My name is Elissa Grebler. I am a mom of a 4yr. old boy. I work at My Gym Children's Fitness Center and they HIGHLY recommend Bryan Klein and United TaeKwonDo Academy because of his amazing teaching style. Since May of 2009 (when my son started class) he has become very coordinated, self assured amongst many other things to give him the skills he will need to be out in the real world.
I would stand behind Mr. Brian Klein and his staff 100 %. I mean let's face it.........I am entrusting him with the most precious thing I have....
MY CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our son started with United TaeKwonDo Academy at 5 years old. The staff were super supportive and the classes were fun and challenging at the same time. Will, my son, really learned a lot about karate, discipline and self-confidence. It was great to see how excited and proud he was of himself after earning each stripe and new colored belt.
Best wishes,

We think United TaeKwonDo Academy is a fantastic school. Mr. Klein provides a learning environment that combines all the TaeKwonDo moves and techniques with an understanding that along with those things you learn self respect, self control and strength of character. He sincerely cares about the kids and makes sure they are having fun and also being challenged. Both of my children – ages 11 and 8 are enrolled in the school and love it.
My 11 year old moved schools before his black belt testing and Mr. Klein and his staff made sure that he was not only prepared for the testing but also fit into the school. My younger daughter was afraid to start at our old school but after we moved to Mr. Klein's school and she saw the inviting nature of the school she agreed to try classes. Now she loves to learn the basic karate techniques and have some fun also.
One think that I think that is unique and special at United TaeKwonDo is the emphasis on charity work. I was so proud of my son after Mr. Klein challenged the students to give back last year. He organized a fund raiser all by himself and combined basketball and donation work, he collected over $600 for Enable, a charity for assists persons who have permanent or chronic disabilities. The kids look forward to the charity work that the school does throughout the year and we like the positive effect it has on the kids and needy charities.
Mr. Klein's school has a wonderful family atmosphere. We love the fact that it is a learning and friendly environment with a strong traditional philosophy, which stresses learning not only the basics, hard work and proving your ability but also giving back to the community.

Chelsea has been a student at Bryan Klein’s United TaeKwonDo Academyfor more than six years. We feel that the school has had such a positive impact on her and that it qualifies as one of the most meaningful experiences in her life. It has not only helped her stay in good physical shape and built up her self-confidence by participating in a sport, but it has also taught her how to defend herself and made her a better communicator. It has opened the door to many new friends, allowing Chelsea to form friendships that we're sure will last a lifetime. We are proud of her performance in the tournaments and our entire family has enjoyed attending them. Obtaining her black belt has taught her that hard work and focus can help her achieve any goal. The value that she has derived from attending Bryan Klein’s program is immeasurable.

Dear Bryan:
My wife and I would like to take a moment to thank you and your staff at the UnitedTaeKwonDoAcademy in Manalapan for the positive reinforcement and discipline our children experience at each class they attend. Our 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son really enjoy the mental and physical challenge of TaeKwonDo, the friendships they are making with other students, and the fact that every instructor they have trained with over the past year has been kid friendly. Of all the sports and activities the children have been involved with, your TaeKwonDo classes have been the only enrollment that we do not find ourselves having a tug of war to make the kids attend. They love it! Thanks again.

My son, A.J., joined Bryan Klein's UTA school when he was 7 years old. Just 4 years later, at the age of 11, he tested for and received his Black Belt in Taekwondo. What a proud moment this was for us! With the help of the wonderful instructors at the school, we have watched A.J. grow from a quiet, somewhat timid little boy, into a confident and strong young man. He has learned to focus, work hard and perservere to achieve an amazing goal. As a probationary Black Belt student, A.J. now looks forward to continuing his journey at the school to achieve even higher degree Black Belts and to become a true leader in his community!

Bryan Klein’s United Taekwondo Academy is a fine school for students to journey through building their self-confidence, discipline, defense abilities, and overall health, both physically and mentally. I have had my son attending since he was in a kinderkick class up until today three and a half years later yellow belt. I have seen him grow and build his strength and aspire to want to achieve higher rankings.
Bryan Klein and his staff are supportive and motivational for the kids at their academy and show care for each student they have in their class.
I plan on enrolling my one year old when he gets older to go on this same journey to getting toward a black belt as my older son.
Great school, caring and dedicated staff!
Sincerely,
Rachel Checorski

My name is Caroline Smith and I have been taking TaeKwonDo at Bryan Klein's United TaeKwonDo Academies in Manalapan for about 6 years. I have earned my senior advanced black belt, and I am a junior instructor. For me, TaeKwonDo has made such an impact on my life. Going in there all those years ago I was the shy, kind of quiet girl. I wasn't sure of myself, and my self-confidence just wasn't there. Now six years later, that has changed entirely. I find myself in front of a class warming them up, or helping out the head instructor. even talking to parents and answering any questions they might have. My self-confidence has gone through the roof, I'm not afraid to talk to people, or get in front of the class. Even in school it has made a difference, I go up to people and talk to them all the time. I've found that I put myself out there so much more and am rewarded greatly. I am in the JROTC program at my school, and went through a big application process and an interview. Had it not been for TaeKwonDo, and the amazing instructors that are here teaching, I most likely would not have been ready for that interview, or even to apply to a school where I really didn't know anyone. Aside from confidence TaeKwonDo has also been a great way for me to stay in great physical shape, as well as learn some skills to stay healthy. Overall in taking TaeKwonDo here, I have completely changed as a person, and hope to continue on this path, and continue with this for the rest of my life.

My 8 year old son,Zachary, has been a student of Klein's United Tae Kwon Do Academy for almost 2 years. We originally enrolled him because he wanted an activity to replace a gym class he had grown out of. We got so much more than we bargained for. He has greatly improved his coordination, which has translated to increased success and confidence in other sports. He has learned respect and discipline, and how to strive to meet a goal. All of this in a nurturing and fun environment he loves to attend. We couldn't be happier.

My name is Alma Martinez mother of 4 and a very busy Realtor. I've been on and off with UTA for over 12 years. I am a Senior Red Belt and my goal is to get my black belt with my son. I've searched every Martial Arts school in the Monmouth and
Middlesex Countiesand in my opinion UTA is number one! The program they offer for our children is excellent. I do not mind driving 20 minutes away because I know my son and I will receive the best instruction available in a clean and supportive environment.

Bryan Klein's TaeKwonDo, while being a fantastic martial arts school is so much more than just a place to learn an art. I found the focus of this school is truly the well being of the child. Promoting self confidence and teaching the most important of human values, such as respect and caring for self and others has been just as much a part of my son's training as the martial art itself. I did have experience with other schools and I found Bryan Klein's school to be a perfect fit for our family.
