My youngest daughter's Taekwondo journey began a little over 6 years ago. We initially started out at the Rancho Cucamonga KTI location. Her journey took a pause about 8 months later when Covid 19 shut everything down. The result was the closure of that dojang, but this Fontana location reached out to us and extended the opportunity for her to continue classes at this dojang. It was a bit of an adjustment for her as far as technique, style and having to almost relearn everything due to the pause forced upon her journey. Master Nick and his fellow instructors have always been patient and kind, not only to my daughter, but to our entire family. As she's grown, she's developed quite a rapport with several of the instructors. Instructor Manny has sort of taken her under his wing and guided her along the way. There's a physical dynamic to this sport, obviously, but there's also a mental aspect as well, and that's something he's been able to help her with, helping her build confidence and remove negative self-talk. They offer group classes and also private lessons, a sparring class, cardio fitness class, etc. We also enjoy the special events they have which include visits from Kona Ice, Nerf Night, movie nights, BBQ and swim parties at the local aquatics center. They also hold an annual sparring tournament. It definitely feels like a family here. My daughter officially started her black belt training the day after testing for and receiving her red stripe belt. Instructor Manny took it upon himself to make sure she had her red stripe belt prior to the beginning of training. Black belt training is no joke. It's a 10-week training on top of regular classes, a 2-day testing and 6-month probation prior to receiving. The testing was intense and intimidating, but also one of the most amazing events I've ever been fortunate enough to witness. The camaraderie these students developed was amazing to see. Parents and supporters cheering them on. We're sworn to secrecy on the process, but that black belt was most definitely earned! This past weekend, probation was over and my daughter received her first degree black belt. She looks forward to continuing on the pursue her second degree and hopefully becoming a junior instructor. I'd highly recommend KTI for taekwondo! Thank you, KTI! read more

My son has learned much more than martial arts at KTI- he has learned confidence, mental toughness, and self discipline all while having tons of fun! Master Nick and Instructors Manny, Billy, and Ash are wonderful with the students; the perfect amount of encouragement and tough love. If your family has any interest in learning taekwondo, I highly recommend giving KTI a try :) read more

Our girls (ages 5 and 8) have been going here for one year now and they love it. KTI isn't just about teaching martial arts for all ages, but they also teach about respecting one another, using your voice, being confident, self discipline and accountability. Every instructor here does a great job with the kiddos, and they really know how to making learning fun for every age group and how to keep a large group of kids engaged. Everyone here is very friendly and work with you and your kiddo with whatever needs your kiddo may need (within reason) such as scheduling and make ups. Wonderful experience for the kids and an awesome experience as a parent watching their kids grow in this environment. read more

KTI has been such a positive experience for both my boys. I have seen such a positive impact on their confidence, discipline, and self defense skills thanks to Master Nick and team. Instructors Billy and Manny create such a fun, high energy environment that's keeps all the students engaged and eager to learn. read more

We checked out a few places before finally settling on signing up with KTI in March. All the instructors, along with Master Nick are very nice and knowledgeable. They teach the class while also making it fun for the kids, and my daughter looks forward to her class each time. Being at KTI has helped her learn self defense along with speaking up more, and being more confident. Highly recommend! We walked in to check them out and was able to observe a class and talk to Master Nick to find out more information on signing up. read more

Master Nick and his Instructors are very personal and kind. They support and reflect home like values extremely suitable for young children. My 5 year old has gained much more confidence and became much more agile. The time they spend in basic movements and 3 way communication has helped build my little girls discipline and speech. I highly recommend this place, as they are much more than kicks and punches. read more

My daughter just started a month ago and she absolutely loves it here. Master Nick and all of his instructors are professionals. They are positive and model what they preach so the kids quickly catch on. The goal for my daughter was to bring her out of her shell and within a few weeks I could see her participating in class, smiling, learning and so much growth in her confidence! What more can I ask for?! Thank you Master Nick and all of the instructors for making this a positive environment, keep up the great work and we're looking forward to watch Amelia grow in her love for Taekwando! read more

