Michelle is AWESOME! I took a 2-hour class at my local gym, and it was super informative and fun…read more We learned some really good techniques and tips for if you're in a situation where you need to use self defense, but also just how to be assertive in every day life. I highly recommend her.

Michelle was awesome! Our group had 6 girls aged 10-13 and 3 moms and 1 grandma. Michelle came to…read moreour house and taught us all about using our intuition when in a potentially unsafe situation, how to use our voice to scare off predators, and use our self defense moves against bad people. Michelle used language that was very age-appropriate so as not to scare the girls- but to become more aware of surroundings and to be ready if an unwanted person/situation arises. Michelle has a lot of positive energy which made us even more focused, eager to learn and empowered!! I will definitely be telling all my friends to contact her to schedule a class. Suzanne C.

Top notch! Professionals that you can learn from! Very engaging…read more Excellent program! Two females went to a basic hand pistol 101 class with James as an instructor. The company has a total of 7 instructors. It was a 2hr class that he graciously went over about 30 minutes to fully brief us on what he knows are important to know as our goal was basic handling and safety. James was very thorough, pleasant and direct with his intentions of what beginners with no formal experience should know. We didn't expect the level of knowledge and hands on that we got today. We even got to do a "fitting" to ensure which type of handgun would work best for us as individuals. We recommend this company for any beginners to take as their main concern is safety and to give you the tools necessary to safely operate a handgun. Or a novice trying to scale up. We also have two other scheduled classes with them in the next coming months and I am excited to be with professionals who are there to teach at your pace, correct where necessary and reinforce good practices. Thanks James and the group. Exceptional learning service!

Our daughter attended summer camp last year, and she fell in love with Naga. She's been training…read moresince the fall, and often tells my husband and I that it feels like her second family. She has become more confident and assertive, has taken on leadership roles with younger students, and has learned so much about physical and mental strength and well-being. Our son joined Little Monkeys about a month or so after his sister started training, and he leaps out of bed every Saturday to get to the studio. He loves Silvia and Jeff, and as an educator myself, I'm impressed at how they handle a roomful of high energy kiddos! Naga has helped him channel his emotions productively and connect with a warm and loving community. We can't wait to see what the next year brings! Thank you!

My family became a part of the Family Martial Arts Academy family in September of 2018, when my…read more(then 6 year old) daughter began taking karate here, with their Tigers program. Paul Keller, the owner, and all of the Sensei's, are extremely compassionate and dedicated to every student. They have a wonderfully thought out program for kids, that encourages the students to do their best, not only at the dojo, but also within their school, community and home life. Students can earn "Victory" patches to sew on their Gi(uniform), by completing school homework, reading, helping out at home, practicing karate outside of the dojo, doing good deeds in the community, sponsoring another student, etc. My daughter enjoys her karate training, and her dedication to it, has greatly improved her home, school, and other extracurricular activities. I've watched her become more focused, grounded, determined and a better listener. My 3 year old son, is so excited to start his karate training when he turns 4. He loves watching his sissy in class and being at the dojo. Not only do they offer karate classes for the whole family, they also offer Tai Chi, Women's Self Defense, Mixed Martial Arts and Mat Pilates classes. I take Pilates here twice a week from a phenomenal teacher, Alli Breen, a classically trained Pilates instructor. I cannot praise her enough and her dedication to the art of Pilates! We are truly blessed to have such a phenomenal school in our community!

Peter is thorough and teaches all aspects of self defense, not just the physical moves. He presents realistic situations, and teaches the kids to read a situation, avoid getting into situations, use verbal defence whenever possible, defend ourselves while doing as little damage as possible, yet knowing and learning the techniques to really cause damage when the need arises. We hope to gain confidence with much more practices on the physical skills, but we also recognize that we need to be responsible for the choices and actions we end up taking in all situations. My family comes home from Peter's classes with lots of awesome dinner discussions. I highly recommend Peter's class. Everyone needs to learn to defend themselves, understand the psychology of "bullies" and then be responsibly for their own choices and actions.

On Friday, 1 June I had a 10 o'clock appointment with Ms Liz to enroll my daughter in the…read moreintroductory session package. My daughter has Down syndrome, needs instruction to develop better focus, discipline, physical agility, and most importantly community and inclusion. The time that Miss Liz spent with myself and my daughter has become absolutely invaluable, as she opened her arms (literally) and excepted my daughter fully and completely without any hesitation, something that does not happen often enough in our world with children and people who have disabilities. We moved to the Murray Hill area in 2001 and have been part of this community ever since. In January 2008 our little angel was born at 23 weeks and four days, making her the second lightest child to survive at Legacy Emanuel Children's Hospital. She has struggled and I have fought the local school district for inclusion, have been to mediation trials, as well as a due process hearings and have won all hearings through the courts; yet, the school district continues to not include her in the mainstream environment. To have her accepted and embraced by Ms Liz, again is highly unexpected for a parent of a child with a disability. I will forever be indebted to Murrayhill Martial Arts for their openness and willingness to fully accept, embrace and include my little angel in their community. Very grateful father.

I have been going here for a few months now and could not be happier…read more The owner, Pheonix, and his coaches are simply amazing. They're very approachable, helpful and give you a hell of a good work out! The others that workout here aren't mean or competitive with one another ( unless helping training for a fight ).

The krav maga and kickboxing classes I took were both excellent…read more I got critiqued mainly for 'not being aggressive enough' toward my punching bag, and they helped me learn what to do if someone aggressive were attacking me. The owner, some Lynn? who I have never met that I know of, refunded the 2.5 month all inclusive membership I had paid but didn't tell me. I found out today after driving an hour in rush hour traffic (with asthma - I was quite tired), when they told me the owner 'felt I was a danger'. They would not tell me why. So, if I can't go to class, this is kind of a 1 star place. I'm 5'6", 140lb, 54 years old, with asthmas, and the only martial art I know is tai chi which is 100% defensive. Why the owner thinks I am a danger I have no clue. The current teacher said that the owner also cited me for not following instructions... which is also mysterious since I did everything asked of me including following in with their rather low energy warm-up routines. So I'm afraid I can't recommend this establishment, even though Ryan and Brian are very excellent Krav Maga teachers.

If you take Armand's class at noon or the evening you're going to be in for a treat. He is very technical but super supportive in the way he mentors students.

Class then ends with a team rally shout and more rolling. Facility is amazing and super clean. People are friendly but are competitive in a positive way. Definitely check out Impact Jiujitsu if you're looking to start training.
