Union Martial Arts offers a number of programs and disciplines. I train there in the Sami Combat System as Sensei Nichols is an amazing Instructor and the only Authorized Sami Instructor in the entire United States. The Kid's training camps and programs are also second to none. I highly recommend this Dojo.

I did exclusive research to find our daughter a very good karate school. I end up finding this…read moreschool while I was on google and it had 5 stars. My spouse and I talked about it for awhile and end up setting up a appointment to see what it was about. Our daughter loved the one on one training during the appointment and the good thing about this school is it is martial arts so it's a little of everything. This is perfect because her father learned martial arts so he was also happy about the school. The rate is reasonable and the uniforms are so nice and comfortable for the children. All of the instructors bring their A game when it comes to every day classes. Our daughter is getting the hang of it right off the bat and she memorized the moves and names of the moves instantly! Thank you team for your hard work with the children , teens and adults !

This is my third style of martial arts, and I absolutely love it... I started here many years ago myself, after sitting on the sidelines watching my two young girls take class week after week... The mirrors reflecting the energy and determination on the kids faces as they kicked their way across the polished wood floors. I couldn't stay seated. Hwang karate is a great way to keep body AND mind stimulated.

Finally, they teach to respect your parents, sibling and yourselves. Other karate studios are really lacking on discipline and training and from my opinion are bizarre versions of fight club for kids. Good job Apex, thank you.

If you have kids/teens and live in the Essex/Union county (NJ) areas, PLEASE READ THIS POST…read more I am a 1st Degree Black Belt in Shotokan, I have taught in the past and on occasion I help out in my son's classes. However, 95% of the time, when I take him to Karate, I sit in the truck and have a cigar. If I'm on that mat he's going to be paying attention to me. No matter what activity is going on; even when we're working in different groups, he will always watch me to see what I'm doing. Sure, I can teach my son MY set of skills, but Master Robert Hylton is connected with a vast number of highly skilled fighters & Instructors with decades on top of decades of experience, and because I'm not a hypocrite, when I tell my son I want him to be better than me that means I have to expose him to teachers who are better than me.
