“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 enrolled my daughter and niece's into this school a few months ago. After seeing how obsessed my daughter is with Akido and with some encouragement from Sempi Frank and Daniel, I got on the mat. It was the best decision.You get to train with both the students and Sempi’s. And let me tell you, the Sempi’s are great!! I have had the pleasure to be trained by Sempi Daniel, Olga, Darrel, Barry, Paul, and Tom,(who’s a total bada$$). They are all patient and encouraging.The best part about training here is that you feel at home.Sensi Jay believes in creating more than just a school. He believes in creating a community and he has succeeded. He makes you feel welcomed from the first day.So if you are on the fence about joining, I encourage you to come in and try one class. You won’t regret it. Plus, it’s a great workout!!“

“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!“

Candace and Ray were so welcoming and understanding of kids who need a little extra time to feel comfortable in a new environment. at the end of the program our son was so confident and proud to take us on the trail their group would take. so glad we decided to sign him up for camp and that there is a nature program that also involves discovering and studying the environment a little further. looking forward to going to camps again in the future!“

No reason to be super fit or strong to come to this dojo. People of all shapes and sizes are welcomed. The sensei’s will critique your judo along and increase your appreciation for the sport.

“New Jersey Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan has been an amazing experience for our youngest child, who sometimes takes a while to warm up to people and new situations. Yet within a couple of weeks, we saw in him a new confidence and an eagerness to attend class and demonstrate his newfound skills, which was a big change, especially with other sports we had tried.Steve is a kind of kid-whisperer in how he teaches classes, instilling in the students a healthy respect for the traditions of tae kwon do and providing encouragement every step of the way. Our child progressed through increasing belt levels regularly, and he was deservedly proud of his accomplishments. The space itself is airy, clean and well-lighted, which makes it a pleasure to visit. We're thankful for the positive impact it's had on our kid!“

“Both of my kids absolutely love this dojo and sansei Scott. They have achieved so much in the short time they have been there. We can’t wait to see them grow even more. If you are looking for a karate dojo for your kids THIS IS THE ONE! The owner is fantastic as well!“
