Martial Arts Schools near Parlin

“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.“

“EMA is an amazing martial arts school. Inaaya just love this and she’s always beyond excited for her class. Watching her interest in Martial Arts and watching her grow in this our heart is full. 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’ve only been at AMA for a week, and I’m already blown away by the dedication of Professor Noto, his staff, and the students in both the teen and adult classes. All the reviews I read beforehand and the Facebook posts are 100% real unlike experiences we’ve had at other schools in the past.
Professor Noto really promotes camaraderie, friendship, and respect for yourself and others, and you can tell he genuinely cares about each student. He takes the time to correct, guide, and pay attention to every individual and group. I already love being here.“

“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!“

“My son looks forward to going to jui jitsu every week. The coaches are great with children. They create a fun environment for them to learn and train. I’m very happy I picked Inferno.“

“Amazing and caring place! Mr. Kang is very good with kids and making sure that not only kiddos are disciplined but they’re having fun as well. Highly recommend!!!“

“Tiger Schulmann’s Tottenville is amazing! Sensei Pace, Joshu Ricky, all our Sempai’s, and instructors are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about their students. Each instructor is highly respected by not only the parents, but by each and every student who attends classes there.

Classes are well-structured, welcoming, and focused on building confidence, discipline, and respect.

Tiger Schulmann’s Tottenville is more than just a martial arts school, it’s a place where your child will grow into the best version of themselves.

Highly recommend!!!“

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

“My 11 and 8 year old boys have a great time and they are learning a ton. They’ve made it a very easy process to get started. Just walk your kids in for a sample class, you won’t regret it.“

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

“Great studio for beginners. The instructors are clear and firm with the students, but make the structure of the martial art fun. It’s also a great place for your kids to learn how to mentor, since they have student mentors helping and guiding in every class.“

“I highly recommend Fatjo's MMA in Morganville. The owner, Jerry Fatjo, is always on-site and often joins the kids on the mats, focusing on technique and discipline. The instructors are highly skilled, very patient with the kids, and make learning fun.“

“My son joined Tigers about 3 years ago, and since his first time practicing Taekwondo he was hooked! The teacher and staff really get to know the children and develop trusting relationships. My sons focus and discipline has come such along way. He will continue to attend Tigers as he advances into new belt colors and learning new techniques! We love Tigers!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“The instructor teaches well, the facility is large and clean, and the staff are friendly. Parking is also convenient. It's a place you can trust.“
