Choose which of our affordable, cancel-anytime, membership options is the best one for you. My husband and I have regularly been attending kickboxing classes at Tokyo Joe's since 2019 and have nothing but great things to say about Ed and the facility. We instantly felt welcomed and have continued to feel this way.
Services
Tokyo Joe's Studios of Self Defense in Hooksett, NH began as a Kempo Karate School in 2000, owned and operated by Edward Carr. Since then we have grown into a premier Martial Arts School in New England, offering programs in multiple disciplines, including Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, and Mixed Martial Arts.
As part of Team Link BJJ & MMA, we teach traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to both children and adults. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an effective, practical martial art that is very applicable to self-defense situations and is also a fantastic way to stay fit. We offer a balanced curriculum of sport, no-gi, and self defense.
The core curriculum for our youth program includes hi-energy drills and skills designed to build and condition each child's attitude, behavior and overall character development. Our dynamic, high-energy kid's karate classes help children build strength, stamina, and flexibility, as well as develop their body, mind and character.
Yes, we offer all new students a 2-week trial period in which you are welcome to try any of our programs and classes! All you need to do is fill out our general waiver form at the front desk. Let us know when you are planning on coming in by requesting a trial class through our online scheduler! No, we do not require a contract for memberships.
Team Link is an amazing place to go, either for beginners or advanced people looking to either get in shape or advance in their training. Reason I chose LINK was the atmosphere. Everyone welcomes you from day one, they enjoy helping you get better. Then I decided it was time to have the kids join! Once you start, it's hard to stop!

Positive: Professionalism
I was only able to attend this gym for a couple months but Ed and Jay were great instructors and they had an awesome community developed there. I attended MMA and jiu jitsu classes and liked both, the pricing is also very competitive compared to other gyms in the area.

This was my first experience with kickboxing and the cardio kickboxing was an amazing experience. So glad I went and can't wait to go back. Ed really made me feel comfortable to go at my own pace, worked with me within my physical ability, and was there to instruct me on technique!

Coach Carr has been so great with all of the children, students and other coaches on the team. He has always set a great example of what being a leader is supposed to be.

Absolutely excellent! A serious fighting gym. One can get an intense workout and learn self-defense or train to compete at Tokyo Joe's. It is the place to go for MMA, jiu-jitsu or simply to get in shape. Ed and his instructors, are the best you'll ever find.

Prices are good and Ed is great with the kids. I mean Ed is awesome!
Unfortunately they do not clean mats between classes and my kids ended up with planters warts. I get that this can happen but MATS SHOULD ALWAYS BE CLEANED BETWEEN CLASSES.

Jeremy Brooks is an excellent trainer I worked with him over at another gym. He made me a routine that worked for me and actually taught me how to build my self up, he very personable, and knows his sh*t. I highly reccomend you give him a call. I think you'll like the results.

Ed and his team have a great stable of fighters. They are great fighters but more importantly they are great kids too. Great school if you are looking for one.

My son has been going there since he was 5 and managed to get his black belt. My wife and daughter go there to work out in the kick boxing classes. Ed is a really nice guy and the prices are reasonable.
