“Professional, Courtious, Disciplined, Self-AwareAbeer, my almost 7yo son has been to USA Karate and Fitness at their Avenel and Clark locations, since 2023. He started as MMA White Belt when he was 5. Now he is a Green Belt and going towards his Black Belt in a few years.Kids come here to become their best, stay super energized, and build character.Master Ruff, Master Chad, Master Esha have an engaging nature with kids of all age group.I would recommend USA Karate & Fitness to every kid.“

“I can't say enough great things about Karate USA! Master Kim is a wonderfully positive and motivating teacher. You can tell he loves what he does, and enjoys teaching each child to be the best they can be. He remembers all the kids names (when they are brand new he is remembering them quickly and they are always getting new or prospective students!). He is respectful of the groups, instilling discipline and respect, alongside practicing techniques to level them up with each belt. The staff is great at working with and acknowledging each child; they are just as positive and the overall atmosphere is energetic and fun!

The scheduling is flexible for the days to come in, to note. (They suggest one day in the beginning of the week Mon/Tues and then another day the end of the week Wed/Thur.)

My daughter joined in June, and she has loved going each week. It has helped her focus better in school and given her more confidence in her day to day interactions. I wish I had done it sooner!

I highly recommend Karate USA and Master Kim!“

I have been coming here for the Muay Thai classes for a few months now, and I am absolutely impressed by the knowledge, patience, dedication, and respect that Walt and his staff have shown me. They have also created a positive environment that makes you feel right at home. There is a place for you here, regardless of who you are and what your skill level is. You will laugh, you will learn, you will grow and get stronger, and you will get a great workout! 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!“

“It has now been two years since we first met Sensei Darren, and I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact he's had on my two sons. Sensei Darren exemplifies discipline and integrity – belts are never given but must be truly earned. His emphasis on self-respect and attention to detail, like ensuring belts are tied perfectly, reflects his philosophy that martial arts is not just about physical skills but a way of life. My sons have grown tremendously under his guidance, not only in their martial arts abilities but also in their confidence, respect, and perseverance. I highly recommend Sensei Darren to anyone looking for a mentor who instills life lessons far beyond the dojo.“

“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!“

“Both of my children really enjoy going to class, at first they were quite reluctant because you know it’s karate but after being there a few times they warmed up to everyone and really love the dojo and master way.They are now a few years in and don’t miss a class. Highly recommend if you are in the neighborhood!!!“

“Very beautiful place I take my child there since it is the only sport he likes and he is learning many things.“
