    For parents looking for Taekwondo studio, Tom Vo's Taekwondo is an amazing place! I have seen my girls' confidence grow and become physically stronger. Master Vo worked hard with my girls and recently earned their brown belt. Master Vo's instructors are fully committed to the students and will help them become the best that they can be.

    It's been an awesome experience. I feel like my daughter has been learning a lot of discipline. This is a great self defense program.

    We needed our daughter to have more productive time other than friends, social media , iPad usage. I out her into this with tremendous outcome to her behavior, her focus and discipline. The discipline is old school I which defines the proper way children should uphold a tenacious perspective of respective to others, themselves and their elders. We can only do so much at home; with this said, Yom Vos martial arts has accomplished this support system and help with out daughter's growth. I recommend this for all parents looking for great focus and discipline. Lastly, the staff here treat yoi very much with the utmost respect like family.​​

    My 6.5 year old daughter and 5 year old son have been coming here for more than 1.5 years. We've learned the importance of martial arts via Master Chris and his black belt staff. Ms Dafne is an amazing female role model for young girls, as she is an instructor as well. My wife and I really see the critical elements that integrity, courtesy, respect, perseverance, and self control can offer growing kids that will one day become adults. These are the tenants of Tae-Kwando being taught to our kids, and we are so thankful for all the love, effort, and special activities (nerf gun wars and move nights!), that the studio is providing for the kids to make it fun as well! We love all the instructors and staff at OC Martial Arts!

    OC Martial Arts and the team That Master Kris has developed to instruct the class is something i need to say excels beyond my expectations. My 7 year olds confidence in development the last 3 months is truly remarkable. I believe this place goes above and beyond what most martial arts studios do. During October they did a costume party/ December was a Holiday Snowball war / to setting up a Nerf War on select occasions. They staff along with Master Kris really offer a welcoming experience and genuinely have a passion to help anyone grow. I highly recommend this place for any child/ teenager / adult to keep yourself busy.

    We've been going here for about 6 months now with our daughters who are 6 & 7. They teach so much more than Taekwondo! They teach your child to live by the "Tenets of Taekwondo" courtesy, integrity, perseverance, respect & self control-in class and out! My kids love the classes they always get a great workout and feel good about themselves. For the first few weeks they got a little bored but once they pushed through and started to get good at the moves they couldn't get enough! Master Kris & Miss Daphne are great with the kids, they are so good at what they do and balance it well with teaching the kids! The parking lot is challenging getting in & out of, so give yourself a few extra minutes in case there's traffic. Very grateful to have found this studio & would not want to go anywhere else! :)

    Another great class with the wonderful staff and families at OC Martial Arts. My family and I love it

    Wonderful instructors and great families. A fun community I'm glad my child is a part of this positive environment. This is the best personal development program for kids it's more than just another sport. They are learning focus, discipline, self control, all while building confidence. I wish we started sooner!

    The best school for all ages! Such a great, fun and educational environment. Never too late or early to start training. Master Kris and his team of instructors are highly skilled and ready to help take your martial arts training to the next level in a fun way. I really enjoy the classes with my daughters.

    OC Martial Arts & Fitness has been a blessing during this pandemic. My daughter was starting to feel the negative effects of quarantine, so we thought we'd sign her up for some fun classes. She decided she wanted to "be a ninja," so we looked up some Taekwondo studios. OC Martial Arts was giving a free trial, and had virtual (zoom) classes. I called and Master Kris answered. He clearly has a passion for martial arts and it shows in his commitment to not only customer service and communication, but also in his thorough curriculum and home practice opportunities (for which they get stripes and raffle entries for). We decided to test it out. After just one class, my daughter had her spark back. We signed her up for Little Ninja's with Miss Daphne. Miss Daphne is a phenomenal instructor! I'm a credentialed teacher and have never seen such an energetic, engaging, and attentive teacher. My teacher heart is so happy every single class. On top of that, she sends personalized postcards (with the cutest drawings) to encourage the kids. I don't know how we got so lucky to stumble upon OC Martial Arts & Fitness, but watching my daughter grow not only in self defense, but also in responsibility, courtesy, integrity, self control, and perseverance has been incredible and worth every penny! Thank you OC Martial Arts & Fitness. :)

    My daughter was 6 when she began attending OC Martial Arts with Master Kris. We felt welcomed since day one. Master Kris and Ms Daphne really make the students feel at home. Everyone is very attentive and students seem to not only learn but also enjoy every second of their Taekwondo lessons.

    Miss Daphne

    This is a beautiful place full of wonderful instructors. Daphne is so patient with the toddlers, my son loves her and her class.

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.

After a ton of research, we decided to take a trial class at Legacy...and it completely exceeded our expectations! The Grand Master is incredibly hands-on and even teaches the toddler classes (Tiny Tigers), which truly sets this place apart. Every instructor is welcoming, highly skilled, and genuinely passionate. I love that they teach more than just martial arts...they emphasize discipline, safety awareness, confidence, and respect for elders. Every class is creative and different, so the kids never get bored, and it's actually fun to watch as a parent! My daughter comes out happy, tired, and excited to come back each time. She truly feels like part of a family here. We can't recommend Legacy enough!

They create a positive and disciplined environment where kids learn respect, perseverance, and confidence, all while having fun and staying active. If you're looking for a martial arts program that emphasizes not only technique but also character development and community, LEGACY is the place to be. Highly recommend!

    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!

    Master Lee is an amazing guide and teacher. My kids have grown in confidence, focus, and…read morediscipline, all while having fun. Highly recommend!
