Our children have had the privilege of attending Taekwondo Elite for nearly six years, and their enthusiasm for the classes has only grown stronger with time. We are immensely grateful to Master Arkadiy for his dedication and unwavering commitment to teaching not only the physical aspects of Taekwondo but also emphasizing the importance of discipline, resilience, and integrity in his students. His ability to connect with each child on a personal level makes every lesson engaging and enjoyable. The lessons learned at Taekwondo Elite extend far beyond the martial art itself, providing our kids with essential life skills that they carry with them in their daily lives. Through Master Arkadiy's guidance, they have developed the grit and determination to face challenges head-on while maintaining the grace and composure of true martial artists. We wholeheartedly recommend this program to any parent looking to provide their children with an empowering, enriching experience that will positively impact their lives for years to come.
I already posted a review a long time ago, however, I want to post another. I paused Taekwondo for a VERY long time, thinking I wouldn't want to go back to it. I had been so close to my 2nd Dan, but I just didn't feel as though Taekwondo was something I wanted to do. It wasn't until my dad asked if we needed to get rid of my sparring gear since I hadn't been going back, that I realized it hurt so much to get rid of something like that. After this feeling, I asked to go see my younger sister's class. I was greeted by my never forgotten friends that I made while at Taekwondo, and it made me so happy. Master Arkadiy greeted me with open arms (literally :D), and talked to me about coming back to Taekwondo. I had realized that I was thinking about going back to Taekwondo, but after talking to Master Arkadiy, watching the class, and seeing my friends again, I believed I wanted to go back. So if you think you don't want to continue something you love, like me with Taekwondo, think about how your life would be like if it didn't have that feeling you love.
After a bad experience somewhere else, my son started here in 2017 when he was 4. He began in the peewee class with Instructor Chris and she was absolutely amazing! He continued for the next two years earning he red belt with a black stripe. We took a break because of covid and recently started attending again. When I inquired about coming back, they actually remembered who my son was and called me personally to answer any questions. Some of the instructors are different now, however the quality of service is the same! Communication about events, pricing and testing is always clear and timely. The staff are friendly , professional, fun and passionate about what they do. I would definitely recommend Taekwondo Elite to anyone looking for a fun, structured and useful activity for their children.
Amazing school! Master Arkady is a great Master, he teaches his students respect, discipline, responsibility. My kids love coming to class every time and look forward to training with their friends . I highly recommend Taekwondo Elite.
Very professional, I like it because my son learned a lot and mainly respect, discipline and techniques. Thank you very much to all the staff and to Master Arkadiy especially for opening the doors of his institution to us.The best Taekwondo school I could choose for my son, Brandon, master Arcaydie, opened the doors to his institution. Now his master, Vanessa, is very professional, responsible and knows what she is doing. My son continues to learn a lot. Mainly, he feels that taekwondo is an important part in his life that helped him to be a more responsible child, discipline and better every day. Thank you very much to all the teachers for being an important part in my son's life.
Taekwondo Elite is truly exceptional! My son has been attending the Pee Wee classes for two years, and we’ve seen remarkable improvement thanks to the instructors’ dedication, patience, and expertise. Master Arkadiy is highly skilled and inspiring, and Ms. Chris is absolutely wonderful. We couldn’t be happier!
Elite Taekwondo has been a part of my daughter's life for nine years, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The school has helped her build discipline, confidence, and self-motivation. The master is a remarkable guide, fostering a supportive environment where students can find their voices without pressure. My daughter’s transformation over the years has been profound—she now expresses herself with confidence and embraces new challenges with enthusiasm. Elite Taekwondo has been amazing for her development. Highly recommended!
My son recently started attending martial arts classes at Elite and I am extremely happy with my experience so far. Mr. Akardi is not only a master of his craft but also an exceptional teacher who creates a positive and encouraging atmosphere. My son is always looking forward to attending the class with enthusiasm. The classes are well-structured, with a perfect balance of technique training, conditioning, and sparring. The camaraderie among fellow students creates a sense of community and mutual support, making every session enjoyable, challenging, and immensely rewarding. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn martial arts in a supportive and empowering environment.
After visiting and trying many of the different Taekwondo studios in the Jersey area near Princeton, I finally decided on TKD Elite. Though only there for one month, Master made me feel a part of the family and I know I will always be welcome back should I choose to return and I feel that is how a martial arts school should be. Learned a lot and would definitely suggest anyone who has kids wanting to pick up material arts to come here as well as those older wanting to start learning!
Taekwondo ELITE is the best club!!! My son has become more disciplined, responsible, confident .Thanks to all the coaches, especially Mr. Arkady.
