Family Fitness Karate & Kickboxing - Downtown Jersey City

Fantastic experience: Since he began learning karate at Family Fitness Karate & Kickboxing, my child has improved in school work, overall behavior, and self confidence.

Fantastic experience: Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing are the absolute best! My nine year old daughter loves going to class, especially on Fridays when she gets to spar with her friends. What I love most about Family Fitness is that they teach real fighting and self defense techniques, like in MMA. Thank you Master Vinh, Jerry, and the rest of the staff for being awesome!

Fantastic experience: They really treat the children and parents for that matter like extended family. We have been attending for the past 2 1/2 years and love it. My son has learned so much and his confidence is growing. I know that was a direct influence from the school.

Fantastic experience: I love this place!!! my daughter started a year an half ago, she was super shy, she wouldn’t talk and she was kept to herself, but this place has given her so much confidence, she feels really comfortable here, I love the training they give to the kids, they always active and the teachers are the best!! Recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: Honestly the downtown jersey city Family Fitness Karate & Kickboxing location is AMAZING! Master Mike and the rest of our kids mentors are awesome. They learn a lot each day they go! We had the pleasure of having our sons birthday party with family and friends. Both coaches hosting were amazing with all of our guests, especially the cake cutting moment. That was an above and beyond experience that our son will never forget. I would definitely recommend all services offered by Karate Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Family Fitness Kickboxing is , a family. They create a safe space for kids to learn and develop in a healthy manner. They teach respect to one another and respect to humanity. They value family and are very welcoming. They truly celebrate life. Family fitness is definitely a place worth the investment.

Fantastic experience: My son began attending the center this year and he by far has grown in discipline, skill, and cognition! He was even awarded Student of the Month at his elementary school because of his excellent attitude, discipline, and his fine conduct he now displays. This is all due to the wonderful guidance and leadership of Master Mike @ Family Fitness !

Fantastic experience: I’m not a student yet but, I went to Family Fitness Karate And Kickboxing gym, to sign up and so far I feel really good about it and tomorrow I have my trial, so I can check out the training!I’m exited!!!

Fantastic experience: This was the best decision for my son and they helped teach with calming down his hyperactive behavior. My son loves it.

Fantastic experience: We absolutely LOVE the school and the instructors. Master Mike and the rest of the staff are amazing with the kids. Professional and caring. They have become a part of our family. Would recommend this school to everyone.

Fantastic experience: I love this school I am so glad I enrolled my son he has been attending 8months on his 4th belt my son is on the spectrum of autism and the excepted him with open arms it has help my son focus more we see a change in him at school and at home He loves the challenges that they give him Master Mike and everyone are awesome !! I would recommend this karate school to anyone who maybe interested

Fantastic experience: Don't let the fact that they also do kids Taekwondo fool you - the adult classes are very challenging and will push you hard. There is a focus on strength and conditioning, which really sets this place apart from martial arts places that focus on technique alone but don't actually get you in shape enough to make use of it. In about 10 months of going here I lost about 25 pounds and have gotten more cardiovascularly fit and stronger.

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing, memorable 5th birthday party for my daughter at the Central Ave location. Everything was done for us - set up/clean up, the colorful balloon decorations were perfect! The team had non-stop fun activities for almost 30 kids for 2 WHOLE HOURS!!!! It was awesome to see all the kids having so much fun! Best part was when my daughter cut her cake with a Samurai sword!! This is the best deal for birthday parties around! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Believe me the Family Fitness Karate Kick Boxing its a top notch operation from the facility to the staff. It's a great place for our children to learn how to protect themselves and be respectful. therefore, I will keep my son here as long as I can! Johane Celestin

Fantastic experience: I couldn't say enough high praise for Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing. My son has been with the little dragons program and it has helped mold his interpersonal skills, discipline and helped him to be focused in everything that he does.

Fantastic experience: Hey guys I gave them 5 stars because they deserve it, worth it . they are very friendly staff The manager is very helpful schedule fits everyone so can’t miss any classes my kids love you guys and love the sport because of you

Positive experience: I have nothing but amazing things to say about Family Fitness MMA. My daughters, ages 6 and 3, are enrolled at the downtown location in the little dragons program and we are totally in love with it. Master Mike and his team of teachers is warm but firm with the kids. They train them to be confident, responsible, respectful and disciplined. My girls have gotten so much more athletic after attending their sessions. My older one is tested on similar exercises in her P.E class at her school and used to find them challenging last year, but doesn't anymore. I would recommend Family Fitness wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking for a fitness/mixed martial arts/ taekwondo/ karate class for their kids.

Fantastic experience: Great martial arts instructors! Very professional! Have no regrets I enrolled my kid. Now he has better confidence, and is learning a lot as far as defending himself is concerned. Family Fitness Karate & kickboxing had its way in instilling discipline in my kid. One easily gets bullied in school and elsewhere because he hardly have confidence in himself. FAMILY FITNESS KARATE & KICKBOXING can sure do something about it.

Fantastic experience: My son has been attending the downtown location for a few months and he absolutely loves it! The instructors are all amazing, the kids always have a great time.

