    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!!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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!!!! :)

    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.

  • 5/5 LaKeisha P. 10 months ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Dawn M. 10 months ago on Google
    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!

    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!

    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.

  • 5/5 rosemary c. 10 months ago on Google
    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

  • 5/5 Areeba M. 1 year ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Jacqueline D. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

    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!

  • 5/5 Brenda R. 1 year ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Melissa G. 1 year ago on Google
    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!!!

  • 5/5 Jean N. 1 year ago on Google
    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!!

  • 5/5 Maria B. 1 year ago on Google
    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 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!

  • 5/5 Terri-Ann 1 year ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Florina 4 years ago on Google
    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!!!
