    Our friends recommended Black Tiger TKD to us. We are glad that we sent our daughter to learn TKD here. Master Kenny, Master Cho and all other masters and tutors are nice and firm. We are very impressed how much progress our daughter has made over a few months.

    They're amazing in discipline, training, commitment to excellence and fosters family, love and sportsmanship. The master teachers are the school owners as well as the grand master. .

    We've been on hold for more than 3 weeks now and no follow up. It'll be nice if someone from their studio would at least call or email us.

    Now that my son has advanced to the Black Belt Club, I wanted to share some feedback regarding the…read moreinstruction quality. I believe the classes would be more productive if Master celina were more directly involved in teaching, especially since she selects the teachers. Unfortunately, the current teachers and assistants, particularly those teaching the Wednesday 5:30 PM class, do not seem adequately prepared to work with children. The lack of correction and engagement has been noticeable, and many of the children quickly lose focus. It feels as though the instruction style is more suited to adults than young students, which is frustrating given the level of commitment and cost involved. I'm sharing this in the spirit of support and improvement, as we truly value the program and want to see the children thrive.

    Understandably so, everyone's experience with a business varies. However, in our opinion, MAA San…read moreRamon deserve at a minimum this 5 star rating based on OUR experience. Master Celina Hespen and the other instructors appear to be skilled and of course, patient... not just with our child, but as we observed, with the other students as well. We transitioned our then 6yo son to MAA San Ramon in mid-May because the original studio he was taking basic martial arts lesson from was in Castro Valley (CV) and we live in San Ramon. - We initially enrolled our son in the CV martial arts because it was his classmate's Dad's studio. Unfortunately, due to the CV studio's location, our son was only able to attend on a Saturday and when we have weekend plans or he's sick, he was unable to make up the missed class on a weekday due to the classes' availability. After exiting the CV martial arts studio, we began our search for a new martial arts studio closer to home. We saw a Facebook ad for MAA San Ramon and after browsing their website, we selected a $25 special (3 classes plus a uniform included in the package). We selected this offer because we weren't sure how our son would take to the instructors and the regimen. Lo and behold, our son loved it! Although he was 6yo at the time, Master Celina felt he was ready and would do well in the Basic Class for 7+ year olds, and you know what? She was absolutely right! Our son not only thrived with Master Celina, but he truly flourished. He was able to participate in more than one class a week, and he followed instructions, routines, etc. well. Master Celina and the other instructors also made sure to correct in a firm but appropriate manner all of the students when they weren't paying attention, not following instructions, not being respectful, etc. We simply can't say enough great things about MAA San Ramon, Master Celina, Master Nathan, Master Zaak, Master Alexander, Master Sammy (pardon the spelling if it's incorrect), and all of the remaining staff who are in some type of leadership program (we think it's called the Certified Instructor Training ("CIT") Program). Also, we recently had our son's 7th birthday party here with approximately 34 participants, and all of the 1st grade kids loved the activities (a few of the kids were in higher grades who don't go to our son's school, but they also loved it). The parents were also impressed with MAA San Ramon and we are more than happy and proud to have been a small part of it. The kids had a blast and even spoke about the party at school the following day. Surprisingly enough, even a few 2nd graders and Kindergartners from school heard great things about the activities from the party (we're honestly not sure how that happened). MAA San Ramon kept the energy up, the activities were fluid, and pizza/cake time after was a blast :) Needless to say, we're extremely happy with them and it sounds like Master Celina is a new owner of MAA San Ramon (and MAA Pleasanton). We're adding this tidbit since it looks like the other Yelp reviews are old and has outdated information.

From a young age we tried all sort of sports and activities out there- from swimming, to gymnastics, to ice skating, to soccer and even ballroom dancing and NONE of them peaked his interest as much as Taekwondo. Coach Roman was able to ignite the fire that was in him and reveal a true passion for something other than screen time ;-). In all seriousness, I never thought that our son would willingly train for hours 5 times a week and compete on a national level not because we "make him" but because he truly wants to. Thanks to Tornado our son also made lifelong friends and all of the parents at the school make it feel like we are all a big family. We train together, travel together, cheer on our kids together and celebrate all wins as each child is our own. I can't recommend Tornado enough, it's really a life changing place!

He has authoritarian vision on training and not tolerating other coaches. He is focused on competitive fighting. Injuries are considered natural part of it. Twisted ankles, injured knees, groin kicks, etc are common in the trainings. This place used to be more fun diversified with 2nd and 3rd coaches, but not anymore. Kids can quickly get bored. Now it is geared more for goal-oriented fighters. Overall if you willing to spend good chunk of your life and money on professional kicking and punching, this is the right place for you. Otherwise there are plenty other martial arts places around providing fun environment for kids and adults.

I personally gravitated towards Amber Leibrock (tall & tatted girl). Amber Leibrock is also the kids class coach so I also enrolled my 11 year old nephew so we can build him up too. I always leave the gym feeling stronger and with an increase in confidence. They really try and ensure you have the enough experience before letting you go to more advanced classes and the result? well I have been to watch many of the professional fighters and they usually always win so that is really motivational for the newer people.
