From the reviews
Absolutely love this place. There is a friendly and inviting atmosphere the moment you walk in the doors. All of the instructors have years of experience in their disciplines. I like how from the very start everyone was always patient if I had any trouble learning something.
Justin is the dedicated owner of The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts Karate School located here in Saddle Brook. He possesses a natural talent for working with children and exhibits the patience of a saint.
After being referred by multiple friends, I finally decided to join and I can say it has been an excellent decision. I started summer of 2022 and I have significantly improved while only going twice a week. My instructor Justin is a highly skilled professional who pushes me to my limits everytime I train.
My daughter was being bullied, by several of her peers. In talking to a long time friend, she had suggested The Edge, saying that a close friend of hers, has a son that goes there. From the moment we walked in the door, the vibe was just comfortable and professional. Sir Justin is so relatable , with the kids.
New to kickboxing? Start at The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts
The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts
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.
