Martial Arts Schools near Livingston

“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!“

“ASNJ is a rare and wonderful place. Cannot overstate. My 12 y/o daughter started practicing here in November, she loves it. This isn’t our first crack at martial arts - My daughter can be shy and hesitant to put herself out there- but she has truly thrived here. The vibe/ the instructors/ the energy is just so awesome - she is engaged and challenged and feels comfortable - she has never said “I don’t want to go”. The whole Dojo is just full of caring, intelligent and funny instructors and members who genuinely care for and support one another. Sensei Jay and the rest of the Dojo leadership / instructors we have worked with so far (Frank, Paul, James, Thu, Barry, Tom, and Guzman) are all really great - they are awesome teachers, compassionate towards the students while challenging them to be their best selves - and always, always welcoming. I cannot recommend ASNJ enough to parents and to adults who want to practice. They offer tons of classes, very flexible schedule, interesting and fun options no matter your level/ readiness. If you are considering trying or returning to martial arts for yourself, or for your child/adolescent/teenager, ASNJ should be your first stop. You will not regret it.“

“My daughter has been a proud member of White Tiger Dojo for over seven years, and it remains one of her favorite places to be. As parents, we are incredibly grateful for the life lessons, confidence, and character building that Sensei Darren instills in his students. We’re so thankful she has found a place that, in her words, “feels like family.” It gives me great peace of mind knowing she has a supportive environment to learn, grow, and be mentored by someone who truly cares about his students’ development and well-being. Thank you, White Tiger Dojo, for being such a meaningful part of our daughter’s growth.“

“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.“
