Cannot express enough how grateful we are to see our child's INNER strength grow from EMA. Mindset is a key muscle they focus on which for us was essential, more so than physical strength. There is so much dedication from every one of the staff here that it feels like family. Amongst themselves they too exhibit the utmost professionalism and respect. Stop in once to visit and notice how you feel when you leave. Please don't hesitate to reach out should you have any questions!

I can’t say enough good things about EMA. Enrolling my daughter here is by far the best decision we have ever made for her! She started out very shy and quiet, and thanks to the wonderful instructors here, she has gained so much confidence and now speaks loud and proud. They truly care about each student here. My daughter used to spend a lot of time on the computer and now comes home and practices the moves she learned in class for fun. She looks forward to karate each week and enjoys the fun events they host at the dojo as well. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Our children love attending this school and we are so happy to see the growth in them since they began. The instructors are patient, kind and of course highly skilled at martial arts but also with TEACHING in general. They are able to develop positive relationships and engage children while challenging them to do their best. Keep up the great work you are making a difference everyday ❤️ 🙌 ! !

Awesome school, amazing instructors, all positive upbeat and inspiring. My son absolutely loves it, best choice we ever made. While he's growing he's acquiring that confidence within himself and it also umbrellas out to all the other aspects in his life simultaneously. So hes bringing that confidence forward from one area to all. Jack is very happy to be part of this team and i'm even happier for him!

Elite Martial Arts has been a game changer in my sons behavior ever since he joined 2 years ago. The staff and everyone there have been fabulous! Thank you for all the hard work, dedication and commitment to each and every child. I definitely recommend Elite Martial Arts to anyone searching for an all around school and help in giving your child the confidence and focus they need to succeed.

Our daughter Emily has been here for about a year now. After a trying couple of years due to COVID (and after moving 1,000 miles away), it has truly has helped Emily gain some much needed confidence. Most importantly, her attention span and motor tics have improved significantly as well. Everyone that works here is so kind and patient with the children and it shows. Sensei Ryan is definitely one of Emily’s favorite humans on the planet. Enroll your kids here— you won’t be disappointed.

My son joined EMA when he was 7 years old. This school has helped turn him into a respectful and confident young man. He is more physically fit and his self confidence has greatly improved. I saw how amazing my son did at EMA that I signed my daughter up and she has come such a long way with her attitude and behavior. She is more disciplined at home and her coordination has gotten so much better. Every instructor at EMA is 100% dedicated to each student they work with. I recommended this school to anyone interested in starting their child in karate. EMA ROCKS!!

I was worried my son would never have an interest in anything other than his ipad and video games. When he attended a friends birthday party at EMA Academy he asked if he can give karate a try. I got so excited he showed an interest in something that I signed him up for a trial. After the first few classes he was hooked. The instructors are amazing with the kids. They know how to boost the kids morale, make them excited about being there, learning the techniques, and over all encourages the kids to feel confident in their every day lives. My son loves attending EMA Academy and I'm so thrilled he found something he truly enjoys.

I LOVE Elite Martial Arts!!! It taught me so much Karate and Discipline. I now learned how to protect myself if someone tries to hurt or offend me. I think this karate school is wonderful. The lessons are great and the instructors are THE BEST! This school has taught me more than just karate. It has taught me very valuable life skills I need. I enjoy being a part of EMA. - Samvi Raj

Elite martial arts is a great place! Both my son and daughter enjoy it very much. They are very fun and friendly. Totally recommend!!

Great confidence booster for my daughter and a great staff. I can’t wait for my son to be old enough to join as well. Very highly recommended and I’m extremely happy with everything my daughter is learning.

I love that EMA isn’t just a great place to learn self defense, but they help develop my daughter’s senses of confidence, respect, importance of education, and so much more.

EMA is absolutely the best place for kids Karate in NJ. The instructors are incredibly helpful and create a positive and nurturing learning environment. They prioritize discipline, respect, and self confidence, helping students develop valuable life skills. The facility is clean and well-maintained. Our kids are training here for about 5 years and still going strong. They just love this place.

This school is like a second home for my kids. The staff here treat us like family. My kids have been going here for the past seven years. I love the fact that they make you work for your next belt and don’t just hand them out. My children have learned to be more confident, learn self-discipline, and handle tough situations.

I have so many positive things to say about the program and the instructors. My daughter is enrolled in the Krav Maga program. I have seen her become stronger and more confident as a result. This program is excellent for self-defense and the instructors offer encouragement and support. The self-defense drills are practical in nature. If I could give this program six stars, I would. Highly recommend!

