“My teen son loves to learn Kendo here. Amazing Master Kim, he inspires my son to keep practicing and focusing on Kendo. This place is not close from home , we always spend at least 30 min to go. But it is worth!“

“Incredible! Everyone here, from the instructors, to the owners are humble and want to help you out. I knew I wanted to be active but was not wanting to go to a traditional gym. Glad I stopped by and signed up. My favorite part is there are other people here in the same boat as me, looking to make a change and be around like minded individuals. There’s no pressure and you are never forced into contact or anything that makes you uncomfortable. It’s nice when your “no face hits” boundary is respected. 5 stars!“

“United TKD in Carlstadt is just wonderful with the children of all ages and maturity level. I have my 2 boys who are currently active. Their experience has been nothing but great! They have learned discipline, self-confidence, self control and time management. As young as 4 years old my son was able to compete in TKD competions and build confidence in himself. Master Sam and Instructor John help the children strengthen their weak points and continue to build on their strengths. I highly recommend this center!“

“This is a wonderful wrestling school. I have nothing but great things to say about Elmer and the rest of the coaches at Edge. They do a terrific job of running the youth wrestling program. They have a truly long term perspective on making the program as retainable and fun for kids as possible - while still making sure they are learning. If you are thinking about enrolling your kid in a youth wrestling program, this is where you want to be.“

“Great place to train, very knowledgable and experienced judges and everyone else who trains there is friendly and supportive!“

Our family highly recommends this martial arts academy.“

I would recommend this place to anyone with grade-school aged children!“

“My son has been attending Tiger Kim's school for a few years now and has really enjoyed his experience. The school is well-organized, communicative with parents, and has created a family-like environment for all its students. It also has a great waiting/seating area where you can watch your kid's class. The Masters train the kids with a healthy balance of discipline and fun and are very supportive and patient. There are also a lot of fun activities planned for the kids during the year like a spring picnic, holiday party, and a Halloween party. In general, I would highly recommend Tiger Kim's Taekwondo school for kids of all ages.“

“Amazing place! My son loves each class and has been going for almost 2 years. He has learned so much in this time! They staff is supportive and helpful and really cares about each and every one of them. Highly recommend.“

“I have practiced kumdo off and on for a few years at different locations, including in Korea. Of all the Masters who has taught me, Master Min is by far the best. Not only does he (and Master Lee) stress fundamentals of kumdo, which can easily be translated into any phases of life, but also - and more importantly - takes time to explain why. He and Master Lee are very knowledgeable and very personable.Although my current schedule doesn't allow me to practice now, I recently enrolled my two kids and have been very happy with this decision. My son, in particular, within a short period of time, has gained self-confidence. Martial arts can be monotonous at times, especially for kids. Master Min recognizes this and incorporates fun games that enhances kumdo skills for all kids to enjoy. Thank you, SMK!“

“Strong is a great gym with great teachers. I have been taking the adult kickboxing classes for over a year and I love it! The gym provides a safe, friendly atmosphere and it is amazing what a great workout you get in one hour! Students range from 16 to 60, men and women.I had worked out in other ways over the years but had never done kickboxing before. It is definitely challenging at first but in 2-3 weeks, you get in the groove for both the conditioning and the kick-boxing parts. And it's way more fun than programs like Orange Theory or just lifting weights.I highly recommend Strong Martial Arts. It really is a great workout option for all skill levels.“

“Excellent school for children and adults. They are not a belt mill. My son is 10 and daughter is 7. Great family orientated dojo.“

“One of a kind coach. If you’re not here doing jiujitsu under Mr. R… then you’re missing out, big time!“

“I want to train judo again but now here in Hackensack New Jersey USA
I was already a judoka in my country Ecuador and I finally arrived here in the USA and I want to train judo again, how much do they charge or how do you register here in the USA?“

“The best martial arts teacher ever, he’s very nice, and he’s a professional. I’d recommend you guys to go here, I went here and it has changed my life.“

“Master Kim is an amazing teacher, I am thankfully for all He has helped our kids grow. Master Yoo is amazing and everytime we see him he always has encouragement for our kids, in true honesty I am very blessed to call this school our school! Thank you for always doing the best for our kids!“
