From the reviews
Absolutely love this place. There is a friendly and inviting atmosphere the moment you walk in the doors. All of the instructors have years of experience in their disciplines. I like how from the very start everyone was always patient if I had any trouble learning something.
Justin is the dedicated owner of The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts Karate School located here in Saddle Brook. He possesses a natural talent for working with children and exhibits the patience of a saint.
Myself and my girlfriend have been training privately with Professor Rios for around 5 months now and we can not say enough good things. In the past we have tried multiple different martial arts studios and online coaching programs and this by far our best experience.
After being referred by multiple friends, I finally decided to join and I can say it has been an excellent decision. I started summer of 2022 and I have significantly improved while only going twice a week. My instructor Justin is a highly skilled professional who pushes me to my limits everytime I train.
New to muay thai? Start at The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts
The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
