My child has been here for over a year now, and I truly cannot say enough good things about this place. The owner and his wife are incredibly kind, caring, and genuine people. They intentionally keep the number of students small, so every child receives plenty of individual attention. During sparring or practice sessions, the environment is always respectful and gentle--there are no overly aggressive students, which gives me great peace of mind. I also really appreciate that both boys and girls train together here. Unlike many other places where higher levels are dominated by boys, this environment feels balanced, inclusive, and encouraging for all children. The assistant instructors--both older brothers and sisters--are wonderful. They genuinely care about each child, know them by name, and treat them with patience and warmth. You can truly feel that the kids are loved and supported. This is a very safe and well-managed environment. Parents can feel comfortable stepping away to take care of other things, knowing their children are being watched carefully. If a parent is not present, children are not allowed to leave on their own. Sometimes, the owner's wife will even personally walk a child to the car, which speaks volumes about their sense of responsibility and care. They are honest, loving, and deeply committed to the children. I've seen older students who have grown up come back just to visit them, and that alone says everything--how much the kids truly love and respect their coaches. This is more than just a place to train. It feels like a community, and we are very grateful to be part of it. read more

My son has been going to All Star Taekwondo since he was about 3.5 years old, and it has been such a wonderful experience from day one. Everyone here is incredibly nice, welcoming, and patient, which made a huge difference--especially in the beginning when he struggled with focus and confidence. The instructors take their time with each child and really know how to balance discipline with encouragement. Over time, my son has not only improved but now absolutely loves going. He's learned so much here--not just kicks and forms, but also respect, listening, and confidence. We're really grateful for this studio and the positive environment they've created. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a supportive taekwondo program! read more

My 9 year old has been going here for over 4 years. Master Hong and his wife are amazing owners who really care about the well being of their students. The younger teachers are great with kids. My child made great friends throughout the years here. It's a good atmosphere for discipline and community. read more

My daughter has been with All Star Taekwondo since she was little, and today she is a proud black belt. Watching her grow through this program--both in skill and in character--has been one of the most rewarding experiences as a parent. I couldn't be more proud of her, and we're incredibly thankful for everything this school has done to support her journey. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about each student's progress. They don't just teach taekwondo--they teach discipline, confidence, and respect. The environment is positive, structured, and motivating. If you're looking for a place where your child can grow both mentally and physically, I highly recommend All Star Taekwondo. It's been a big part of our lives, and we're grateful for the community they've built. read more

This taekwondo has been opened for 18 years and I can understand why. Master and Mrs. Hong are both very caring and you can tell as soon as you join that they care for you like their own. They prioritize the children's safety and always make sure no one gets hurt. Joining All Star felt like joining a new family. It's the best taekwondo in diamond bar and not only do they teach physical skills but they also teach how to be respectful and lead you to having a successful life. I've learned self defense, discipline, respect, and gained confidence here at All Star. I highly recommend going to this taekwondo if you are looking to sign you or your child up! read more

It's been a pleasant time with All Star Taekwondo. They are so nice and honest. They treat my child like thier own family. I have been in this place for over a year, and I know why this place lasts so long. read more

My kids have been attending All Star TaeKwonDo for over 2 years now. I am extremely impressed with their program. They offer numerous classes throughout the week which is great for families with busy schedules that require flexibility. Classes have a very good student to instructor/assistant ratio and all classes are infused with a lot of fun exercises and games that keep the students fully engaged. The instructors are all highly skilled and knowledgeable, and they truly care about their students. They create a fun and safe environment for learning. Not only do the instructors teach the physical techniques of taekwondo, but they also emphasize the importance of discipline, respect, and perseverance. My kids have shown significant improvement in their focus, confidence, and overall physical fitness since starting this program. I highly recommend All Star TaeKwonDo to any parents looking to enroll their kids in an excellent martial arts program that promotes both physical and mental growth. read more

I have been to a couple of TKD places for my son, but this place is by far the most efficient place in terms of money and time. My son really enjoys going here for teachers / masters. They are highly motivated and friendly even for younger age groups. You know how passionate and interactive they are when you step into other TKD places to compare. Again, great job to all teachers. Highly recommended! Every drive and hour spent here is well worth read more

