These instructors not only teach young kids about karate and technique, but also about life. They exemplify what it is to be a good human being with honor, integrity, and discipline; and they impart those life lessons to the students. We cannot say enough good things about this place. I have watched our son develop confidence and become more disciplined in the year and a half that he has attended Art Beins. If you are looking for the best for your kids, look no further than Art Beins in FREEHOLD!

I feel sooooo lucky to have found this dojo!! This is where REAL learning happens…read more Too many 'so called' martial arts schools are in the business of 'selling' belts on a planned schedule. That's not the case here. Belts are awarded only when earned through skills improvement and dedication. Sensei Mark (Caravaglio), takes a genuine interest in every student (all ages) and his compassion is reflected in the instruction from each Sensei. They not only teach skillful self defense, but strive to inspire respect and a moral code even in the youngest classes. I've experienced Karate and Kung Fu instruction as a 10 year old, again in two separate schools during my 20's and now (starting over) in my late 40's. Sensei Mark and his highly experienced cadre are the real deal. I'm equally impressed while watching them teach my daughter's 6-9 y.o. class, as I am with the adult instruction. I'd give them 5 stars if there were more room and equipment (bags/dummies) for independent punch, kick, blocking drills. You can check them out on Facebook, too!

I grew up doing Karate in the UK back in the '90s, before martial arts schools started pushing…read moreendless belt tests and charging families left and right. So when I came across Dante Rivera's BJJ Academy, it felt like a breath of fresh air. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just structure, discipline, and real mentorship. I had heard there were two main options locally--Silva's and Dante's. Silva's is known to be more "fun," but I wanted something with purpose. Our past experience with Master Park's Taekwondo was friendly, but confusing. Kids who could barely stay balanced were advancing through the ranks. At Dante's, that doesn't fly. I filled out the website contact form and got a quick response from Norma. When we showed up the next day, I expected the usual sit-down about pricing or discounts for paying cash (code for off the books), but that never came. Instead, Dante walked in, shook hands with every parent, and jumped right into class. What I saw was exactly what I hoped for: a balance of challenge, fun, and respect. My daughters (7 and 8) were pushed to think, focus, and move. I watched a girl struggle emotionally--Dante didn't coddle or ignore it. He guided her through, and she finished strong. That kind of moment tells you everything you need to know. There's discipline here, but it's not cold. It's real. Kids are expected to give their best. Parents were laughing as Dante cracked jokes--like threatening to lock kids in a closet or eat their feet. It's the kind of tough love that works, and the kids eat it up. After class, I asked the girls if they'd like to come back twice a week. Immediate yes. When I asked Norma what's next, she simply said: "Go home, talk about it as a family." No pitch, no hard sell. They didn't need to--the program speaks for itself. While we were there, I saw a dad bring his son over to speak with Dante about a tough class he had. Dante bent down, listened, and told the boy, "You can always come talk to me." That kind of care? You can't fake it. If you're looking for a place where your child will be challenged, supported, and treated like a real student--not just a customer--Dante's is it. We're proud to be part of this academy.
