Martial Arts Schools near North Plainfield

“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!“

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!“
