Best Taekwondo School in New Jersey!  If you are in or around the Newark, NJ area, you should…read morecertainly stop in to say hello to Vinny.  I have known Vinny a long time now in the Martial Arts world and he has taught me much of my current craft, self defense and overall exercise skills.  Such a gentle soul with a kick that could bust a door clear off its hinges!   You will instantly see he keeps his office, exercise room and studio area very, very clean.  This is something I'm picky about as I've seen many other places to train all over the country that are completely falling apart and reek of High School Gym Locker room odors... but not here at Team Raposa Taekwondo.  Easily accessible through public transit all over Newark and Vinny really cares about this neighborhood from the bottom of his heart, since he spent much of his life growing up and working here.  Also, this spot is English, Spanish and Portuguese language friendly, good for all fighting tongues!  While I was traveling abroad in Taiwan he was even nice enough to send me videos of training ideas to stay fit while abroad.  He will always be planning tournaments and competitions for Taekwondo which is especially great for all the young kids! All in all, I highly recommend going here if any one is trying to grow their Martial Arts Skills, support a local Newark small business, stay in shape and excel in Taekwondo... Team Raposa is the place to do it.  Vinny will make you feel right at home just as he always has for me!

He attends at least three classes a week including the Tuesday sparring class. We even signed up for their summer camp in the summer of 2023 which was a big hit. Can't say enough great things about this place. They've done a great job preparing him for tournaments and he is an active participant. Full disclosure, my kid has raging ADHD and Taekwondo has really been a positive influence. He's already a blue belt and says he wants to become a black belt and an instructor when he grows up.

For parents, the schedule is super flexible, especially for the little ones having 2-3 options per day.

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.
