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! read more

Tom Vo's Taekwondo - Karate Near Me - Orange, California

My son loves all the instructors at Tom Vo's Taekwondo and has really grown so much in his confidence! We took a break from taekwondo when the transition to Tom Von occurred and I was worried about how my son would do with the transition. Tom Vo and his team has done a great job in welcoming my son back from taking our break. He enjoys coming to class and looks forward to seeing his instructors. I love that all of the students' items are personalized because it helps the instructors call each student by their names :) thank you Tom Vo and all the instructors for all creating a very welcoming and safe atmosphere for all the kids and adults alike! read more

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. read more

I am thrilled to write this review for the owners and staff of OC Martial Arts. My 10 yo son has been a student for the past 4 months and he absolutely loves coming to the studio! I have seen significant improvement in his self confidence, physical agility, and overall coordination since he started taking lessons. Master Kris, Master Elliot, Master Andrew, and Master Robert are all outstanding teachers and really foster each students' growth. The effort that goes into planning each class is evident by the rapid skills growth that my son, but really all students, have gained. The studio also offers a birthday party special and it is truly red carpet service! My son chose to have the self defense lesson followed by a nerf gun battle. Masters Kris and Elliot played along and joined 20 wild kids for over an hour on the mat in the nerf battle and they didn't even break a sweat!! I on the other hand had to refuel with pizza and water about 30 min in . Ms Michelle orchestrated the pizza delivery and cupcakes for my son's party & they even accommodated our request to come early to set up decorations so my husband and I didn't miss any of the self defense lesson or nerf war. They were super response to all of our questions and consistently go the extra mile. I think what makes OC Martial Arts different is the community that they foster. They encourage parents to get out on the mat & take lessons with their kids. They have seating available during classes for parents to watch and connect with one another. And Master Kris and Ms Michelle look for opportunities to bring everyone together - whether it's a summer bbq and water fight at the park or treats and an indoor snowball fight to celebrate the holidays, this studio will teach your child to train hard, never quit, and to always make room for fun! read more

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! :) read more

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. :) read more

Ms Daphne has gone above and beyond expectations (and I have high expectations lol)! We tried another martial arts place and it wasn't really geared towards young children, which is what we were looking for. This class has 3-5 year olds together, whereas the other studio has 4 - 14 year olds. Needless to say, the pace and the class just wasn't right for us. Our 4 yr old son loves martial arts, but he was quite shy and didn't want to participate at first. Ms Daphne went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. By the end of the lesson he was having a blast! Although, he got over some of his fears he burst into tears the second lesson (again he can be very shy), but Ms Daphne was able able to put him at ease with his dad's help. I love how she never gave up on our son, she let a parent participate to get our son acclimated to the environment, and even mailed us a card directly to our son with words of encouragement and a cool drawing of our son! She has been great with follow-up and the classes focus on both physical and mental strength. Definitely some great teachings and also how to handle situations with strangers. I can't say enough great things about this place, the instructors, and especially Ms Daphne! read more

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. read more

Tom Vo's Taekwondo - Karate Near Me - Orange, California

We have lived in orange now for a little over two years and had not heard of this place. My six-year-old son always asked to start karate but I was not sure if he would like it, or if it would be affordable. After doing the two week free trial at OC martial arts my son and I completely fell in love with this place. It has taught my son so many life skills and he enjoys coming to a loving environment of people who he enjoys to be around. It is also great because he is hyper active and this place really helps level him out. If you're thinking of signing your children or even yourself up for martial arts I highly recommend this place. It is for all ages and it has a very flexible schedule. read more

My daughter is 4 and absolutely loves going to OC Martial Arts. Whenever we leave, she asks when we are going back. They give "homework" sheets for tasks to do at home like healthy eating, reading, and doing things without having to be asked. My daughter will now do things like open the door for me when my hands are full and then remind me to write it down on her paper. My 2 year old is following suit and also loves going to watch the class. The staff is great and the programming is instilling so many great qualities! read more

My grandson had lessons when he was at Montessori preschool. Ms Daphne was most certainly the best instructor. Due to her great way of teaching Taekwondo my Grandson has asked me to enroll him at the studio to continue to learn the art of Taekwondo. read more

My son has been going to OC Martial Arts for 5 months now and he loves it. Master Kris, Miss Daphne and Mister Elliot are great with the kids. They are very patient and helpful with teaching the techniques. The other black belts are great too. They also follow CDC guidelines. The kids and instructors wear masks during class. They make the classes fun while also learning. It's not just taekwondo, they also do fun activities like obstacles courses, have movie nights, and water gun wars. Fun times! read more

My kids love it! They learn self-defense and they can kick so hard it actually hurts. They give you a free two weeks to try it out so you don't have to pay for the whole year without knowing if you like it. I gave them five stars for their best training, it's fun day of games they have fun days like pajama day and obstacle courses. I love watching them kicking in sparring. They're going to be taught good manners because they can't advance to the next belt without being nice to their siblings and adults. read more
