My son has been going to the Cypress location and it's been an amazing experience. The owner Tom is always available and responsive to all my questions and is very kind. The instructors are patient and engaging with the kids. They know when to teach the kids, let them have fun, and give them tough love at the same time. My son's confidence has grown so much since taking classes here. He isn't shy at school when they ask him to speak bc the instructors at Tom Vo constantly teach the kids to be confident and strong leaders. My son lets his little sister do things first because Tom Vo classes teaches the importance of the gentlemen letting the ladies go first. If you want to put your kids on the path of being good humans at a young age Tom Vo classes are definitely the way to go read more

This has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. Our little one started in the Tom Vo Tae Kwon Do program at just three years old and has continued to grow within it. He is now a candidate belt, training for his black belt. Hands down, Tom Vo's program is the most effective, reliable, consistent, and challenging among the dojos I've heard about from other parents. Simply put, Tom Vo's program is incomparable. ALL the masters, leadership are amazing! They exemplify what you would want to see in a leader and a mentor! The kids are introduced to the program in a way that allows them to level up as they take on increasingly challenging activities. The gradual progression is truly something to witness and be a part of. One of the greatest benefits of this program is that kids and parents alike can see different levels of skills to aspire to. The philosophy of "training makes perfect" and pushing through challenges is a valuable lesson that is constantly reinforced. That said, these benefits don't come easy--just like anything worthwhile in life. It takes hard work, discipline, and consistency. There is a commitment required from the students and guidance expected from the parents. We are truly grateful for the dedication and effort the masters put into working with the students. I love seeing my little one grow and take ownership of both the small and big things in life. The experiences that our little one goes through in this program such as tournament, belt testing, intense black belt camp, leading warm-up in class and everyday interactions with other kids in different walks of life are opportunities to have unique and valuable conversations that no other environment can offer. Tom Vo Tae Kwon Do gives these kids a better chance and a greater opportunity to succeed in life. read more

Tom Vo's Taekwondo Academy - Taekwondo Near Me - Cypress, California

Enrolling our son in this Taekwondo program has been one of the best decisions we've made for him. He's been absolutely thriving not only is he having fun, but he's also learning valuable life skills like discipline, respect, and confidence. The positive changes we've seen in him are truly amazing. We toured several martial arts schools in the area before choosing this one, and we're so glad we did. Master Tom and the entire team are exceptional skilled, patient, encouraging, and genuinely kind. You can tell they really care about each student's growth. Another huge plus is the class schedule ,they offer a wide range of hours, which works perfectly for our family's availability. The facility is clean, organized, and welcoming, and there's a real sense of community among the students and families. read more

I contacted Tom Vo's academy in hopes to enroll my son (just turned 4 yrs old) in their taekwondo class. We are brand new to the taekwondo world. I had no background on what to expect or anything. We decided to do a trial run for a 4pm class. Upon arrival, we checked in at the office. I could tell that my son was already nervous. Walking in, there were a lot of different ages of students that were in attendance in the class. I was not expecting this. I thought it would be more so in my son's age range. I thought this was the reason Jordan asked me my son's age prior to starting the class. Right at the beginning of class, my son was crying. The instructor, Andy, was very patient with him, but was gesturing him to be quiet by putting his finger on his lips "shushing" him. He gave him a sticker and that helped stopped him from crying. And then he was following along with what everyone else was doing, (I.e., punching, sparing stance, jumping jacks, running, duck walks, crab crawls, and galloping/switching sides, etc.) I felt as though my son was opening up and starting to relax a bit (he gave me a thumbs up while running past me), but could tell he was still very nervous. When they were excused, my son came to me to get some water. He drank and cooled down, but looked up at me and started to cry again. I assure him that he was okay, everyone here is learning. But he told me he wanted to go home now. I could tell he felt intimidated and very out of place. I think this had a lot to do with the different age range of students in one class. Again, I wasn't aware of prior to starting. I really wish I knew this because that would've changed my decision in starting. We waited it out an extra 2-3 mins. Andy, came up to us and asked my son if he was ready to join, but my son was pretty adamant in wanting to leave. Andy then told me that my son wasn't ready; that he was too attached to me and to come back again in 6 months. So, we decided to leave. I know my son was capable in participating in the class. He did very well during their warm up. He was able to stay in his one spot. He followed directions. He followed his peers. At the same time, I feel the atmosphere of the different age group of students played a major factor in him feeling very out of place and uncomfortable. Later in the evening I asked my son if he wanted to go to class again in the future. He said no. And that he was scared. I asked why? And he said he was scared of the big boys in the class. I am very disappointed in our experience at Tom Vo's Academy. I feel as though I discouraged my son because I enrolled him in a class that I wasn't aware would be out of his age range. I'm concerned how I'll be able to enroll him in any future taekwondo classes because of our experience today. It's very unfortunate, because I see all these good reviews. I just wish that was our experience. read more

