My kids love Jue's Taekwondo!! We have tried a few Taekwondo places in Pleasanton, and this one is definately our favorite. The teachers and masters are very patient and courteous. They provide a lot of resources and support for moving up to the next belt and are very flexible with their schedules.The masters guide the students at every step during the class to help them do their best. Hassel free and convenient progress tracking, announcements and Calendar schedule of events and testing on their website as well as on their App. We transitioned from once a week class to four times a week and we have noticably seen our kids' confidence levels, mindfulness and self awareness improve. We are excited to see how our kids progress with Jue's Taekwondo in the coming months! read more

Jue's Taekwon-Do - Taekwondo Near Me - Pleasanton, California

My kids have been doing taekwondo here for a few years now and I would definitely recommend this studio. The instructors really care about the students and they are passionate about what they teach. The kids learn more than just taekwondo skills. They learn about discipline, respect and perseverance which are invaluable skills that will stay with them for a long time. :) read more

My kids and I have been trained in TKD for nearly 2 years. Everyone in the studio is very nice, especially Master Jue's family. This place is not only a place where teaching you TKD techniques or self-defense techniques but also Master Jue teaches us his life's lessons, and my kids are learning discipline a lot. It's really a great benefit if your children can study here with him. I strongly encourage you and your family to try out Master Jue's classes, you won't be disappointed. I believe that. read more

Hands down the best martial arts studio in the tri-valley region! My kids have been taught by the team since 2015 and I've always had great things to say about them. Master Jue and the other instructors were exceptional to begin with and have crossed that high expectation bar in the present Covid impacted world. Jue's taekwondo added multiple online classes, outdoor (physically distanced, masks required) options, fun Friday class content, Accomplishments Build Character programs to keep kids engaged over the summer. Master Jue also adapted the program to ensure children could continue learning (with 1-1 mini lessons), online patterns and sparring competitions and testing, ensuring kids stay motivated. The Jue's taekwondo team also personally visited (masks, 6 feet distance) students and handed over new belts and certificates of achievement when the child earned their next rank. I'm amazed at how quickly and seamlessly they managed to convert what's essentially a hands on /in person experience to an online / hybrid one. As you can probably tell, I highly recommend them! read more

I have been going to Gordon Jue's Tae Kwon Do studio since I was a senior in high school, aka 2001. I've never taken a tae kwon do class, but have been taking his kick boxing classes whenever I was in town for the past 7 or so years. Gordon's kickboxing classes are absolutely fabulous. These are an intense work out. The price is a $50 sign up fee, which gives you a set of really nice boxing gloves and wraps, and then $40/month if you do credit card for all the kickboxing classes you can drag your weary body too. Gordon's a fabulous instructor, as is his wife, Grace; there are also a bunch of other instructors who support the different classes, and they are uniformly excellent as well. This is the best, most fun, most complete work out I've ever found anywhere, and believe me I've looked. Nothing can compete! If you want to try it out, just come to a class a little early and sign a disclaimer and the class is free. There's a complete schedule on his website. He also offers tae kwon do classes for all age groups, and has separate women's classes as well. He seems to have a great following for those classes, too, I've just never done them. Also: he's won best of the bay area like at least five times in a row, I can't believe I'm the first to review. read more

Joined few months ago we were transitioning from different school. Master Jue was very nice and helpful in transitioning my kid thru new school. Good place to learn Taekwando. Thank you Will definitely recommend this school. read more

