My son started here when he was just 4.5 years old, and by age 9, he earned his Black Belt. Even after reaching this amazing milestone, his passion for Taekwondo is stronger than ever as he continues to train toward his 2nd Dan. Seeing his long-term dedication speaks volumes about the quality of instruction and culture here. Master Nila is exceptionally skilled, patient, and truly cares about the students. The instructors know exactly how to instill discipline, focus, and confidence in kids at just the right stage in their development, helping them grow both on and off the mat. We love the environment so much that my daughter recently joined as well. Both of my kids look forward to every single class and are having a fantastic time learning together. If you're looking for a martial arts school in Fremont that offers excellent instruction, builds strong character, and feels like a welcoming community, Mach Martial Arts is the place to be! read more

Mach Martial Arts - Class time - Taekwondo Near Me - Fremont, California

Mach Martial arts has been a fantastic experience for my kid. She absolutely loves it. The class results in such increase in focus and self confidence! Master Sunny is unbelievably good at balancing being silly and friendly and encouraging discipline. The kids clearly look up to her. Master Nile is incredibly witty and innately inspiring for the kids to gain skills like his. Overall, I think this physical education only becomes more and more important as my child grows. It is also great to see the older kids that earned their black belt, and still hold the passion to give back to the Taekwondo community. I see them assist the masters in classes and tests. Kudos! read more

We started at Mach Martial when my daughter was 5, and it's been such a wonderful journey watching her grow from a little tiger.. We are so grateful for the valuable teachings from Master Nile and Master Sunny over these two years. While Taekwondo is often associated with physical fitness and martial arts, I truly appreciate how they weave in important life lessons. There's always a thoughtful "topic of the week," and they consistently incorporate it into each session in a meaningful way. The environment is warm, welcoming, and incredibly organized. The instructors are always available to answer questions, and the assistant instructors deserve a huge shout-out as well--they are so encouraging, motivating, and patient with the kids. This has been our favorite after-school class so far, and we couldn't be happier! read more

My son has been a student here for over a year now and he absolutely loves it here. The teachers (masters / sensei) here are amazing, especially for the care and approach they take when teaching younger kids. And it's not just the martial arts the kids are being taught here but there is an equal emphasis on discipline, teamwork and focus. We're really happy to have our son be a student here. read more

Mach martial arts is amazing. My son recently started going here and he loves it. You can tell that the people instructing have a serious love for martial arts. They are strict and teach about discipline and respect. The instructors remember every kids name and great them with enthusiasm. Seriously couldn't have asked for a better place to learn martial arts. My son and his 3 friends won't stop talking about it and they all practice together on their free time. They let you try out 4 classes to see if it right. I'm Throughly impressed and seriously 4.8 out of 5 stars isn't a high enough rating for Mach. read more

Both of my kids have been going to Mach martial arts , and the growth we've seen--both physically and mentally--has been amazing. It's a very positive, supportive environment, and the instructors are consistently encouraging. We're really grateful for the confidence and discipline it's helping them build. read more

What a great place for kids, no wonder there's a waitlist! They are strict, but very encouraging. It's clear that they teach discipline and self-confidence. The kids love that they get to yell too! read more

We started several weeks ago and it's been a great experience for my daughters. Master Sunny is an excellent teacher; she teaches them technique and discipline without being boring. That's why the girls always want to go. read more

It is an exceptional martial arts school led by outstanding leadership. Master Nile is the epitome of hard work, dedication, precision and consistency. His passion for Taekwondo is evident in both his teaching style and daily interactions with students, striking a perfect balance between discipline and fun. He has a sharp eye for detail, nothing goes unnoticed under his supervision. He leads by example, inspiring children to become stronger physically, mentally and emotionally. He is a remarkable role model who demonstrates perseverance and commitment every single day, much like the legendary Bruce Lee. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, with each day is centered around a specific "topic of the week" that instills positivity, confidence, discipline and inner strength in students. Master Sunny is a wonderful blend of perfection, dedication and fun. She teaches children proper techniques without being overly strict and children absolutely love her. Mr. Noah is an excellent Taekwondo instructor who remains humble, follows the guidance of his seniors and continues to grow into an outstanding instructor. His dedication to Taekwondo is clearly visible. He is observant and humorous, keeping the environment structured yet light and enjoyable for children. All instructors, including the assistant instructors at MMA, live by the philosophy of providing the best training to children while remaining humble, approachable and fun, ensuring that kids never feel overwhelmed. One session that truly stood out to me as a parent was focused on teaching students how to face bullies with confidence and handle challenging situations. These are important yet difficult conversations for parents to navigate at home. When these lessons come from their Master with right approach, children truly understand and follow them, making the impact powerful. I believe all schools should offer such sessions, especially as children transition from elementary to middle school. From daily classes to summer camps and special events throughout the year, Mach Martial Arts creates an environment that children are genuinely excited to be part of. My daughter looks forward to every class and never wants to miss a session, which speaks volumes about how much she loves being there. Before joining Mach Martial Arts, we tried several other martial arts schools in the area, and none stood out the way this one did. Like many other parents, I truly believe that enrolling my daughter here was the best decision I could have made. If you are looking for a place that builds strength, focus, confidence, discipline and positivity in your child, this is it. This place has a vibe! read more

