My name is John Godwin, head instructor of our martial arts school. For thirty plus years, we've dedicated our lives to bringing the physical - and mental - benefits of martial arts to our community. All of our schools offer quality instruction for all ages and abilities looking to benefit from Martial Arts instruction. The Korean Martial Arts Institute offers various classes and programs for all ages. Applicants can sign up for one of our Kids Martial Arts program, Adult Martial Arts program, Kickboxing program, Karate Birthday Parties, or Self Defense seminars. Our classes are limited in size, so don't wait too long! Because I'd hate to see you miss out on the opportunity to change your life.
Mr. Matthew Brown: Chief Instructor
Mr. Brown began his martial arts training at Korean Martial Arts Institute’s Newark location in May of 1997 was he was only 8 years old. Currently Mr. Brown holds a 2nd degree black belt in Hapkido and 3rd degree black belt in Tang Soo Do. Mr. Brown truly enjoys helping students develop their own passion for the martial arts as he did long ago. One of Mr. Brown’s favorite things about teaching martial arts is working with the youth students. He enjoys their energy, enthusiasm, and watching them grow up in the martial arts school as he did.
Mr. Brown also has a passion for fitness and is always willing to try a new exercise. If you want to get in better shape yourself you should try out one of our iLoveKickboxing.com classes. He graduated from the University of Delaware with a Degree in Exercise Science and spent almost a year working at a YMCA as their Youth Fitness Director until he realized that there is no place like Korean Martial Arts Institute. Mr. Brown has always considered Korean Martial Arts Institute his home and is always willing to do everything he can for his students.