Update: I have bumped up my review for this business from 4-stars because Jue's Taekwon-Do's response is very professional and respectful. Most businesses respond to negative reviews with hostility - this one was professional and constructive. All the best! Original Review I signed up for Kickboxing classes at Jue's TK first week of November 2016. It was great, until the owners started transitioning their daughter into the business. Now the class has been "nerfed" to remove all the fun, kickboxing moves, replacing them with bland, aerobics. But even worse, the environment there has just become hostile. For example, I was helping out by moving a heavy bag in place for the other students, as I've done many times, when the daughter yelled, scolding me in front of the entire class for "doing it wrong." For the record, not just me but all of us have been moving heavy bags the same way for as long as I've been there, and always under the guidance of the class instructor. This may have been the first time the daugher saw any of us move a heavy bag, but I doubt it. Not sure why she blew a gasket, but it was rude and inappropriate. Recently, someone walked in and started taking photos of me while I was working out. I asked her not to take photos of me, and she gave me an annoyed look. I found out later it was the owner taking photos to for advertising. I don't appreciate when people take my photo without even asking, leastwise for commercial purposes. Owner or not, it's basic manners to ask someone before taking their photo. Instead, I was told outright that I had "offended" the owner, and that I should apologize to her by email and in person for even objecting to having my photo taken. I was even told -how- I should apologize; by saying I thought the owner "was just a kid". The one extra star is for Nicole's training program at noon. I tried not to miss even a single class by Nicole - she was that good. But the owner's daughter completely changed the program and the amazing challenging workouts were replaced by new ones - and the new workouts were less challenging for me. read more

I came here in H/S and was surprised to find out it was still in the exact same place alive and kickin now that I'm back from college! In fact, Gordon even remember my name after a 6 year break, talk about feeling welcomed home! It is still the same price as it was 6 years ago too...40 bucks a month for unlimited classes!! And for someone who avoids the gym like the plague, this is an amazing deal. I've only done the kickboxing classes but let me tell you, it kicks your F*CKING ASS!! I've been doing it again for almost a month now and I am definately seeing an improvement in my body...I have muscle tone, strength, and I can almost make it through a whole class without collapsing (hahaha). It is truly an amazing workout that will never get boring. Even if you can make it through a class without dying (i'm almost there...), you can always hit the bag harder, work on your technique, and more! I loved this place 6 years ago, and I still love it today! read more

Well, for a first time kickboxer, I would highly recommend heading down to Jue's Taek-won Do. Gordon conducts classes MWF at 8Pm and his classes are a drainer. He eggs you on in a non-pushy manner and corrects you incase he sees you doing something wrong and have a possibility of injuring yourself. People who come to his classes are rather dedicated too, which is always a plus. Just make sure you carry a lot of water and a towel, because you will be dripping sweat by the buckets in a matter of an hour. You could bring your own gloves or buy them here like I did. Gloves are a $50 purchases. And membership is $40 per month for unlimited classes. I highly recommend Gordon's classes. They are usually packed though because he is such a great instructor :) PS: I need to head back soon! read more

I highly recommend Jue's Taekwon-Do and kickboxing classes. I am very impressed by Master Jue, his instructors, the facility and students. My 9 year old son and i enjoy taking lessons together, and spending quality father/son time. I also enjoy the different topics and lessons each day of the week, and the schedule flexibility throughout the day. (There are classes for age groups, families, and adults.) The focus on discipline, respect and self-confidence is really positive. Master Jue's school has produced world class martial artists, including international champions. The cardio kickboxing is also a great class, and i really like the flexible schedule. (There are 3 classes a day - early morning, noon and evening) Each hour class is broken down to stretching, cardio exercises and bag work. Unlike other cardio classes, we use the punching bags for resistance training. ( it is a lot of fun to kick and punch these bags) Self defense moves are introduced, and all combined produces a great cardio workout. Great stress relief while burning those calories! read more

The kickboxing class is great! 1 full hour of exercise and conditioning. Gordon and Grace Jue are completely dedicated to their class and offer top notch services. Plus, they know most everyone by name which makes going there very familiar and comfortable. Finally, there are so many cardio kickboxing classes offered it would fit into anyone's schedule. My son takes tae kwon do at the same studio (different hours) and he really enjoys it. He's only 5 but he can follow the instruction and aspires to be as good as the other kids. He gets exercise in a disciplined environment while learning some important self defense skills. read more

