So glad we decided to join the family at New Journey MMA with Mr Jones and his team. Love the way and how he teaches not only MMA but also the life lessons in how he speaks to everyone. He and his team have been nothing but patient and very attentive to the girls in their training. Highly recommend him if your looking to join.
Fantastic people who are knowledgeable as instructors but more importantly invested in their students off the mat as well.
New Journey is an amazing place for your child/children to learn self defense. Mr. Jones makes learning fun and interesting. He Has a motto “gratitude not attitude”. He encourages discipline and for learners to understand earning versus entitlement. The Jones family and staff are great people who care about making positive changes in the lives of young people!

My son looks forward to his experiences there and we are thankful to be apart of the New Journey family! Thank you Mr. Jones & family and Sir Mitch for all that you do! Less
Great experience. Mr. Jones brings a great mix of discipline and training and does so in an entertaining fun way. He breaks techniques into small parts to make it easier to understand for the kids and I think this helps the kids learn and perform them and gain confidence in their techniques.
Both sons go here the oldest for a few years now. Love that you can start young (as long as they’re potty trained. Great family operation with instructors who are awesome with kids. Miss Jones & Sir Mitch are especially great with the littlest, even if they’re reluctant or distracted. Mr Jones always has a smile & a big hello for everyone that makes you feel very welcome.

Miss Jones & Sir Mitch are especially great with the littlest, even if they’re reluctant or distracted. Mr Jones always has a smile & a big hello for everyone that makes you feel very welcome. And kids get great exercise & practice of discipline. Really helps littles with gross motor skills too. Added benefits are confidence & ability to defend themselves. Less
Was looking for a combat sport that my daughter would love and commit to, we tried a few other things before but it wasn’t so successful. So glad I found New Journey MMA So far this is it. She loves going to class and she’s energized and happy after class. She’s really learning how to defend herself. She feels more confident and brave to try new things.

Was looking for a combat sport that my daughter would love and commit to, we tried a few other things before but it wasn’t so successful. So glad I found New Journey MMA So far this is it. She loves going to class and she’s energized and happy after class. She’s really learning how to defend herself. She feels more confident and brave to try new things. She’s proud to be a “ninja warrior” in training. And it’s just the beginning! The instructors are really great with kids. They know how to connect with them and how to get them to focus. I’m loving the new levels of discipline and respect. Thank you! Less
My 4 year old son has been coming to New Journey for about 2 months. He loves Sir Mitch and Ms. Jones. They make the classes fun and engaging. He’s learning so many life skills that I know will help him grow as a young man and kind human.
Such an amazing, caring family atmosphere with a very knowledgeable instructor who genuinely invests his time to help you be great!
Mr. Jones & his martial arts program is the best ever! I’m so happy we joined my sons will be apart of this group forever! He has helped us in so many ways mentally & physically! Mr. jones has a unique way of explaining things to the students I admire him for that! His level of patience is unmatched!

Just amazing in every way. Have to kids going here, they love it!!
Love this place , my son started this year and he loves it! Instructors are great! One of the only activities they can enjoy with this new normal. They get to be kids ❤️
No reason not to go anywhere else! You get consistent 110% all of the time from Mr J and his team.
My daughters are students and I am very pleased with how knowledgeable and resourceful the instructor is! The dojo is centered around the family approach and this enables us to feel comfortable sending our daughters (ages 4&6) to the school! They are learning so much and have become very disciplined since attending classes at New Journey MMA. I highly recommend New Journey MMA for all ages!
My son was being bullied at school. They took him with open arms and are showing him to defend himself and give him confidence but when to use.
Wanted to thank Joe Miranda for the Yoga class on December 5th. 2 other women were there & it was a stressfree environment. I never had any yoga experience but Joe let me know right away that I didn't need to do anything I didn't feel comfortable doing. Can't find anything like this small setting where I live. Miss the 1 moment of time with the group of us. Happy New Year Joe.
Out of blue, our oldest son asked to try martial arts. I contacted NJMMA and they let him come in for his trial lessons, Mr. Jones worked with him and encouraged him and he decided to commit. Shortly thereafter our 4 year old joined and now I am set to begin the adult classes. Mr. Jones is a great teacher and instills confidence and discipline in the kids.