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. My daughter has been attending All Star Tae Kwon Do for almost three years now and I could not be happier. Unlike many martial arts schools, All Star Tae Kwon Do emphasizes the development of the whole child. Specifically, Master Hong's school is designed to support the academic, emotional, and physical growth of students as well as fostering a sense of community and comradery amongst parents. The school often hosts events like family movie night, holiday parties, bring a friend day, and potluck belting ceremonies. They even host a summer camp every year which not only does field trips but ALSO includes a designated study time and teaches CPR, swimming, and emergency medical intervention! Furthermore, the students are offered more than one way to demonstrate their understanding of the underlying principles of Tae Kwon Do through writing, oral communication, and demonstration of specific techniques. The children are sent home with papers that ask them to define what respect, integrity, resilience (indomitable spirit), perseverance, independence, and self-control mean to them and these principles are discussed during practice. With each paper turned in and during regular class sessions, the children have opportunities to earn cards and star points which can be turned in for prizes. Thus using a positive behavior intervention strategy in order to promote desirable behavior. During every belting opportunity, the school sends home a parenting assessment which asks about the child's implementation of the core principles of Tae Kwon Do outside of the school, thus ensuring that the child is not only practicing these principles at the school but also within the community and at home. I especially appreciate the diversity of students at the school because it gives my daughter the opportunity to meet and learn from peers throughout our community while fostering friendships outside of school. As a parent, I have found that the Master's at All Star Tae Kwon Do and Mrs. Hong have been very supportive of my daughter's developmental needs. Finally, All Star Tae Kwon Do really gives you a great price. The total cost for a year of tuition is affordable and my child is permitted to attend five days a week for 45-minute lessons. My daughter is always excited to attend Tae Kwon Do. Her favorite master to work with is Master Ryan because he always has great energy with the kids and a wonderful sense of humor. I would recommend this school to any parent who wants their child to benefit from the amazing environment at All Star Tae Kwon Do. read more

Master Hong and his wife Jenny are amazing people and care for their students and their families as an extension of their own. My son started taking classes in the beginning of 4th grade. He was struggling with schoolwork and responsibility. Master Hong and his amazing team of instructors made such a significant difference in my son's attitude and behavior. He received his black belt the summer after 6th grade in 2015. A year and a half later he lost his father to cancer and it was the support and teachings of Master Hong and everyone at All Star that helped him get through this very difficult time. Now six years later we are extremely excited to be returning to the All Star family as my son begins the journey to his 2nd degree black belt as a 19 year old young man! read more

Best taekwondo in Diamond Bar. I've been to other taekwondos in this area and decided to choose this one.

All Star Tae Kwon Do & Master Hong have made such a huge difference in our son attitude and his ability to focus not only in class but in school.

We highly recommend this studio. read more

Stopped back in to visit for a minute today. My boys were here for several years when they were in grade and middle school, they have since both graduated high school as varsity athletes. Still being run by Mrs Hong, with Master Hong teaching the classes. This is a great family environment and along with teaching martial arts stress respect for peers and family. Master Hong is great with everyone, but particularly good for younger children. Highly recommended, particularly as a way to start kids down an athletic path. read more

Highly recommend All Star Tae Kwon Do! The Master Hong/Ryan and the rest of the staff not only teach self defense but also life lessons, being respectful, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, focus, and so much more! read more

I got my black belt here about a decade ago. This school really builds character in kids like I had when growing up with Taekwondo. It taught me self-discipline for the things I decide to do. Choices like finishing my homework before playing games became easier to make. Confidence in myself made it easier to pursue bigger goals and make new friends. As a teenager, I developed my time-management skills well and this helped me a lot in college, working part-time, studying Electrical Engineering and staying involved on campus organizations at Cal Poly Pomona. I attribute a lot of my future success to All Star Taekwondo because this school has taught me a lot. Most importantly they have taught me to understand my parents, and that has made all the difference in all my life's choices. read more

My son has been going here for over a year now and the only thing i can say is it's a very good school and the master also is an amazing teacher. read more

I highly recommend Master Hong who I studied under for five years in Diamond Bar! Very few schools teach traditional Taekwondo and this one does. the master is great working with kids too. read more

