The Iron Temple of Martial Arts, previously The Martial Arts Center, was established in 1996 in Bergen County, New Jersey.  Training is focused on self preservation covering a wide array of intense martial arts disciplines geared towards self defense, self awareness and physical conditioning.   The development of the mind, body and spirit is paramount in an evolving market of "mixed Martial Arts".   

​

     With over 70 years of experience between the instructors at the Iron Temple, our goal is to  guide the student through traditional training with a modern and practical approach to self defense and self preservation.  The Iron Temple is proud to introduce "The Fifth Element"  approach which utilizes ancient techniques in a modern language. 

     We cover several different Martial Arts here at the Temple.   We emphasize a  traditional enviornment  and structure with a non traditional philosophy when it comes to street combat.   In a sense, it's  a taste of traditional values with a practical approach to combat.  We  teach a complete system of long range, medium range and close range combat. We don't need to talk the talk, we walk the walk.  

​

     Training at the Iron Temple has been invitation only due to limited space and temple like environment.  But now we have a public location located at 11 Millpond Drive, Lafayette, New Jersey!  Anyone interested in more information can contact us through our Contact page.  We are now open to the public!
