FIMA is one of the premier martial arts schools in the Bergen County area. Since 1990 we have offered professional martial arts instruction to both children and adults in all levels, from the beginner to advanced. The American Tactical Self-Defense System of Heiho Shin Do Ju-Jitsu is the dominant curriculum taught at FIMA. This tactical system was created by Shodai Senei Faustini in 1990. A Tae Kwon Do Curriculum is also offered at the Dojo. Many students choose to cross-train and achieve ranking in both systems.

FIMA offers martial arts classes at all levels for adults and children ages 4 and up, featuring Tae Kwon Do, Jiu Jitsu, Judo/Grappling, Mixed Martial Arts, Self Defense and Kickboxing.

The goal of this class is to introduce your 3 year old child into the world of martial arts training. This will be done through interactive drills that are designed to increase your child’s balance, agility, confidence and focus.



FIMA Little Ninja’s Program (age 3)

FIMA Little Samurai’s are introduced to basic skills that will help your child approach life with more confidence, assertiveness and enthusiasm. The basic TaeKwonDo skills of kicking, punching and blocking are introduced and taught at this level. Life skills such as manners, sharing, being patient, respecting others, and learning to control our bodies are discussed. All instruction at this level centers around the FIMA theme of “Listen and Learn” which develops and enhances your child’s ability to listen to and follow directions. Listening skills are crucial to a child’s overall development and have a direct correlation on one’s ability to learn and relate to others.



FIMA Little Samurai Program (ages 4-5)

FIMA beginners focus on developing strength, fitness, and technique as they learn the basic skills of TaeKwonDo. The teaching of these basic skills and techniques are strongly emphasized because once mastered, they serve as the foundation from which all advanced techniques develop. The FIMA theme of “Black Belt Excellence,” being the best that you can be in all areas of you life, is continuously addressed and reinforced. FIMA beginners may attend unlimited classes throughout the week.

At FIMA, my 8-year-old kid has settled in.  Disciplined, high standards, mature discussions, and hard work, but also fantastic life lessons, genuine praise, helpful criticism, and a sense that his Sensei's genuinely care about him.  I heartily endorse Faustini's Martial Arts Institute!
