Martial Arts Schools near Rahway

“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!“

“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!“

“Our family highly recommends Master Curry. My daughter loves it!! We’ve never seen her so dedicated to anything before …other than her comic books :)“

“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!!!“

“Great Instructors. Very knowledgable of what they teach. Excellent BBJ Classes and Instructors. Highly recommend for any age.“

“This review is long overdue. Professor Mike and Rita, thank you for everything. Your kindness, guidance, and dedication gave me the skills and foundation to become a successful MMA fighter — including winning a championship belt. I still think about the academy and training there often. Even though I’ve moved to New Jersey, I’ll always be grateful for what you gave me on and off the mats. Thank you again.

“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 two sons, ages 6 and 3, have been attending satori for about 5 months. All the teachers are very kind and patient. They know how to appropriately interact and engage with the kids. They do a wonderful job working on karate skills while also making it fun for the age level. I would highly recommend satori to anyone interested in enrolling their child in karate.“

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

“If you are considering starting your martial arts journey or looking for a new studio to call home, I wholeheartedly recommend Moo Duk Kwan HQ (formerly known as Hwang Karate). Master Erik Orella is a world-class Instructor and a Certified Sa Bom ("Instructor of Instructors") who can effectively relate to individuals of all ages and ranks. He is extremely talented at tailoring his guidance to suit your level and goals.The classes are well-structured and dynamic, keeping each session engaging and challenging. Beyond the benefits of physical fitness and mental focus, the studio instills valuable life lessons such as discipline, perseverence, and respect. Moo Duk Kwan HQ is much more than a place to train - it's a place to grow, learn and become the best version of yourself!“

“Amazing instructors who really care about the success and improvement of their students. A true credit to ATA and martial arts as a whole.“

“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.“

“We’ve had a wonderful experience at Master Yoo Summit Taekwondo! The instructors are outstanding — patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping every child grow. They not only teach excellent Taekwondo skills but also focus on important life lessons like respect, discipline, and confidence.

The classes are well-structured, fun, and full of positive energy. It’s clear that the instructors care deeply about each student’s progress.

Highly recommend Master Yoo Summit Taekwondo to any parent looking for a program that builds strong minds and strong bodies!“

“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.“

“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.“