Perfect school for my son. I took TKD when I was growing up and was looking for a school to teach him the same values I learned. If you understand anything about real Martial Arts, then you'll know what I mean when I say the most important lessons learned here are not seen in all the punching and kicking. This is a great place to take your kids and build their confidence. read more

If I need to sum up my experience in one word, that word would be "disappointing." This is a lengthy review because I think it's a huge investment in terms of time and money (~$1000 a year), so I want others to learn from my experience. A little background: I used to do competitive TKD in college and was also one of the instructors for our team, so I know what it takes in terms of technique and teaching. I expect my son to be good at TKD and I hope that one day he can compete at a high level. So my expectation is likely higher than the average people, so take my comment with a grain of salt if you're not that serious about TKD and just want a babysitting service with a splash of TKD. First, the good stuff... the location is very convenient for anyone living in Diamond Bar. Master Hong is very friendly and nice, and I think he himself is very good at TKD. Mrs. Hong is great, always very nice and helpful. The school set-up is very typical, padded mat throughout the school with wide open space. I was impressed by the fact that Master Hong teaches TKD himself. He was the main instructor almost all the time, which is a huge contrast to other schools where the master sits in his office and let the assistants teach. From knowing these things, we signed up for 1 year. My son attended for a year and I did not see a year's worth of improvement. When my son first started, I thought he had a lot of potential (I used to teach, so hopefully I would know). But after a year of training, I saw very little of that potential left. His kicks are not based on good technique. After class, he always want to show some fancy kicks he learned but not with good form. I'm always thinking, "why are you being taught these fancy kicks if the basic kicks are not perfect?" By this stage (blue belt), I would expect excellent form and technique with all basic kicks but unfortunately I don't see it. I end up teaching him the proper techniques, sometimes even as simple as a stance, and can see huge improvement. Why am I paying money if I have to teaching him myself? I figured out the best way to evaluate TKD school is to check out their belt tests. You can see how good the students are, their kicks, their discipline (if they're sitting upright and paying attention), and their forms. At this school, it seems like all the kids just go through the motion. It's almost as if they're just there to get a belt, not really doing TKD nor do they care. This reflects poorly on the master, allowing anybody to take tests. Some students perform so poorly at the test that I wonder why the parents / master let them embarrass themselves in front of others. Now, equally important to techniques in TKD, I expected my son to learn discipline and respect for others. That is also a major issue I had with this school. I don't think Master Hong really disciplines the kids. Sure, he gets pissed if things really get out of hand but I often see the children horseplay while in class, standing or sitting by the wall... half the kids don't follow directions. Master Hong wants the kids to have fun and release their stress (he said so during one of the tests), but I seriously think the kids are having way too much fun. TKD, respect, discipline should be priority, but this school places fun over all those and I think that's unfair to the parents and the students who take it seriously. If I want my kid to have fun, we can go to a park for free. If I want my kid to have a blackbelt without actually having the skills to back it up, I'd buy one from eBay. This is from my experience and things may have changed at this school. I really do hope that they have changed because I see Master Hong with a lot of potential. Check out their belt test and see how the kids do. read more

I have 3 elementary school children and we had a wonderful experience at this dojang. It's always clean and kids have so much fun while learning some manners and discipline. (Ahem...^^;). I love how their approach of learning the mind as a martial artist. One of my children ended up entering the competition and it was nerve-wracking since it was our first time. But not only are they nice, the masters and Jenny were experienced and knew how to help us through. It ended up being one of my child's proud memories which she wrote about in Star of the Week and narrative writing. Dojang also has a program for preparing students for school talent show which few students performed and they were amazing! read more

Friendly staff and students. Everyone and every age is welcome. From 4 year old beginners to 40+ year old die hards. This is an excellent environment to learn proper snappy poomse, basic self-defense, sparring and get healthy all at the same time. read more

We love this place. Master Hong, by far, is the best teacher we have met. We have tried all the Taekwondo studios in the area and they don't even come close to the quality of care and service they offer at All Star. Master Hong genuinely cares for each individual student. His discipline is firm, consistent, and kind. His level of respect for each child is very admirable. It's like family here. I want my boys to grow up here under the tutelage of the teachers here. read more
