“My daughter has grown so much since joining Absolute. The instructors are truly amazing - patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled. We’ve seen a huge improvement in her discipline and self-confidence, and she genuinely looks forward to every class. I couldn’t be happier with the positive impact this place has had on her!“

“Simply the best program for kids I’ve seen. My son loves it and always wants to come back. Been here over a year. Highly recommended. Yanni is awesome with the kids.“

“Bill Stevens is a great Karate coach for kids. Our kid loved his class, and insisted to come twice a week despite we sometimes would have a schedule conflict. Bill, in my opinion, invest a lot of time to make his class fun and educative. It’s not just a karate class, but a life lesson to teach the kids discipline while keeping them entertained.

Thank you Sensei!“

“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!“

“At first my child was hesitant but both Master John and Sam were very welcoming. She now looks forward to class and is eager to learn Taekwondo. United Taekwondo not only teaches valuable self defense skills but also encourages respect and discipline. Highly recommend!“

“Both of our kids attend Master Kim’s Taekwondo, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. We drive almost an hour each way just to come here and it is 100% worth it. There may be closer schools, but there is nowhere else like this one.

Master Kim is truly an exceptional instructor. He doesn’t just teach kicks and forms. He teaches discipline, respect, confidence, and perseverance. He really sees each child and knows how to challenge them while still encouraging them. The structure is strong and consistent, but there’s also so much care behind it. You can tell he genuinely wants every student to grow, not just in martial arts, but in character.

The assistant instructors are also amazing — caring, attentive, and very supportive. And the overall atmosphere is something special. The students encourage each other, show respect, and create such a positive environment. As a parent, that means everything.

We are so grateful we found this place. Even with the long drive, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Excellent skills building and confidence booster for my son, this type of technique in taekwondo teaches lifelong skills- so grateful!!“

“Tiger Schulman’s in Ramsey is the best, top notch Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing classes for kids!! We have both our kids (ages 9 and 5) enrolled for over 2 years and we have nothing but great things to say!! Ryan and Andrew are both amazing instructors and Sensei Rapoport runs a great program. Highly highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“Great classes. Master Joe is good with the kids... Perfect place for kids to learn discipline.“

“I have had the pleasure of traveling at the Judokai of Fairfield for a year now and I have to say I truly wish I joined sooner! Sensei Kevin Costello greets everyone with a smile and a warm welcome. I truly appreciate that heknows how to teach people of all ages and experience as that has allowed my wife and I to both train here and grow in the great sport of Judo. I truly recommend this place to all who wish to either begin their martial arts training or further advance what they have learned prior. Overall, being a part of the Judokai has been one of my best decisions in a long time!“

“My son is obsessed with going to Karate every week! I would highly recommend checking this place out.“

“Master Moon is one in a million. 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.“

“There is a very focused and practical atmosphere that pervades the training. Very good experience.“

They are great with handling all different personalities and my kids have learned so mucg . I can not recommend them
Enough! Five stars!“

“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!“

“Justin is the dedicated owner of The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts Karate School located here in Saddle Brook. He possesses a natural talent for working with children and exhibits the patience of a saint. Initially, I discovered the school as my daughter used to pass by it on her way to music lessons due to its close proximity. I arranged a tryout for my daughter, and ever since that day, she has eagerly embraced her martial arts journey.

My daughter's fondness for the school and her admiration for Justin have only grown stronger over the past year. She looks forward to attending classes, even on days when they are not scheduled. I am truly impressed by Justin's commitment and the positive impact he has had on my daughter's life. As long as we reside in the area and the school continues to operate, we will remain loyal members of The Edge Ultimate Martial Arts Karate School.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Justin for his amazing dedication and the enriching experience he provides at the school.“

“The most kind and professional sensai I have met for both my children and myself. Highly recommend, your children will learn self confidence, respect, and responsibility.“
