Not only can master Phil teach young children and adult new comers the disciplines of TKD, but he can also teach and help experienced black belts focus on small nuances and unfold greater potential.

Joining Master Taekwondo is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Master Phil is…read morean exceptional teacher and mentor. Both humble and understanding, he goes above and beyond to share his knowledge of Taekwondo. He is transparent about costs and how he compares to others in the industry. Master Phil excels at making people become the best version of themselves both in and outside of the gym. His teaching style is unparalleled. He has multiple ways to explain a technique or movement to the student depending on their interests/hobbies and notices every single detail to help improve a student's execution. He personally guides you through each training session and quips little jokes here and there. The gym itself is spacious and has high quality training gear. Master Taekwondo is a welcoming environment for anyone of all ages and walks of life. Whether you are a complete beginner like I was or an experienced martial artist or simply just looking for a good workout, Master Taekwondo is the perfect fit that you will quickly learn to call home.

I have never used JSK for martial arts instruction, but I have benefited greatly from their…read moreservices and character. Specifically, in the emergency that befell Flemington in Hurricane Ida. We were en route to a family wedding near Doylestown, PA, and arrived at the US202S-South Main Street intersection the evening of September 1, 2021 as Ida's flash flooding hit Flemington. The rescues reported in the media were extraordinary.  Once they had plucked an endangered soul from the raging intersection, and had "deposited" him or her on high ground (many on the Point Mall knoll at 245 US202S), they returned to the floodwaters to save others. But what became of the numerous soaked, cold people they deposited?  There was immediate need, but no care services (like Red Cross) were available because road access for hand-off care providers was non-existent. We can tell you what DID become of about 30-35 stranded souls from about 7:30 PM to midnight: the JSK Taekwondo studio unhesitatingly stepped up and opened its doors to all comers.  JSK's on-duty staffer was a model practitioner of The Golden Rule.  Not only did he provide a safe, warm place out of the storm for the terrified people on his doorstep, he offered what food and warm clothes he could.  And not incidentally, he also made bathrooms available, not only to the refugees under his roof, but also to those who had driven to high ground in the Mall and parked outside the studio for 4-6 hours.  All of this came at great personal cost ro the staffer, having to re-clean the studio from his dripping and dirty charges, before endeavoring to make the long trip home himself to Basking Ridge.  Given the road closures that night, I suspect that he may have ended up sleeping overnight at the studio. I'm sure that JSK's extraordinary kindness is reflected equally capably in its instruction, and I hope this review encourages many locals to seek out JSK's martial arts instruction.

Our entire family looks forward to going and we always feel as though we're part of the Freedom (Freeman family)!!! Our son has been in the martial arts program since their doors opened and we are very pleased with how well Freedom program compares to others. Hands down much better and I have recommended to many of my close friends and family members. Kyle puts his heart and soul into building confidence, positive attitude and respect into all aspects of his programs. The differentiator with other programs is that he spends much more time with his students in helping to build strong character and leadership qualities, and he ensures the students understand how to approach difficult situations, such as bullying. Freedom also has a fantastic fitness program which has changed our entire outlook on personal fitness. My wife and I have been taking his fitness program for almost 18 months now and we are both in the best shape of our lives. As with his martial arts students, he reinforces a positive attitude allowing for continuous improvement. We always look forward to going whenever we have a chance.

It's been an excellent experience training at PAMA. I wish I had discovered this gym much earlier!…read more Sifu Mike, Sixiong Max, Sihing Harry, along with the other instructors are all phenomenal and encompass an extraordinary blend of expertise and professionalism paired with a respectable degree of gravity towards self-defense/martial arts. Sifu Mike and the PAMA staff manage to greet each student by name, which shows their intentionality towards knowing, developing, and valuing each individual student. The dedicated classes for Jun Fan Gung Fu/JKD, Muay Thai, and Kali are taught with a high level of expertise and structure. Admittedly, I gravitate towards formats that are disciplined and structured. As a result, I've thoroughly enjoyed the composition of the classes at PAMA. The instructors are always prepared with a lesson agenda for delivering quality content through warm-ups, technique breakdowns, and partner drills. While martial arts are taught in a fantastic way at PAMA, in the very words and encouragement that's often shared with their students--it's truly up to the individual to develop and progress through the time and dedication one puts forth. You get what you put in! Come and check PAMA out--it's definitely worth it!

I'm sharing my experience with both billing and program structure…read more From a billing standpoint, I enrolled at a discounted rate secured through an upfront payment. On early termination, I was still required to pay a fee for months not attended, and that fee was calculated using the non‑discounted rate rather than the rate I had prepaid for. The combined effect was a higher charge applied to unused time. This was confirmed as standard policy, and no adjustment was made. From a training perspective, progression was not clearly defined. A curriculum existed but was only shared upon request, and classes did not make sequencing or advancement explicit. Without a grading system or clear milestones, it was difficult to understand how skills were intended to build over time. Overall, this combination significantly impacts the value of the program relative to its cost. Prospective members should look closely at both the billing terms and how progression is structured before enrolling.

We love this place…read more My daughter has been attending classes for a few years now, and my son is expected to start this spring. Susan (Ma'am) is fantastic & runs a great studio with strong, fair, & competent instructors: -if your child or you are new, try out some classes, for a few WEEKS. -Shy child? Join the class with your child, or another child will help yours out (this translates even outside the studio, ie when siblings from class helped my daughter adjust to chess class at the library--great character building instructors!). -Special needs children? They're welcome too and no one bats an eye, the way it should be. -Classes M-Sa. (MWF 4:30, TTH 5:30, Sa I don't know, but this is great if you've missed a class due to illness, other activities, long weekends, etc.) -Multiple kids? I would have to confirm, but I think that after the 3rd one, others are gratis. -There's a parking lot & if you don't or can't cook, Lucy's Kitchen is 2 doors down to pick up dinner. -Having a bad day? Ma'am will check on you and give you some helpful words, including reminding you how good your kids were in class while you were running after the crazy one. -Charity: collections for Homefront & Breast Cancer, annual run on Father's Day, more that I can't remember. -Self defense classes offered to women and older girls a few times a year, for free -GREAT instructors: they are fair & they understand children & their abilities, but also push them with positive reinforcement. If my child is acting up, they focus on the children who are acting like black belts and commend those students. If you, as a parent, don't think your child should get a reward, the instructors know and respond accordingly. -If you have little kids not yet in class and the back mats are free, you can entertain your crazy one. -The star system: for good behaviour, paying attention, and acting like a black belt, there are paper stars: 10 paper stars=1 blue star to attach to your uniform or card if you're a Tiny Tiger. 10 books or following a star chart at home? 1 gold star. Attending TKD events? Red stars. Positive reinforcement. -Whole families are involved--Mom, Dad, sisters, brothers. They train together & go to tournaments together. If you're not that type, that's okay too. You're free to stare at your iPhone or Macbook or novel during class, but you also don't need to be there--it's monitored and the instructors know who is or isn't there at all times--your kids will NOT be lost or allowed to wander off. I'm not sure how they do it, but they do (hence, I'm not a teacher). My kids are still little, and *I* am not quite ready for them to train in weapons. I keep adding the number of stars my daughter needs before we make that leap. She is learning discipline & friendship. She tries, but she's still little & used up her focus at school. For me, that's frustrating, but I've also seen her grow these past few years. The environment is safe, sane, fun. The kids and instructors are great. I myself am learning more patience simply by watching the class. I know my kids will eventually become black belts--they may become more serious, or not, but do they need it? Yes. Particularly my daughter, but it will be good for my son too. Thanks Ma'am!
