I’m so pleased we chose to enroll our children at Elite Martial Arts, Colts Neck. I love the fact that this school incorporates body, mind and soul. My children have the opportunity to practice physical skills and the important life skills of respect, self-reliance, perseverance and self-discipline.

★★★★★ — Cortni, Jun 2019

Great school for character building and instilling confidence in children. They are all very patient and encouraging with all kids. All teachers are very knowledgeable and caring about getting the very best out of the child and the child succeeding beyond the martial arts studio.

★★★★★ — Vincent, Jun 2019

I’ve been attending EMA of Colt’s Neck for approximately 2 years - I’ve learned a lot and enjoy it very much. The staff, especially my primary instructor, Omar, is knowledgeable, professional, and really cares about his students. He’s also built a nice and welcoming environment for all to learn.

Your first Karate class at Dynamic Martial Arts Academy of Colts Neck

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
