Part of ATA Martial Arts
Style / system: ATA / Songahm — based on the school's own site and student reviews. Taekwondo systems (Olympic/World Taekwondo, ITF, and ATA/Songahm) differ in forms, sparring rules, and tournaments; if lineage matters to you, confirm it with the school. ATA vs WT vs ITF, explained →
Affiliated school — reviews and the school's own info point to a recognized taekwondo organization or franchise (think ATA Martial Arts, Kukkiwon certification, World Taekwondo, or ITF). If credentials matter to you, ask which association the school belongs to and where the head instructor earned their black-belt (dan) rank and certification.

From the reviews
We've been part of Changing Lives, then Raritan Valley ATA for years. Our first priority was to find a place that had experience with special needs kids. Our son is on the high functioning Autism spectrum, and we were looking for ways to ensure his coordination as well as hopefully develop skill and discipline that…
My son has been a student here for 7+ years starting in preschool as a child looking to burn energy and is now a pre teen competitive black belt. The program is so good the rest of the family joined him a few years ago and also worked to achieve or black belts. Family atmosphere but serious training.
This is an excellent school with the best instructors. Mr. Peterson and staff really foster a family friendly environment where students not only learn martial arts, but also respect, discipline, and integrity. Both of my sons really look forward to class everyday, and that says it all!
I have been doing Taekwondo for about 15 years, which has become more than just a sport. I have taken a few breaks but regardless of the setbacks I have always find myself going back to Taekwondo. There is always something to learn regardless the belt. It’s more than just a school.
Your first taekwondo class at Raritan Valley ATA
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