Elite Martial Arts is the best karate school around and has been a great thing for our son. The senseis are friendly and know how to interact with the kids. They are very knowledgeable and have a great ability to bring out the best in children of all levels and abilities. They have earned the respect of many, especially our son! He loves his instructors and his team. Thank you Elite Martial Arts!

The best thing I like about this martial arts school are the instructors. They are friendly and know how to make learning fun for the kids. Another plus point of this school is definitely its location, It’s right across Costco and conveniently located with plenty of parking.

This place is the best. Watching my daughter grow in her class has been wonderful. I can see her get more confident by the day. Deshi Amanda is an amazing role model and teacher.

This is the BEST martial arts school for your kids! The instructors are absolutely amazing & they truly care about every single one of their students. We have been going to Elite Martial Arts for over three years now and I can not express just how grateful I am to them for the positive impact they have had on my son during his time here. They have become like family to us!

Best in the World, my little started at 5 he’s 12 now and loves it , it’s an awesome art development for your child towards his mannerism , respect, and dedication to life & self defense when needed

This is an amazing school that teaches discipline, respect, physical agility, and focus to kids of all ages. This truly is a Black Belt School. Friendly and dedicated instructors are always professional and provide maximum training during each and every class. I am grateful to EMA for all their hard work and highly recommend this school to any parents who wants to see their child succeed and learn a great deal about the martial arts. Thank you EMA!!! You are awesome!!!

Our son has been with Elite Martial Arts since December 2021. The experience that we have had here has been nothing but the best. Our son has gained so much strength and confidence. The respect that the children learn in every class is priceless. This is honestly the best martial arts academy and a true Black Belt school! I would 100% recommend Elite Martial Arts to anyone who is considering it for their children.

The name says it all! Elite Martial Arts Academy is an amazing martial arts school that focuses on supporting and guiding their students as they grow into amazing young men and women on their journey to Black Belt. Even more impressive is that they’ve set that bar just as high for themselves as instructors and mentors. Enrolling my daughter and son in the program has without a doubt been one of the best decisions we could have made for them. From the moment you walk in, the school is one of the most friendly and welcoming environments you’ll ever experience. Beyond the confidence, physical skills, self-discipline and respect the program builds, it’s amazing to see the kids smiling on the mat with friends and having fun!

I can not say enough wonderful things about EMA. It was the best decision we made to enroll our son here. He has gained so much confidence, and looks forward to each class. The entire staff is so patient and kind. They truly care about each student. EMA is an amazing place!!!

EMA are amazing. My daughter loves it and we do too. They are the most caring and professional martial art family. Amazing techniques , discipline and self self defense. All done with love. We are so glad our daughter and us are pet if this amazing family. Thank you for all you do EMA!!

EMA and their staff are simply amazing. The staff are a group of the most positive people who truly care about their students. We took our son Justin to EMA as a result of a bullying situation. Our perception was that he needed to know how to physically defend himself. Our son's experience with EMA was far more than just learning to physically defend himself. His confidence, kindness and discipline has grown beyond measures. Most impressively EMA has helped Justin develop an ability to deal with conflict without the need to be physical because he has become that confident. He is now physically fit and Justin likes who he has become. We cannot say enough about how wonderful EMA and their staff are. EMA was certainly worth the investment in our son.

The Elite staff is simply amazing! They actually care about their up and coming black belts! Our grandson has been training here for the past two years and we are always pleasantly pleased when we see him apply the values he has learned on the mat in the classroom. We are truly blessed to have him be a member of the Elite Community. Thank you for all you do Elite Martial Arts Academy!!

Great school, great instructors. I have seen big change in my daughter's behavior, strength and mind. She became very positive. Overall great great great school.

I can’t say enough good things! I seen really positive changes in my son and we are so happy that he is a part of the EMA family. He joined for about a year and learned so much. The instructors are some of the most incredible and patient people who makes all the kids feel seen and have a way to bring the best out of each and everyone. By far the best decision a parent can make for their child is to bring them to Elite Martial Arts!

Elite Martial Arts is an exceptionally well run academy!!! Our daughter has been training here for over 6 years now and we have witnessed her growth first hand in all areas. The instructors and management here truly care and are always there to help. Our daughter looks forward to her weekly classes and we could not have been more pleased. Huge kudos to the entire team at Elite Martial Arts Academy!!!! :)

My son has been coming to Elite for some time now and loves it! He’s gotten so much more out of it than just a karate education so far. He’s become more disciplined, dedicated, confident and I can see that progress as he learns more and practices.The staff is always extremely welcoming and friendly. I’d recommend Elite to anyone looking for an experience for their child to learn and grow as an individual. It’s the best investment you can make.