We have been with KTI Fontana for over a year and absolutely love it. I have an 8 and 4 year old who attend two sessions a week. Master Nick and all of the instructors are great at working with kids and helping them move at their own pace while building confidence. Classes are fun, engaging, and structured; and instructors have very high expectations of students. I have seen an improvement in motor skills, listening skills, and confidence in both of my kids since we started. I highly recommend them if you're looking to enroll you child in martial arts. read more

Kim's Tae Kwon Do - Taekwondo Near Me - Fontana, California

I started taking my daughter here at KTI Fontana about 2 weeks ago. My daughter was not confident enough to join the class at first, but after her first class she was always looking forward to coming. This place is great. All the instructors are professionals and have patience for the beginners. The class is fun, and everyone has great teaching skills. I think I am going to enroll my son as well (he is ASD/ ADHD). I am happy we signed up for my daughter. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to enroll your child for martial arts. read more

We are still new - My son started a week ago. And the instructors, Manny, Billy, Alana, and some of the others, I still haven't gotten all their names yet, have all been so good with my kiddo. He is being tested for being on the spectrum and ADHD. They are all so good with him. He has gone 2 times so far and every time he is gets out of the class he feels so good about himself. I just can't explain how much that means for us. For my son, it is good to get up and move around since he is homeschooled and the social interaction. But I am happy with the respect, discipline, and confidence it is building in my son. I am happy we signed him up and hope for many more days with the company. Last but certainly NOT least, Master Nick, has been a total doll. He was very accepting of my son and his differences. I am happy to have found the place. We enjoy watching our kid get better with each class! ^_^ -Stacey E read more

The discipline and respect my son has cultivated from his time at KTI with Master Nick and the crew has been immeasurable. He has improved in flexibility but most importantly his confidence. read more

As a parent, I cannot say enough positive things about Kim's Tae Kwon Do. The respect they hold for our children and us parents is exemplary. The Dojang is always clean and upkeep. The most positive impact they have had has been with the discipline and respect they have instilled in my son. Master Nick, when he needs to be firm, he does so by respecting the little human he has in front of him. Master Nick and the Dojan instructors have a tremendously positive influence on our boy. My son, in the beginning, was a bit apprehensive, but now he is strongly motivated, and my husband and I do not have to push too much. We are happy with Kim's Tae Kwon Do and are very excited to see our son thrive in such a positive atmosphere. read more

My experience at this facility WAS great, we loved Master Nick... I had to cancel because my son was overwhelmed with school & other after school activities. They kept debiting $120 out of my bank acct numerous times after I cancelled. I had called and reminded them that we cancelled 2 months ago and weren't attending, so why are we being billed??? Then I would get an apology and after a few weeks billed again! It was very upsetting to see they weren't professional about it. ** Update ** It is now December, I still have not received the 2 months credited. And Ms. Sunny lied to my bank and told them I was in an agreement after I cancelled to restart in the fall. Which is false! She said they would call me first to confirm if we wanted to start back up again. She did call, we told her it wasn't working out & we were not going to continue. Yet, we were billed again. I have called Ms. Sunny every week for the past few months, leaving messages at both offices. Not once has she returned my call. This has been so upsetting not to be resolved. It's about the principle now. read more

It's a great experience and my daughter and my boy had great time here. Every time when my son couldn't go to Tae kwon Do, I called and I told them I don't have time to take my son to make up class the same week or the following week and asked if he can make up classes at the end of his contract. Every time, they said yes. And I told them how many classes my son missed in total. So every time, they said missed classes can be made up after the current contract ends. Today, it's my son's contract last day. Master Nick said he did said he agreed before, but he said they now changed their agreement details and missed classes can't be made up after the contract ends. So he said today is the last class for my son. But my son missed for about 16 classes in total including the dates they had for testing. It's about 2 months (2 classes one week). It's disappointing as they did promise my son can make up those classes but Master Nick denied it at the last day. read more