Mr.Jue and team are awesome. My son want to go to class everyday and I can see the improvement in his skill set and discipline. Highly recommend Jue's Taekwon-do read more

This is the 2nd martial arts place that I have ever taken kick boxing at and I must say...simply Amazing workout! Classes 3 times a day and they have classes on the weekends which is hard to find. I started about 2 months ago and I absolutely love it. Go at your own pace, but push yourself. Gordon is an amazing instructor and really pushes you...I haven't taken one of Grace's classes yet, but I hear she is awesome as well. Doesn't get better than this and its super affordable at $40/month. I used to pay $60/month to only come 3 days a week...so this is a great deal. read more

Master Jue is a phenomenal instructor. He is helpful patient and a true master of the art of Taekwondo. You will learn the defend yourself and you will feel proud each and every rank you climb. Great for beginners or returning to the fold. Would love to see more adults join up as well. read more

Never tried kick boxing in my life, and now I plan on doing it rigorously for a while. Gordon kicked my ass last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a fun, hard-working class, you'll want to push yourself to do better. I went here with my SIL (sis in law) and we were drenched in sweat from head to toe. Bring water and your own sparring gloves, or sing up with the studio for just $40 a month unlimited classes! You pay a one time $50 fee for gloves if you buy them there. The classes are small (about 12 people when I went last night) and at all levels so you don't feel left out. Gordon is a great instructor and encourages you to do your best without hurting yourself--too much. :) Can't wait to go back and start kickboxing more. Such a great investment in such a fun environment. I'm a runner and have tried yoga as my off running days, but kickboxing seems so much more rewarding. Music blasts while you work out and the time goes by quick. read more

I went to Jue's Taekwon-do to try the kick boxing classes at night since I work in the city and cant make it to any other times. I brought two other girls with me to try it out. I HAD A BLAST! I had read the reviews, gave it a shot and couldn't have been happier. I left feeling strong, healthy, sore, and a little bit winded haha to be honest. I am out of shape now but will definitely be back to visit his classes again. Plus $40 for unlimited classes is hard to beat, I cant wait to go buy my pink gloves and hand wraps :) ! read more

The kickboxing class is awesome! After a long break from taekwondo, I decided it was time to get back in shape. I just started last week with my younger sister and her friend who attended when they were in HS and it's been great so far. Gordon is the best! He'll call you out if your slacking and encourages and pushes you to get a great workout! This is the first place outside of the Krav Maga in SF that's intense, yet fun. There's great balance between the cardio and bag work. read more

This place truly is remarkable. As a kick boxer I get the best exercise while learning great self defense techniques at the same time. Gordon Jue is awesome! I HIGHLY recommend Jue's Taekwon-Do! Event if you've never tried Kick Boxing Gordon will work with you! So come check us out! read more

Jue's TKD has been doing an excellent job in adapting to the challenging situation this year. They started offering online streaming classes and Zoom 1:1 sessions when we first started shelter in place. As the health department loosens up restrictions, they started offering in person classes outside with proper social distancing protocols and mask wearing requirements. They listens to community's feedback and go extra mile to help the students and families in keeping up the classes and practice. We highly recommend Jue's Taekwondo! read more

The best TaeKwonDo studio in the region, providing the USA team with some of its best elements !

Jue's Taekwondo has had such a positive influence on my life. Not only is Master Jue a great instructor, but the students are also extremely kind and hardworking while maintaining a healthy level of competition. Taekwondo with Master Jue has truly taught me the values of self discipline and perseverance. read more

It's a very wonderful studio that has shaped and molded my life growing up and has made me into a better person. The people here are great and the service is great as well. read more

