I'm 40 and hate running, get bored lifting weights, and didn't like buying pants with an inch larger waist. So happy that I found Otimo!! BJJ is mentally and physically challenging, but Tim breaks everything down into simple steps and the people who train here are super supportive. I've lost weight, made friends, and feel better equipped to handle stressful situations. Men and women, young and gray train. I was amazed when my 7 year old son watched a class and asked to try it. He's on the spectrum and struggles with team sports, but found his groove at Otimo. Couldn't be more proud of him or happier with Otimo. Hope to see you at class sometime.

During that time I strained my back working outside as a young student-in explaining this to Master Cha, he encouraged me to learn how to breathe...So, I would spend classes sitting in a corner focusing only on breathing; those lessons served me very well for the rest of my life and allowed me to progress as a competition fighter with other instructors that focused purely on physical training. If you want thoughtful, wise instruction for your kids or for yourself as an adult new to martial arts look no further, Master Cha is a first class human being. And make no mistake, his lessons carry over to the street in case you find yourself in a corner and must fight your way out which is handy. To me, this has happened very rarely as his first lesson was to cross the street if I saw trouble in front of me. Smart man.

Mr. Mayer, Mr. Scielzo & Mr. Harris are fully committed to their students - the team has NOT changed over last 6 years. They each have 15+ years of experience working with children that have special needs. While the teachers allow all students to progress at their own pace, they also encourage the kids to get outside their comfort zone & become the best version of themselves. Throughout class, the instructors encourage themes including focus, listening to instructions & respecting each other. Classes are upbeat, positive & fun. There is also a sense of community at the studio, which deeply resonates with our family. Visit a class, watch a student pass their "belt test" or attend a tournament - it's a humbling experience & one which our family sincerely appreciates!

Prior to attending TKD All In, my son lacked confidence and the ability to speak up. Master Kim over the past 2 years not only helped him find his passion in TKD, but more deeply, helped him with his confidence. Seeing my son more engaged and willing to learn and try new things is part of what is being taught here including self discipline. TKD All In isn't just a dojang to learn TKD, it's a place where children can find their confidence and discipline with the help of a Master who cares. I'm glad we found a forever dojang for my son.

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!
