Howell Township's Best Martial Arts School

My 8 year old daughter had tried soccer, softball, gymnastics and just didn’t have the desire to continue with those sports. My wife and I decided to take her for a trial class at Inner Power Martial Arts. All I can say is Master Brian McCann and ALL the staff and instructors at Inner Power are extremely attentive and genuinely care about helping all their students. They create a positive and fun environment for the kids to feel confident during their martial arts journey! My daughter went from taking 1 class a week to asking us to take 2 classes per week. That’s how much she loves Inner Power Martial Arts!! We highly recommend this establishment!!

Master Brian’s program for kids has been great for my high energy son. He’s learned a lot of discipline and built up some great skills. Always looking forward to his next class! Highly recommended for anyone interested in karate. They offer programs for most age ranges.

There is only one school of martial arts of which you or your child should be students. It’s Inner Power. Master McCann and his team of instructors run a program that is absolutely the best in Monmouth County. My youngest daughter (4-years-old) is a student in the Little Dragons class. She is receiving such an enriched martial arts experience. Black belts Mr. Scott, Mr. Antonio, Mr. Gabe, and Mr. Liam run an EXCELLENT program for little ones. For the entire class period, there are high energy engaging activities, positive encouragement, teaching of proper form, teaching of proper technique, and an overall focus on following directions, respecting tradition and loyalty to commitment. As a young woman of 25 years old, now 12 years ago, I trained with Master McCann. It was one of the proudest periods of my life. My heart is so happy to see my youngest child on the mat. Please consider becoming members of this program. It will be one of the best investments you can make in your children’s education. Thank you.

I take the adult classes and they have been fantastic. Everyone at the school is super helpful and they feel like family. Master Brian is an excellent teacher and is incredibly knowledgeable as well as a good person. I would recommend Inner Power Martial Arts for anyone who is looking to get into martial arts.

I have to say Inner-Power Martial Arts Family is amazing. I've had so many black belts take the time to work with amd show me. They have their own belt to work on but they help still. Master Brian McCann let's you go at your own pace so you're not rushed or feeling incompletely taught.

Since 2020 lockdown I got out of doing pro wrestling and I ended with being over
350lbs and health issues. I'm down to 304 and my flexibility is returning and thats due to the Hapkido workout and me changing my diet.

I have only completed the trial period, and I am already hooked to this school. Master Brian and the other teachers are amazing, and really make sure that you understand what they are saying. After my first trial class, I found that the classes at this school are even better than I expected. The atmosphere is very relaxed, in that no one judges you, and everyone is nice, warm, and welcoming, especially to new people. I also like that from day one, I was able to learn actual techniques, as opposed to just doing warm ups and such. Also, I am very grateful to Master Brian and Will for taking time to help me one on one, since I am a total beginner. They really made me feel wanted and not kicked to the side, since they made sure I understood everything they were showing me.

All in all, I am happy to continue for real, now that my trial period is over, and I am looking forward to working with Master Brian, the other teachers, and the rest of the students in future classes!

Update: it’s been just about 8 years since I started training at Master Brian’s school, Inner Power Martial Arts. Since then, I have attained the rank of 3rd Dan Black Belt. I have also met so many people that have become my second family. I have moved three times and gotten married and I still never stopped coming to train at this school. My confidence and belief in myself have increased immensely and I would never go anywhere else.