My family and I have been going to Master Jue's Taekwon-Do classes for ~9 months now so I wanted to write up a review. Simply put, it is amazing and I have to attribute it to the dedication and devotion of not only Gordon Jue but the high ranking belts that help out every day. The flexibility of the classes compared with the monthly price far exceeds any of the other schools we had checked out. Having a 7th degree Black Belt teach the classes - along with other 1st degree to 4th degree instructors - is excellent. You are constantly learning the small details of why you do things a specific way and what occurs if you don't. It's not just a straight martial-arts workout but a learning experience at the same time. And Master Jue's dedication shines through every day - along with his sense of humor which helps! Knowing that you are at a school which has brought home Gold, Silver, and Bronze in WORLD competitions is impressive; there is no other way to say it. If you want to join a studio that will teach you not only the details of Taekwon-Do but life lessons and new friendships, do not pass this place up. My entire family enjoys coming to it as often as we can. read more

An excellent place to work out. The studio is very clean, it's spacious, well lit, has a great a/c- ventilation system, the mat is fantastic and the equipment is also excellent. There are two bathrooms for dressing and several benches in front to place items while working out. The owner/operators are highly skilled in martial arts and kick boxing and they are able to tap in to those skills resulting in a very effective teaching technique for students of all levels. There are also several other instructors who incorporate their own style of teaching which enhances the opportunity for a student to improve. The atmosphere is is a combination of cordial, business like and social which provides a comfortable setting for students to continually participate. Another important thing is that there are 17 kick boxing classes each week and the monthly fee allows a student to attend as many classes as they want to. I have been attending regularly since August 2006. Bottom line is that at age 59 I still work out, I get good results and have no plans to change. read more

This review is long over due. Gordon the owner is the best! He really cares about his members and will take care of you. I used to do the kickboxing classes and it's a great workout that gives you the community feel. You're not just another number or dollar sign to them. I do not currently go to this gym anymore due to my work schedule. But I would definitely recommend them to anyone! It's affordable, great workout and they treat you like family. Gordon was very understanding when I had to cancel my membership. I have nothing but nice things to say about this place! Highly recommend to anyone $40 for unlimited classes! Fun, great community environment. read more

I've trained with Jue's TKD for 8 years - I've lost baby weight, improved my strength (cardio kickboxing), discovered cycling, and most recently began running with Gordon. Gordon and Grace make you feel welcome, will insist you work hard and are truly invested in your success. This is the best place to get fit and enjoy the process! read more

Jue's is the best Taekwon-Do studio. They have flexible timings and are open 7 days. Master Jue maintains discipline but keeps it light with a good sense of humor. Mrs. Jue is very understanding and helpful. She's always available to answer questions, in person or through email. We love this place and have strongly recommended it to friends. read more

My son has been training at Jue's for almost a year. Prior to that, he trained at 2 different Taekwon-Do schools in San Ramon. What my son likes best about Jue's is the respect that everyone shows for each other. The environment is very positive and encouraging. The students feel free to ask questions and are not discouraged when they make mistakes. It's definitely worth driving to Pleasanton to train with Master Jue! read more

We just started taking classes at Jue's and love it! The instructors are professional, knowledgeable, and great with kids. The facility is clean and inviting. We love that they offer unlimited classes and will be continuing our training here! read more

Six years ago when I first moved to the bay my now hubby took an internship for three months in Chicago. Thanks. No, no. Go ahead, I'll find something to keep myself occupied in this new place with no friends. Really it was fine. But to keep myself occupied I enrolled in kickboxing classes at Jue's Taekwon-Do since hubby has been a student of Master Jue's since high school. Kick boxing kicked my butt. It was fun, tough, effective and never boring. I don't go anymore because of my work schedule but I'd highly reccommend his classes for any and all from beginners to experienced. read more

SWEAT, SWEAT, and more SWEAT without the blood and tears! Awesome workout and a cool instructor. Kind of addicting!

My kids have been learning from Master Jue for a little more than 5 years now, and they love it! Master Jue is very encouraging and teaches them life lessons that are very important for kids to know. Such as perseverance, self-control, courtesy, discipline, etc. There are many people that help out and are motivational. Teachers there have lots of experience from world champion ships and they help pass down their knowledge of tae kwon do to my children and others. I would highly recommend Jue's taekwondo because their environment is very nice and friendly which is great for kids. They locations in San Ramon and Pleasanton which is very convenient, as well. read more

Everyone I know loves Gordon! I think this has the makings of a new reality T.V. show.

