I have trained at Nam's Academy for over a year in the morning Boxing class and I can attest to the…read morefact that this is a great gym. Nam's academy isn't a shiny franchise gym, but it is clean and holds an abundance of character. The classes are generally small so you get plenty of attention and assistance from the instructors. Nam is the owner of the academy and he is very respectful and attentive to his students. His years of competing professionally in MMA are considerable and his expertise is reflected in his style of coaching. He is dynamic, adept, and effective. He pushes you to leave everything you have left on the mat every single class. As a novice I was able to learn and progress confidently with each class. Overall, it's worth dropping in for the free first class. You really have nothing to lose but to quench your curiosity about this academy.

BTW, kids' classes are fun and great ways to keep them youngsters off the phones. My boys had a blast.

It feels like the whole vibe changed into something more inviting and a lot more positive compared to what it was before. The facility also looks a lot better and brighter now due to several improvements, there is a pro shop now, the benches for parents are better, the whole place got an upgrade. The head coach is an amazing instructor and an active competitor who always wins his division, it is very rare to find an actively competing coach who can teach well and give good details. The students at GBWA are very lucky to have coach Heverson because he teaches techniques that have been proven to work in competition. If you are in the West Anaheim area visit this place. It will be worthwhile training at this location.

My daughter used to attend competitions and when we had Coach Heverson he was always there. However, this last coach just let them play around and not learn any new skills.

I would not recommend if you are parent who wants your child to actually learn jujitsu and actually compete this not the gym.

They balance each other perfectly, and even in a group setting it truly feels like your child is getting one-on-one attention.

ATI is an exceptional studio that defies easy description. Master Kwon is an incredible teacher…read morewith a fierce passion for Taekwondo, both in practice and instruction. He is extremely kind and highly respected. Not only does he teach children about kicking and punching, but he also instills in them the essence of being a true martial artist. At ATI, students are also introduced to Korean culture, the birthplace of Taekwondo, as Master Kwon incorporates it into the learning experience. The instructors here are truly qualified and excellent in both technical and teaching skills. They are certified by Kukkiwon, the headquarters of Taekwondo in Korea, and have achieved numerous accolades in local, regional, national, and international competitions, including prestigious ones like the US Open. They respect the students and teach them with complete dedication. A lot of students are also actively participating in many Taekwondo competitions throughout the year which makes the school such a vibrant and positive environment. Over the years, my little kid has trained here, and I can attest that ATI is a well-known and reliable Taekwondo school in our local community. The studio's inclusion of children with special needs, adults of all ages, and students from diverse backgrounds, including those transferring from other Taekwondo schools, states, and countries, makes it an exceptional place for training. I do not think there are any other Taekwondo schools in the area offer classes for all ages. The closest one is like 15miles away from Garden Grove. One of the most realiable and credible things about this studio as I know is many trainers at ATI have been with the school for many years, starting from their elementary school days and continuing through to graduating from college, whether as engineers or while earning doctoral degrees. A lot of them have established careers and been successful as well. I rarely write reviews on Yelp, but I feel compelled to respond to some of the negative comments. In martial arts, children must learn discipline and respect for others, from family members to strangers. This is a fundamental pillar of ATI's teaching. During belt promotion tests, which occur every 2-3 months, all students are encouraged, though not required, to spend a few extra minutes observing their peers as a way of learning and showing respect. I believe this is an excellent method of educating children on mutual respect. I don't understand the complaints about tuition. My child has trained here for years, and ATI's tuition is among the most reasonable in the area for such high-quality training. I find the negative reviews strange and unfounded. Moreover, ATI is the only Taekwondo school in the area that offers free trials for students. Master Kwon has been teaching and running this school with passion for over twenty years, so I believe the negative reviews are unjustified. Thank you again, Master Kwon, and all the incredible instructors and trainers at ATI.

I am not sure why there are all 5 star reviews which is very misleading. I drove by this place…read moremany times because I live nearby but I never wanted to try it. Finally I decided to have my kids try it out and that was a complete waste of my time and investment. After like two months, I started to notice that instructors weren't interested in teaching because the 45 minutes lesson comprised of 15 minutes warming up, 15 minutes of doing some training, but the kids had to take turn to do it while other kids had to wait and stood there doing nothing which was a complete waste of time, and then the last 10-15 minutes, all kids had to sit quietly or get scolded and reprimanded while having to watch some other kids doing testing which takes away time from learning itself. However, I figured that I should give this place a longer time to see progress. Wrong! I stuck it up for over a year and that was a dumb decision. I should have left after 2 months of seeing how things went. I don't recommend this place. Find somewhere else where they actually want to teach you so you can advance instead of trying to drag out time to make more $$$ off of you while wasting your time. My cousin who lives in another state had her kids got to black belt in 3 years. If your kids go here, they will get black belt by the time they become adults. What a joke.
