Glad I stopped by and signed up. My favorite part is there are other people here in the same boat as me, looking to make a change and be around like minded individuals. There’s no pressure and you are never forced into contact or anything that makes you uncomfortable. It’s nice when your “no face hits” boundary is respected. 5 stars!“

“The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club.
But some secrets are too good to keep.

Family Fitness Karate in downtown Jersey City has become a quiet anchor in our week - a place where my two children are learning discipline, focus, and a kind of strength that isn’t loud but runs deep. Master Mike and every instructor carry themselves with grace, patience, and an understanding of how to guide kids not just in kicks and forms, but in life.

Fridays are special. Sparring night feels like something out of a storybook - electric, mysterious, full of energy and unspoken respect. And the Demo Team practices? Like being invited into a secret society, one where everyone bows in and belongs.

I’ve seen real change in my kids: more confidence, more calm, and a spark in their eyes that tells me they know they’re growing. Watching Petra bow to Master Mike as she received her belt - there was something quietly beautiful and deeply respectful in that moment.

I wasn’t going to say anything. But here I am, breaking the first rule. And I would do it again.“

“My son has been with Koei-Kan Clifton since he was 5 years old. They teach discipline, focus and technique with patience and kindness. In fact, they care enough to ensure children actually learn and master skills they can use on and off the mat, before advancing them up the ranks. This place is so much more than a Karate Dojo, it's a family, and one I'm proud to be part of!“

“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!“

“This is a wonderful wrestling school. I have nothing but great things to say about Elmer and the rest of the coaches at Edge. They do a terrific job of running the youth wrestling program. They have a truly long term perspective on making the program as retainable and fun for kids as possible - while still making sure they are learning. If you are thinking about enrolling your kid in a youth wrestling program, this is where you want to be.“

He has a unique ability to engage children in ways that allow them to develop skills that will last a lifetime, all the while the kids feel like they're just being kids having fun. It's great watching my 4 year old daughter practice here. I couldn't recommend this school more.“

“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!“