Great place to get in shape. I lowered my blood pressure from 145/88 to 115/69 in 5 months. Great place to learn Mixed Martial Arts as well.
Joining New Journey MMA has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. The head instructor truly embodies what it means to be a martial artist; he also has a lot of real combat experience, and that always shines through in every training session.

I have been training here for almost 3 years now, and New Journey changed my life in a positive and benefiting way. Mr. J has always been a role-model to me, not only by promoting fitness and eating healthy, but giving me confidence to go places and know that I can defend myself if I need to, all while I can still be myself when self-defense is not needed.

I have been training here for almost 3 years now, and New Journey changed my life in a positive and benefiting way. Mr. J has always been a role-model to me, not only by promoting fitness and eating healthy, but giving me confidence to go places and know that I can defend myself if I need to, all while I can still be myself when self-defense is not needed. Unlike most “self-defense/discipline” schools, he doesn’t just give out belts. Not everybody’s a winner. If you get punched once or twice, walk it off and learn from it. You need to earn your reward, and not just participate and get a new belt. This is also not a “be a fighter fast” class. After almost 3 years, i’m still not even halfway to testing for black belt, i’m still learning the basics and some new moves to make sure it sticks. I’m not saying he’s too old school though. Mr. J is one of the nicest and genuine people I’ve ever met. Have you ever seen someone celebrate when you walk into class saying, “today’s gonna be a party!” ? Probably not. From 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM, Mr. J is there for you, ready for you to get some training in, no matter if he doesn’t feel like it or doesn’t want to. But he loves his job, and loves when you come in, and there’s no judgement whatsoever no matter if you’re in the fitness, the MMA, or any other class in New Journey. If I wasn’t in NJ MMA, I would’ve been a wimpy, lousy, weak, and insecure 13 year old boy letting people pick on me and push me around. But this turned that path around, giving me strength, physically and mentally. I always look forward to go to class, knowing that i’m going to have fun, get work, and that this class will make me just that much better. I recommend NJ MMA to anyone looking for fitness, confidence, cardio, sweat, and an overall great aspect to improve your life. Less
Mr. Jones is not only an impressive mixed martial artist but he is also a great teacher and mentor. He trains and teaches with passion. Awesome guy and great MMA school for all ages!

Strong enthusiastic instructor with years of experience...
Great instructor. My kids love it. They want to go everyday.
I was looking for a Martial Arts school for my son and I found it. He loves it here. His behavior has improved significantly and we are grateful for the patience and teachings Mr. Jones has. Would recommend 100%
Wow, Very seldom would you find a martial arts teacher who is both passionate and capable to take your kid under his wings as Mr Jones does and teach them not only the arts but more importantly, the principles of respect, dedication and commitment.

Wow, Very seldom would you find a martial arts teacher who is both passionate and capable to take your kid under his wings as Mr Jones does and teach them not only the arts but more importantly, the principles of respect, dedication and commitment. I have been following Mr J for a few years now, and I could testify his teaching goes beyond the mat work. My son has improved dramatically both in his self confidence and his ability to fend for himself. I strongly recommend this program to any parent that's looking for a practical and effective way to enhance your kid's life.. Less
Family oriented, the people are very friendly and the instructor brings the best outof you in all aspects. New journey represents the path of life that you have chosen ,the new path ,the new beginning .it's a new journey and the instructor is there to help you every step of the way ,to walk along side of you no matter what your goal is. That's what sets him apart from other instructors.
I really love this place. I have been a loyal customer and I can safely say that this is one of the best environment to be in. Eric who is the trainer and owner gives off a vibe where you want to be able to make big strides for yourself
perpetuates body dysmorphia and is discouraging with students -- comparing body types and students to each other in an attempt to "motivate." would avoid if you're looking for a trainer that is understanding toward your needs and your schedule.
I highly recommend New Journey MMA. My daughter has learned so much since September and I am watching her confidence continue to grow. They offer a family oriented atmosphere along with a positive vibe that creates a comfortable learning experience!
Family friendly, responsive , various trainings for multiple age groups
Yes I do recommend this place a great place to start getting in shape. The owner is the truth.