During this Thanksgiving holiday we would like to take the chance to express our appreciation to Mach Martial Arts. Although we are newly moved to here, the atmosphere in the class that was lead by Master Nile and Master Sunny are welcome to our two kids. We appreciate their teaching especially focus discipline and continued encourage our children keep growing and become better. We found Mach Martial Arts was the best for my kids to continue their taekwondo in Fremont. In few months, they have learned a lot including getting their black belt as well as Form improvements. My daughter also learned how to be an assistant instructor and how to be a good example for the younger students. We really recommend Mach Martial Arts. read more

Highly recommend. Great with kids. Treat their clients kindly and a very clean facility.

My son has been attending for almost 2 years and the growth physically and mentally has been great to see as a parent. I love that Mach not only focuses on the physical aspect but also how they instill positive mindsets for these young minds. The masters and assistant instructors come with so much energy and their love for the sport is contagious. read more

This taekwondo school is so well run. My son really enjoys the instructors. They are energetic, funny, work well with the kids and teach them skills while having fun. I'm a school teacher and I'm very impressed with the staff. We recommend Mach Martial Arts! read more

My kid has been going there for over a year now. They mix martial arts teaching with the right amount of discipline and fun. My kid looks forward to his classes twice a week and takes pride in how much he has learnt so far. read more

My boys H&R have been attending for 3 years. They hate organized sports so this was the best way I could get them to exercise. I really appreciate that they also teach about morals and character. Part of the testing process is you can request them to speak with your child about areas in their life they need to improve. I think the price is also best in Fremont, you get a discount for annual payment and siblings. I really don't understand the reviewer who said it's not family friendly. My friend's family who attend loved it so much for their kids that the parents also joined and now they are a family of 5 black belts! The boys like all the instructors, especially Master Niles, Master Sungjin, and Master Michelle. I want my daughter to grow up to be just like Michelle! She is a superstar! read more

Mach Martial Arts - Breaking competition! - Taekwondo Near Me - Fremont, California

I was looking for a martial art class for Long time and but it kept on pushing for future finishings until I found a perfect fit this Mach Martial art class for my 5 years old son. Although he is just beginner but just loves It . A friend of mine told me about it as her son also comes here . Before entering into the class my son cribbed about not to join the class but the day one when he walked in to the class they made him fall in love with it . He was comfortable there little after . Didn't feel like he was a newcomer. They make sure the new kid is well welcomed and feel comfortable there!! The energy in all the instructors are amazing!! Kids love it so much as well all the adults/ parents who come while watching them learning. It's very interesting to watch them. The teachers keep it going without dropping any bit of effort, or energy and kids love it so much that they crave so much to come back to the class every day!! I can tell as my son doesn't want to Go back to home after the comes to the class All the teachers are so well trained and full of energy and enthusiasm. Specially Master Niles is the teacher who teaches my sons class with other teachers and I so like his enthusiasm and energy. They keep the class well balanced, with different routines and practices and I also noticed that no matter how new or old your kid is they feel comfortable right after joining. they split into 3-4 parts according to your skills so all the kids get equally attention. They put so much energy into the class to build the focus in kids. They also teach the discipline, and respect for elders. To begin with them, they offer a full month free 8 classes before you sign up for anything which is awesome. I would highly recommend to my each and every friend and family to bring their kid or if they want to do for themselves. This is the place I must say !! Best wishes team Mach Martial!! read more

My kids wanted to help me write this review. They are 4 and 6 years old. This establishment is located in Ohlone Village Shopping Center near Mission Pizza and Spices. We signed up for their free 1 month trial classes for little tigers. The classes are high energy, the teachers motivate the kids in a kind, but authoritative manner, and the kids respond! From the very first class, teachers all called my kids by their names, impressing me that even though there were a lot of kids, they made an effort to personalize the lesson. My daughter (6) is shy and the first class surprised her in that the class was a little loud (kids are expected to shout "yes sir, no sir"). She was unsure of shouting like the other kids. My son (4) jumped right in and he was going full blast the entire class. There was always one teacher sticking by my kids to make sure they knew it was ok, and he showed them what to do. The teachers were all encouraging and complimented the kids appropriately. My daughter said today "I LOVE the martial arts classes. I like Master Nile. I practice at home just like Master Nile said to do. Tae Kwon Do is one of my favorite things to do. I can't wait to go back." My son said "I love punching and kicking." In addition to a giving my kids a great workout, I was hoping the classes would help my daughter's confidence and my son's ability to follow directions. Today, only after 3 classes, my daughter was shouting the loudest of all and my son was following the Master's instructions and staying focused. It's clear the teachers know how to work with kids. They are also very respectful when addressing parents. My kids are tired but happy at the end of the classes, and I'm very impressed. I've already recommended Mach Martial Arts to the parents of my kids' classmates. This place is a real gem! read more

