Regarding Our Program
The core martial art taught at the school is Taekwon-Do. All-Star Taekwon-Do is one of a handful of schools in New Jersey licensed to teach Under Grandmaster Choi, Jung Hwa, son of the Founder of Taekwon-Do, and Master Robert N. Wheatley, president of the United States International Taekwon-Do Federation. Some of the self-defense and weaponry taught at the school are from other martial art systems including Arnis, Hapkido, and Tang-Soo Do.
Our school is affiliated internationally with the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) and nationally with the United States International Taekwon-Do Federation (USITF).
Classes are offered Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. We offer separate classes for children and adults. In a typical class the student to instructor ratio is usually 1 black belt instructor for every 10 students. Mr. Malefyt personally teaches almost every class.
All classes are taught using positive motivation to help every student reach their maximum potential. Safety is a key concern at the school. All students are taught proper Taekwon-Do etiquette in terms of safety and approved sparring gear must be worn during sparring sessions. Our classes are offered exclusively at Sports University, a state of the art athletic training facility. SU offers a wide range of sports specific instruction by top athletes, a spacious locker room (complete with showers), and plenty of parking.
