My son seemed to enjoy it but did not partake like the others since he was tired. There was no wiggle room on time since we were in the trial phase. Price is $200 a month with a 6 month commitment with initiation fee, $230 if you want to go month to month. Since it seemed like our kiddo wasn't quite into it yet and maybe too young, we didn't sign up. I will say though, the establishment is clean. The instructors are attentive and it really requires discipline for the kids. We would consider trying again at a later time but the price tag just seems too high.

I love what IL-DO has done for my grandson. It has been a very positive experience for him. His…read moreconfidence, focus, and his coordination have all improved. He started as a 4-yo and will be turning 6 in a couple months. What he is learning through IL-DO Taekwondo are not just benefiting him at home, school or in his other sports, but in his overall development. He is learning more than Taekwondo, he is learning to be a good human. To date, we have recommended IL-DO to 5 of his friends at school and from his baseball team. All have joined and seem to be enjoying and growing with the program. I recommend you give your son or daughter a chance to experience this program and take the introductory class and see it for yourself.

We have had a wonderful experience with Elite Fitness Taekwondo in Irvine. My daughter started here…read morewhen she was about 4 years old, and she is now 7. Over the past few years, we have seen tremendous growth in her confidence, discipline, and perseverance. In the beginning, she wasn't very interested, and there was a point when she even wanted to quit because the forms were becoming more challenging. I spoke with Master Choi about it, and he was incredibly supportive. The instructors slowed down the form practice to help her better follow along. With patience, encouragement, and consistent practice, she eventually mastered it -- and that moment was incredibly meaningful for her. Now, my daughter proactively practices her forms on her own, and Taekwondo has become part of her daily life. Through Taekwondo, she has learned not only physical skills, but also important life values: never giving up, respect, discipline, and self-control. Master Choi, Master Tracy, and all the black belt instructors consistently reinforce these lessons. They are firm when needed, but always kind and encouraging. You can genuinely see that they care about each child's growth. What I appreciate most is seeing the kids truly enjoy the classes while learning in a positive environment. We are very grateful to be part of ILDO TKD and highly recommend Elite Fitness Taekwondo to other families.

I love her confidence when she's talking to older kids and knows to speak up for herself. This is the place for you to bring your little girls. There is a good mix of boys and girls in their classes and there are female instructors as well in particular Instructor Mia who is phenomenal. Reasonably priced and the progression of color belts through frequent tests keep the kids engaged. I believe there is a free 7 day trial so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I signed up for groupon trial class for my 8 y/o child in this martial arts studio, hoping it would…read morebe a positive and enriching experience. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. It quickly became evident that the owners and instructors prioritize profit over the well-being and development of the kids. The Asian manager at the time, knowing that I will not continue with class refuse to give my son a little sticker at the end of his trial test, saying that he did not qualified, when all 10 other kids got a stick for their belt. It was clear that the instructors were more concerned about filling their classes and collecting fees than actually teaching the kids valuable skills or fostering a love for martial arts. He was cold blooded and didn't give in after my wife complained about it, people like that should NOT be around kids! It felt less like a nurturing environment for kids and more like a money-making machine. I expected a supportive community where children could learn and grow, but instead, I found an atmosphere driven by profits. If you care about your child's development and well-being, I would recommend looking elsewhere for a martial arts studio.

Regulus Taekwondo is outstanding…read more The masters are truly exceptional--patient, thoughtful, and deeply invested in every child's growth. Our son initially struggled with joining classes, but Master Yoon and Master Kim, who work most closely with the Cubs, were incredibly attentive and intentional with him. They notice every student, meet each child where they are, and provide individualized guidance that makes a real difference. Just 7 months later, our son earned his yellow belt, which speaks volumes. All three masters are incredibly dedicated, and the leaders are impressive young men and women--clearly well trained, confident, and excellent role models. The vibe is welcoming, positive, and professional. We drive nearly 40 minutes to get to these sessions and are genuinely happy to do it--we can't imagine going anywhere else. This isn't just taekwondo; The skills taught here are lifelong, and Regulus is simply exceptional.

They both said after the first month that they were determined to get their black belts. Since that time they have achieved their black belt with red stripe (their 12th belt) and will test for their full black belts in 2 months. Master Lee has a very nice teaching method and instills lots of great values into the teaching including discipline, self control and respect for siblings and parents. Master Kim and Instructor Reyes are both great with kids and provide the perfect blend of toughness and gentleness to keep them motivated. I've noticed increasing confidence in my son and daughter and attribute a lot of their development to the positive influence of the instructors and the mastery they've achieved in taekwondo. What's more is that Master Kim believes in giving back to the community and has had master/student demo teams participate the last few years in a cultural/charitable event that I help chair. I really can't recommend the team at Talium highly enough.