Our friend recommended Tom Vo and our daughter liked it as soon as she started on her first day. We live in Anaheim and the school is 10-15min away from us and we were thinking of transferring her to a taekwondo class that's closer to our place. But she loves her masters in this location and in westminster location too so we kept her here and seeing her improvement is really worth the drive. She's definitely very fond of her masters because she learns a lot from them and we definitely see the results. Most of her masters are skilled high school or college black belters, they are strict but funny and playful at the same time. Our daughter is 7yrs old and her lessons from them are very repetitive in the but we saw how she develops her skills. Her kicking and punching is way better, and even the exercises they do during warm up helps a lot with her physical growth and knowledge. We're busy parents and having someone to teach her this stuff is a huge help. She learns a lot about discipline and we can definitely see this character from her masters and older kids with higher belts and has been with them for a while. They do their best to accomodate everyone in all their classes. Even though there are some kids with higher belts, the kids with lower belts still get trained very well. This also helps our daughter see what higher belt holders do and she strives to work harder to be in that position too. read more

Tom Vo's Taekwondo has been life changing for my son. He was the shy boy in the back of the class sitting comfortably quiet. Now he is volunteering to warm up classes and wants to work towards a Master level belt. With this new goal, I knew we would need to step up his training and looked into private lessons to fine tune his technique. Master Juan has been an amazing teacher and mentor. Master Juan gave personalized, invaluable one-on-one advice. Master Juan is a patient teacher who understands how to connect with a young and energetic student. Master Juan shared simple pivots that my son can do to improve his technique, speed, agility and power. Master Juan has also become a mentor by teaching strategies to learn from failures and offering encouragement to build up my son's confidence. Through these private lessons, My son's form has improved and his confidence has grown. We are grateful to Master Juan for sharing his knowledge and his continued support. read more

Tom Vo's Taekwondo Academy - Belt testing - Taekwondo Near Me - Cypress, California

Taekwondo is not a cheap sport. It's not easy either, both for the parents and the students. It takes a deep sense of commitment and most especially, TRUST in the school, the process, and its staff. Our little one, Enzo, is 8 yr old now and has just earned his 1st Dan Black Belt. It's not just a piece of ornament for bragging; it's a rock solid accomplishment at such an early age. What's good to note as well is that he's having fun and making friends while learning - this is very important! From 4 yrs old all the way to present, it's non-stop training, testing, tournaments, and everything else in between. From 4 yrs old all the way to present, we remained at and will always be supportive of TVT Academy as it is supportive of us. This school is steadfast in its goal to create leaders who are not only excellent in this martial art but also as respectful, disciplined, and confident individuals. This is a goal that we share with the school as parents. We are a very meticulous family and are proud to say that we are a Taekwondo family. And our school is TVT Academy. read more

Tom Vo Taekwondo school has been great. My son Neo started at 5 years old. Now 9 and soon to be 2nd Degree Black Belt. We came from another Martial Arts School called Candals Matial Arts Jui Jitsu, it was pretty bad there. Lazy Instructors, mediocre training excercises with no clue how to work with kids. We left Candals School to try TVT, my son didnt like Taekwondo at first, going almost daily, all the physical excercises and instructions were hard and confusing. Yet I pushed him through it because I saw the value being taught to him in the many lessons & activities. The masters were patient, understanding but also tough when he goofed off or wasnt paying attention. Eventually my son started understanding the tvt program, building confidence, making new friends and soon winning tournaments. Then he was all about Taekwondo. Loved going to classes, practiced at home on his own and was always excited learning new Moves! It may seem hard, mean or military like for 1st time kids & parents that join but believe me, there is a process, a plan and a goal. It gets easier with time and what they teach here you wont find at most martial arts schools. You can try other places but you will be wasting alot of time & money. read more

