What Our Students Say...
"I FEEL GREAT AFTER EACH CLASS!"
Tonight was my fifth class in Thai Kickboxing...I feel great after each class and I find myself wanting more. I spent 3 months in Marine Corps Bootcamp and I feel that the workout I am getting is equal to that of Paris Island. The respect and encouragement from Mr. & Mrs. B. do not go unnoticed. Also, the respect & excitement from all my classmates is very motivating. I find myself pushing my body more & more and enjoy every class. I really enjoy coming to class. Thank you.
Master & Mrs. B are great. It's your dedication and commitment to the program that enables the class to do so well. Always striving to do better and more. It's all about Personal Best, that's what makes it a great program!
-Mr. Mike Lombardo, New ProvidenceNJ

REAL Martial Arts & Fitness Training!
Martial Arts for Life offers a hybrid kickboxing curriculum which focuses on explosive techniques from Boxing, Jeet Kune Do, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai (Thai & Dutch methods). In our dynamic kickboxing, classes students will learn a blend of elbows, punches and knees from each art. These skills are easily translated in MMA, kickboxing, and self-defense situations. From glove drills to focus mitts, to Thai piads, students will have a wide variety of striking options.
Are you looking to get in the best shape of your life? Do you want to tone up and relieve some stress? Maybe you're just tired of doing the "gym thing" and you're looking for an exciting, rewarding, results-oriented environment to train in. Whatever the reason....you've come to the right place! At Martial Arts for Life we help our students accomplish their goals through teaching REAL martial arts techniques. Unlike gyms and clubs offering "fitness kickboxing" or "cardio kickboxing" with no actual technique or application, we offer the most modern progressive proven combat system available to professional adults.
From: Richard Brugger, Owner - Martial Arts for Life, New Providence NJ
Dear Friend,
Our Kickboxing program has helped many guys just like you get the results they've been looking for while learning how to "kick a little butt."
First, let me tell you a little about Martial Arts for Life. We are not a "traditional" Martial Arts school. We are a highly progressive Martial Arts Academy. We provide our students with cutting edge instruction in the most modern and effective systems to assure they get the real results they desire.
Our Kickboxing program is tailored to increase your flexibilty, coordination, balance, reflexes, strength...and get you in the best shape of your life. All this with the added benefit of learning PROVEN self-defense skills should you need to defend yourself or your loved ones. And perhaps the best part of all, this all takes place in an incredibly fun and rewarding environment.
Our Kickboxing program was developed with adults in mind. After teaching traditional Martial Arts for many years, our instructors saw that the system they had learned and so many like them still teach, just wasn't very good for adults.
There was too much contact, too much memorization, too much potential for injury and not enough emphasis on fitness and realistic self-defense.
Our Kickboxing system is the answer to many of the problems intrinsic in Traditional Systems. Over the past decade, it has become one of the most successful and popular Martial Arts Systems in the World!
THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF OUR PROGRAM
FITNESS: The primary benefit and focus of each Kickboxing class is Fitness. The classes are designed to help each student lose weight, build muscle and transform your body. Additionally, each class is designed to challenge each student's cardiovascular fitness and raise your level of conditioning.
SAFETY: The next element of our program is Safety. Each Kickboxing Class is designed to protect the student's knees, ankles, back & neck. There is no bouncing, jumping, spinning or contact with other students in our basic Kickboxing course. We understand that our bouncing students have jobs, families and responsibilities. We protect our students from injury by creating a curriculum that considers the adult student's needs. "It isn't so much what we've put into our Kickboxing program that makes it so special... It's what we took out."
EDUCATION: The next element of Kickboxing at Martial Arts for Life is Education. Each class is designed to challenge the student intellectually. We realize that most people join our program for health, fitness & self-defense- not to become a champion fighters. However, by teaching correct technique, the student gets a safer, better workout. Often, the most dangerous part of any fitness program is an unqualified instructor who does not know how to safely conduct a class. Additionally, by teaching the students how to do their punches, kicks, knees & footwork correctly, we keep the program more interesting. Adding an educational element to our classes keeps our students focused and challenged each and every class!
FUN: The last and perhaps the most important element of our program is Fun! There are lots of ways to get in shape. However, the one you will stick with and benefit from the most is the one you actually enjoy. We are experts at disguising repetition so the material is familiar and not boring. Plus, we create a "team oriented" classroom. There is no negativity, sarcasm or indifference. Perhaps most importantly, we teach in a non-intimidating environment! Our students are are focused on a quest not only to be their best, but to also help others achieve their goals.
It's not necessarily what we teach that makes our program so unique, it's how we teach it! We promise a Terrific Class, that's Safe, Educational, and Lots of Fun...Every Time!
As your progress through our unique and innovative kickboxing program you will find yourself:
- Developing increased confidence and self-esteem
- Staying focused and motivated
- Able to move outside your "comfort zone" and into your "achievement zone"
- Reducing your current level of stress
What Will I Be Learning?
