Tired of the same old, boring gym routine?
It's time to try something NEW and EXCITING!

I've heard that there are people that think martial arts training is WAY TO HARD and are hesitant to give it a try or that they are too old to start! This is the furthest thing from the truth. Actually it's pretty funny. It's a misconception. I guess some people think that if they come to learn that someone is going to throw them into the Ultimate Fighting Championships. WRONG!

Martial arts is FUN first and foremost and doesn't require any previous experience. Anyone can do it, big people, small people, young people, older people, flexible people, non flexible people, experienced people, non experienced people, ANYONE.

If you have ever thought that Martial Arts training may be for you I would urge you to come in and see our program for yourself. I can't guarantee that you'll absolutely love it (even though you will!) but I can guarantee that we can help meet any of your needs.

No matter what your specific goals are, we have programs that will completely fit your individual needs. Do you want to learn self-defense? Do you want to get in shape? Do you want to compete? Do you want to become a Champion in the Martial Arts? Do you want to push yourself to new limits? Do you want to actually reach your full potential not only in athletics, but also in your professional and personal lives? It doesn't matter.

We often hear about students who are only interested in getting into shape being forced or pressured to compete. That will never happen at Chirico's School of Karate.

Whatever your personal goals are, our expert staff of professionally trained black belts (many who have 15 to 20+ years of training experience) will bend over backwards to help you accomplish them.

We've created the Ultimate Martial Arts Program for the Pure Beginner. Even if you are out of shape, it doesn't matter. Our white belt basics program was designed with the beginner in mind!

Our program will help you stay in shape. You will gain flexibility through our stretching techniques, which will decrease your chances of injury in sports and everyday life. You will build strength and tone you body with our dynamic, isometric, and repetitive exercises. You will gain confidence and self-esteem by improving your physical fitness, body composition, skill level and self-defense skills. You will enjoy the workout as well as the friendships that come along with exercising and training with people that have similar goals. People that train together and support one another end up building friendships (and even relationships and marriages!) that last a lifetime.

Martial arts is like an exercise program with a bonus! You learn to defend yourself while you get in shape. Our adult students really appreciate the difference between martial arts training and standard exercise programs. The physical benefits of Martial Arts Training are obvious-you can see the changes in the mirror. You will see changes in your physical appearance, cardiovascular condition, and overall strength as you develop power and technique to defend yourself and the lives of your loved ones.

I'm living proof, I'm over 70 years old - and I bet you if you saw me in person, you wouldn't believe it! But I am. And I still train and work out with the class.

Martial arts classes are well known for their stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of standard health club type exercise programs.

When you look great, you feel great…resulting in a level of confidence that makes you unstoppable!

The mental benefits you will receive, perhaps even more important than the physical benefits of martial arts will be "seen" in your attitude and character. The confidence building part of our program is what students appreciate the most!

Nothing can take the place of the security in knowing that you can defend yourself, if you have to. At our school, everything we teach is reality based. We work very hard to insure that our students learn to defend themselves with practical self-defense techniques.

I know it may sound like I'm begging, but the fact of the matter is that I AM.

I would hate for you to miss out on the many benefits that our adult students are experiencing RIGHT NOW just because you are a little hesitant to give it a try. If that's the case you don't have to come in to try it, just come in to watch. Isn't that fair? I don't know what else I can do to get you to come to our school and see for yourself. If there is something that I'm missing that will get you to come in please call me at 732-969-3533. Trust me I'll do almost anything to prove to you that our program is right for you and that we can help you reach your goals.
