Martial Arts Schools near Kinnelon

“The training and skills I am learning are priceless. The positive attitude and comrodery among everyone is so encouraging and keeps me going! Mr Miller really cares and wants me to succeed.“

“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!“

“We have been very happy with Absolute Martial Arts for my son (5). Master Chris and Master Mike are both great with the kids but so are the younger instructors who help out. They make the classes fun with music but the kids also work hard for the 30 minutes. The belt colors get the kids so excited!“

“Excellent skills building and confidence booster for my son, this type of technique in taekwondo teaches lifelong skills- so grateful!!“

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

“Simply the best program for kids I’ve seen. My son loves it and always wants to come back. Been here over a year. Highly recommended. Yanni is awesome with the kids.“

“I have had the pleasure of traveling at the Judokai of Fairfield for a year now and I have to say I truly wish I joined sooner! Sensei Kevin Costello greets everyone with a smile and a warm welcome. I truly appreciate that heknows how to teach people of all ages and experience as that has allowed my wife and I to both train here and grow in the great sport of Judo. I truly recommend this place to all who wish to either begin their martial arts training or further advance what they have learned prior. Overall, being a part of the Judokai has been one of my best decisions in a long time!“

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

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