From the Business

Specialties

Home to the original and traditional Korean unarmed art of self-defense, Complete Taekwon-Do is a place of learning and sincerity as a house of discipline. Emphasizing principles of hard work, dedication, consistency, compassion, and respect in all forms, we believe Taekwon-Do can be made both engaging and enjoyable for everyone from all walks of life. Our instructors are not only dedicated to the improvement of our students Taekwon-Do skills, but to their individual growth and development in all areas of their lives. We maintain that Taekwon-Do is not only kicking and punching, but a fantastically simple and peaceful way of both thinking and living.

History

Established in 2018.

Opened August 1, 2018.

Meet the Business Owner: Chris M.

Unlike a gym or club Complete Taekwon-Do is run wiith combined experience of over 50 years by owners Grandmaster Mark Nathanson (8th degree black belt) and Master Chris Malarkey (5th degree black belt). Both instructors bring original, traditional, Taekwon-Do to the Bergenfield, NJ area and are students of 1st generation practitioner Grandmaster Suk Jun Kim (9th degree black belt), an original ITF Demonstration Team member and student of Taekwon-Do's founder General Choi Hong Hi. Grandmaster Kim started his first school in Bergenfield, NJ in the early1970s and remains active in NYC teaching classes and seminars all over the world. Being as close to the original source material, Masters Nathanson and Malarkey strive to harmonize natural instinct and proven technique through disicipline and focus while emphasizing the traditional principles of Taekwon-Do practice; courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit.

I was exhilarated to find Master Oh because I knew exactly what to look for in a "good" tae kwon do school. This is the real deal! After being at this school for almost 15 years, I still learn something new and improve every class. If it wasn't for Master Oh and his instructors, I would not have attempted to compete at the National US Open tournament. They know how to train champions.

My grandmother had purchased one of the original bungalows for $1500 in '46. Every summer except one until I was 21, I visited our family summer home. My children were 4th generation. Many of the families that returned each year were multi-generational. The special part of being a resident were the activities each day run by a hired camp counselor team. We had an orchestra from NYC play every Saturday night starting at 6 PM for the little kids, teenagers danced to records, then the band came back at 10 PM for the adults. We participated in all sports. My first kiss, first beer, first dance all happened at Cedar Grove. We lost our house in 1992 to a strong storm, and I understand the entire beach was decimated during hurricane Sandy. Of all my life long memories, Cedar Grove Beach Club is my most favorite, sacred of all others. I cherish those summers.

There are a few picnic tables and grills on the lawn. No pool lounge chairs or towel service so bring your own chairs, picnic blankets, food/snacks and other accoutrements to enjoy a leisurely summer day. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. Very kids/toddler-friendly. The sizeable shallow end has several sprinklers/splash fountains for children to play in, and there are slides on both the kiddie and adult sides. Also a playground in the back (not affiliated with the pool). There are always many life guards on duty every time I've gone. The pool is accessible only to Clarkstown residents and their guests, so if you're not a resident befriend someone who is. You must obtain a Clarkstown resident ID card first at the registration office at 31 Zukor Road in New City. (The pool won't simply accept a driver's license.) Rates can be either daily or seasonal for individuals or family, and are very reasonable compared to similar community pools.

It's no exaggeration that these monsters from the deep probably kept a legion of child psychiatrists in full time employment. On a recent visit it was nice to see that the previous snake-ridden den of iniquity has long been been replaced with a legitimate pool and that the mythological beasts of years past have been slayed by chlorine and actual cement walls. You can even see right to the bottom. What a concept. This is what Nanuet Lake should have been like all along... no thanks whatsoever to my parents who thought this was some tough love version of Shangri La, albeit minus the all consuming bliss one often finds in paradise. I kid about my parents (almost) and am happy to bestow five easy stars for a childhood reclaimed. I still hate snakes.

When I first signed up my kids I wasn't too sure how it would turn out knowing that the center was fairly new. Now I have my 4 children attending Complete Tae Kwon Do and I couldn't be happier with this center! The skills that all the Master's have is indescribable, I wouldn't take my kids anywhere else. Master Malarky, Master Nathan and Grand Master Kim are highly qualified instructors teaching our children the real structure and techniques of Tae Kwon Do. This center is capable of teaching any age group! I applaud you Complete Tae Kwon Do in Bergenfield, keep up the great work! I would definitely recommend this center to anyone and everyone! read more

Look no further for the best Taekwon-Do training! The most masterful TKD Masters teach here! You will obtain solid, comprehensive instruction while honing your skills. Master Malarkey and Grandmaster Nathanson have been instrumental in developing my confidence which helped tremendously with pattern execution during competitions. Their enthusiasm for teaching is undeniable and has fostered a beautiful blend between a challenging yet inviting community of likeminded peers to journey with. I'm so appreciative to be apart of the CTKD family! read more