I recommend this taekwondo academy!!!!! read more

I had a pleasure of finding this school through a referal from a friend to the Stanton location with Master Billy Phan. He was an amazing master and took care of the kids. My son would go almost every day since their program allows the kids to go throughout the week for the same price. Most school would only allow you to go certain time and day. TVT allows you to go to all the days within the belt level. He enjoy all the time he would train with his new friends. TVT has taught my son alot of life skills like you need to put in effort and work to achieve your goals. Like you cant just show up to class and pass to the next belt. You have to remember your forms and principles. They also teaches the kids to help around the house for them to get achievement stripes. They need to compete in the tournaments to move on to the next level. These tournaments are not like participation tournaments, they compete and there are winners and losers. This allow the kids to understand that in life you just cant just participate or that you are always the best. If you work hard and practice harder, you can be the best. They teach you how not to bully and also how to defend against bullies. TVT put alot of effort and time in putting the best tournament for all the kids. I see what they go through in securing the place, ticketing, and how to match the kids together on different events. As your child move along the path of leveling up, you will see how much they will evolve into a better more discipline child. They are more confident when speaking to a group of people. They can also lead a group of kids in training. TVT give their black belt student a chance to participate in teaching classes. This allow these kids to be understand how to mentor younger or new students. Overall, TVT surely help my child become a more confident child and is ready for the outside world. He has learned respect , charity, empathy , and understanding of others. He will be confident when speaking and leading. read more

I had both my girls in this class and they looked forward to coming the three times a week. It's way more then taekwondo it help bring our discipline and confidence.

My son attended summer camp and he really enjoyed it. they make it super convenient for us busy working parents. i was able to drop off my kids in Cypress and the team pick him up and takes them to the Fountain valley location to do activities and have different sports each week. After that they have an hour of training once they return to the Cypress location. Every Friday we have a choice to go to a field trip ( Skyzone, roller skating, boomers, john incredibles, bowling, ice skating) i wish i had this option when my parents were working. Masters are nice and helpful and Tom Vo super cool when we first signed up to the camp. read more

They are doing class on mats in parking lot but they have safety cones for visibility ;) All around great school! read more

So far so good. We have been looking around for a taekwondo place close to home and so happy we choose Stanton location. Master B and Master Cruz are both amazing masters. Our son was suffering from self-confidence and unfortunately bullying in school. We wanted him to learn how to stick up for himself and if needed how to defend himself. When we walked in master b right away shock our hands and greeted us at the door. He brought us to the room and explained all the options. The first day our son got a private lesson and then the next day he joined the class. It was hard at first to conceive him because he is extra shy BUT let me tell you it's only been 1 month and oh my we have seen such a positive change. Even when I walk outside at night, he tells me, I'll walk you mom I can protect you now (So sweet). His confidence level went from 2 to 6 now. Which is great because it's only been 1 month. We decided to sign up to black belt club because we loved the class, master b, master Cruz and all of the instructors. We are confident our son will be a black belt by 3 years; hopefully sooner. Either way we will be proud parents. I definitely recommend Tom Vo Stanton. Come by and check it out. read more

My daughter started training here until we moved but I couldn't recommend them enough! Master Vo is absolutely wonderful and he genuinely cares to see his students improve!

They teach them about black belt excellence and that is something my daughter still lives by as she continues to train and further her martial arts journey!

I have known about Tom Vo's Taekwondo for years now, since two of my cousins received black belts from Grand Master Tom Vo. TVT is most considerate when it comes to helping our community. They volunteer their time and donate resources to the local elementary schools. Once or twice, I was surprised to see the TVT staff hosting the annual "Jog-a-Thon" at my little brothers elementary school! My cousins have directly benefited from this program, and many other children in our community have too. Based on TVT's dedication to giving back to the community, I have no doubt that they will only continue to instill positive values on all of their students. I definitely recommend anyone interested in martial arts to check out their program!! read more
