His patience, dedication, and commitment to his students' personal growth are unmatched. He teaches taekwondo, but he also teaches respect, discipline, confidence, and character, which is just as important. Yes, classes may sometimes run a little over but it's never an extra charge or inconvenience. You can take your kid home if you need to leave early but most parents usually stay the extra time because Master Raya genuinely cares about teaching, not just the clock. If he feels a child needs a bit more time to understand a technique or build confidence, he gives it without hesitation. As a paying parent, I deeply appreciate that level of genuine care. Another thing that speaks volumes: almost all the kids come five days a week because they want to be there. The program is strong, the environment is positive, and the community feels like a big supportive family. My son looks forward to every class. We're truly grateful for the passion, integrity, and heart Master Raya puts into every session. Warrior Taekwondo is built strong and it starts with a strong leader. Highly recommend!

The warriors learn ITF, as well as WTF and they are all very disciplined and determined to learn and grow. We are all very close and it feels like a community here at Master Raya's Dojo! He spends many hours here and it shows in his skill level and his devotion to his art. Thank you master Raya for all you do!! Where's your Kia?!?

I drive my son here from the opposite end of the valley twice a week because they are worth every mile and minute. I am in awe every time I watch them teach these kids- whether it be a class of 2 or 20- with ease and unwavering patience. They are not here to take your money to turn your kid into Hwoarang. They are here to improve the whole child (and the whole community) by teaching and modeling respect, self vs group awareness, initiative to support others, and inner strength. They have met my kid in all his moods and learning challenges without judgement. And I've noticed it's not just with my kid. They treat every single kid there in the same way- not robotically, but with an abundance of compassion and an understanding of how much they can push a personality to strengthen without discouraging. I'm not being dramatic when I say- this place, these masters, they're the secret to humanity.

Master Sunmi and Master Kim are absolutely wonderful - they strike the perfect balance of discipline, encouragement, and fun. From the very first class, they made my daughter feel welcome and confident. We've seen such growth not only in her Tae Kwon Do skills but also in her focus, respect, and self-confidence. The studio has a very positive and family-friendly atmosphere, and you can tell the masters truly care about each student's progress, both on and off the mat. We love how they teach important life values like perseverance and respect while still keeping the kids engaged and excited to come back each week. If you're looking for a place where your child can learn martial arts in a supportive environment with amazing teachers, I highly recommend US Tae Kwon Do Porter Ranch!

My heart sunk but i was so grateful to Master Park for workingwith our son. On the third class, he participated in the entire class and got his white belt!

I've never seen him listen so attentively or follow instructions so well in any other sport or activity. The energy in the room was fantastic, and the instructors did an excellent job of keeping the kids focused while creating a positive and encouraging environment. They were firm when needed, patient, and always willing to help my son throughout the class. What stood out to me the most was the culture of teamwork and support. Several of the kids went out of their way to help my son, and it was great to see the older students taking an active role in keeping the younger kids engaged, attentive, and included.