I was at Elite Martial Arts for about 4 years and earned my senior black belt. Let me just say, I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them. Not only did they teach me how to effectively defend myself and become self-disciplined, but they have also taught me some of the most important lessons of my life, preparing me for my future. They have built this beautiful, welcoming family at EMA, I always felt right at home. They are amazing! 100% recommend enrolling your kids here, for a lifetime of wisdom! Keep up the good work guys, miss you!

Hello EMA , I am so greatly happy to have joined EMA for my son.. He love being in the karate class. Now he is getting more confident, getting stronger, self motivated, always in think fucos of mind, eyes and body and most of all discipline. Because of all of the EMA staff my boy learn more in a positive manner.. You guys are amazing.. Thank you to all the staff specifically to Sensei Hany, Sensei Ryan and Sensei Kailyn.. You guys are great 👍 ❤

2 years ago I left a 5 star review but didn’t leave a written review. My son started in 2017 he is going to take his Jr Black Belt test this weekend. Elite has not only taught my son karate but has helped him in his self confidence. They definitely take a personal interest in all the students. They push you when you need it but they also give you all the support they can when you need it. The instructors have been phenomenal and have helped shape my son into a strong young man. I am very thankful for the support and encouragement that they have given him over the years! If thinking of putting your child in Karate you will not be disappointed at Elite

My son has been going to Elite Martial Arts for about 7 months. When he first started, he was very shy. He is definitely making progress with his self-confidence. The place is clean and organized. Wonderful teachers and staff who are going above and beyond. My son loves his teachers and has a lot of respect for them. As a parent, I see the progress that my son is making and very glad we have found Elite Martial Arts.

EMA will bring out your child's full potential! My daughter has been training here for about 2 years and every class I am amazed at the person she has become! Her entire demeanor has done a 180. This is a testimony to the schools staff who consistently support, encourage and skillfully navigate her mental and physical growth. You child's confidence will sky rocket all while giving parents the piece of mind that they have the needed skills to defend themselves, if needed. So grateful for the EMA school and staff!

EMA has been the best decision we’ve made for our boy. We started our son at 4yrs old, hoping to keep him active, focused and interested and EMA has proven to give us all of that, and more. Being able to watch him learn moves and grow confidence (while having fun!) during each class is awesome. We’ve been with EMA almost 2 years now and know we are all part of the family here, familiar faces and a comfort level that we appreciate so much. Thank You so much for all you do! ELITE FUTURE BLACK BELT!

Elite is an amazing place to send your kids. After a year of sending my daughter we have seen such improvements in her. She is speaking up more, making more eye contact, and overall has a confidence about her which I attribute to her time with Elite. Not only do the teach karate but they incorporate social skills, respect, and self- discipline which easily carries over into home and school. In addition, they have truly made us feel like family and welcome. If there is a hardship that we are experiencing I am not afraid to share with them. They have always openly listened and provided solutions to address it. We truly love it here!

After spending a lot of time looking for the perfect martial arts school, we can see that we made the right choice in sending my two sons to Elite. My boys are always excited to hear that they have a class to go to. The entire Elite staff has does a wonderful job teaching them valuable lessons for on the mat and in life. One of the best lessons my kids are learning is that not everything is given and that if you want something you have to earn it.

We have going to class since my son was in kindergarten and we have been here for 2years and plan on staying on until he receives his junior belt and then his senior black belt. The instructors are great and really work with the students to see them achieve their goals in class and in life

We are so happy with Elite Martial Arts Academy. Our son has attended for almost 4 years. He has grown in so many areas. He has learned to have confidence, self discipline, respect and body control. The staff at EMA are always positive and they are great role models for the kids. EMA rocks!

Much overdue review – 3+ years ago we decided to enroll our son at EMA with hopes to boost his confidence and learn self-control. EMA staff gave us what we hoped for and more. Over a year ago we signed up our daughter, who is a complete opposite from her big brother. She needed self-discipline and respect. Yet again EMA didn’t disappoint. We love the school, its extremely passionate staff and everything they have to offer. We love it so much that both my wife and I joined the adult classes. It is a true family affair now and we couldn’t be happier!

EMA is a great place with a nice facility. The instructors are attentive and focus on discipline and positive reinforcement. My girls continue to enjoy their journey to black belt!!! Thank you Elite Martial Arts for all that you do!

Such a great school for so many reasons! I can’t count how many things it’s taught me in martial arts. I go there for summer camp and it is by far the best camp I’ve ever been to!

EMA is the best! Instructors and staff are awesome. We could not ask for a better karate school. Thank you EMA for all your hard work and dedication.

A real family run business with amazing instructors who go above and beyond to make sure each child’s needs are being met. After seeing my first sons progress, I was delighted when my daughter and older son also wanted to join the EMA team.

