Martial Arts Schools near Berkeley Heights

“It's been a life changing Experience. From the very first day, my son knew he was in for something special. While visiting White Tiger Dojo, as soon as I noticed my son's reaction when he first met Sensei Darren, I immediately received that unspoken message. I never said this out loud, but I believe it was meant to be. In these past 9 months, my son learned the importance of self-discipline, he learned to respect his Sensei, his partners and the martial arts tradition. Lastly it boosted my son's confidence, focus and concentration in ways I never thought possible. I strongly recommend White Tiger Dojo to anyone. I seriously would join the adult classes if I had some "me" time. Thank you White Tiger Dojo and Thank you Sensei Darren!“

Thank you Walt and Fight and Fitness MMA staff for welcoming me into your community and for all of your dedication! It shows! Sincerely, Dahlia“

“If you are considering starting your martial arts journey or looking for a new studio to call home, I wholeheartedly recommend Moo Duk Kwan HQ (formerly known as Hwang Karate). Master Erik Orella is a world-class Instructor and a Certified Sa Bom ("Instructor of Instructors") who can effectively relate to individuals of all ages and ranks. He is extremely talented at tailoring his guidance to suit your level and goals.The classes are well-structured and dynamic, keeping each session engaging and challenging. Beyond the benefits of physical fitness and mental focus, the studio instills valuable life lessons such as discipline, perseverence, and respect. Moo Duk Kwan HQ is much more than a place to train - it's a place to grow, learn and become the best version of yourself!“

“I was looking for a taekwondo academy for my child that felt personal and not like a factory churning out classes without building a relationship between teacher and student. Master Chun’s academy provides that personal atmosphere where you know your child won’t be overlooked. It is perfect for a parent who wants their child to learn TKD, not only for its physical benefits, but also to build discipline and develop character. I can’t say enough good things about Master Chun. He is a great combination of a strong leader who has high expectations for his students and a warm teacher who knows how to meet the students where they are. You won’t regret starting you or your child’s TKD journey with him!“

“Awesome place for kids and adults! I was iffy joining at first since MMA was so new to me, but everyone makes you feel very welcomed and included- I’ve been at Hybrid now for 2+ years and absolutely love going. If I could go everyday I would!! Master Mike the main instructor has great energy and is immensely helpful, kind, and encouraging. Him and other instructors push you to be better mentally and physically, and work closely with everyone to make sure they are doing moves correctly. Classes are always so much fun, a great workout, and different every time you go. I highly recommend Hybrid!!“
