SEE HOW The Hive Martial Arts Academy STACKS UP
Explore our comparison between martial arts and traditional sports to see why martial arts could be a more beneficial and fulfilling choice for your child's overall growth and development.
Traditional sports sometimes focus more on physical prowess and less on the holistic development of a child, potentially neglecting important aspects like emotional intelligence and personal character development.
Team selections and competitive play can sometimes lead to exclusion or benching of less skilled players, which can be disheartening and impact their enthusiasm for physical activity.
A strong focus on winning can overshadow the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and simply enjoying the game, which are vital aspects of sports for children.
In team sports, individual attention from coaches can be limited, which may hinder the personal skill development and confidence of less naturally talented children.
Martial arts is a great way for kids to improve their strength, flexibility, and overall physical fitness in an enjoyable and dynamic setting.
As children master new skills and earn belts, their confidence soars. This sense of achievement helps build their self-esteem and belief in their abilities.
Regular practice of martial arts requires discipline and concentration, skills that are transferable to all areas of life, including academic performance.
Children learn to respect their instructors and peers, fostering an environment of mutual respect. They also develop better listening skills, which are crucial for learning and social interactions.
STUDYING MARTIAL ARTS BUILDS PHYSICAL COORDINATION AND CONTROL
Young children who learn martial arts at The Hive find out quickly that each movement must be intentional. They learn to control their movements to the best of their ability.
They also practice hand-eye coordination and learn about their bodies. That means they’ll be less likely to be unintentionally destructive.
The Hive Martial Arts Academy STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO FOCUS
Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our martial arts classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks.
The focus they learn in the dojo is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.
MARTIAL ARTS HELPS KIDS LEARN TO DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION
The Hive requires students to pursue goals to earn new belts. Young kids can easily become frustrated when they don’t get what they want, but studying martial arts helps them learn the power of persistence.
The physical activity in our classes also helps kids manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way.
KIDS WHO ATTEND The Hive Martial Arts Academy LEARN GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are.
Even though martial arts is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.

Everyone is super nice and very encouraging to new students, also very eager to help you succeed. Amazing place & Amazing people. 10/10 would recommend.
Love going to this school ! I’ve been having so much fun ! Highly recommended for adults and kids to learn great jiujitsu while also having a great time ! 5 stars!!
Great school with great instructors. I have learned so much from this school. They really take the opportunity to get to know their students and build nothing but great relationships with the students.
The Hive is an outstanding organization that teaches the art of jujitsu with patience and understanding for each individual student. My grandson Nico Villanueva enjoys every session.
I have been training at the hive for close to two years, so my opinion is a little bit biased, but it’s biased because of how great my experience has been training here. Aside from the high-level Jiu Jitsu being taught to both kids and adults, the hive is a place where you can be yourself, train with incredibly talented martial artists and become friends with some of the most exceptional and driven people that I’ve personally ever met. Whether you’re looking for a place to call home or just a gym to drop into for the day, you won’t regret choosing this one. Easily one of the best decisions I’ve made in life.
We can't praise The Hive enough. The professors are not only caring and professional, but the students at every level also embody these qualities. The entire facility is dedicated to ensuring that each member learns exceptional jiujitsu skills while instilling core values of good character.
My child absolutely LOVES The Hive. From day 1, there has been zero pressure for perfection as the professors focus is on learning the skills and taking as much time as each child needs to master it. The attention for each child is top notch, even on days where the class is a full house! Confidence, strength, mental wellness - all of these and more are what my child has gained in a just 2 months. Could not recommend this academy more!!
We can't say enough good things about The Hive. We went in for a trail class and our son loved it. He's been at The Hive for over a year now and there is no turning back. The professors are all outstanding. Their strive for progress and improvement for each of their students is amazing. Their academy focuses on skills and you don't just get promoted because you paid your dues, that was a huge plus to my husband and I. They have built a community that feels like family. Our sons confidence has improved and he's excited to get on the mats week after week to improve his skills and strength and to train with his friends. We are so happy with the choice to join The Hive family.
Have been attending The Hive with my son for almost two years now. It’s undoubtedly the best place in NJ to learn and grow your Jiu Jitsu. Súper technical professors and great environment to learn and have fun in.
With that said, Their kids program is TOP in the state and it shows with their students’ accolades. Aside from being a great competition program for the kids it is a great team environment. Glad we joined and glad we stayed.
