Black Belt America of Morganville

Highly recommend! Master Yu is the best, and my son loves him. In addition to that, the classes teach students' authentic Korean culture, reinforce constant values of respect and discipline, but also provide a healthy balance of tough love. It took ten minutes with Master Yu in a trial class, and all the kids wanted to sign up.

The Taekwando class ( Black Belt America of Morganville) is amazing and my kid has been attending classes since Jan 2022 for about 7+ months and he absolutely loves the class and will get ready go to class after coming back home from school. Master Yu has a special way of teaching that encourages/motivates kids to come to class with enthusiasm. All the masters ( Bianca, Kim, Dillon, Allison, to name a few ) including Yu and all support staff are very friendly and overall a great experience so far. Would definitely recommend for my friends. My kid's attention, bilateral coordination has improved significantly. We are very happy for taking the decision to bring my kid to Taekwando class in Black belt America, Morganville. Master Yu is awesome and encourage kids to perform well.

Master Yoo and team are great at teaching the kids about focus, discipline, and confidence. You truly see it in everything they do. My kids love coming and look at Master Yoo as a mentor.

So great for my 9 year old son! He has been going for a few months now and cannot get enough. It's not just Korean martial arts, it's also discipline and respect to peers and adults, it's games and competitions, it's monthly movie nights or ice socials and much more. Kids are so motivated to do well in school, be kind to their siblings and read more to get ahead for "Reading Belt" (stuff is very creative).
Master Yoo makes sure everyone is a part of each class and a part of the big Taekwondo family.

I signed up my 7-year old daughter in February 2022, she said I needed to sign up too because she can't protect me 24/7, she will have her own job, so I did)). We both absolutely love it. Master Yoo is amazing, the classes are fun, every time different, thus never boring/repetitive, he establishes immediate rapport with students, being that children or adults, and he is attuned to people's individual needs. My goal for my daughter was developing focus, paying attention, discipline, and respect. Every week our kids to submit "Job List" where they are to tell what they did to help around the house, whether they did well in school and behaved well at home. I was not sure whether this would work, but apparently it does! All I have to do when I get frustrated is to tell her I am telling Master Yoo. It is one thing for a parent to say something, but it is entirely different when someone else reinforces it, someone whom your child looks up to.
Also, I witnessed a test taking procedure recently, and I loved how Master Park sent every student (including teenagers), one by one, for everyone to watch, to their parents and tell them "Thank you, I love you" and give them a hug. It was beautiful to watch, very refreshing. So a separate thank you for that.
Master Yoo always demonstrates the kicks/punches/combinations himself, and that is great to see. Apparently, at some dojos (like karate in Morganville my daughter tried a couple of times before we came here), the instructor cannot even move, not even jumping jacks. I think it is important to have a visual of how something should look like when done properly.
They have regular "Night-out for parents", when kids have a chance to run around, play games, eat pizza, watch a movie etc. My daughter loves those.
I hope this will be helpful to someone who is thinking of signing up, there are so many places in the area, but they are not the same, do your research, but better yet, take a trial class to know what you are signing up for. We are very happy here. Hope you will be too!