Our unique classes incorporate techniques & training methods from the following disciplines:
American Kickboxing: A combination of powerful punching and kicking techniques proven to provide a kick-butt, sweat pouring, bag slamming, aggression releasing workout for the RAGING kick boxer deep inside us all!
Muay Thai Kickboxing: Referred to as the "Science of Eight Limbs," Muay Thai has existed for centuries as a fighting art and uses knees and elbow strikes in addition to punches and kicks. The conditioning routines of Thai boxing are some of the most effective known in all of Martial Arts.
Boxing: Often reffered to as "Western Boxing." Boxers are some of the best conditioned athletes in the entire world. Boxing uses techniques such as the jab, cross, hook, uppercut, bob, weave & specialized footwork. The boxing portion of our class is performed on heavy bags and focus mitts for a workout like no other!
Savate: Savate is known for being highly mobile and constantly moving which makes you harder to hit and allows you to attack at angles. The training also capitalizes on Savate's many fakes and setups so that the opponent is constantly guessing as to which attack is real and what is just a misleading fake.
Our instructors are the most patient, motivating, and knowledgeable people you can find anywhere in the Martial Arts!
What Our Students Say...
"I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS."
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this program. When I enrolled...I was looking for a high touch program that could put me on a path to a healthier lifestyle. The first night of class i did not know what to expect. What I found was the welcoming ways of Master and Mrs. B.
Because their program is built on respect for others I found my fellow class mates were quick to help me learn the fundamentals and made me feel comfortable. For the first time in my life, I am involved in a program that makes me feel that I can accomplish my health goals. Master and Mrs. B. are excellent teachers, they are caring, fun and are highly motivational. Thank you.
-Kris Kubas, New Providence NJ
BUT, BUYER BEWARE!
Before we continue I want to seriously warn you. There is one thing that is a part of today's "Mixed Martial Arts" culture that I cannot stand. Disrespect. I do not like the trash talking, the crude language, or the disrespectful attitudes of many mixed martial artists featured on television. As a lifetime Martial Artist it upsets me to think that this could become what society at large thinks a "martial artist" is.
It will not be tolerated in this Academy.
We train in a helpful, positive, friendly environment. Even though we are training in one of the most practical and effective striking arts ever created, we still embrace the customs and behaviors of traditional Martial Arts. In fact, Martial Artists have been using strategies of respect, discipline, focus, self-control, and courage for centuries. I would go so far as to say that learning these values is actually the point of training in Martial Arts. The kicking and punching is just a vehicle to take you to greater self-awareness.
If this all sounds good, I have great news. You can call us now and we can make arrangements for you to visit our academy. This is the best way to see how beneficial our program can be for you. During your trial program you can judge for yourself. Call us and we'll schedule a mutually beneficial time for a visit to our facility. Call us right now at (908) 464 - 2836 to get started!

P.S. See below for a list of qualities that separate Martial Arts for Life from the rest:
World Class Instructors – Our instructional staff consists of Professional Martial Artists who have each been training and teaching for a minimum of 10 years. Each instructor holds a minimum rank of 3rd degree Black Belt and has been certified to teach Martial Arts. Our professional staff consists of instructors whose credentials include Personal Training and Strength & Conditioning Certifications. At Martial Arts for Life we are not only expert Martial Artists, but expert Martial Arts Educators as well. Futhermore, It’s crucial to know your coaches actually “practice what they preach” and are currently training and living the Martial Arts lifestyle.
Professonal Facility – Martial Arts for Life is a full time, fully equipped, professional martial arts training facility. We have over 1,000 square feet of mat space, multiple heavy bags, kicking shields, punching mitts and much more! Plus, we are the cleanest school in the New Providence area - our academy is cleaned and disinfected on a daily basis. We’re all about great service and having the cleanest and most pleasant atmosphere possible.
A Structured Program – When you start out at Martial Arts for Life, you will receive special treatment and instruction as a beginner. In our class, you will be learning from an organized and well-structured curriculum that balances striking, kicking, & physical conditioning. The classes are designed to work at a pace that beginners can absorb. The program also takes into account that you may be totally out of shape - one of its principal designs is to get you into good shape and allow you to train harder as you progress. We want you to develop the necessary fundamental skills and conditioning in the most efficient manner possible and we’ve found that this is the best and quickest way for our students to get maximum results in minimum time.
Student Safety – A common misconception about Martial Arts and Kickboxing training is that to learn effective techniques, you have to get into wild and crazy sparring matches. FALSE. At Martial Arts for Life, most of our students have families and jobs and can't afford to leave the gym with black eyes! We have doctors, lawyers, managers and many other professionals that safely train in our program. The sparring that is done at Martial Arts for Life is done with utmost control and only if you qualify for and choose to partcipate in that aspect of training. The idea is to train smart and have fun. Safety is our number one concern and we want everyone to experience all the benefits of our program.