My son had been Master Jue's student for almost ten years, he is off to college now. I wholeheartedly recommend Master Jue's class ti any child. This school not just teaches the martial arts (which of course it does extremely well, many students got medals on the last two World Championships in 2012 and 2014), but also helps them to become decent human beings. We are very lucky to have this school in our town. read more

****THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE!**** Since joining the Kickboxing classes I am in the best shape of my life. ( I am in my (50's). The Kickboxing, while fun and challenging, is by far the best workout and you "WILL" get results. (the price you pay...you get to have fun, hang our with cool people, enjoy the great music, sweat a lot and GET RESULTS...and still leave with a smile on your face...) I also joined the TaeKwon-Do classes after being deeply inspired by watching the students. (I watched for over a year before building the courage) Knowing what I know now I wish I had joined sooner. MASTER JUE is an ELITE Taekwon-Do Instructor and his bar of standards is set very high - you will achieve excellence under his training. MASTER JUE'S dedication, knowledge and passion to maintain the highest standards of the Art of Taekwon-Do is evident in his teachings and reflected in his students. It is worth mentioning his students have won Gold Metals at the World Championships. I am very proud and honored to be one of his students. I know when I enter the studio and line up with my fellow TaeKwon- Do colleagues... I am in the presence of a Master. The training and rewards you receive at Master Jue's TaeKwon-Do is priceless! (The monthly fee's for both classes affords you UNLIMITED ACCESS...) So.... When you have unlimited access to "WORLD CLASS TRAINING"..... HOW DO YOU PUT A PRICE ON THAT??? Master Jue has earned this 5 star review... read more

I absolutely LOVE the kickboxing class! I try to attend the Wed & or Thurs night classes. The instructors are awesome! I originally joined so I can get in shape for my wedding this month but now I see this is a great class to stick with to maintain my figure. All of the instructors are very friendly and motivating! So worth $40 a month for unlimited classes! You can even bring a guest for a free class trial! I will for sure continue promoting Jue's! read more

Kickboxing is a Great Exercise!!! I love it Definitely gets energy out

Where do I even begin? This incredible establishment has genuinely changed my life. Gordon and Grace are simply the most amazing, dedicated, welcoming people, who run truly a professional and inspiring business. I began attending kickboxing classes about 3 years ago and loved it, however became pregnant and was asked by my doctor to take a break during pregnancy. After my son was born I just could not get my act together and make it to the classes/find childcare when not working. Eventually I realized how out of shape I had become and thankfully was able to return a few months ago. I will NEVER leave again! The classes are always high energy, unbelievable workouts. Each day/week different areas of the body (legs, arms, abs, etc.) are focused on, different music is played, different combinations and moves are used, sometimes there are punching bag focused classes or partner work, the diversity of exercise makes the experience engaging, exciting, and works your entire body. Everyone who attends the classes is positive, supportive, and friendly, it truly is a mini community. If you are interested in weight loss and overall health, these classes are exactly what you need. I have held an extra 8lbs of baby weight for the last year and after only 2 months of kickboxing I have lost 4 of those pounds and I am just getting started! But even more importantly my energy levels are higher, my confidence has grown, and I can throw a pretty mean punch! I adore Grace's morning classes, to start the day with a kick butt hour of exercise and be done at 7am with the whole day ahead of you is the most energizing feeling. Gordon's evening classes are intense and will have you drenched in sweat and preparing you for a very restful night sleep. And to top everything off, the monthly price point is incredibly generous given the number of classes offered, it's simply the best deal in town and a place that will offer you health, fitness, and friendship. I cannot say enough positive things about the kickboxing program at Jue's Taekwon-Do. Give it a try and see for yourself! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more
