Elite Martial Arts Self Defense, Adult & Children Martial Arts Classes in Melbourne & Palm Bay

My family has been going to EMA for almost a year and love it! The instructors are great with my daughter and encourage me and my husband! Sifu Vito has such a love and excitement for his art you can hear it as he teaches. We also have been taking private lessons with Ryan and have learned so much! It's the best school around!

I look up to Sifu Vito and Ryan a lot. They have helped my brother who also attends the program and myself who recently started...I think it's great what they do for the community, teaching classes to women on self-defense, teaching children discipline, you guys don't know the difference it makes in someone ....it's more than just fighting or self-defense, it's helped boost my confidence as well. I highly recommend.

My oldest son James has been training here for a little over a year and he loves it. It has helped him gain a lot of confidence and has given him a thing to strive for his black belt. He enjoyed it so much that I am now a student also. For me, it is a good work out and a chance to enjoy something with James. Tim also feels better knowing I am learning self-defense since I am alone with the boys a lot and that is one thing everyone should know. The school and instructors are wonderful and I would suggest it to anyone. Come join us in the fun.

My name is Kayla and I have been going to Elite since I was 5. I am now almost 12. I LOVE everyone in this academy from Sifu, Simo, Mr. Ryan, and all the ITP staff. This place is my second home and I love every minute I spend with them. They are all positive influence(s) in my life. Always willing to help if you any have questions or concerns. Everyone is so professional, respectful, knowledgeable. This place is the BEST!!!!!!

I have been training here for years. The instructors, Sifu Vito and Ryan, are dedicated and passionate to teach the intricacies of Jeet Kune Do, the martial art developed by Bruce Lee. While there are other places you could go, you won't find a more dedicated staff nor better training.

Such an amazing school! My son loves this place and the instructors are amazing with kids!!!! Such a great place for children to meet new friends, learn coordination, and learn techniques! Cannot say enough good things about our experience!

I wanna thank the teachers and the students that have the patience and time to show me what I never knew and I had a blast and I am looking forward to learning more techniques and to have self-confidence in my self to learn they are the best and they have so much patience and they are great and the best I ever seen out here. Looking forward to learning and it is fun and a great work out I am happy with elite martial arts.

An amazing program! Our 5 year old son started just 3 weeks ago and has learned so much already. Elite martial arts is well staffed with professional instructors that have such positive energy. Each child is observed very carefully and receives one on one attention when needed. We would highly recommend this program, very impressed. 

My 6 year old son goes to Kali and my husband is in the adult class. WE LOVE EMA! It is clear to see all the staff & owners are passionate about & dedicated to what they do, & the kids in the class are THRIVING! My son not only learns martial arts skills, but more importantly life principles like hard work, motivation, & respect. He tells us all the time how much he loves martial arts. He's no natural but the staff is so patient and kind with him. They are talented instructors who care & because of them & their methods my son is learning and improving every week. My husband really enjoys his class because it is a non-stop workout, start to finish. Adults will definitely benefit from sweat equity in a positive environment at EMA. It is such a blessing to our family & we are truly thankful to the staff for all they do. You'll love it here!!!
