We offer a highly-structured, professional, results-oriented program to families in Chatham, NJ. Here are some of the things that make Martial Arts for Life special:

We are parents, just like you. Martial Arts for Life is a family business. In fact, our child trains right alongside yours! We understand the unique challenges parents face when trying to raise a happy, well-adjusted child in this challenging day and age.

We are certified instructors. We have been certified to teach by the Martial Arts Teachers’ Association.

Martial Arts for Life offers a diverse and eclectic physical martial arts  curriculum and a proprietary life skills and character education program. Did you know our life-skills and character-education program was featured in SUCCESS! Magazine? We have spent decades studying and developing this program. Some of the units of curriculum we cover are: “Being a Martial Arts Athlete,” “Being a Leader Not a Follower”, “Developing Strong Character” and “Applied Knowledge is Power.”

Our instructors regularly train with some of the best martial artists in the world. We hold Black Belts and/or instructorships in arts such as Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Filipino Martial Arts. This allows us to expose our students to a variety of techniques and philosophies in order to develop well-rounded martial artists.

Martial Arts for Life provides a modern, age-appropriate curriculum that has been developed over the past 28 years of teaching professionally. We have a proven track record – no theories, guesswork, or trying to figure out how develop Black Belts from the inside out.

We teach with the brain in mind. Our curriculum has been engineered to improve: Speed of processing, Working memory, Attention control, Cognitive load, Inductive thinking & More!

We partner with the local community. Whether it’s our 5K Team that has raised over $70,000 for the NJ Sharing Network Foundation since 2012 or our Skills for School Fundraiser that has raised funds for PTA’s and PTO’s in Berkeley Heights, Summit & New Providence, or our co-owner that has volunteered as the president of the NP Business & Professional Association since 2011 – we are committed to partnering and giving back to the communities that we operate in.

We teach a blended martial arts style which incorporates techniques from Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai kickboxing, Filipino Martial Arts and reality-based self-defense. Apart from the physical, our school is a community of like-minded individuals and families that value traits such as honor, respect, integrity, perseverance and high moral code.
