What Makes Innovate Martial Arts Different?
We are part of the prestigious American Taekwondo Association (ATA), the largest martial arts organization in the country. ATA has been renowned for its unwavering commitment to excellence, with 130,000 active members and over 1 million students trained since 1969. Our instructors undergo an intensive, rigorous certification process built on 40 years of tradition, cutting-edge research, and development.
At Innovate Martial Arts, we practice Songahm Taekwondo, a style encompassing the ATA’s principles and methodologies. The journey from White Belt to Black Belt (10 belts total) is one of incremental learning and skill development, suitable for students of any age and fitness level.
Hi, my name is Sr. Master Evan Turner
I am a 7th-degree black belt and the owner of Innovate Martial Arts. I understand the challenges and uncertainties of choosing a martial arts school. As a child, I had doubts about my abilities and lacked confidence. Little did I know that embarking on my martial arts journey would become one of the most profound experiences of my life!
Our school was established in 2012 under Sr. Master MacInerny. In January 2017, I moved from Texas to become the school's new owner, giving rise to Innovate Martial Arts. Since then, I have been committed to serving and empowering the communities of Bordentown, Jackson, and Monroe in New Jersey by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership, and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.
Throughout my journey, I have won 10 ATA World Championship titles, 5x STF Pan American titles, and countless state titles in FL, GA, TX, and NJ. I also had the privilege of representing the ATA and USA abroad in competition by being a member of the inaugural USA sparring team. Now living in New Jersey, my goal is to make Innovate Martial Arts one of the top schools in the country!

Innovate creates an environment that is warm and inviting to all. We are family, friends, a community! I can't say enough about Innovate! My kids and I look forward to going to class. Students are trained and groomed to be the best version of themselves. My two introverted sons are now both State Champions. They are dedicated and driven to succeed not only in martial arts but in all aspects of their lives. They are doing great in school and are more purposeful in life, thanks to the life skills learned at Innovate, particularly in the leadership class. The staff is exceptional! Come join our team! You won't regret it!"
