  I heard of Edge from another parent who was extremely happy with this place.. and I can now totally see why.. I am a mother of a 5 year old boy who began at Edge almost a year ago, when he was only in preschool.. My son absolutely loves this class.. It never gets old for him, he is up to 3 xs a week now, sometimes 4, and yet still he looks forward to attending the class each day he has it.. He has grown tremendously since he began.. Not only are his punches and kicks way stronger, and his technique improving all the time, but also I see a difference in his confidence level as well as his ability to focus.. The kids are all like a family there, they are a great bunch, and it is nice to see that they feel they are a part of something. As for the staff at this academy, I am beyond impressed by what "Sir" Justin Rios brings to the table... He shows commitment to the kids he teaches. He is strict with his students, as he should be (he doesn't mess around! He keeps them focused which is great!).. but yet, he also makes sure the kids are having fun and that they get some laughs in here and there...(He even has us parents cracking up at times, he's a pretty witty guy! ) Justin shows he cares and gives the attention each kid needs, and as far as price, for what these kids are getting from these classes, it is WELL WORTH it.. I have been to other similar businesses that charge way more, yet they don't give the kids half the attention that Sir Justin gives.. Overall we are very happy with Edge, and we feel fortunate to have heard about this place .. 5 stars!!!

  My son has been a student at this academy for 6 years. There is nowhere else he will ever train. Everything that is taught works. There are no boards to break. Not everyone gets a prize. Your ranks and belts are earned and not bought. This sets The Edge apart from the rest. With all that said, I'd like take a minute to talk about Master Justin Rios. When we started looking into the martial arts for my son, it was mind numbing. I checked a few before The Edge and when I mentioned my son had high functioning autism, their faces scrunched up and they looked confused. They treated every child the same. That doesn't work in our world. When we met Master Rios, he didn't bat an eye when I said my son was on the spectrum, he wanted as much information as he could get so he would know how to work best with him. He never let him quit. He never gave up on him. He learned my sons limits, EARNED his trust and slowly pushed him & then pushed some more. He's now a 4th degree blue belt. This isn't a school, it's an academy and once you step inside you'll see the difference. #TeamEdge

  The Edge Ultimate Martail Arts is the best martial arts academy around hands down. The best environment to train and learn how to defend yourself and get in great shape. Glad to be part of the Edge.

  My two boys (ages 7and 9) have been going there about 6 months and we are so glad we decided on sending them here. The atmosphere and experience that the instructors provide is second to none. They teach the students how to defend themselves and how to have confidence but also about respect! Our younger son has showed the most improvement and it's been recognized by our family and his teachers! I cannot thank Justin Rios and the other instructors for their dedication and commitment. I look forward to seeing what the future brings for my sons! If you are unsure of where to train or have your children train then send them here. You will not regret it!

  Having studied a variety of martial arts off and on for 30+ years and as a fitness professional, when it came time to choose a school for my three daughters it was not something to be taken lightly. I could have easily selected a school out of convenience, but instead did my research and checked out several area schools. There are at least a half dozen martial arts schools closer to our home, but the curriculum and instruction is well worth the trip. It is the most comprehensive program in the area addressing both stand-up and ground fighting. The confidence my girls have received at The Edge has translated to the soccer field, the basketball court, the classroom and the playground. Founder Rich Raciti, Executive Director Justin Rios, and his instructors not only teach technique but also life skills, such as how to deal with bullies and how to treat others with respect. Justin Rios is a gem. His ability to teach advanced skills and techniques, yet make the classes fun while instilling discipline at the same time is very unique. It's rare that you find an instructor that instills discipline, but can also make you laugh while doing it. If you can't tell, I highly recommend The Edge.
