Kum Sung Karate is a international chain of Karate schools with the headquarters located in Toms…read moreRiver, NJ. Dr. Kum Sung is the owner and master of the school and has been here for decades. He is well known for his karate experience and expertise and is in the hall of fame for karate, From Korea, he was an instructor in the South Korean military services. Drawing on his 50 years of Karate experience, he has created the school on Hooper Avenue, down in Lacey, Manchester, Brick, Ohio and Germany. His videos are on Youtube and he had/has a movie career with the Karate Kid movies, and the Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles (which he and his son were in). The basic teaching of the school is not fighting but respect. From respect for all things, the school teaches Korean based Tae Kwon Do and other martial arts with the focus again, not on fighting but the art of martial arts. In the two and half years that Master Manny Rivera of the Manchester School has taught my children and meeting everyone at the Hooper school, I'm very pleased with the methods and instructions my children are learning in the art of Martial arts. While I'm sure everyone has an opinion of what they are looking for in a martial arts school, you should certainly consider Kum Sung Karate for yourself and your family. There are many different forms taught and you can learn self defense, weapons, fans, but most of all respect for yourself and others.

Went here for a 2 week free trial (4 classes) for my 2 year old son. Decided i liked it, purchased…read morea groupon for 1 month of classes. Would not honor it because i already used 4 classes in my FREE TRIAL. So now my PAID groupon is no good? She tried saying that in the fine print, it was considered "combining offers" okay fine, then i showed them through my employer and company website, im supposed to have a certain deal as well. which again they didnt honor because it was old??? even though it clearly states NO EXPIRATION DATE. Then they tried to tell me its 160 dollars per month for 1 day a week for a 2 year old....BUT give me a "great price" at 130 per month. Plus a 50 reg fee. This place is a RIP OFF. i called another local karate gym, that doesnt start kids until theyre older, however they charge much less for 1 day a week of classes. They just want money and do not honor any specials or coupons and use sales pitchs to get you to buy in. I dont reccomend.
