We drive 35 mins to attend this school while passing dozens of other martial art studios for the following reasons: Master Olson in the Danville studio is very age appropriate in his teaching and coaching methods. The lessons on the 5 tenets (modesty, integrity, perseverance, self control and indomitable spirit) has helped my son in the past 1 1/2 years to be more confident, responsible and goal driven. I love that the classes are not only separated by skill set but also by age groups. The parents viewing area is open to observe all elements of the class and the transparency has been refreshing! You can tell that child safety, cleanliness and positive reinforcement is a priority for this school. Finally, unlike other schools, the use of the Korean language, explanation on the culture and history of TKD has allowed my son to learn about his heritage along with the significance of what he is learning. I highly recommend this school and instructors for any age!!

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.

Our family has had a truly wonderful experience at All American Black Belt Academy!…read more My children started classes in June 2023, and it's been amazing to watch them grow -- not just in their karate skills, but also in confidence, focus, and goal-setting over the past year. Seeing how much they enjoyed it inspired me to join as an adult beginner in May 2025. I was a little nervous at first, but the instructors were incredibly welcoming and supportive. The positive atmosphere they create makes it easy for students of all ages and levels to feel comfortable and motivated. Training together has become a special part of our family routine -- quality time that we all look forward to each week. The dojo is very family-friendly, and the classes teach valuable life skills in addition to martial arts. I would highly recommend All American Black Belt Academy to anyone -- whether you're looking for a program for your kids, yourself, or the whole family. It's so much more than a karate class -- it's a wonderful community that helps you grow stronger both inside and out!

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.
