Many classes to choose from (go as often as you want for your monthly fee). Gym for parents during class time downstairs. Children's waiting area w/TV and homework area, awards given for academics, optional karate homework each month, tournaments, testing (no fee for testing), lots of special days for families and parent nights. We picked this school after trying another one first. Highly recommended by friends and only advertisement is word of mouth.

This was the first dojo we tried in the area when my then 4-year old son wanted karate. We went to…read moreone class and it was the last class. We've since switched elsewhere and been extremely happy the past three years with the differences! Anyway, this dojo is a very cold place. There's no waiting room for parents to sit in. No way for them to watch. Not even a chair in the foyer for you to hang out in. You drop your kid off for their hour of time and you pick them back up. You can't even see into the room unless you physically stand in the doorway. The instructor actually made my son feel badly because he asked me to tie his shoes when we were leaving... at 4 years old. The schedule is not flexible either. They expect you there twice a week and your child's class only meets twice a week, so there's no flexibility like the school we're with now.

This whole program is geared toward little kids if you have kids who are 12 or older they will be…read morebored...

They were stellar with handling the children during Covid and allowing them to play and learn while introducing them to martial arts. After that program ended they followed up and we decided to enroll our 9 year old into their Martial arts program. So far all staff and other parents have been super helpful and welcoming. My son enjoys his class and I enjoy all the scheduling and class options. I must also note their communication, facility, and systems are the best. There so ahead with the contactless options, app, and roadmap which is vital as a new participant. I am always kept informed early on of what's going on with any changes or updates. Their YouTube content has also been very helpful and I often refer to it when I have a curiosity. Another bonus is my unenrolled son gets to participate in activities now and then which gives us a nice break ! I will absolutely recommend Elite Martial Arts !

I simply cannot imagine where I would be without the skills, discipline, and confidence that I gained training here. The Whiteleys are amazing instructors, and the dojo community is wonderful. I have continued trained in martial arts into adulthood, and it has been one of the most fulfilling pursuits of my life. Whenever I talk to friends with kids, I always encourage them to try karate because it is entirely responsible for how great I turned out :) Being confident in your ability to defend yourself is such a potent ingredient for self-assuredness later on in life, and the philosophical lessons within the practice are such good lessons for kids: hard work, discipline, steeling your nerves for competition, trust and respect when working with other people... I could go on and on.

This is not a tournament school, but a dojo where the goal is not just learning and refining technique but to "go deep" into the martial arts and integrate the spirit and mental practices into everyday life. The resident sensei is one of the most outstanding teachers of any subject or skill that I have ever encountered. This should be the new "go-to" martial arts school for adults and children in Bernardsville and surrounding communities.

If someone invested 2 or 3 years in a system I'm betting they won't think it was a bad choice. They will defend their choice to the end - bitter or not. However, most people don't stick with it long enough to really learn the skills and values they are trying to teach you. So how do you choose? The teacher and the schools personality. You need to find a personality that matches your objectives. We have all seen the Karate Kid movie where the school was very aggressive and taught winning was everything - a classic example of a bad school - IMHO. THE SCHOOL - Dave is the owner and is very personable. He is well rounded and makes sure the classes are hard & fun. The kids are challenged - sometimes pushed to their limits. This is a good thing - it teaches them that they are capable of more than they think. It also teaches them that if they can't succeed the 1st time to keep trying and they can make the grade. It's never about beating someone else but pushing yourself and learning your limits. Kids ages 8 to 12 are offered 2 classes - Thai Kick Boxing and Ju Jit Su. 2/3s of each class is spent on exercises and 1/3 learning new skills. They build a solid base in strength, endurance, speed and coordination etc. When they are ready they are moved to the next level for more work and more skills.

I highly recommend stopping by and seeing for yourself why EMA has been a fixture in the community for almost 20 years! You won't be disappointed!

You will also become part of a family that pushes you to do better and to train harder every class.