0 stars if I could...Not kid oriented at all and employees at the front are mean spirited and unwelcoming! Go somewhere else, don't waste your time or money at this non family oriented establishment! read more

Attended this school for 7 years from 2006-2013 achieving a 2nd degree. I've seen this place change a lot, whether it's the different students I see and even physically the school got expanded making certain events like meditation camp a lot less cramped. It was a great experience and I have very fond memories of this place and what I've done. I do check up on the school through social media every once in awhile and it appears that most of my classmates I went up the ranks with have either surpassed me going into 3rd degree , my seniors getting 4th, or at least walked out with something they are proud of like I did. Thanks for the memories~ read more

I am very pleased with our experience at Mach Martial Arts in Fremont. I phoned sometime last week to inquire about classes for my 5 year old son and spoke with Master Nile. His friendly and courteous demeanor was very inviting as he answered all questions pertaining to the program they offer. In addition, I was very happy to hear that my son would be able to begin the Little Tigers class right away. We arrived about 15 minutes before the 6:15pm class to fill out registration and again were greeted in a very friendly manner. The forms were very straightforward and we were given a schedule for the month's classes. I am very happy that this school offers a month-long free trial period to ensure that you and your child want to continue with their program. Once the class began, Master Nile introduced and welcomed my son and another new member to the class. For the entire 30 minute session I was able to see how great this class was going to be for my son and our family. His smile said it all! I was amazed how easy it was for my son to catch on and follow the direction of the class. I highly recommend this place if you are considering Tae Kwon Do for your child. read more

Since we moved to Fremont from San Leandro, it had took some time before I enrolled my son back into TKD making sure we found the right class for him. Came across Mach Martial Arts driving passed it one day and checked it out with a free trial. After the first day my son knew he wanted to be part of their class. Lots of energy, the instructors are respected by the kids, and they have several instructors running the class for Beginners and Little Tigers which I thought was great. After several years, my son is thrilled to start his TKD journey and for the long run! read more

The previously experienced issue that drove us to leave this school has been resolved. Students going for their blackbelt can stay with their parents during the overnight trip and then join the group for the hike in Lake Tahoe in the morning. We are now back at Mach Martial Arts. The classes and instructors are still great and age appropriate. We highly recommend it. read more

This is a long overdue testimony, as my son had been coming here for over 2 years. This establishment is top notch in developing kids mentally, meanwhile injecting fun and enjoyment throughout the class. Right away I saw my son show discipline and focus in class, while having fun and always wanting to come back for the next class. I give credit to Master Nile and all the Assistant Instructors on how they run their program with enthusiasm. Even during the pandemic, they designed creative ways to keep their program running with a high level of engagement. If your kid is interested in martial arts, this is the place to go. read more

The best martial arts in Fremont. Team is great. They not only concentrate on taekwondo skills but also on overall mental and physical development of a child. My son is close to getting black belt. He has shown a tremondous improvement in himself be it mind, body and soul. Great sport for kids all ages. Even for adults who want to pursue taekwondo as a teaching medium. read more

This is one class that my 6 year old will never miss! The class is full of energy ...the 30 minutes is non-stop fun and learning. The instructors are very interactive, keep the kids focussed, discipline in a very friendly way, teach good values. It's not only about taekwondo forms, but also overall development of the student. I have seen my son's confidence grow leaps and bounds. His focus has also improved. Other activists like breaking competition, parents night out, skipping contest break the monotony and keep the students excited and eager. Master Nile is an awesome instructor. Kids love him! One thing tho, is that as the students advance in forms, they don't practice the older forms and hence forget. All in all .. I absolutely don't mind driving 40 minutes two way for 30 minute class. read more

My boys have been going to Mach Martial Arts for the last 6 years. Over the years, they've done many different activities like basketball, soccer, swimming, etc... But TKD is one that they have continued to do over the years. I think this is directly correlated with how the masters engage the student and make it fun at the same time. My boys have made a lot of friends at the school even with kids they don't go to school with. I would highly recommend Mach Martial for both boys and girls! read more

I was pleasantly surprised to see how good this Martial Arts program is. Starting with the amazing teachers this class really promotes confidence and respect to the kids. My daughter tried out the free 2 week trial and by the end of the first week I was ready to sign her up! read more

My son has been in the school over 5 years , he learned so much in the school and most Important is he enjoyed it . The masters not only have taught him the moves but also in manners too. It's not like we didn't teach him. He just has the environment to practice consistently every time when he gets into dojun. They remind him to respect parents , take care his sibling and pick up his own responsibility . Now, I'm sending my 6 year old girl to the school too. Highly recommend ! read more

I attended Mach for about 8 years and I achieved my first degree blackbelt in 2007. I could go on for hours about how the experience helped me develop not only martial art and self defense skills but also life skills that are still helping me to this day. I highly recommend exposing your kids to a form of martial arts for the physical and mental development they will learn from it. Give Mach a try. Master Sungwoo and Sungjin are nothing short of the best. read more
