This review is long overdue, but it's one I've been meaning to write because Tempest Taekwondo has…read morebeen such a huge part of our lives. If you're a parent looking for a taekwondo school that truly helps kids grow -- not just in skill, but in confidence and character -- this is it. My son started when he was 5, and now at 7, he's a purple belt! Over the past year, he's gained so much strength, balance, and focus... every belt promotion feels like a proud-parent moment. He walks out of every class a little taller and a lot more confident. I actually stumbled on Tempest by accident -- I was walking past the dojang on my way to Redlands Barre (same building!) and saw one of my girlfriends and her son in the Wolf Cubs class. A week later, my son was signed up, and the rest is history! The Tempest team -- Master Terrence, Instructors Minh and Vi, and the rest of the instructors -- go above and beyond for these kids. Classes are fun, challenging, and full of energy. They know how to push the students while still making it feel encouraging and positive. What really makes Tempest special is how much it feels like a family. Instructor Minh is amazing at keeping both parents and kids involved -- she reads out the goals and notes we parents submit so the kids hear that encouragement directly. The team also gives out Taekwondo cards for things like Best Attitude, Courage, Skill, Citizenship, and even special editions for training camps or holidays. It's such a clever way to reward effort and gamify progress! And an unexpected bonus -- taekwondo has made my son a way better soccer player! Something about learning to kick with precision and discipline has carried over to the field. His coordination, balance, and agility have skyrocketed. I swear his soccer game has improved fiftyfold since joining Tempest! Earlier this month, the Tempest team competed in the Orange County Open Martial Arts Championship in Newport Beach, and it was incredible to see how far they've all come. Watching them perform their poomsae together, show power in speed kicks and punches, and beam with pride was pure joy. My son brought home gold, silver, and bronze, and he was so proud of himself -- we were extra extra extra proud of him! We've also made some wonderful friendships through Tempest. Ethan's had playdates and hangouts with fellow students, and we've connected with such great families over the past year and a half. When your kid loves where they learn -- and you love the community that comes with it -- that's something really special. And speaking of community, Tempest organized an awesome camping trip at Silverwood Lake earlier this year -- movie night, Easter egg hunt, campfires, the works. It was such a fun weekend bonding with other families and the instructors who make this place feel like home. Watching our son's journey -- from wobbly white-belt kicks to confident purple-belt poomsaes -- has been one of the most rewarding parts of parenthood. Tempest isn't just about martial arts... it's about confidence, community, and character...on the mat and off.

This review is long overdue. Our son has been going to Tempest for 20 months now and we've seen…read moresuch exponential growth. He started at 4 y/o and just recently moved to intermediate level. Words are not enough to describe the experiences he's had in the last year, but suffice to say that we are extremely happy with the skills he's learned. Master Terrence and all the instructors (especially Alejandro and Lauren) are amazing. Instructors Minh and Vi are friendly and welcoming.The junior instructors are extremely helpful. Tempest has a very inviting and friendly environment with supportive instructors, family members and students. They offer free trial classes so make sure to check them out. If you think you or your child can benefit from the physical and mental discipline it provides, take a chance and join! You won't regret it.

His classes go far beyond only Tae Kwon Do, he stresses to the kids the need to know their parents' phone numbers, the importance of good hygiene and clipping their nails, and the need to obey and listen to their parents. He keeps the class on task the entire time but also keeps the kids smiling. My son looks forward to class every week and takes pride in working on his technique. My favorite part of the class is when he tells the kids to go and hug their parents before the class ends. Master Hernandez TKD has exceeded our expectations and we hope to enjoy his teachings for years to come.

I visited Hosanna TKD as an adult and earned my blackbelt at 25, so my perspective may be a little…read moredifferent. Master Park is a very caring instructor, and I like that he instills a small amount of both Korean culture (of which Taekwondo is founded on) while encouraging students to work hard and disciplining students when instructions are not followed. The class sizes are fairly small so every student can get personalized attention. When the classes are larger (5+) groups, his wife who is also a black belt also comes to help out. There are belt tests every two months, so students are always encouraged to work hard so that they can rank up. Being an adult, one could imagine that I could have paid my way towards a black belt at any other locations, but that was not the case here. I appreciated that Master Park still held me to the standards of any other students, and that was no joke when it came to flexibility and forms. While forms are often easier to master through repetition, splits were a much more challenging skill, and by the end of two years of training, I finally achieved 2/3 of my splits, with the last one being only about 5 inches off the ground. In addition to TKD and its benefits, Master Park also tries to incorporate other martial arts styles such as boxing and supplements a primarily lower-body style of martial arts with upper-body techniques as well. While COVID made it harder to be involved, I wanted to help support the family business through private lessons. While at the time Master Park had no time for private lessons, I am glad to hear that they now have more students, and it is also nice to see that he has hired some of the black belts as instructors at his studio.
