Our daughter has been with Do Martial Arts for 3 years, since she was 8 years old. The instructors are so encouraging, empowering, and uplifting to kids, and my daughter's confidence has grown so much from doing TKD! read more

My older daughter has been attending Do Martial Arts for about two years now and I am super pleased with her progression from white to red belt! The instructors here are super supportive and patient, and all the kids truly enjoy learning under them. The curriculum is very well structured with each week focusing on a different aspect of Tae Kwon Do (e.g. Poomsae or Sparring). The program is also very flexible with options for different days/times of the week for attending. Participants also learn basic Korean phrases and how to show respect at both the studio and at home. Importantly, students develop confidence that will take them far in life. Belt tests are both serious and fun, and there is a board breaking activity at the end. I highly recommend Do Martial Arts for anyone who wants to learn Tae Kwon Do, no matter the skill level. We have been very happy with the results and our younger one is now enrolled in the program too! read more

As a Korean, I can tell they take Taekwondo seriously, but they also make it so much fun that the kids actually enjoy learning it. It's the perfect mix of a serious class and a good time!

He's also learned good manners with his friends and coaches. Definitely recommend Do Martial arts! read more

This review is long overdue! My daughters have been taking lessons at DO for the past couple of years and I can see that their confidence, coordination and physical ability has improved a lot. All of the Masters at DO are great - they make the classes fun but also challenge the kids to learn and improve themselves. The Masters are very good with kids and older students alike. Plus, all the Masters are very accomplished in Taekwondo, so you're in very good hands. If you're looking for a martial arts studio (they have kids and adult lessons), give DO Martial Arts a try! read more

Our family loves Do Martial Arts! It's a very kind and welcoming environment where you feel like you have known them for years. The masters meet your child where they are in their martial arts journey and take time to focus on those who might need a little extra support. My child was hesitant and shy the first few times and now they cannot wait to go. The programs are flexible and the team is so easy to communicate with. Overall, a wonderful experience! read more

Amazing facility and instructors. The TKD Masters at this studio really take the time to get to know their students and build an amazing relationship with them. Both my boys have been here for a couple of years now and have progressed nicely. Martial arts helps with confidence, discipline and fitness. Not just for kids they have plenty of adult classes as well for all levels - beginner to advanced. read more

It's so much fun to host parties at Do Martial Arts! Master Baessi and Master Clever are super nice and helped us to set up and decorate. They taught the kids about the Korean culture and played some fun games. Each kid wrote their bad behaviors on a board and promised they would break these behaviors then they kicked/broke the board. The kids were so excited about that. The facility is clean and neat, they also setup tables outside the dojos for us to enjoy the food. We highly recommend this place! read more

My 11-year-old son has been taking classes at DO martial arts since last year and he loves it! As he is on the spectrum and has ADHD he needs some extra patience and masters CJ, Baessi, and Clever have been so good with him working with him to help him excel. He started out unsure about it but now loves to go to class. We're so happy he's found an activity he really enjoys and that also gets him moving and teaches discipline and respect. Highly recommend! read more

My 6yo son has been coming to DO Martial Arts for 3 years. I feel that his time there has really helped his ability to listen carefully to directions and with his confidence in group settings. Not only are all the instructors very experienced, but they are all also very kind and passionate about teaching. They excel at teaching students of varying ages and skill levels. It's a great community to be a part of! read more

My daughter has been learning Taekwondo at this dojo for the past year and she loves coming here Her confidence has improved, she has become physically strong and more energetic. The masters here are very friendly and well rounded. I would highly recommend this Dojo. read more

They reached out to me and explained everything. This oversight shouldn't happen again. Anyway, my daughter has been enjoying her classes here very much (so much that she didn't care for her ballet class anymore). I took her to class yesterday (Sunday) which turned out to be a family class. I participated with her, had fun (and sweated a lot), and felt it was another good way to bond with her. Yesterday's family class turned to be one of her favorite class days. read more

My 7yr old has been going here for 2years now, he enjoys it. I really appreciated how they managed online classes during Covid. Maintained cleanliness & masks smoothly, post lockdown. However, I would appreciate a more serious & focused class, 'cos sometimes there are 25-30 students in there, I see my son does mistakes & goes unnoticed hahaa. Very friendly & respectful staff. read more

We are now 3 years into our lessons at DoMartial Arts. Our son continues to look forward to class. He always leaves super happy and with a lot (sometimes too much haha) energy. Master CJ and JJ are super responsive and even support our son's school! They have reworked their schedule to have smaller classes now. We are glad we have stayed with DoMartial Arts! read more

Best Good place to recommended to friends and family ! My girl and her classmate love it read more

Do Martial Arts - Best and my girl it! Good to Recommendto your friends and Family !! Just like we did ! - Martial Arts Near Me - Castro Valley, California

A year and a half later, we still give Master CJ and his team 5 stars! Do Martial Arts navigated the Covid 19 pandemic without missing a beat! They quickly moved to Zoom classes and stayed engaged and encouraging to their students. It was truly a bright spot in the days of online learning for school for our son to still have Taekwondo! When they were able, they opened with great safety precautions and offered both indoor and outdoor lessons. The biggest concern I had when starting Taekwondo for our son, was that he would lose interest and I'd be fighting to get him to attend classes. That has not been the case, he still attends at least 4 days a week and I never have to nag him! It's because he loves learning Taekwondo from Master CJ and his team! read more

My two daughters have been with Do Martial Arts for the past two years. All the masters promote self confidence and respect for others. The studio is clean and well maintained. My kids are creating great memories and making new friends here. Highly recommend! read more

My daughter has been attending Do Martial Arts for over 3 years now. This is a really great studio - Masters CJ, JJ, Baessi and Clever are fantastic, they really know how to mix the fun and discipline to keep kids engaged. Would highly recommend them! read more