Master Nick is amazing and soooo good with the kids! That truly is a blessing and a gift all in one. The staff is super helpful and nice as well. This is a great place for kids. Master Nick is also firm with the kids which is very positive for them. I recommend this place read more

This is a great martial arts studio. Master nick is a fantastic instructor, he's very passionate and knowledgeable about the art of Tae Kwon do. I appreciate his patience and instruction whenever teaching me and the rest of his students new techniques. The thing I like most about his classes are that they have lot of variety, meaning we don't do the same thing class after class, he always has something new for us, but as the same time reinforces the skills we've already learned. No matter what your goal is, you'll be able to accomplish it here, whether it be to get in shape (my main goal), work on flexibility, gain discipline, or just be able to defend yourself this is the place to go. read more

As an individual looking for different ways to stay active I'm SO glad I found Kim's Tae Kwon Do. This is an awesome place for anyone of all ages trying to learn the Art. You can tell that Master Nick ( Kyosanim ) is very passionate about what he does as a teacher and he truly wants everyone to Succeed! That is definitely someone you want as a leader and teacher. I KNOW I DO. :-) read more

My kids just started here last week. They were in TKD for 4 years back in Texas. Master Nick is so amazingly energetic that the kids feed off of it. He is strict and funny. He is truly a role model for the kids. Plus, you can easily tell he is a badass in the way he kicks and punches. My kids will be members here for many years. read more

I am returning to update my review 8months ago. The reason I have drop it down to 3 stars is because this do-Jo is starting to fall short of focusing toward teaching for the love of Taekwondo but shifting toward Kids = $$$. Every marketing strategy is toward $$. Here are some examples 1) refer more friends gets u a better and more patches uniforms. Need to say that a simple logo short sleeve t-shirt cost $25. 2) I was one of the few original sign ups in August 2014 and actually paid $1200 (supposedly for 2days/week. However I found out that my neighbor (whom signed up 1month before) was only paying $1k. 3) he markets bringing a friend for sleep over events but it cause $$ 4) every belt test cost $$ (yellow and orange belt $75, green jumped to $85 and who knows how much blue and purple would cost... not to say there might be strips in between each belt). My concerns is after speaking to different TK do-Jo their belts cost about $35-$55. And remembering when I took TK (as a HS kid) my lower belt test was only $25. So only if this was disclosed at the beginning of paying the annual fees upfront, I would not have paid In full. 5) he test kids every month and some kids I felt was NOt ready for advancement. So my opinion is most belt should be 2-3 months. Lastly, to join the sparring team , this would cost u an addition $600/3months with only 2hr/Saturday . 6) when I took TK, each belt has a pattern of their own so to advance the kids to higher belt and not able to master the simple stands would beat the purpose of technique and patterns of TK. Lastly this do-Jo doesn't start breaking boards until green belt...hummm, I think this is To late but I am seeing Master nick allow the white belt students beginning to spar. I think he should have them pair up separately to practice their sparring with more instructors to guide them. So I like to upfront new members with all these cost before you commit your child into KTI. . This review is strictly the approach of how this do-Jo is targeting parents to pay for young kids trying to learn how to protect themselves. I still praise the great teaching techniques and his excellent interactions with the kids. But to an above average income family, it's quite $$$$. Thanks Parents of a "whimpy kid" read more

Master Nick and Instructor Devon are super friendly instructors. Extremely patient with my 5 yr old, which at that age can be tough to teach. My daughter looks forward to every class! They make every class fun and different while incorporating Tae Kwon Do specific techniques and teachings. I think after watching her sister in class my 2 year old wants to join too! read more

My 5 year old son Drew just started 2 weeks ago. His problem was not confidence, or athletic skill, but listening and following directions. After just a few lessons his overall attitude and behavior is getting much better. I intend to keep him in the class as long as it keeps affecting him in a positive way. read more
