Thank you Sensei!“

There is a great camaraderie and sense of family amongst the students and this stems from the masters immense support for their students. I highly recommend for all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced competitive levels.“

“This was one of the best activities I've ever signed my son up for. As an 8 year old with ADHD, many activities and sports are challenging for him to focus and stay in control, but Master Lee makes Tae Kwon Do fun, the right amount of challenging, and keeps the children disciplined. My son is learning life skills along with self defense and we have been very happy here!“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Master Shin and this TKD center. My son absolutely loves Master Shin and looks forward to every single class.

She is not only an exceptional master, but also an inspiring and patient teacher who truly cares about her students. We’ve seen incredible growth in our son’s confidence, discipline, and respect — not just in his Taekwondo skills, but in his character overall.
We moved to another town, but we still travel back to this TKD center because it’s simply that great. Highly recommend!“

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with my son’s kendo lessons. Master Kim is patient, respectful, and incredibly skilled at working with children. He creates a structured yet encouraging environment that teaches not only kendo techniques, but also discipline, focus, confidence, and respect for others.

My son looks forward to every class and has grown so much — both physically and mentally — since starting. Master Kim takes the time to guide each student and make sure they feel supported, regardless of skill level. It’s clear he truly cares about the students and the art of kendo.

I highly recommend these lessons to any parent looking for a meaningful and enriching martial arts experience for their child.“

“Triumph is a fantastic place for children to grow both physically and mentally. A nurturing environment that focuses on enabling kids rather than perfecting them from an early age. It encourages kids to grow and keep practicing. Coaches are excellent; they know how to motivate their students.

Amazing place. And we love to keep continuing.

Highly recommend it if you want your kid to grow in a caring and positively encouraged environment.“

Located conveniently in Palisades Park, it features many high level kenshi and an awesome master. I love the disciplined culture and the intensity of the practice here. I strongly recommend it to any serious kendoka looking for a traditional and challenging training environment!“

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!“

“My son has been attending Tiger Kim's school for a few years now and has really enjoyed his experience. The school is well-organized, communicative with parents, and has created a family-like environment for all its students. It also has a great waiting/seating area where you can watch your kid's class. The Masters train the kids with a healthy balance of discipline and fun and are very supportive and patient. There are also a lot of fun activities planned for the kids during the year like a spring picnic, holiday party, and a Halloween party. In general, I would highly recommend Tiger Kim's Taekwondo school for kids of all ages.“
