I can’t say enough good things about EMA. Enrolling my daughter here is by far the best decision we have ever made for her! She started out very shy and quiet, and thanks to the wonderful instructors here, she has gained so much confidence and now speaks loud and proud. They truly care about each student here. My daughter used to spend a lot of time on the computer and now comes home and practices the moves she learned in class for fun. She looks forward to karate each week and enjoys the fun events they host at the dojo as well. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

I did the 6 week challenge and loved it. The instructors were hard and the work out was definitely a challenge but all of us had a fun and I would recommend it to jump start your exercise plan. Thanks Hany!

Seen some outstanding changes between all the students and myself throughout the years training at EMA. It really teaches you the visions of discipline, focus, perseverance, confidence, and more in a fun and active environment. The instructors are very knowledgeable, teaching you all the tools you need to set you up for success, not just in the dojo, but outside of the dojo.

The instructors at Elite in Morganville are incredible. The facility is clean, the environment is nurturing and friendly, and I've never never seen a single employee or instructor without a smile on their face. My Little Dragon LOVES it there and has learned a great deal (about respect and trust just as much as blocks and stances) in two short months.
Today, she had her fifth birthday party there and Sensei Ryan and Deshi Franco and Deshi Raphael were fantastic with the kids. They kept twenty, five year olds completely entertained and well-behaved. They came in on a Sunday for us because we couldn't find a Saturday in December to do it. I couldn't be more satisfied with her birthday party. They truly went above and beyond.
I really can't say enough good things about the people and this place!!

I partook in the 6 week intensive Krav Maga course, and I have never been so impressed. Not only do I feel better, more agile, and stronger I also look it. In 6 weeks, I lost 10lbs, two pants sizes and 2 dress sizes. Hany, the instructor, was amazing, motivating and knowledgeable, and a fearless leader that brought out the best in us. Whether it's for conditioning your body, losing weight, or self defense training, I would recommend EMA and Hany 100 times over!!

The instructors at Elite are excellent at using positive reinforcement to motivate and teach the students about focus and discipline. I love that they also encourage peer leadership and role modeling, as the older, more experienced students step in to say positive words to the younger/beginner students, and they really lead by example. Everyone at Elite is personable and professional, and it was the best decision I made for my kids. They just graduated from white belt to yellow belt, and they came home feeling proud and confident. Thanks to the instructors, who give the kids at Elite their 100% every day. As a teacher, I know it can be hard, but they are ALWAYS uplifting, pleasant and show kids that they too need to come with positive attitudes. Plus they allow the kids to have fun! A great balance :)

My son Patrick has been attending karate classes at Elite for the last two years. He is now five and has been accepted to their BBT program. All the teachers are awesome, they balance their expectations on age and make the classes fun but also teach discipline.
I just started my classes in Krav and I love it as well! I was worried to join as I am completely out of shape, never took any type of martial arts classes (my background is dance) and the fitness levels vary by student. However, I was welcomed with open arms by Sensei Hany and classmates. I already see my stamina building and look forward to the next class. I highly recommend these classes to get in shape!

Love EMA! They truly care for their students' all around well being. They teach self discipline, foster confidence, encourage students to put forth their greatest effort in all they do. They command and show respect for all. They are willing to invest their time and lend their expertise to any situation a student may be having difficulty navigating. This is not just a martial arts school, it's a stellar way of life school.

I have been at Elite for 9 months now. I originally signed up for the 6 week Krav Maga challenge. My progress was slow at first since I was nursing an old injury, have bad coordination and had not exercised in many years. After 6 weeks, I felt stronger and faster with better mobility so I signed up for one year and have lost more weight than I expected. The Krav fit classes are high impact cardio exercises that have helped me lose weight. The Krav Maga classes are more technical which keep the workouts interesting and I feel like I'm working out with a purpose. I hate traditional gyms with stationary treadmills that face a wall and I run but don't go anywhere. It's much more enjoyable to kick and punch things, work on combinations and ground defense. These classes are addictive and fun. The instructors are knowledgeable and understand each students needs and abilities. They know when to push you when you need the motivation and when to hold back to prevent an injury. This is important for me as an older adult struggling with an injury. Some days I can't do as much as I'd like but I do what I can. Don't let age, illness or injury stop you from trying this school. The instructors will modify the exercises according to your ability. The other students are supportive, patient, encouraging and offer feedback whenever possible. There is great camaraderie and teamwork fostered at this school. I must admit, I was terrified to try this since I am extremely out of shape. The last time I exercised was in my high school gym class over 20 years ago. I'm so glad I took a chance and reached outside my comfort zone. My only regret is that I did not try this sooner. Hope this is helpful to someone! :)

