Kids Karate
Toms River, NJ
Ocean County's top-rated youth karate program for ages 7–11. Your child builds confidence, focus, and real self-defense skills under 4X National Champion Master Greg Hussey — training champions since 1985.
More Than Kicks & Punches
Every class builds skills that matter far beyond the mat — in school, at home, and in life.
Real Self-Defense Skills
Your child learns practical techniques to stay safe — not just sport moves. Confidence that carries into every situation.
Focus & Discipline
Kids who train at EMA show measurable improvement in school focus, homework habits, and listening skills within weeks.
Bully-Proof Confidence
Bullies target kids who look uncertain. EMA students carry themselves differently — calm, aware, and confident.
Champion-Level Instruction
Taught by 4X National Champion Master Greg Hussey — the same coaching that produced national and world competitors.
Positive Community
170+ active members. Your child joins a team of peers who push each other to grow — on and off the mat.
Fun & Engaging Classes
Kids actually look forward to class. High-energy, structured, and age-appropriate for 7–11 year olds.
Master Greg Hussey
Master Hussey has dedicated 40+ years to developing young martial artists. His teaching philosophy goes beyond technique — he builds character, resilience, and leadership in every student.
Real Results. Real Families.
My son went from shy and timid to confident and focused in 6 months. Master Hussey doesn't just teach karate — he builds champions. This place is the real deal.
My daughter has been training here for 2 years. Her grades improved, she stands up for herself at school, and she loves every single class. Worth every penny.
We tried two other karate schools before EMA. There is no comparison. The instruction, the culture, the results — Master Hussey runs a world-class program.
