Reviews of MacKenzie & Yates Martial Arts - Hammonton

So in love with this place. I signed up about 3 weeks ago for the I Love kickboxing membership and its an amazing program. Everyone is supportive and the instructors don't mind showing us the boxing combination several times, especially for people who aren't coordinated like me.

I enjoy the kick boxing class and the push of instructors, its definitely a great support group!

I joined ILKB & I was skeptical at first but I'm really glad I joined. I feel more energetic and I look forward to going to the classes. Fun way to take out frustration as well!

I started the I love kickboxing program because I have really bad anxiety. It has helped me overcome that immensely plus help get me into the best shape I have been in since high school. The instructors treat you like friends/family and really care about what you accomplish there. They take your goals and make them a reality. If you want a good workout yet a fun workout then this is the place for you Make your dreams come true also!

My journey with MYMA began almost two years ago, in early spring of 2011. I had just started working out with a friend at a small local gym in the beginning of the year as my New Year's Resolution. Having a workout partner helped motivate me to get to the gym, but I found myself wishing for a more structured workout. I disliked the lack of form in the cardio classes we were taking; I felt like we were flailing limbs instead of maxing out every punch and kick.

I found a business card for MYMA at the local H&R Block while filing my taxes and decided to give them a call. The instructor was very kind and informative on the phone and set up an appointment with Master Yates. I must admit I was a little nervous! After meeting with Master Yates, my family and I were certain that MYMA would benefit each of us and we were thrilled to be welcomed into the Dojang.

Through our membership at MYMA, we have trained with many wonderful instructors, trained with many different weapons, joined the Leadership Team, STORM Team and attended many seminars with world famous martial artists. But the profound impact all of these things have had on our lives, individually and as a family, is difficult to put into words.

My son has learned to be more respectful, attentive and responsible. Tae Kwon Do has become a passion in his life and he proudly shares his experience with his peers and adults alike. I have gained focus, heightened self-discipline and agility from training. I look forward to earning my black belt and beyond!

We have moved twice since joining and currently drive between 30-45 minutes multiple times a week. Although there are many other martial arts studios in the area, we have created a bond with the staff and members of MYMA and consider them our second family and there is no where else we would rather be! If I could train every day, I would in a heartbeat.

f you are looking to change your life, you've found what you're looking for! Lose weight and gain muscle mass through our intense I Love Kickboxing program, sharpen your body and mind through TKD/Sin Moo Hapkido and train with the BEST instructors South Jersey (and beyond) has to offer! Set up an appointment with your closest Mackenzie and Yates Martial Arts location and give us a try. You've got nothing to lose (except for extra pounds) and EVERYTHING to gain! See you on the mat!

One year ago this week, I started the most amazing journey of my life. I was turning 50, was overweight and out of shape. I watched the ILKB classes after my son's martial arts classes and thought to myself .. I wish I had the time, money and motivation to do that. Well, one year later I can tell you that I did find the time, money and motivation and am now 25lbs lighter and more fit that I have ever been in my life!!! I will continue this journey because of the results and how much fun the program is. It works and I recommend it to everyone no matter what your age or physical abilities!!! I LOVE KICKBOXING!!!!

The martial arts classes that my son is taking have made an amazing difference in his self confidence and ability to focus. He has been taking classes for a year and half now and recently told me that "martial arts is now in his blood". The instructors are amazing!!! and getting him involved with martial arts is the best decision I have ever made for him!!
