What Our Parents Are Saying!
Some of our most touching Google Reviews —
“I’ve only stepped foot in a Karate Studio twice in my life!
And they were both this week to watch my son try the Little Dragon class (4-7yr olds) and I have to say I was so impressed! Charles was knowledgeable, great with kids & has lots of fun games up his sleeve to keep the kids moving.
I actually teared up because he was so CLEAR with every instruction - and I watched my son (who’s tried like 5 sports) at 5 yrs old focus more and respect the coach more than he ever has.
That’s a dream for a mother, especially one that was a lifelong athlete like I was.
He begged to go back after he got his white belt, and of course it’s a YES!
Trials are free, highly recommend, parking across the street, very flexible class options on Wickapecko in Ocean Township.”
— Andrea Montalvo (We appreciate & Thank you Andrea for this amazing review!!)
“I cannot recommend Full Circle Dojang enough!
Our now 7 y.o. son began here 2 years ago within the “Little Dragon” program and loves all aspects of it: the goal setting, learning, training and testing.
Coach Capella is both an outstanding martial artist and teacher and he fosters an environment that balances instruction, discipline and fun.
The sense of achievement these kids get at a belt ceremony is truly inspiring!”
— Frank Spina (Thank you Frank for this wonderful review, We appreciate you!!)