This academy is an excellent place for young people to gain self confidence as well as physical fitness. The teachers and staff are terrific with dealing with the groups. They are all held in high esteem by students and parents alike.

Great place , friendly staff , convenient location We like this place

Elite Martial Arts Academy is more than an excellent self-defense program. It is a school of life. And we mean it. Our sons started the school 7 years ago when they were only 5, and the growth we have seen is way more than in their physical abilities. Beyond achieving their junior black belt, the program has had an incredible impact on building their confidence, focus, resiliency, and respect for others. If you're looking for a school to prepare your children for what's ahead in their lives - how to overcome adversity, how to deal with bullying, how to say 'no' to bad influences, how to stay mentally strong and positive in life - come to Elite Martial Arts Academy. The instructors are very focused on motivating our kids on and off-the-mat. They will leave each session inspired and more able to reach their fullest potential. - Tom and Magdalena Blaziak

awesome i became a black belt thair and still am and always will be

EMA is an amazing karate school that teaches self discipline and respect. I’ve been a student here for over three years and it has an AMAZING black belt training course. This school has not only taught me important life skills, but it has also taught me self defense and other ways to defend myself. The instructors here are also the best of the best. This is truly an Elite school, and I am extremely thankful to be part of an amazing school. - Annika Raj

Very happy that we found this place! The teachers are wonderful, facility, and everything about EMA is really great!

This is such a wonderful martial schools. Instructor are phenomenal, they truly care for their students AND the families. We love their open door policy and the new dojo. EMA you rock!

EMA is a great academy and great instructors , they are patient , have a big knowledge My daughter loves attending classes Very helpful staff , easy to communicate and they always listening to you and trying their best to make everyone happy.

Our daughter has been a student at EMA for almost 4 years now. She started right before her 5th birthday. I’ll never forget her first class with Deshi Kailyn. I was literally in tears (tears of joy & amazement) as I was completely overwhelmed and in awe of her patience, her instant ability to gain her respect and undivided attention. I knew then that enrolling our daughter in EMA was one of the best decisions we could make as parents. The positive effect and influence the staff at EMA has had on our daughter is invaluable. From the confidence, respect and self discipline that they have instilled in her, the happy birthday phone calls, the calls checking in when she’s not feeling well to their dedication and passion EMA has by far exceeded our expectations. Sensei Hany, Sensei Ryan, Deshi Amanda, Deshi Kailyn, Deshi Franco and Deshi Derek are the best role models you can ask for. EMA You guys are awesome! Thank you!!

Our family has benefitted from the positive characteristics taught to our two kids in the Karate and Krav Maga programs. Through the organized and flexible scheduling we are able to attend classes regularly. The kids enjoy a constantly changing curriculum from learning about taking pride, perseverance, respect, focus, and many more skills to physical fitness through fun activities.

Great instructors!!! I would encourage everyone to try these classes, great workout and the instructors are fantastic!!!

I joined EMA in April for Krav Maga classes and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. The staff is phenomenal; friendly, focused, professional, and knowledgeable. The classes are the best workouts all while learning to defend yourself against the worst-case scenario. I feel more confident knowing I can protect myself in this scary world. You can’t put a price on safety! Thank you EMA!

In the short time that my son has been here he has grown so much I credit it to his amazing teachers and faculty. they really do take their time to listen to his needs as well as the needs of the entire class which says a lot. They are amazing and I highly recommend taking your kids here.

Great workout. Wonderful staff and helpful environment. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun workout

Amazing place, very polite and qualified staff . My son loves karate.

I started taking their Krav Maga class. They have great instructors that are very experienced, the classes have great workouts and the curriculum has taught me essential self defense techniques.

Very knowledgeable Staff and great please to learn Martial arts Family oriented and safe environment for kids

EMA is a great place for your child to learn discipline, teamwork, and confidence. My son has been going there from a little over a year now, and because of the lessons learned from EMA, he has been able to handle different situations at school. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Great place for kids !!! Deshi’s & Sensei’s are great with the kids !!

Thank you Elite Martial Arts for being such a positive impact in Gabe's life! He has learned so much and continues to grow in every class. The instructors and staff awesome!! Plus, their class schedule can work for many parent's.

Elite Martial Arts has helped my son build confidence, respect, character and determination as well as skills in self defense, which is priceless. This is done through exceptional instructors who are more than well qualified to teach martial arts. They are caring, sensitive to each individual's needs, accommodating, patient and always have time to listen. They have definitely exceeded my expectations.

Love Elite Martial Arts !! The staff, the Deshi’s and the Sensei’s are amazing with the kids, always positive and encouraging. The entire staff demonstrates such a great spirit of community and they infuse it into the students in all they do. Great Job guys !!