Fantastic experience: My son is hyper, has a lot of energy and this is a perfect place for kids to vent out their energy. It’s not good because it helps him vent out his energy but his helped him with his focus and channelize that energy in a right way too. Mater Mike and the instructors are very nice and friendly but yet firm with all the kids, which I like.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to release the stress look no further, Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing can provide that and much more! The way Master Mike engages makes you challenge your self. He makes sure the students learn the technique for every exercise in a way for them not to get hurt. In the few months I’ve been taking the class I've seen my body change in a broad way unlike when I was going to the GYM for a year. I was able to finally see some inches off my body, not just lbs but also muscle gain. If you decide to give it a try, get ready to learn how to take a hit, have a stronger more toned body, shed some pounds, have a better stamina, have discipline, make friends and the icing on the cake learn self defense. Overall I love this place and all the personnel. It really carries the name and makes me feel like family. Thank you Master Mike, Master Vinh, Miss Alexis, Mr. Jerry, Mr Shawn.

Fantastic experience: My son has been taking classes for 2 years now and he likes it but I LOVE IT! Master Mike and the other teachers are super amazing and very caring. They are always willingly to work with a student one on one to ensure they understand the technique. This place is just so family oriented, just amazing

Fantastic experience: We love being a part of the FFMA family! Master Mike is amazing at the downtown location. He really develops a bond and gets to know the kids really well. My two daughters are feeling more confident and really getting a chance to feel empowered. All the instructors involve the kids in the classes from counting during the drills to takedown techniques. We are so happy to have found FFMA!

Fantastic experience: I've been going for 3 months now and it's a amazing stress reliever! I feel so much more healthier both mentally and physically over the months and loving the continued progress. Master Mike is great, he really engages you to challenge yourself and patiently helps you learn the techniques correctly. Honestly, if my work schedule was really flexible, I'd go a lot more frequently during the week :3

Fantastic experience: They offer a good fitness program for kids with really nice staff. As a parent, I really appreciate the flexible schedule which allows juggling with other programs my kids are in. Besides the main program, the summer camp worked just perfect for us.

Fantastic experience: Master mike is an awesome instructor. He makes you workout on your core strength and pushes your harder. The results that I have seen are fabulous. Its so much better than doing doing the same old gym workout and everyday there will be something new. The batches are not that big either so you almost get kind of a personal training session. I would definitely recommend you to join.

Fantastic experience: Our son is a very active boy. We enrolled him in Family Fitness Karate because we know he needs to have self-discipline and control. Also, we want him to know how to defend himself. Since he started public school last September 2017, he usually wanted to go to school and school or school like setting was not new to him. But all of a sudden, he didn't want to go to school anymore. I asked him why and he told me that there was a boy who was bothering him. Yes, he is active and he has all his faults but he never wanted to fight back when he is pushed or punched or kicked. That's when my husband said that he needs karate lessons. Since learning karate, I learned got a call from his teacher one day saying that he kicked somebody. So when I picked him up from school, I asked him what happened and he said another child was bothering him and he asked him to stop many times and he didn't. When the other boy pushed him, that's when he kicked and he never stopped kicking until the boy was down. Until the end of the school year, the boy never bothered him anymore. :)

Fantastic experience: My daughter loves going to class! The location is very convenient and there is tons of parking. The staff is also very friendly and accomodating.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been practicing martial arts with the adult group at Central Ave Family Fitness Karate and Kickboxing for the past two years and my son – 8 years old- is “on the mat” for more than 4 years. The first thing I would say is that if you are consistent, you will improve your physical condition significantly because every class starts with calisthenics, body conditioning, cardio and strength. I have lost around 15 pounds since I started and strengthened my body and abilities significantly! Second, the teachers are extremely experienced, they are great at pushing you to be better, and they can address a wide range of issues when you need advice. The place is great for kids and there are many kids including my son who have achieved Black Belts or other significant achievements. Third, the martial arts techniques are rich and include elements of Muay Thai, karate, kick boxing, boxing, some grappling and for the higher ranks real self-defense classes like knife defense. Much more comprehensive tools than one single method like karate or Taekwondo. And last, practicing at this Dojo is much more than just punching and kicking or being in shape. It’s also about a healthy life style -like what we eat- and what it means to be a respectful person who strives do the best he can. My goal is to keep this life style forever! Ari Perez, Esq

Fantastic experience: My 5 year old son is a member of Family Fitness K and really enjoys going to class as he learns new techniques every session. He has been going for a few months now and is currently a black and white belt. Not only are the sessions great but the staff here are wonderful! Master Mike and everyone else makes you feel like family. They are very attentive with the children and have great communication skills with them when they are not paying attention. They know how to make everyone feel welcome and always there to answer all my questions. They have many events that brings family together which is why I am glad that my son and I are part of this wonderful place. Recently my son had his 5th bday party here and Master Mike and Jerry were a big part of his celebration as they had each children participate in tug of war, dodgeball, and my baby boy broke a piece of wood with his hand and knee which the children found astonishing! My son was able to hold a real life sword as well. Overall, great place, great people and its all about FAMILY!

Fantastic experience: We have nothing but good things to say about fkk. We have seen out daughter blossom and become more confident after every single class. Master Mike you’re the man!

Fantastic experience: I am very happy that I decided to enroll my son in karate kickboxing. When he first joined the class he was very very shy. As time has gone by I have seen such a big difference in his self confidence. He enjoys coming and learning. The teachers are awesome. They are very patient and they work great with the kids.

Fantastic experience: Great for kids to work out

Fantastic experience: My son has been a member of the dojo since he was 4 years old. He is now 8 years old. From the first day, we have been treated like family. Master Vinh, Master Mike, and all of the instructors have been a huge part of the development of my son's personality; assisting me in instilling respect, confidence, morality, integrity, kindness, dedication, and determination. I have recommended the dojo to other moms and am delighted to see their children excel in the same ways that my child has. Thank you Family Fitness team for all that you do for us!
