Martial Arts Schools near Closter

“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!“

“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.“

“After joining about 6 weeks ago I am totally hooked . Sensei sets a positive, encouraging warm vibe and this is truly a place to get healthier physically and emotionally, as well as becoming confident in self defense. I usually train with Justin during the week and Eric on Saturdays, and they are both amazing people. Even other classmates go out of their way to be helpful. Everyone treats you like family, and I feel blessed to be a part of it !“

My son was so excited one month after class when he was able to do the monkey bars at the playground. Master Lee is tough and sets high expectations. Earning belts is strictly based on merit and the kids feel so proud to achieve. This class is great for all ages of girls and boys. My daughter will be next as soon as she’s old enough. I highly recommend Master Ho Lee if you’re looking for Tae Kwon Do for your kids. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience so far.“
