The people here are family to me, and starting classes here and sticking with it has been one of the best things I've done. Master Lee, Master Sim, Instructor Shin, and Master Cathy are superb and dedicated instructors, who skillfully guided my sons through reaching high color belts and have mentored me through achieving my 1st and 2nd Dan black belts, in challenging and rewarding training that showed me a path to a strong, healthy, better life. The instruction is first-rate, with an excellent balance of group exercises and individual attention tailored to each student's present skills and rough spots, such that we are constantly challenged at an appropriate level and guided to improve and achieve. I attended family classes with my sons, and we each also attended age- and level-appropriate class of our own, which makes a great combination. Taekwondo offers an engaging range of skills to practice, from choreographed "forms", sparring moves, and self-defenses that coordinate mental and physical discipline and focus, to stretching, kicking and punching drills, board breaking, obstacle courses, and warm-up jogging and calisthenics. This makes it easy to find both activities you like and new skills to master. Sparring classes bring it all together with the opportunity to "get in the ring" and build perception, reflexes, and endurance in friendly competition. I love the continual challenge and always look forward to each session. The class environment is genial and supportive of all students, and seeing others around you give their best is fantastic motivation to stretch yourself to advance beyond your own limits. The instructors organize additional activities that greatly enrich the experience, including a summer camp, movie nights for the kids (a.k.a. date nights for parents!), hikes, bringing in competition-level student instructors, and opportunities to compete in state and national tournaments. Having competed in six NJ tournaments at various belt levels, I highly recommend the experience, as it offers expanded challenges and opens up a whole new world of Taekwondo. This program enriches lives and brings wonderful people together and is well worth checking out. I highly recommend this excellent Taekwondo school! -- Come train with us!

I had always wanted to take a martial arts class and when I was ready to do so, I did some research…read moreand found that there was a very reputable gym close by. I could have taken the 30-day free trial, but after one class, I decided to join for a full year and have just recently re-signed for another. Up until this time I have concentrated on jiu jitsu but will be adding kickboxing shortly. For those contemplating whether to join, Training Grounds is an excellent destination for a number of reasons. As with any new venture, there is always the intimidation factor, but immediately, the friendly demeanor of both the staff and students put me at ease. Master Wil does a great job of putting training plans together and after demonstrating a move, works with every training pair to provide input, encouragement, and helpful tips. His enthusiasm is evident and his teaching skills are top notch. Along with Wil, the support staff has been excellent as well. Over the past year, I have trained with many different guys (and girl) and everyone has been great. Regardless of experience and skill level, everyone is willing to help each other to further their knowledge and improve their techniques. This is a product of Wil cultivating a family environment at the gym. When I first joined, my goal was to learn to better defend myself and get into better shape. My flexibility, strength, and cardio certainly improved and as part of a healthy lifestyle, has helped me drop 25 lbs and 7% body fat. If you are looking for a gym or are on the fence about joining, stop in and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

I have never taken any of these classes but the instructors are so knowledgeable, observant, and patient. They made me feel comfortable every time I went to class.

Augie also takes great pride in his establishment and provides the best equipment so we are always protected. Additionally, the other students are welcoming, knowledgeable, and are always willing to help you. Everyone is always looking out for each other and it truly feels that you belong to a family there. You will not regret spending your time, money, and energy here.

I felt like i got a good total body workout, and the time flew by. The parking lot is a little tricky to get to. If you have any problems, just call them and they will direct you where to park.

Seeing my son more engaged and willing to learn and try new things is part of what is being taught here including self discipline.
