“If you are looking to try or take a martial arts class, then this is the place to be. 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!“

“Excellent instruction. Very good with kids of all ages. Teaches focus, respect and discipline along with the art with positive encouragement and reinforcement. Highly recommend.“

“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!!“

“Our son loves Martial Arts for Life and has really thrived in the program. He looks forward to class and loves showing us all of his new moves. We love the family feel of the program and all of the confidence he’s gaining along the way!“

“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!“

“our son LOVED his week at nature camp! he is really happy and enjoyed exploring the forest and learning about all of its inhabitants while making friends. 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!“

“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!“

“Excellent Karate class. Shiihan is truly an expert in Kyokushin karate and he conducts his classes in a way that instills value and comraderie. I see that in all his students no matter the belt color.“

“For anyone who wants to learn capoeira or simply train their body in ways they never thought possible, GLDC is the most welcoming of any capoeira academy I have been to, starting with the group leader.“

“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!“

What truly sets your gym apart is the warm and inclusive community that welcomes everyone with open arms. The camaraderie and support among members make every workout feel like a collaborative effort towards achieving our fitness goals. The coaches' dedication and expertise in the disciplines ensure that I'm not only getting a challenging workout but also learning and improving with each session. It's evident that the positivity and encouragement within the gym foster an atmosphere where everyone can thrive, regardless of their fitness level. Keep up the fantastic work – your gym is a true gem in the fitness world!“
