From the reviews
My 5 year old son is a member of Family Fitness K and really enjoys going to class as he learns new techniques every session. He has been going for a few months now and is currently a black and white belt. Not only are the sessions great but the staff here are wonderful!
The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. But some secrets are too good to keep. Family Fitness Karate in downtown Jersey City has become a quiet anchor in our week - a place where my two children are learning discipline, focus, and a kind of strength that isn’t loud but runs deep.
Great martial arts instructors! Very professional! Have no regrets I enrolled my kid. Now he has better confidence, and is learning a lot as far as defending himself is concerned. Family Fitness Karate & kickboxing had its way in instilling discipline in my kid.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Family Fitness MMA. My daughters, ages 6 and 3, are enrolled at the downtown location in the little dragons program and we are totally in love with it. Master Mike and his team of teachers is warm but firm with the kids.
Your first kickboxing class at Family Fitness Karate & Kickboxing - Downtown Jersey City
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
