I dropped in for the friday open mat. Ed was very welcoming and the place had a good culture. Ed called his students over to roll with me which really helped break the ice and I appreciated that. The facility is very nice as well, I had a great time, thanks Ed!

Amazing team. Amazing atmosphere. Amazing feats of knowledge to tap into each and every day. Couldn’t ask for a better sense of community to jump on into as well and work to mold a better me. Everyone here has a goal- greatness, and it is more than achievable through this facility with the guidance of caring and supportive coaches and teammates, but also can’t forget sheer hard work. Team Link is as legit as it gets💯

What can I say about Tokyo Joes that doesn’t already speak for itself. I originally found Tokyo Joes about 2002 with my oldest 2 kids when the dojo was in its early days, back then this place had something special, great teaching by Ed Carr and his side kick Bob who truly enjoyed their profession. My kids loved this place and looked forward to it daily, unfortunatly life took its turns and we ended up moving to another state never being able to duplicate the experience of Tokyo Joes. Fast forward 20 years and my youngest found a passion for Karate and jiu jitzu (sp) and spent the last 2 years studying with a local dojo however unfortunatly several months ago my daughters passion outgrew what her dojo could offer. In comes a a day driving through Hooksett and passing Tokyo Joes, we for the hell of it allowed her to take some trial classes and BAM it was a fit finally a place who could challenge her and reignite her passion in both Tokyo Joes and team Link and of course who is the face behind the passion Ed Carr who has not changed his passion for teaching kids in 22 years. We now drive 40 minutes 4-5 times a week specifically for this training. Thank you Mr.Carr for your professional establishment that can only be driven by your love for teaching. I look forward to watching my daughter reach black belt in your system.

We have been bringing the kids here for over a year and have had a great experience with the youth karate program. Ed teaches the kids self defense and how to get away from strangers. We tried a class at another place before starting here and this program is much better. Ed brings his best effort to every class and you can feel his passion for the arts. His programs are popular though so I’m probably shooting myself in the foot with this review. 😁

I've been going here now for about two months, and I love everything about the MMA classes that I take twice a week. I feel like every class I am progressing. Ed and JC have a great eye to correct anything that may need corrected. I highly recommend checking these place out and its very affordable.

Shihan Carr is a natural leader who runs a clean, disciplined dojo. My son has been taking the youth Kempo Karate course for the past 4 months and he absolutely loves it…he always tells me what time it is as we get closer and closer to driving to karate class to make sure we show up on time, lol! My son practices at home all of the self defense moves he learns in the dojo and is always excited to learn more! In addition to the class, Tokyo Joe’s also holds special events for the youth classes such as pizza parties and magic shows, which the kids always love and get a chance to know each other outside of the Kempo classes. Highly recommend this dojo for any parent new to the area who want to get their children into martial arts!

Ed has a passion for martial arts and sharing it with others. He provides a positive environment to learn in and practice the sport you love or allow the love of a new sport to be established for you.

I have two boys ages 9 & 12 in their BJJ class and each instructor has their own ways of communicating and teaching the kids. They are all amazing in every way. They even have a bond with my 3 year old that makes him want to go and give it a try.

The cardio kickboxing is a great work out! It has been helping me to achieve my weight loss goals (along with a better diet). I feel stronger and have seen improvements in my physical abilities. The other people that attend are wonderful, friendly and just want to help you achieve your goals. I am excited to go to class!

Fantastic! Very supportive, encouraging and positive atmosphere. Developing the mind and body are equally important and that is just what you will find here. Both my sons have thrived since they began and successfully apply everything they learn both inside and outside the ring. We look forward to many more years of training!

Coach Carr has been so great with all of the children, students and other coaches on the team. He has always set a great example of what being a leader is supposed to be. The facility is awesome! Full weight room, sauna, shower. I love it.

I was only able to attend this gym for a couple months but Ed and Jay were great instructors and they had an awesome community developed there. I attended MMA and jiu jitsu classes and liked both, the pricing is also very competitive compared to other gyms in the area.

This was my first experience with kickboxing and the cardio kickboxing was an amazing experience. So glad I went and can't wait to go back. Ed really made me feel comfortable to go at my own pace, worked with me within my physical ability, and was there to instruct me on technique!

Absolutely excellent! A serious fighting gym. One can get an intense workout and learn self-defense or train to compete at Tokyo Joe's. It is the place to go for MMA, jiu-jitsu or simply to get in shape. Ed and his instructors, are the best you'll ever find.

Jeremy Brooks is an excellent trainer I worked with him over at another gym. He made me a routine that worked for me and actually taught me how to build my self up, he very personable, and knows his sh*t. I highly reccomend you give him a call. I think you'll like the results.

Ed and his team have a great stable of fighters. They are great fighters but more importantly they are great kids too. Great school if you are looking for one.

My son has been going there since he was 5 and managed to get his black belt. My wife and daughter go there to work out in the kick boxing classes. Ed is a really nice guy and the prices are reasonable.

Not for me. Extremely crowded for the space available, felt like a sardine in a tin can there. Teachers seem to need to teach you even if you have a generally good idea of what you're doing to make themselves look useful. I have a couple years of experience, I was not asked once about my experience. I'm not interested in starting from scratch at a new place as if I was brand new to this. Gave a star for the prices, they are very good. This place is also good if you're a mom/dad trying to lose weight and/or looking for a place to have your kids learn basic self defense.

Prices are good and Ed is great with the kids. I mean Ed is awesome! Unfortunately they do not clean mats between classes and my kids ended up with planters warts. I get that this can happen but MATS SHOULD ALWAYS BE CLEANED BETWEEN CLASSES.

I took my eight-year-old autistic son here over the summer because I really wanted him to be a part of some thing and I thought karate would be great for him. I talked to the grandmaster before I went there in great detail. Let him know about my son and how our visit would most likely go. When we got there, there was a class in session and my son was fascinated and really wanted to join in. But that was definitely a hard no because the grandmaster didn’t even acknowledge or entertain the fact that he wanted to go down and join in with the kids. Not sure how else I would’ve known if my son who’s nonverbal would have enjoyed doing karate, but instead he took us upstairs to do a so-called private lesson where my son was pretty scared because we were upstairs in an empty room when all the kids were downstairs together in a group, just wanted to. When we got upstairs, we were asked to take our shoes off. OK that’s fine. My son didn’t understand why, and he was very hesitant too as this was a new space a new man who was not very welcoming to us and we could just feel his vibe that he really wasn’t interested in helping us at all . Basically had to drag my kid out of there while feeling judged by every parent who was sitting in there, and also the grandmaster seen that my son was starting to meltdown because he just wanted to join in with the kids and instead of offering for him to just go down there for a minute and just see, my meltdown and let me just drag him out of there . I felt so judged the look that we were given and stared at the entire time by all the parents in there was utterly disappointing. If you have a child on the spectrum is not so-called high functioning. I surely would not recommend this place left feeling defeated. Which is very sad because we were both so excited the whole ride there.
