I feel like he treats his younger students like his own, creating a positive, welcoming atmosphere. You can tell he really loves teaching and is so good with the kids as he makes it really fun for them. His warmth and friendliness extend to the parents as well, making everyone feel like part of his Taekwondo family. I think other parents who come here would agree with me too. I can't say enough good things about Master An and his studio! I drive several miles just to bring my son here even though we live next to a couple studios in town. I wouldn't go anywhere else - this studio is worth every mile! We highly recommend Master An and his studio to anyone looking for a Taekwondo class in North County.

I moved to the San Diego area and was looking to get back into Taekwondo. I had earned my red belt…read morewhen I was stationed in Korea 30 years ago and, being deployed all the time, I was just never able to take class again after I got back. I found Master An and he was so welcoming! 30 years older (58) and overweight with a lot of broken parts, he takes what you have left and works with you and your abilities. I am working my way back up to where I was, lost over 60 pounds and look forward to the next class because it is so fun here! We really are a family. There are complete families who attend here - mom, dad, kids and have been here for years. Even the kids who have gone off to school always come back here on their breaks to take class. Master An is a wonderful instructor. He is so perfect with the little ones! The kids really seem to enjoy their classes, and you can tell he has so much fun teaching them! This is not a huge school where you are a nobody. Since everyone is at a different level, he gives special attention to each person. Everyone here is very encouraging to each other. I highly recommend An's Taekwondo! He offers a free class so come in and see what I mean!

Master Jun does a great job of guiding the kids firmly but gently, pushing them just enough to help them overcome obstacles and my girls get the workout of their lives every class! There are skills that they learn (like a 10 point routine to earn their first white belt) and seeing the pride on my girls' faces when they got their white belt was so rewarding. When given the option, the girls chose Taekwondo over ballet this year. It's a great option for boys and girls alike to build confidence, learn important skill and values while getting their energy out! I would highly recommend.

The kumdo class is offered, but it's not beneficial at all, and no one attends.

It was also a great support system, since a lot of us were in high school and we would often times meet up during the weekends for tutoring/homework sessions. There were adults who would enroll their kids and then sign up for classes themselves to stay in shape and get involved, so the overall community was well-balanced and honestly, just great fun (: I think BBTKD is unlike any other "American" martial arts studio in the sense that they won't pass students simply because their parents can pay. They really push you to work hard, and discipline is everything. You can't expect to go in and drop some dimes to get a black belt. Overall, a GREAT experience. If you're serious about learning Tae Kwon Do, I highly recommend !

With the most recent relocation to San Diego, I was blessed to find Wang Ho. Master King and the other instructors a re clear masters of their craft. Depending on the class, the average student age can hover in the early teens to late 20s, which for a man in his 30s can be slightly intimidating when trying to acquire new skills. Master King and Master Daniel have never let me get away with trying to "fake it until I make it," but their positivity and clear guidance have never embarrassed me, either. I highly recommend for anyone new to their offered disciplines or, like me, is more interested in adding a few skills to their existing repertoire.

We are new to martial arts and so happy we found NCT! My daughter is 13 and has been coming here…read morefor 7 months. I see her getting much stronger, more flexible, and her posture improving. She comes twice a week to group lessons, which are any two weekday evenings at one of three times and last for 45 minutes. Each week you can change days and times as well, based on your availability. No scheduling. Just show up two days a week. Mon, Tues, Wed, and Fridays focus on stretching, cardio, forms, and kicks/punches mostly. Thursdays are group sparring days which she's ready to start as one of her two days a week. Currently, the 4:30 time is mostly the younger kids, 6pm teens with mix of young kids, and 7pm older teens and adults. It's not strictly those ages though. Adults and children of different ages can come at the same time. Belt testing is one Saturday each month, and you are invited to test when Master Ali thinks you are ready. Everyone will test on their color belt form and break boards. We are hoping, in time, coming here will help our child's self-confidence. Each class time you come in, you don't know what it will be like. Master Ali is always switching it up which makes it interesting and fun. He is tough on the kids but knows which kids to go easy on. There are some neurodivergent kids in the classes, and he is amazing with them! He's also super fun and funny so the kids love him. At the same time very strict. The kids really respect him. He also offers private lessons. Oh, and parents...you can either stay and watch or go shopping in the Nordahl shopping center :) Call them for a free trial!

She has no experience in martial arts so it's important for her to get good basics and foundation. Her first couple classes she's already learned a few things that will help her in the real world if a situation arises. The teachers David and his son as well as Sarai the female instructor are great. It's not so crowded like other classes I've attended so we get better personal attention from the instructors. They teach in both English and Spanish. There are also kids classes in the evenings at 530 every day that is strictly for kids only. The prices are very cheap compared to the US. Recommend this place to learn self defense if you live around the area or if you're staying at the hostel.