5 stars all the way. Master CJ: He knows how to work with the kids. The energy that he shows in the dojo is remarkable. The kids absolutely love him and are very inspired. JJ: Same. Ultra energetic. She and Master CJ teach because they love it, they live it not because they have to do it. Everyone is very professional and very responsive and always available to answer questions. We made a good decison to enroll our daughter into this program. She loves it and we love it too. read more

This is a great studio! The masters make learning tae kwon do a really fun experience. They know how to engage with little kids (4-6 yrs old) and keep them focused - all while teaching them different exercises and skills. The masters begin each class by asking students about their school day or what plans they have for the upcoming weekend. They encourage students to try new skills (kicking, punching, blocking, stances, etc.) and give gentle reminders about right side vs. left side, which is especially helpful for little kids. The studio also hosts a monthly 4km running day at Castro Valley High School. It's a family-friendly event. Participants even get certificates afterwards! I highly recommend this studio. read more

Instructors, Master CJ, Master JJ, Master Chris are really great with kids. The kids never dread coming to DOMA. They offer more than Taekwondo as some of the parents also take advantage of their "Parents Night Out" and the instructors watch the kids so parents can enjoy a night off. They also offer camps during breaks and holidays. Despite the growing enrollment, they still have the small business feel and the owners care very much for the students. read more

I am happy with the class, masters, and environment. My boy is having fun and being focused. I signed for one year tuition.

Hands down the best school for all ages, especially for kids. Great instructors, good vibes and great leaning environment. What else can you ask for read more

We've been coming here for about 4 months now and every master/ instructor here is so good with kids -- esp master JJ, master CJ and master Chris. They know how to make the kids feel special and included. My son is one of the younger ones but they are able to work with him and make sure he can keep up. They are also so accommodating and helpful with any questions or concerns we had. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants their LOs to have somewhere to get out energy and learn important life skills at the same time. read more

Do Martial Arts taught my kids how to have good manners to others and how to defend themselves. The instructors are really kind to the students and they teach them step by step on each move. My kids have been learning Taekwondo for 3 years and they are almost achieving Black Belt. Sometimes the kicks they do are hard but the masters will tell them to keep going until they reach their goal. Thanks to all the masters (esp. Master CJ) and the black belt assistants encouraged my kids with 'Can Do' mind. read more

Prior to attending Do martial Arts my child had problems/anxiety trying new things. Going to the park he wouldn't try to play with new kids it took a lot for him to open up. Do martial arts gave him the confidence to try new activities. The teachers are very good at keeping an inclusive environment. All 3 teachers are not only great at what they do but they are also great human beings. If you are on the fence about where to send your child start here. I highly recommend it. read more

DO Martial Arts is amazing! My two boys have been attending for almost a year now and they absolutely love it from the classes to parents night out. Master CJ, Master Chris, JJ and Staff are fantastic and great with the kids. They truly care about them. Since joining DO Martial Arts, my oldest son has gained more confidence and his coordination has improved. He surprised us by breaking 3 boards together during his belt test. We love seeing his growth and development. My youngest son is cruising thru the Little Warriors program and can't wait until he gets his black belt then start the Color Belt program. We highly recommend DO Martial Arts! read more

We love Do Martial Arts and enrolled both our son and daughter as soon as they turned 4 (now 8 and 5 years old)! Master CJ and JJ truly care about the students and really go out of their way to make it fun and engaging for everyone. We have had a positive experience with all of the other instructors and staff as well. I have recommended them to my nephew and niece and would highly recommend to anyone! read more

Do Martial Arts is a fantastic place to take Taekwondo. From classes to parents nights out to summer camps, my kids have done them all and beg to do them again and agin. Master CJ Lee is an amazing instructor, kind and calm while making sure everyone is learning and having fun. Highly recommend, even if you are unsure try the 3-class trial. It is so worth it!!! read more

Master CJ works wonders with the kids! He knows how to instill discipline, respect and confidence, while making the class fun. Aside from the physical exercise, there's also a cultural component, as he teaches a bit of Korean in class. What I appreciate most is the Positive Reinforcement ... kids are rewarded for the good deeds they do even outside class. For the Little Warriors, there is a good behavior chart that needs to be completed before moving up a belt. This is a great motivating force, especially at a young age when you want to develop good habits at home. This is our son's second year with Do Martial arts and Master CJ has been instrumental in finding his voice, confidence and growth. Him, along with Master Mario, JayJ and the rest of the Do-Family have been very welcoming and always helpful. They do a great job keeping the dojo clean and sanitized, and they are very responsive to any inquiries. Taekwondo lessons with Master CJ is one of the best decisions and commitment we've made for our son! read more

We have been going here for about 8 months now. We love it! The staff is amazing, Master CJ is awesome, he is so nice and fun! Class isn't boring at all, my son loves it here. They are super friendly and fun. They make the class really special. I love that you can come as many times during the week. Which makes it super easy for our schedule. My son has been learning a lot. He looks forward to getting colored tapes and new belt. Really a special place you won't regret! We are planning to keep him here as long as possible. read more

Do Martial Arts - Class in session! It's always packed, nice to come to a quite class. Lol - Martial Arts Near Me - Castro Valley, California

A very clean and nice new Dojo. The instruction is also top notch as they have really helped improve my Judo knowledge and skills. Master CJ is also very knowledgeable and he has helped me improve my technique which has helped a lot. The Sunday open mat workouts are also very fun and friendly. There's easy parking and changing areas inside. There's a welcoming environment from everyone whenever I attend classes which makes me look forward to attending more open mats. I'd highly recommend this Dojo to anyone looking to learn martial arts. read more
