ABOUT US

My Message to people is that Eric San Jose Martial Arts is not a commercial martial arts school.  When you enroll you will be personally taught by me. I will customize a workout that will fit your needs and goals.  Whether it's traditional martial arts, kick boxing, self-defense, competition or just to get into shape, I will be working personally with you to achieve your goals.  Depending on the student’s choice, one on one, or in a group setting, Eric San Jose will be the personal teacher/trainer.  That's it plain and simple.  How many schools can say that?

 

For the most part, my students are normal everyday people, 4 year olds, pre-teens, teenagers, young adults, homemakers, business owners, and professional athletes.  I believe that I can train anyone who wants to learn.  I've had the privilege of training members of the Nassau & Suffolk County Police Department, NYS Troopers, and Special Agents of the FBI.  Several of my students have won Regional and National Sport Karate titles both in forms and point fighting. My students, adults and teens, participate in kickboxing events.   NASKA Super Competitor Sammy Smith, who has won every major tournament title in this country and many Int'l titles, is enhancing her skills by taking private lessons.  I also privately train successful Martial Artists that own their own schools.
