For nearly 30 years, JC Taekwondo and Kickboxing Academy has been the #1 Martial Arts School in Downtown Jersey City. Founded by Master Felix Claudio, our Martial Arts School has taught thousands of people, just like you, how to obtain their goals and accomplish their dreams (not to mention get their Black Belts and get into serious shape)!
There will be no physical contact between students and many practice drills will be conducted on kicking pads and shields. Students will be taught lessons in the proper time and situations for use of their new-found skills.
The overarching goal of the our Little Dragons Program is to build our student's self esteem, which we do by acknowledging, recognizing and rewarding not just our student's accomplishments and successes, but their efforts as well.Our emphasis goes far beyond just learning physical moves and martial arts techniques.

We have the ultimate way to build confidence, self-esteem, develop self-discipline, self-control, and athletic skills, while having lots of fun! We help teens develop skills to overcome their fears and successfully deal with life challenges in high school and beyond. Our program strives to provide our teens with the self-confidence and focus they need to make it in today's world.
The Adult Program helps our students, at whatever stage in life they may be, to better deal with the daily stress that we all face and relax in an atmosphere of mutual respect and consideration among people striving towards common goals. Classes are enjoyable, yet serious. There is an increased emphasis on physical fitness, with extensive stretching and aerobic conditioning.
Designed by Master Claudio in 1993 and to this day there is no program at any gym that can match it. Master Claudio takes fitness to an entirely new level. Taking martial art based techniques and adding the fundamentals of kickboxing has turned normal men and women into super fit fearless fight specialists.

It is a kid friendly place where they are taught Taekwondo in a good way. Higher levels have contact sparring with serious protection. The rigor is not world class but kids enjoy it. The place is reasonably clean, not spotless and the front desk is friendly. They have monthly and yearly plans costing from $80-120 month depending on commitment term. They have trial classes and Groupons too ( I got started with one).

We sent our son there for two of years, good experience at first than he no longer wanted to go, we cancelled our membership yet they continued to charge my credit card, we contacted them and they still continued, disputed charges for 5 months , every month refunded, yet they continued to charge our card, had to get credit card company to block them from continuing and again six months later today I see another charge. I wonder how many parents they have done this to! Very annoying and for an establishment that stresses honor and respect sure not following it from a financial standpoint, beware

My 8-year old daughter Nyasha started at JC Taekwondo early September and have since then not stopped talking about the team, the instructors and how much fun it is. Everybody are incredible nice yet commands respect. My only negative comment would be "why didn't we start earlier?". Plan on joining myself - seems like the best work-out possible.
Cheers to all at JC Taekwondo!

Can't tell how important JC Taekwondo was for my son. Our biggest loss, when we moved from JC, was because he couldn't attend Taekwondo anymore. He misses his classes, misses the Masters so much! My son got beautiful and very important lessons, life lessons, discipline, respect! Always taught with so much love and dedication!

Our daughter Molly has been at the Academy for just over 2 years now and we have been VERY impressed with the instruction and the care that they take to help her progress.
Now she is a little older she helps teach one of the classes and there are other options for her to improve her strength and endurance.
The instructors are excellent and Viviana keeps the front of the house under control.
Thank you JC Taekwondo!

A great workout with wonderful instructors. What distinguishes JC TKD from other local gyms is the family atmosphere. Both my wife and I have developed close relationships with other cardio kickboxers. The instructors are passionate in providing challenging workouts and pushing the members to do their best. It's a sweaty, enjoyable experience.

JC Taekwondo is my home away from home. After moving to the NYC area from North Florida, I went to a number of dojos. I went to fancy franchises and independent small schools but didn't find a fit for my training schedule and personality. I thought I was suffering culture shock having moved from a small town in the south. Then I walked into JC Taekwondo and found my Jersey City family. The master instructors and entire club were welcoming and supportive from day one.
We train hard, play hard, take care of each other, and push each other to be our best in literally everything we do. I'm a better
