NJKMA is a great program for kids of all ages. It teaches not only the art of Tang Soo Do but encourages teamwork, leadership, and self-confidence. Through my 9 year journey as a student, I’ve gone from a young white belt to an assistant instructor ready to test for my second-degree black belt. The discipline and work ethic that karate has taught me carries over into other aspects of my life. Sensei James and Master Matt have been the guiding force through my journey; being able to make karate both challenging and fun for everyone.
