Amazing amazing experience we are having specially with all the instructors they are super friendly and guiding Inaaya so well. Thank you for teaching all the life skills as well as all the discipline. Looking forward for her journey here. Truly appreciated for everything“

“I can't say enough great things about Karate USA! Master Kim is a wonderfully positive and motivating teacher. You can tell he loves what he does, and enjoys teaching each child to be the best they can be. He remembers all the kids names (when they are brand new he is remembering them quickly and they are always getting new or prospective students!). He is respectful of the groups, instilling discipline and respect, alongside practicing techniques to level them up with each belt. The staff is great at working with and acknowledging each child; they are just as positive and the overall atmosphere is energetic and fun!

The scheduling is flexible for the days to come in, to note. (They suggest one day in the beginning of the week Mon/Tues and then another day the end of the week Wed/Thur.)

My daughter joined in June, and she has loved going each week. It has helped her focus better in school and given her more confidence in her day to day interactions. I wish I had done it sooner!

I highly recommend Karate USA and Master Kim!“

“I am so happy to see Avyukta little focused from last time. Thank you so much for your all help and support“

“Both my daughters love this place. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonable and timing are good.“

“I've learned more than just self-defense here as a student, I have learned confidence, discipline, respect, and much more“

“my son was going here and earned his yellow belt I had to stop lessons due to moving and me being pregnant but we loved it here and recently been thinking of reenrolling him and my youngest master nicks is amazing“

“We couldn’t be happier with ATA in Parlin. It is absolutely worth the investment of both time and money. We have two kids enrolled, and the growth we’ve seen in their behavior, discipline, skills, and social development has been incredible.
The instructors truly take martial arts seriously. They teach with knowledge, structure, and a strong emphasis on respect. It’s not just about learning kicks and punches; it’s about building character, confidence, and self-control.
Our kids have gained so much more than martial arts skills. They’ve learned responsibility, focus, and how to carry themselves with confidence. The instructors are professional, patient, and genuinely care about each student’s progress.
Highly recommend to any parent looking for a program that builds strong kids inside and out.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Taekwondo School That Truly Changes Lives

I’ve been here for less than a month, and I’m already learning my third form — but what impressed me even more is the mindset, discipline, and support this school provides. This isn’t just kicks and punches… this is a place where real growth happens.

The instructor has a rare gift — he understands people. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, family struggles, or trying to find clarity, he knows how to connect, motivate, and inspire. He speaks from real-life experience, and that’s what makes his leadership powerful. You don’t just train here… you heal, you focus, and you become better inside and out.

If you’re looking for a Taekwondo school that builds skill, confidence, and character, this is the place.
Highly recommended. Five stars all the way.

Thank you for all you do!!“

“As both a former student and now the parent of a student, I can confidently say that Master Lee is one of the most professional and impactful individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing. His patience, kindness, and deep knowledge of Tae Kwon Do deserve the highest recognition. He is continually striving to expand his understanding of the martial arts and refine the ways he educates his students. Beyond technique, he is dedicated to teaching them how to become respectful, confident, and upstanding human beings.
I am truly grateful for Master Lee and all that he brings to H.S. Lee Karate School—especially the opportunity to share these meaningful experiences with my child.“

“This is the best Taekwondo school in New Jersey. Thanks to Master Kevin and Ms. Bonnie, our kids are not only learning a special skill taekwondo here but also learning discipline, following instructions and growing physical plus mental strength.“

“This is the best Taekwondo school in the area. Grandmaster Yoo creates a holistic and well rounded individual while providing excellent martial arts skills in the form of Taekwondo.

Discipline, Courage, Respect, Collaboration, Team Work, Confidence are just some of the values and individual comes out with.

We have been going here for more than 8 years now and the Monmouth Junction Dojo is nothing short of our 2nd home. My kids started when they were 3 years old.

There is no shortcuts. Just pure hard work.

Highly recommend this Taekwondo school.“

“I've been going here for almost eight years now and it's great for many reasons. You get to join a polity and welcoming community while getting into shape. Overall a great place to go to.“

“Awesome place for kids and adults! I was iffy joining at first since MMA was so new to me, but everyone makes you feel very welcomed and included- I’ve been at Hybrid now for 2+ years and absolutely love going. If I could go everyday I would!! Master Mike the main instructor has great energy and is immensely helpful, kind, and encouraging. Him and other instructors push you to be better mentally and physically, and work closely with everyone to make sure they are doing moves correctly. Classes are always so much fun, a great workout, and different every time you go. I highly recommend Hybrid!!“

“Excellent classes and instructors, great self-defense skills, good workouts, and a lot of fun, too. Highly recommended.“

“One should definitely enroll their kids into Karate to teach them self discipline, patience and at the same time feeling of accomplishment. This karate school (dojo) is the best place to send your kids as the teachers are very knowledgeable, accommodative, and the whole dojo operates like a big family. Kids are also blessed to have direct coaching and mentoring from Shukokai Karate World chief instructor at this karate school“
