was knowledgeable, great with kids & has lots of fun games up his sleeve to keep the kids moving. I actually teared up because he was so CLEAR with every instruction - and I watched my son (who’s tried like 5 sports) at 5 yrs old focus more and respect the coach more than he ever has. That’s a dream for a mother, especially one that was a lifelong athlete like I was. He begged to go back after he got his white belt, and of course it’s a YES! Trials are free, highly recommend, parking across the street, very flexible class options on Wickapecko in Ocean Township.“
