Modern Martial Arts & Fitness is truly a great place for kids and adults. The instructors are excellent especially in motivating everyone to do their best. Our 9 year old has been going there for a few years now and he really enjoys it. Covid safety is taken seriously so we always feel safe when we go to Modern Martial Arts & Fitness. Check it out! You will not be disappointed!! ....... Tyler W

“I’ve been looking for a good place to learn Krav Maga for some time now and finally found it. Joe is a great teacher. Understanding today’s challenges he uses his knowledge of martial arts and Krav Maga to teach us how to defend ourselves, how to use techniques that can be useful in real life. It is a good exercise in a friendly environment”……Thomas C.
​
“I have have studied martial arts for 9 years. Joe Chao’s krav Maga training is practical and to the point. You learn multiple techniques in the very first class! Never learned to disarm a gun from someone in 9 years of Kung Fu. learned it in 1 hour with Joe Chao. I highly recommend this class for all. I would also say that Krav Maga compliments any martial art you may already practice”……Ryan R.
​
“I took Mr. Chao’s classes last summer and fall and I have to tell you he makes the classes both entertaining and useful. He works you out but doesn’t burn you out. You can see the practicality of every technique he teaches. There’s no unflattering oversized pajamas or yes sir no sir BS. He treats everyone like an adult and doesn’t ever talk down to them. If you’re looking for Mr. Miyagi don’t bother his style is more like that of a personal trainer. No two classes are the same so you never get bored. Unfortunately I had to stop due to work hour shift but my son still takes his Kids Kickboxing classes and loves it so much he left his other martial arts school. What does he say about it? He loves the fact you get to hit pads and heavy bags and that there’s no katas to learn. Plus he gets to wear a cool black uniform. Give it a try and you just may get hooked”………Michelle C.

“Instructor Joe has taken Martial Arts and made it a sport that anyone at any age can do. The Modern Martial Arts and Fitness class is a great way to build confidence and get a great workout too. The class is truly fun and motivating and I think everyone should give it a try. Amazing class with an amazing instructor”……Christine T.
​
“Both my daughters have been taking classes with Jose since the Fall and both really enjoy the program. It has given them confidence and improved their physical fitness a lot. The nice thing about the MMAF is that there is no pressure to compete and the focus really is on useful skills, fitness and fun. Jose is a really enthusiastic and positive teacher, which is not always the case for martial arts instructors. We are so happy to have found this program…….. Wendy
​
I love this place for the whole family. I take Kickboxing & Strong by Zumba in the morning while my son goes to the Tiny Tigers class in the afternoon. I love the workouts, Instructor Joe & Ana are both amazing instructors and their classes compliment each other.
Joe is really good with kids too and besides workouts he teaches them basics about respect, discipline and focus. I had been looking for a place like this for awhile and glad we finally have it in our neighborhood. I highly recommend it!!........Sonila
​
As a family we love this place. Our children are so happy going there for their muay thai classes. We have both a boy and a girl and they are equally enthusiastic about coming to classes. Being part of this family and watching your children grow and thrive here is just amazing and instructor Joe Chao is so invested in all his kids. This has been life changing for our kids and we can only recommend every family to bring their kids to classes here........Betina
​
The Krav Maga class is really starting to get good. We have about 10 students who have a year plus in experience and the training is getting tougher, more varied, and a lot more fun. Right now we have a good mix of beginners and experienced students, so it is a great time to join as you will have a lot of good training partners....Ralph S.

I started the Personal Training Program 5 Months ago and I've lost almost 17 lb! I feel much better with energy and more confident. I've tried before several Gyms but I always quit after a few weeks. With Joe it's never boring and even addictive! I recommend it for everyone, all ages and especially, when you do, like me, a little "middle-age-crisis" after 2 babies ;) - Emmanuelle Bernard​​​

This place will get you in the best shape of your life while teaching you self discipline, humility, and respect. I lost 60lbs in 6 months just by taking Muay Thai and changing the way I eat. The instructor is patient, highly skilled, and a great motivator. All the martial arts classes are fun and very effective! With so many ways to get in shape while learning valuable skills, this place has become my second home. I love it here! Come by and check it out for yourself. - Monica Miguel​​
