We transferred here after having spent a few years elsewhere. We weren't happy at our previous…read moremartial arts from Team Kwon because the grand master was unprofessional, arrogant, lacks integrity, and VERY financial driven particularly with long term contract! Not to mention our kids became bored and not motivated due to the fact, the grand master likes to yell/scold at students even though, he doesn't really teach. Master Kim is the opposite of everything we've experienced. He's passionate, dedicated, professional, funny, down to earth, and caring/sensitive to other people's need. Overall, he's a man of integrity. There's no rigid contract. He focuses on quality, fun, and well-rounded students. We'll be around here at Southern CA tkd academy as long as our kids want to keep going. Update: 7-13-2019 Our kids all accomplished their goal and it's been a long journey, yet we still feel fond of Master Kim. Nothing has changed. Again, not only he's a wonderful instructor, but most importantly a true role model for instilling character values.

There were lots of fun activities and games throughout the week, and she enjoyed going every day. After the camp, she told us she wanted to learn Taekwondo, so she tried a class and decided to sign up. She is currently a white belt and really enjoys her 45-minute classes. She gets a great workout while learning the basics of Taekwondo, including kicks and hand techniques. I especially like that the classes teach kids more than just physical skills. They also learn respect, discipline, and how to challenge themselves as they work toward the next belt level. We really appreciate the instructors for making the classes fun, energetic, and encouraging. We're very happy with our experience at Team Kwon and look forward to seeing our daughter continue to learn and grow!

Master Oh personally teaches and guides the kids, and his commitment to their progress is clear. We really appreciate seeing him actively involved in their instruction. He also provides a clear path for students to grow, with opportunities to compete in tournaments and participate in different Taekwondo teams. His dedication goes beyond daily classes, he helps students see what they can work toward and achieve. Master Oh is an excellent instructor, and we highly recommend Oh's Taekwondo to any family looking for a great school!

Being a mom of an energetic boy, I had trouble finding a studio in Orange County that can teach my son the discipline of martial arts while inspiring him through his love of the sport. Scholar Athlete Black Belt Center is a dream come true! I can't believe it took us so long (we discovered it through a birthday party that was hosted there). My son loves Master Lee and Tae Kwon Do! We're so excited to see his focus and concentration improve through the many sweaty sessions at the center. He's made great friends and learned to respect others as he'd want to be respected. Thank you, Master Lee!

We love Master Lee and Master Jo!…read more We were looking for a TKD class and a friend from baseball/ school told us about Scholar Athlete. I was bummed bc their original location was literally 2 mins from our house but we decided to check them out anyway. I called and spoke with Master Jo. I told him we had 3 boys (friends) that were interested in trying. He told me about the amazing deal they were having in May ($50 for the month or 8 classes) The 3 boys started together and have been having a blast since. In the beginning, it's always overwhelming especially for 5 yr olds to walk in, as everyone else seems to know what they're doing and everyone is speaking Korean! But Master Lee and Master Jo ensured that ALL the new members had some focus time, felt welcomed, felt supported, and encouraged. About midway through our trial month the kids tested for their white belts, and the official membership was discussed. This part of the process is a bit strange -- They don't advertise their membership prices/ options. Only master Lee discusses this with you in his office. You can't write anything down or take a picture. Why that is? I don't know. But the pricing is very reasonable compared to other TKD places and karate places we had spoken to previously. You have the option to choose between 2 classes a week or 3. We started off with 2 but ended up switching to 3 because I wanted my kid to have more practice and retention esp in the beginning. Not only are they teaching TKD basics, there's so many more principals that are taught. Listening, respect, focus, and confidence. Discipline of course. The studio/ dojo itself is very minimal. It's not a big fancy place. It's in a strip mall that I normally wouldn't go to, but none of that really matters bc of the actual teachings and learnings. Now, we've also witnessed Master Lee disciplining some of his more senior students - and I'm not sure if I agree with the style in which he does that. I'm not to judge bc maybe that works, that's why he has so many great students - but I do wish that he didn't do it in front of the younger kids? It's weird. He equally belittles the older students (like his protoge's) but he's so encouraging and supportive of the students too. lol it's interesting to witness but just something to note. Oh yes the only real concern I would flag is that -- I wish they would CLEAN THE DAMN MATS. Our kid leaves with black feet every time and it's gross esp when they do stretches and puts their face down on it (I've literally told my kid to never ever put his face on it) Anyways we love it here!

She has leveled up 4 belt colors and exudes confidence! She makes her bed everyday and responds in a respective manner.

I love that there are several family/kids sessions throughout the week to choose from (especially if we miss our routine class, we can select another day to make it up). As an added bonus, you can even purchase healthy smoothies and shakes for an energizing boost! We love Thrive 7 and highly recommend for kids and adults of all ages!

The first class my daughter was feeling a little shy and Master Thomas and Master Jason did such a good job of giving her space but also encouraging her to join. They let me come and sit on the mat until she felt comfortable. Master Jason was so engaging during class and really helped bring my daughter out of her shell. Each class has been very well organized with clear instruction and individual attention. The instructors do a great job at helping to keep the kids attention and focus while also making the class fun and silly at times. The entire studio is very clean including the bathrooms, which is always a plus. The seating are for family members to watch is nice and the studio has great AC for those hot summer days.

You can feel how much you care, and it's beautiful to watch the confidence you help build in them over time. One of my favorite things every time I walk through the doors is seeing the kids so excited to go up to the instructors just to talk about their day, talk about something they did, or share a story. That kind of excitement and openness says so much about the trust and connection they feel with all of you. Thank you for creating such a caring and encouraging environment for these kids.

The children love his classes and activities as he keeps them engaged and having fun, while learning not only the physical aspects of TKD, but the tenants as well. Adult classes are challenging, great workouts, and the instructors focus on the individual - everything I look for. I have been training here for over 6 years, and monthly prices have never increased, no extra testing fees for colored belts, and you get everything you need for the monthly price including uniform and all belts up to recommended black.
