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.

“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!!“

“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!“

It is a competitive environment but everyone at the gym is nice and truly cares about each other. I have improved technique and form in a short matter of time. Professor Plinio and Professor Thiago are the best instructors I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend CruzMMA if you live in the area or if you are looking for a new environment to get great training.“

“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!“
