About
New Jersey Martial Arts offers instruction in Muay Thai, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts to students throughout South Jersey. Founded in 2006 by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor and MMA coach Marco Perazzo, the studio serves the Cherry Hill, Moorestown, Mount Laurel, and surrounding areas. Students can train for self-defense, fitness, or competition, with classes available for both adults and children.
The studio emphasizes creating a supportive, non-competitive environment where students of all levels can learn effectively. Instruction focuses on practical self-defense applications alongside physical conditioning. The facility teaches Muay Thai as its striking system, describing it as the most effective striking art for real-world self-defense situations. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training addresses ground fighting scenarios, which the studio notes account for the majority of street altercations. All instruction comes from certified Black Belt instructors with well-structured lesson plans designed to track student progress. Sparring is optional rather than mandatory, allowing students to train without mandatory contact or injury risk.
