Words cannot express how grateful I am for Sovereign Martial Arts, it has changed my entire family’s life! My 8 year old triplets are each successful in their own way. Logan was diagnosed with autism and adhd, when he was 4 he couldn’t stay still for a minute! Now he is engaged and focused for a 45 minute class and a 30 minute class after that!! My daughter Sarah does not like people watching her perform, their leadership program has brought out so much confidence in her she now shines and feels good about herself! And Joanie, this girl could barely stand on one leg when she first started,

I am glad that I signed my 7 year old son up to join the SMA FAMILY! It's a place that teaches life skills that goes beyond learning how to master martial arts. At SMA you will learn respect, honor, structure, focus, discipline, dignity and so much more. They empower the youth and adults to reach their highest potential in life, as they aim for Black Belt Excellence and it's all done in LOVE!!! My son loves it here. Thank you Shihan, Sansei Jana and your wonderful staff for welcoming us with kindness, love and support. We are glad to be apart of the SMA FAMILY/TEAM! 😊

My sons and I train at this school. It was the best decision I have made. I started my older son here when he was bullied at a young age. Today he could and would take on any bully. They are no match for him. We went to two other karate schools before this one and felt that this one was the one for us. There is a strong feeling of family At this school. Everyone is very very supportive. My younger son has autism. I was hesitant to put him in karate. This school has embraced him and worked with him.... they even came in earlier and worked with him individually to help him when he was very little

An amazing place to learn how to be a Martial Artist. They hold no boundaries to “karate”, as there are many aspects and variation of martial arts, my son and myself are both learning every time we walk through the door.
The programs seem to continuously evolve into a better learning experience as time goes on. They even have a cage! Scrap the gym this is a much better workout 😉

My wife and I brought our daughter for the discovery session. The instructor was very inviting and kept our daughter engaged throughout the entire session. We decided to sign her up, and she was very hesitant at first. However, they made our daughter feel at ease and she is super excited to be a part of their family!

As I contemplated my childhood , I remembered one of my many great experiences in my life.
It was the day my mom said I could learn Martial arts. “ In theory it sounded great”!
And it’s was!
Don’t get me wrong my mom instilled in me self esteem , character , honesty , know how , determination , kindness and respect for others.
But Martial arts brought it all together! But that was my childhood.
So of course as a parent I want the same for my son. Who is nine years old.

My son and I love coming here! We've been members now for the past two years. I looked at a lot of martial arts schools in the area and SMA was the perfect fit for my schedule and budget. When I came in to speak to Jana about signing up, she told me about their adult kickboxing program. I was hooked! I made the decision to stop being a spectator and join in on the action. This experience has changed my son and I for the better. His behavior has improved and the principles he learns in class help him communicate better than he ever has. We look forward to growing more as a family and improve together

I love coming here to train. The staff is very supportive, welcoming, friendly, professional and always willing to give the best experience/suggestions possible. I started going to SMA back in April and I haven't had any bad experiences. The only bad thing for me is not being able to go to train/workout when I do miss a few days. When I started, I wasn't expecting there to be any forms of 'relationship' since I had the mind set of "going to the gym, work out and then move on with your life.." but I quickly realized that going to SMA had already become a part of my

Where do I begin? Wish there was an option for negative stars. I just spent $3100 to get out of a contract if that gives you any indication. A contract that they were not clear was 36 months. This gym, if you can call it that, is horrible. Attitudes are terrible, dedication to the kids is atrocious & service is worse yet. I ordered equipment in February that I never received and they have not refunded me for, headgear being among the list of items never received. Senseless Gaby had no issues letting kids spar without head gear. And members were lucky if they were blessed with the presence

I wrote an honest subjective narrative about my experience with SMA and now I'm being threatened by the owners of this place to take my rating down or they will take me to court for "defamation". Talk about bullies. I thought martial arts was supposed to be a place to combat bullies? I will not be silenced.
I joined the SMA kickboxing classes in January 2016 via a Living Social Deal iLoveKickboxing. After those classes were used, I decided to purchase 35 classes. The instructor was absolutely INCREDIBLE. If this review was for him, it would get 5 stars. However, he is no longer

Buyer beware. My son joined this school in the Fall of 2014, they had a six week special going on, after the 6 weeks were up he decided to join full time at a cost of approximately $100/month plus cost of some gear maybe another $200. After about 6 months in they asked him if he wanted to join the black belt program, he wanted to, so I agreed, the cost then jumped to $155/mo plus a additional $250 for more equipment. After another 6 months my son told me he wanted to try out wrestling, sure no problem, I informed the school that he would be moving on to wrestling, they said he had one more month

I went ok the net too look for a school that teaches Krav Maga. I found this listed and a trail lesson plan for 3 lessons for 19.99. I went to my first lesson and was taught some very basic moves for about twenty minutes then I was told to come in for the formal class. I came in for the so called formal class were me and one other guy were the adults.The rest of the class were teenagers . We did some exercises and the rest was kickboxing, instructed by none Black Belt. I asked why we were not learning Krav Maga and was informed that they instructed in cycles , every other week.After the so called

After nearly a year as a member of SMA Rahway, I still could not be more excited about training here almost every day. I started with their kickboxing program, then got the bug to try krav maga/karate. The instructors really care about your progress, and they know how to encourage you to push yourself to do things you had no idea you could. The new facility is huge, with lots of options on class times to accommodate your schedule -- so no excuses not to make it to class! You will make friends in class and be treated like family by the SMA staff, and you'll lose weight in the process. What
