What Our Students Say...

"My son has been attending classes at Martial Arts for Life for over 10 years now. It was the best decision we ever made! Master & Mrs B are not only excellent instructors but also wonderful people. I have watched my son grow as a person physically and mentally. He is, in a large way, who he is because of MAFL. Strong, confident and a leader."

Elisa Probst | Berkeley Heights, NJ

"My son has been a karate student here for over 5 years, and it has always been run with professionalism, efficiency, excellent communication, all along feeling like you are part of their martial art family... MAFL was recommended by families I respected in town when I was looking for a karate school for my son, and I am so grateful we were led to such a great place!"

Catherine Solfaro | Berkeley Heights, NJ

"MAFL is an amazing place. Both Master & Mrs. B are excellent instructors. My two children are students, and I too attend the adult classes. MAFL is a positive environment which allows for a great workout. Everyone is motivated to do their best, both in class and in their personal lives. I've been involved with martial arts for a good portion of my life, and MAFL is by far the best experience!"

Sal Perniola | New Providence, NJ

"We have benefitted immensely from Martial Arts for Life for several years now. Our four children have improved their conditioning, poise and confidence under the guidance of Master B, Mrs B and their staff of outstanding young instructors. With a good balance of challenge, encouragement, high standards and a healthy dose of fun, they bring much more to each session than lessons on technique and form. Thank you MAFL!!

Luke Hodges | Chatham, NJ

"We love Martial Arts for Life. Mrs. B and Master B are super dedicated to the kids. They are creating a very respectful, helpful and nurturing environment for the kids to learn karate as well as how to be more confident. Love how they know every single kids' name even from the beginning. My son looks up to all instructors and helpers. Thank you!"

Katalin Sakardei | New Providence, NJ

"Both of my children grew up with Master & Mrs. B. We could not be more grateful! Master &  Mrs. B. are excellent role models & have a talent for bringing people together &  bringing out the best in their students. Pizza nights, 5k’s, town events, busy week night practices, and of course graduations helped our kids build confidence & character. One of the best decisions we made!"
