Parent Testimonials: 

"Fortunato Karate has helped my daughter in so many ways. Before joining, she was VERY timid and lacked some confidence. After 6 short months...she now has the confidence and great self esteem that she needs. I attribute this to her training at Fortunato Karate. There is never any yelling (which we found at other karate establishments) and it is very kid friendly. Mr. Fortunato treats each and every student as if they were is own child. A remarkable place to have your child go!"

Nicole Cunningham

"Fortunato Karate has seriously helped my daughter on so many levels...especially socially. It is truly amazing how in the past two years of attending Fortunato Karate, the transition we've seen in our daughter from a sort of shy (yet energetic child) - into a young girl displaying focus and ambition for achieving personal goals. In addition to learning karate techniques, she's also learning limits and boundaries, respect for others, self-respect and discipline. We highly recommend this school for others."

Sharon Marks

"My son has been training at Fortunato's for 7 years. He is getting ready to get his black belt in the summer. Jim has been more than just an instructor to us, he is a good friend. He genuinely cares about his students and their families. My son is growing into a fine young man and Jim Fortunato played an instrumental role in his growth. We can"t thank him enough."

The Strout Family-- Thorofare, NJ

"Before coming to Fortunato Karate, my son Jacob (age 6) was somewhat shy and gentle.  I wanted him to experience the benefits of discipline, self control and confidence that karate offers.  It's been a true blessing to see how confident my son is now.  Fortunato Karate has given him the tools he needs to be a strong, independent, disciplined young man who takes pride in his abilities, his friends and his country.  Thank you for all you do Fortunato Karate."

Sherri L. Riddell--Sewell, NJ

"At Fortunato Karate you are treated like family. Mr. Fortunato is genuinely concerned about my son. I feel comfortable discussing problems or concerns with him...as well as our triumphs. He has gained confidence, discipline and most of all awareness. His karate training has made him a well-rounded person. He is more disciplined and more of a leader than a follower."

Sue Shisler--Sewell, NJ 

"I like how the Instructors at Fortunato Karate handle the children. I feel my child is more confident and is even listening to use more. Fortunato Karate has helped my child build self defense and self respect."  

Maria Mendonza--Mullica Hill, NJ 

"What I like most about Fortunato Karate is Jim's philosophy and values. The biggest benefit our son Matt received from training is his dedication...he values not only his committment to his art but he has become more dedicated to his other activities. Both our sons have become more confident, focused, physically fit, strong in body and spirit and more respectful...of course we benefit from these as well."
