About Us

---

 Jay Gotham is the head instructor and proud owner of Gotham Family Martial Arts. With over ten years of experience in martial arts, Jay has earned a First-Degree Black Belt in American Freestyle Karate, a Second-Degree Black Belt in Kempo Karate, a First-Degree Black Belt in Kempo Jiu-Jitsu, and a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Jay’s passion for martial arts goes far beyond training—he loves sharing what he’s learned with students of all ages and helping them grow in confidence, focus, and self-discipline. He believes martial arts should be a fun, supportive, and family-friendly experience where everyone can challenge themselves and feel part of a community.

Even after years of training, Jay continues to learn and grow as both a student and a teacher, always striving to bring his best to every class.

 At Gotham Family Martial Arts, our mission is to make martial arts training accessible, enjoyable, and empowering for the whole family. No experience is needed, and all fitness levels are welcome. Parents and children can train side by side, building strong bodies and stronger connections. Adults work with adults, and kids train with kids — each at their own pace, in a supportive and motivating environment. Through martial arts, we help students develop confidence, discipline, and self-control — all while having fun and learning valuable life skills.
