My two daughters (6&8) are finishing their first year at Marti Martial Arts and I can’t say enough about our experience. They have learned as much about respect, focus and dedication as they have in the development of their skills. Jose and his staff are top notch and have mastered the art of making martial arts fun. I can’t imagine a better place for them to pursue mastery of martial arts. Five stars.

Our 2 boys (5 &7) have been going to MMAA for a little over 1 year and the change in the kids is nothing short of remarkable. Sensei Marti is committed to making a positive and lasting impression his students. The honorable tenets of the Dojo are printed on the wall in large letters and are recited at the end of each class to remind the kids why what they are doing is important and what the end goal of having high quality character, being honest, showing strong spirit, practicing courtesy, and controlling bad temper are all about. We cannot say enough good things about Sensei Marti and MMAA! A high quality operation with the highest quality people in charge. If you are looking for a great way to give your kids self control, focus, strength, confidence, and character, look no further, it’s here.

Marti Martial Arts has been a gift to our son. A place where he has grown in more ways than we could have imagined. Sensei Marti is an excellent teacher for people of all ages. His method brings out the best in each student giving them confidence, strength and the desire to succeed. Regardless of skill level, every student is treated with respect and given the opportunity to learn and develop skills at their own pace. My son has loved being his student for years and continues to learn and grow with him. Sensei brings out everyone's inner champion!

Sensei Marti has a wonderful program! He is great with the kids. Helps them to improve, giving correction while also boosting their confidence. He is encouraging and goes above and beyond to make sure the kids succeed if they are willing to put in the hard work. We love that he also teaches the kids principles to succeed in life. This allows the students to connect the principles beyond martial arts, and is a tool they will be able to use throughout their lives. Thank you for such an amazing program.

If you are looking for a kind, patient, experienced professional to teach you or your child martial arts, then you should go to Marti Martial Arts. It is the best dojo experience that you and your family could ever have. From kickboxing to karate and everything in between, Sensei Jose makes it enjoyable for children, while teaching them life lessons through positive reinforcement and their martial arts technique training. My children love going to all the classes and we always leave feeling uplifted and happy. It is a really wonderful place, I highly recommend!

Sensei Jose and everyone at Marti martial arts are incredible with the students. Teaching respect, self defense, discipline while instilling motivation and self worth makes this school and its program the best around. Our experience has been a stellar one and we look forward to coming to all the classes.

A great place. Sensei Jose Marti and his staff do a great job in creating a learning atmosphere. Sensei stresses discipline and respect for one another as he teaches martial arts and fitness. Sensei Jose Marti is patient and understanding. He cares about his students. My son has been a student for over 7 years. He never had a bad experience. He really enjoys attending classes. Great place to learn martial arts.

We’re going in our 15th year with Marti Martial Arts. My oldest was 5yo when he started and the rest of the siblings joined karate as soon as they are able. My youngest is 9yo now and looks forward to becoming a black belt like his 3 older siblings and mom and dad. Marti Martial Arts offers a variety of classes including Jui-jitsu, weapons, self defense and sparring. But more important than all the classes is Sensei Marti. Sensei Marti is an excellent marital artist and has a kind, respectful, and encouraging way in running the dojo. He is God fearing and a loving father to all. My children all grew up in this place learning how to become a better person, to appreciate beauty and stand by what is good and true.Thank you Sensei for serving our community!

So grateful to have found this dojo and Sensei Jose Marti. My family and I have been part of this wonderful family for almost 2 years. I’ve watched my kids grow in so many ways since then, both as martial artists and kids! Sensei (and his wonderful senpais pf course!) is remarkable in his ability to teach discipline, respect, and empathy all while guiding the children towards reaching their full potential in various martial arts. My kids look forward to every class, and I couldn't be happier to hand them over to such a wonderful sensei and role model.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! I honestly can't say enough nice things about this business and the community they have created at the dojo. My son who has some sensory/ASD issues has been taking private karate lesson at MMAA for nearly 2 years and it has been incredibly rewarding for him. I started taking the adult kickboxing classes about a year ago and it is the highlight of my week. Sensei Jose and the other instructors are amazing and the community they have created at the dojo is friendly and welcoming. It can be hard work, but everyone leaves the dojo with a smile from ear to ear. Highly recommend checking this place out if you and/oryour child are interested in exploring martial arts.

Amazing school. Sensei Marti is a truly special instructor and our experience has been so valuable. Since starting at Marti Martial Arts almost 10 years ago I have seen both of my boys grow in confidence, physical ability, and maturity. Sensei truly cares about their development as individuals, not just as athletes. I'm so grateful that we found this school!

I’ve trained at various high level martial arts schools in NYC. I’ve cross trained in Kung Fu (black belt), Brazilian Jiujitsu (blue belt) and Escrima. I can confidently say that Marti Martial Arts in the “real deal” with excellent instruction in Karate, kickboxing and Brazilian Jiujitsu. Classes range from age 5-adult. The teaching environment is very supportive, encouraging and focused. The head instructor/owner brings in outside teachers who are experts in specific styles or techniques to teach classes and seminars to ensure top notch instruction and a well rounded development in the students.

I wish there were 10 stars! Jose Marti is one of the most supportive and inclusive leaders who has built a dojo with one of the top reputations in the area. He has given my son a place to thrive and build their confidence — and we are so unbelievably grateful!
