Full circle allows you to go up to 6 times a week for the same price as once a week. Sensai Jackson is an outstanding instructor! He is patient, but firm with the kids.

They even have Parent Survival Nights every month or so. This allows kids, regardless of being students, to attend a fun night of activities, games, and overall fun stuff. All this while the parents can have adult time and enjoy a few hours away from their kids. We love it!! If you are looking for a quality Dojang, Full Circle is the place to go.

Through the teaching of Charles Jackson, I was able to cope with my emotions, and learned to control it. Without it, I wouldn't be where I am today. Through my years of training under Charles Jackson, I learned patience, and more importantly learned how to lead by example. As I moved up in the ranks, I began to teach under Charlie Jackson, and began to teach the same concepts that he passed on to me, and was able to help others the same way. I watched many students that I helped teach, begin to teach others. In this sense, our small circle began to grow. I am proud of each and every one of the instructors and students. It was an honor to work with and learn from the Full Circle Dojang Family. With much love, Matthew Maringola

Located in the old school building beside St. Denis Church, it's a wonderful (and affordable) place to boost your fitness, relieve stress, and learn self-defense in a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Sensei Tim Vazquez, a former police officer, brings extensive experience, patience, and kindness to every class. The classes are inclusive, with a great mix of men and women, young and old, making it a perfect place for the whole family. No matter your experience level, Sensei Tim provides just the right amount of challenge to help you grow. The vibe is warm and inviting, with a genuine sense of community that makes everyone feel comfortable. Highly recommend! www.acnjmanasquan.com

He trains Defensive Tactics for law enforcement professionals so there is always an emphasis on practical effectiveness, something I was looking for in a traditional martial art. He teaches the full spectrum of Aikido, from soft, to hard, to powerful flowing techniques. The dojo itself is very traditional with a kamiza hand-built by one of the students, and a large practice area covered in good quality tatami mats. Once you walk in the door you immediately want to get onto the mats and start training. This school is part of the Aikido Centers of New Jersey, a group of dojos under Chief Instructor Sensei Greg O'Connor, 6th Dan. Membership at ACNJ Manasquan includes membership at all 9 locations in NJ and PA. I have found the instructors at these schools, and their senior students, to be very supportive and welcoming during my Aikido journey, and I have made many new friends along the way.