Our son Jonathan , aka JZ, was invited to attend our niece's birthday party at Elite Martial Arts in December of 2010. He had so much fun and decided to come back to try out a class which he absolutely loved. He started in the BBT classes at age 10 with Sensei Hany, Sensei MJ. (Who presently is at the Colts Neck School) Sensei Ryan, Deshi Amanda & Deshi Kailyn. These amazing and energetic group of instructors encourage and support the children to always do their best, not only on the Mat but in school as well. They honestly care about each and every single child who attends EMA. EMA was the best thing that could've happened to our son JZ. It helped him to become more focused, set himself goals, and greatly helped with his confidence and discipline , all while enjoying a great sport and making new friends. Shihan Chris, his wife Peggy, and they're beautiful daughter Emily are the nicest and kindest people one can ever meet. They treat everyone like family . We love our EMA family which consists of all the parents, children who attend and the staff to whom we are very thankful for. Our son JZ is now 16years old and has earned his first degree black belt through arduous training at EMA . JZ is currently enrolled in their Krav Maga classes. JZ has come a very long way in the past 61/2 years. He has grown to be a very confident, respectful, disciplined , physically fit and strong young man. We highly recommend EMA !!

I can hardly find the words to describe the impact EMA had on my sons life. It's not just martial arts training, it's a way of life. My son first tried out the basic karate class when he was 5, after failed attempts at other schools. He was diagnosed with Aspergers, ADHD and Anxiety, and I was feeling hopeless that we'd find somewhere that could actually help him reach his fullest potential. But EMA did just that. Deshi Kailyn worked one on one with him until he felt comfortable enough to get on the mat. In a few short months, he went from scared and shy to confident and hardworking. He was even invited to join the BBT class, where he thrived. Throughout the course of his training there our family made the difficult decision to relocate to Florida. One of the hardest parts of leaving NJ was saying goodbye to our EMA family. At Jake's last night there, they gave him a sweet send off that he will never forget. I can honestly say trying to find a comparable martial arts school has been impossible. They are truly one of a kind and if they ever open a school in Orlando we will be the first in line to sign up.

most amazing transformation of my son in only 3 months, even his teachers said they see a huge change in him in his strength, self confidence, and self control. I highly recommend it, they are place where you have to earn your success and not just have it handed to you. The teachers are amazing with the kids too.

I wish I could find the words to accurately describe the positive impact EMA has had on my son. They instill that hard work, respect towards others and dedication is a way of life. I am consistently in awe of how they take each class and equate it to "real life" and teach a lesson. The children that attend are taught self confidence, mutual respect towards others, that hard work pays off and to be proud in who they are. I brought my son here for exercise and to gain self confidence and he has gained so much more. I recently signed my daughter up as well when I initially had no intention because I only see the positive influence it will have on her. The are very professional and I only wish I had found them sooner.

DO YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO
DEFEND YOURSELF IN ALL SITUATIONS?
You feel vulnerable and want to defend yourself and your family.
You want an intense workout that builds muscle and increases dexterity.
You want the self-esteem boost that comes with knowing you can fight.
LUCKILY THERE IS A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION…
THE DANGERS OF THE WORLD ARE ENDLESS
Learning to defend yourself is about more than simply wielding a weapon. The truth is that amateurs who have weapons end up getting hurt with them more often than predators do – and that’s a real problem. There’s no point in arming yourself if you’re not also in the right condition to be able to act if you or someone you love is threatened.
Elite Adult Self-Defense is popular because it takes self-defense and turns it into an art form.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Elite Adult Self-Defense teaches you how to defend yourself by building on your body’s natural reactions to being attacked and giving you the tools – and the strength – to disarm and defeat your opponents. As you train, you’ll build stamina and hone your reflexes until you are a fighting machine.
DEFEND YOURSELF IN ANY SITUATION
Nobody wants to be the victim of a crime, yet it happens to people daily. The best way to avoid harm is to know how to defend yourself.
Adult Self Defense training emphasizes teaching students how to react in real-life situations. It’s not theoretical – it’s practical and effective.
IT IS A KILLER WORKOUT
It can be hard to get a great workout without someone to push you. If you want to be a total badass, the treadmill isn’t getting you there.
Learning how to defend yourself is intense…but FUN! Repetitive kicking and punching burn a ton of calories, and testing to move up a level requires mental and physical toughness. You’ll use every muscle.
Whether you want to lose weight or get in the best physical shape of your life, Adult Self-Defense can help you.
PRACTICAL SELF-DEFENSE AT ITS BEST
One of the hardest things about learning self-defense is overcoming your natural instincts to learn new moves.
Our Adult Self-Defense program works with those instincts – such as bringing your hands up to protect your face – and turns them into powerful moves that allow you to defend yourself and drive attackers away.
You’ll learn to use the tools you have and combine them with traditional martial arts and other forms of fighting.
RELIEVE STRESS AND ANXIETY
We all have to deal with stress and anxiety in our lives – from work, family, and everything else. You need to have a healthy outlet for it to stay healthy.
Adult Self Defense banishes stress by burning it off. You must give your body and mind to the process when working out. There’s no room for worrying.
When you’re done working out, you’ll be flooded with endorphins and feel a profound sense of accomplishment – and your stress will be under control.
