Recommend a Martial Arts school in Northern NJ?

I’m looking to get back into Martial Arts, but I need a good school. I’m already a Taekwondo blackbelt. I’m trying to avoid TKD, because I cannot stomach sport/olympic TKD. Perferably in or surrounding Jersey City (NYC is out of the question). Muay Thai, Capoeira, BJJ, etc…
Yeah I know about him, he’s on Bergen Ave in my city. I’ve already trained in Escrima and that style is not aerobic enough for me.

Anyone else? I’m looking for a style that will improve my physical condition at the same time.

May I practice bodybuilding and taekwondo?

Are developed muscles an obstacle to flying kicks and other tkd techniques?

black belts? Taekwondo,karate etc.?

well I’ve noticed that my Tkd teacher’s black belt has hes name in English and then in Korean hes a 3rd dan and its got this other stuff on it that i haven’t got to look at and it says fully registered black belt on this belt chart at my dojang and other martial arts use the dans as well i want to know what do they register to? and i plan to cross over to karate once im a black belt in TKD and lets say your a black belt in TKD and you just started your first day of karate and your sensei says “do you have any previous experience in martial arts?” and you reply “yea im a blck belt in TKD” and i want to know is this going to cause negative reactions to other students and is this teacher gonna give me a different treatment as in can you help >blah< with hes kicks and i don't want that to happen so what can i do?

Taekwondo in real life?

why dose every one think all TKD fighter are going to used some fancy kick in real life were not dumb.i only had to fight to save my life onces and all i did side kick in the gut and when he was down i ran i’m not going to stick around and beat the crap out of him.
simple move are going to save your life.
ex. a good front kick in the gut or balls and then punch to the face most likely take the guy out
and EVERY self defence class will tell you that

which martial art should i take?

Okay so I want a martial art that can make me strong, make me over all flexible, and make me jump higher. I was thinking tkd since it incorporates a lot of kicking? Some martial arts that have a place of learning close to me are karate, tae kwon do, jeet kune do, kung fu, silat, wing chun, tai chi, and muy thai. Its a lot to choose from so i need help. Thank you!
