My son took the trial classes for Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and was hooked. ECMMA has given my son the confidence, mindset, and skills that most people do not even possess. Then, my wife started taking Sparring classes and Kickboxing where fitness and health became her daily routine. Soon, my youngest son and I followed by taking BJJ classes, along with my daughter who took the same classes with her mom. All the instructors/coaches are dedicated in helping every member to achieve their growth and development, and reach their full potential through fitness and confidence, which is priceless. ECMMA is a family oriented gym, yet also produces competitive home grown athletes from surrounding local schools. ECMMA also added 6am BJJ classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Once in a while, ECMMA also invites instructors and athletes from different gyms as guests to give tutorials. The facility has two open mat areas, shower, and a weight room that is located in the basement. If I can start learning BJJ at 43 years old, then everyone can - it's all due to the support and guidance of each instructors. Our family have planted our flag here in ECMMA and we invite everyone to experience the positive vibes and energy, while building a better version of yourself through fitness and health.

My 7 year old daughter began her karate journey here in November 2025 after meeting Kevin at a…read morelocal event. It was one of the best decisions I could have made to join this school. In 2 months, my daughters focus, discipline, academics, soccer, and maturity have all improved tremendously. The school is caring, and they make sure to keep the family involved as your child embarks on their journey. She made yellow belt in 2 months, and will be graduating to it next month. She was promoted into the black belt academy program with her white belt. The foundation and structure they provide is a great blue print which you can enact at home to keep consistency. If you're on the fence about registering, I would encourage you to do it. They have been extremely flexible with me, and to me the cost of the school vs investing into my daughter is a non-consideration as I believe this program will allow my daughter to grow into the person we see : loving, caring, hardworking, smart, and dedicated. Thank you Go For It for helping us develop our daughter into a leader.

In the three years that our daughter Sarah has gone to martial arts we have seen a measurable progression in both her physical as well as mental discipline due to this wonderful instructor. She has literally advanced up 10 belts during this time frame. It's been a real pleasure knowing this man who has put a lot of time and effort into my daughter's progression and her self esteem as well. Thank you Joshu Matthew Larrea for all your dedication to my daughter Sarah's needs. Happy 3rd Friendversary Joshu Matthew Larrea

Hands down one of the best fitness communities I have joined. I waited for a month before I…read morereviewed this place b/c I wanted to see if my initial positive experience changed but it didn't! Pros: - Dariel or D is the owner of the place and the main instructor for Krav and Fitness Bootcamp, and he is amazing! He knows when to push you for bootcamp (expect some yelling) but he doesn't overdo it. Overall, he is just a great instructor - explains everything in detail and does it slowly so you can grasp the concept he is trying to teach - Krav Maga classes - amazing group of people to work with - everyone is super friendly and is eager to help each other learn (the seniors are grouped in with the beginners which is great bc you learn the techniques faster and more accurately); I go every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday for Krav so I can keep learning new techniques; I am terrible at coordination but Krav is definitely helping me get better at it and making me stronger; besides self defense you learn how to act when there is a gun involved - Fitness Bootcamp classes - each class is different; D actually spends the time and makes sure each class is different so you can work on a different group of muscles and he also makes it fun bc you don't know what to expect; now that the weather is warmer we are running outside which is nice; I go every Wednesday and Sunday to stay fit bc it's a great workout (you get what you put in) and you won't get bored - Martial Blade Concept (MBC) classes - great class to learn about how to act when you're confronted with knives situations - Facility is clean and doesn't smell - Close to the LIRR station - you can easily walk from the LIRR station to here Cons: - No lockers - 1 year commitment

I bring my son here to learn Taekwondo and I've waited a while before writing a review because I…read moredidn't want to be overzealous too soon. This business is absolutely incredible and if you haven't brought yourself or your child here yet then what the heck are you waiting for?? The discipline, exercise, and demand for perfection from the students is not only above average but top tier. This is the third martial arts studio (if that's the right word) that I've brought my son to in 4 years and this is the first place that actually demands perfection to earn belts- this is not a belt factory or a social club like the other places I've brought him to. The other two places I brought him to simply gave tips and belts based on the number of classes attended which is ridiculous. If you want to graduate you have to pass the class, right? Instructor John is incredibly polite, stern and professional. I wish I knew about this place sooner. Also, this is a black belt academy that participates in local and national tournaments so it's not just an after school activity. Facility is immaculate, parking is fantastic despite what I initially feared because there's an entire parking lot of substantial size on the end of the shopping strip, easy to get out and back on the road as well, and pricing is incredible for the value of the education and exercise my son is receiving. Instructor John is awesome with the kids and has a pow wow with each one of them as they exit the mat. No snowflakes here! And if my son cries, oh well! The world is a tough place and Instructor John gets them ready for it! My son will be a student for life as far as I'm concerned.

Terrible teacher, we came in today for the first time for my 3 yo son. The teacher asked my son to…read morehave a class with another 6 yo child who has been there over 6 months. He asked the same to my son and the other older child, and very impatient, and finally the teacher pissed me off because he pull my son's collar and hurt his neck, my son cried badly, keeping saying neck pain. I ask the teacher to apologize to my son for his rudeness but he refused at first, and said I did nothing. Finally I called 911, he said sorry. I don't recommend this place for younger child, even though they said they are for 3-5 children, but they give zero patient to young children. Can't imagine how could this place keep running as the teacher is such rude and impatient.

They break out in stations and are closely watched and trained. They follow the usual belt system along with the tips earned based on level of achievement. Students have to EARN their First belt!!! They don't start class and automatically have a belt which I was impressed with. The environment is clean and very well kept!! Love the feel of this school very warm and they still instill respect and a great form of the art! I briefly had my son enrolled in another school and found it to be rough cold attitude and I was not comfortable....my son was fine when we left that first place. He actually spotted this one and said I want to go there!! He has been all smiles ever since!!

The instructors are very clear and one can really take the discipline to all levels, casual to competitor. This school actually has a travel team. The quality of this school shows with the competitions it has won in the past. Master Jung Jin Kim, is really very clear in his instructions. Instructor Anna is really great with the children, not only that she is highly skilled and a powerful kicker. Her discipline seems flawless. Instructor Matthew is a great young role model and Instructor Joseph is also great to work with. Most of all, instructor Matthew raises the standards and really keeps this place from being a typical black belt factory. You better know your form, kicking, and self defense here when working with him! The fellow students are extremely friendly and respectful to each other and that seems to be the focus of the training, makes it so easy to learn while having fun. Even though I am just a yellow belt, I see myself continuing my self improvement here along with my two children. Great school!
