This school came so clutch today. I got to my usual gym and found out open mat was cancelled. A google search led me here, and I’m glad it did. I liked that the location was kinda in the cut, but not too far from whatever you may need. They let me in, were welcoming, and trained safely. Got beat up for a couple rounds; glad I was able to get some work in.

I trained at NJMA over the summer and really enjoyed my experience here! The coaches, Marco and Bill, always gave detailed instruction with various situational nuances. It was clear that they love what they do, and are committed to effectively training their students. They really pushed everyone to put forth their best effort and I felt that there was a collective drive to improve. I also appreciated that I had great training partners who were dedicated and hardworking. I recommend this gym for anyone who wants to challenge themselves and improve their grappling!

Last weekend I was invited to a workout/open mat by my buddy Dan. If you ever meet Dan you will know he is coming as the solar eclipse begins and he blocks out the sun as he arrives. Given his size and the place being an MMA gym I was a bit cautious going in. When I arrived they had Christmas music going for my daughter. The work out was great as was the mat time. What was best was the conversation. We talked about how great it is to see young kids doing so well on the mats. Given my back ground as a gym teacher, this made me feel like I was talking to genuine caring people. The head instructor obviously knows how to surround himself with good people. I highly recommend you visit this spot if your into Martial arts.

I had an incredible experience at New Jersey Martial Arts! From the moment I walked in, the environment was welcoming, friendly, and open to newcomers of all ages and skill levels. Marco, the owner, went above and beyond by allowing me to enjoy a free class (3 to be exact) with absolutely zero pressure—just pure encouragement and a great introduction to their training. The atmosphere is positive and supportive, making it the perfect place for anyone looking to start or continue their martial arts journey. Whether you’re a beginner or have experience, this is a place where you’ll feel comfortable and motivated to improve. Highly recommend checking it out!
