My son, a third grader, has been an active student at Glen Ridge Taekwondo for over 18 months. He…read moreabsolutely loves his Grandmaster, instructors and fellow students. 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. For the kids, the staff are always kind, and hold a firm, stern line with the kids if they are misbehaving, which is always handled well. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to start up with Taekwon-do.

Several years ago, my younger son's trusted, dedicated, amazing preschool teacher recommended that…read morehe start Tae-Kwon-Do during a parent-teacher conference. At age 3, she recognized that my son was bright, creative and had a TON of energy. She suggested that we check out Talium in Bloomfield, as that's where her 2 grown sons went when they were younger. (Even after all those years, she remembered Master Mike fondly.) Here we are almost 4 years later and my oldest son (10 y.o.) is soon testing for his black belt and my youngest (almost 8 y.o.) is now a purple belt. Master Mike, Master Kris, Instructor Gavin, Instructor Matthew, and Master Trish are like our family of coaches. My boys have not only learned Tae-Kwon-Do skills, physical training, self-defense but they have also learned self-discipline, respect, and character education. The school and the masters/teachers have worked tirelessly with us as parents to strengthen the "home-school" connection so that the child receives the same message regarding listening, following multi-step directions, responsibility and respect (just to name a few). I visited a few studios before we committed to Talium. I ultimately chose Talium because of the layout of the facilities, the methods of teaching (not game-based, but curriculum based), the significance of Korean culture and the clarity of instruction. A bonus that I learned over the years is that this location is indeed accredited in South Korea. I highly recommend Talium Bloomfield Martial Arts for your child! They have a wonderful team of masters/instructors who come to know your child and love them (sometimes, tough love!) by supporting their instruction and character development. The community of families that join add to the positive experience. Thank you, Talium, for all your years of dedication and commitment to my boys' growth!

Not only have I built skill, strength, and confidence, the atmosphere of being welcomed and being part of a team is exceptional. Master Burhan has fostered my growth, and allows opportunities for leadership, which I am beyond grateful for. Initially I was a shy student, and now I help assist lead my class as well as teach younger students. I am excited to encourage participation in our younger generations, and continue to improve my personal growth and taekwondo skills. As a parent, I would advocate for all parents and caregivers to enroll their children here, it does not feel like a business, rather a place of community. TOP skills that I've seen increase profoundly in myself and others is technique, discipline, respect, and confidence, and these skills carry over into school and at home.

New Jersey Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan has been an amazing experience for our youngest child, who…read moresometimes takes a while to warm up to people and new situations. Yet within a couple of weeks, we saw in him a new confidence and an eagerness to attend class and demonstrate his newfound skills, which was a big change, especially with other sports we had tried. Steve is a kind of kid-whisperer in how he teaches classes, instilling in the students a healthy respect for the traditions of tae kwon do and providing encouragement every step of the way. Our child progressed through increasing belt levels regularly, and he was deservedly proud of his accomplishments. The space itself is airy, clean and well-lighted, which makes it a pleasure to visit. We're thankful for the positive impact it's had on our kid!
