“Both of our kids attend Master Kim’s Taekwondo, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. We drive almost an hour each way just to come here and it is 100% worth it. There may be closer schools, but there is nowhere else like this one.

Master Kim is truly an exceptional instructor. He doesn’t just teach kicks and forms. He teaches discipline, respect, confidence, and perseverance. He really sees each child and knows how to challenge them while still encouraging them. The structure is strong and consistent, but there’s also so much care behind it. You can tell he genuinely wants every student to grow, not just in martial arts, but in character.

The assistant instructors are also amazing — caring, attentive, and very supportive. And the overall atmosphere is something special. The students encourage each other, show respect, and create such a positive environment. As a parent, that means everything.

We are so grateful we found this place. Even with the long drive, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Great place to boost kids confidence and focus. My kid is having an awesome time doing taekwondo and building her strength-Must go here!!“

“My kids coke here to train, and have been doing so for years now... can not speak more highly of the studio or staff.“

“The instructors here are so informative and skillful, both during in-person classes and virtual classes, they're funny, and they are so accepting and helpful. They don't laugh at you or berate you or force you when you're nervous or if there's something you can't do--they meet you where you are and help you work up to what you need and give you something you can do in the meantime. I highly recommend them. I just wish there was a dojo closer to my neighborhood. I'm so happy I found their virtual classes during the pandemic; this school turned 2020 around for me.“

“Cruz MMA offers a great environment in which to learn directly under a great master at the Art of fighting . What I like the most is you practice in real time not in theory , when you throw a kick or punch you will see what adjustments you have to make in order to delivery that . Coach Cruz is very knowledgeable and a student still of the history. Of martial arts it’s evident by one of his students who happens to be Alex Periera the current UFC champ . All his students now have access to things capable of a road to the UFC IF the student wishes . Amazing coaching , highly recommended !“

“This is a great place for learning the skills of martial arts. The instructors, especially Master Lee are professional and well informed on their practice. I highly recommend this for those interested in taekwondo“

“We’ve had a fantastic experience at Talium Taekwondo. Our son has grown so much in confidence, discipline, and work ethic since joining. He especially looks forward to seeing Grand Master Cho, who has been a great influence.

What really stands out is the sense of community; the whole Talium team (including AJ and Master Chris) us feel so welcome and valued. We will be coming here for years - highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Amazing community and great teachers! Steve, the owner, goes out of his way to make the kids feel welcome. He is able to create structure, respect, team work and still keep it engaging and fun. My son has really thrived in these classes.“

“I’ve trained at other martial arts schools, but IMAF has been the most solid experience in its own merit for me over the past 2.5 years. There are a lot of layers and it’s very multifaceted, which can take time to fully absorb, but I’ve learned and improved a ton. If anything, adding more layered self-defense into BJJ🇧🇷 would be a plus. But otherwise, it’s been a worthwhile opportunity💪🏻🥋“

“I’ve been training here for over a year and can’t recommend it enough. The community is incredibly welcoming and supportive, and I’ve made what truly feel like lifelong friends. The practice blends movement, musicality, awareness, and presence in a way that goes far beyond fitness. Mestre Gaivota and the instructors are deeply caring and thoughtful. A true gem in the area for all ages and fitness levels. Looking forward to training here for years to come.“

“I had a great time learning ninjutsu at North Jersey Bujinkan Buyu. Luis Sensei is very knowledgeable and has been a great help in my martial arts journey.“

“My 7 year old has been enrolled here for over 2 years now and my 5 year old just started. We could not be more pleased about the personal growth/development of both my boys and I attribute that success in part to Master O'Connor. The martial arts instruction is excellent for kids my sons age. They find it engaging, fun, and there has been demonstrative progress in skill development with my elder son recently participating in sparring instruction.

More important, is the relationship they have with Master O'Connor. As a father who works 4 days a week in the city, having him as a strong role model teaching them respect, honor, discipline, and instilling confidence in my young boys makes him an invaluable resource to our family.

We are lucky to have them enrolled here.“

“AMPED is the real deal! Beyond impressed with the training and knowledge my son is receiving. Master John is great with the kids, my son has learned so much already and looks forward to going twice a week. We love watching him too! Can't wait for my younger son to join next year !!“

“My children have been going here for a number of years. Sensei Scott is great with the kids!“

“Positive and encouraging environment, our child has memorized the schedule and is always enthusiastic about going. We love that respect and focus are core tenets of this dojang. After trials a several martial arts facilities, we have found our home here!“

“Mr. Parks is the best!!! He is a great teacher and a great person!! Come here for great lessons!“
