    Although I'm currently a student here myself, I often think about the experience through a parent's…read moreeyes--and USTT is exactly the kind of place I would feel confident bringing my child to. Master Sung is an extraordinary instructor. He teaches with a deep sense of respect--offering it first, not demanding it--and it creates an atmosphere where discipline feels meaningful and uplifting rather than intimidating. He carries himself as though it's an honor for him to teach you, and that attitude naturally inspires students to give their best. Before my class, I regularly see him working with the younger children. His patience is consistent and genuinely admirable. He is fully present, correcting form, encouraging effort, and managing different skill levels at the same time with ease. Every student gets attention, and every child is treated with care and dignity. Each adult class is unique, thoughtfully structured, and creatively taught. Master Sung keeps us engaged, challenged, and progressing while still making the learning experience fun. The black belts who help run his classes share the same respectful, supportive spirit--they treat helping you as an honor, and you can feel that sincerity. I've truly enjoyed my time at USTT. If you're a parent looking for a school where your child will be guided with patience, respect, structure, and authentic martial arts values, USTT is exceptional. And as an adult student, I can say the teaching is every bit as inspiring.

My child is mentally strong and physically strong do to USTT's training. Master Sung has helped guide my child to be technical when it comes to sparring. Master Sung comprehends all development in children come in different forms and has patience for the students who need more time. Also, for the students who are quick at developing Taekwondo standards, those students are tested at a high level and are expected to maintain that level. Master Sung is well known in the Taekwondo community here in the US and he is Kukkiwon (Taekwondo governing body and Olympic standards) certified from the headquarters of South Korea. My daughter has excelled in her fighting and is immensely successful in tournaments in California because of Master Sung and his program. I've seen other students at other taekwondo dojang here in the valley and the quality from La Quinta USTT is above reproach.

    In martial arts, mutual respect and trust are foundational. When that breaks down, nothing else…read morematters. I have about 6 years of prior martial arts training, so I know what a properly run school looks like. That's why I recognized very quickly that something was off here. I signed up and prepaid for a 3-month Kendo program. At enrollment, I was told it would be 4-6 months before needing a uniform and longer before investing in gear. That changed almost immediately. By week two, I was told to buy a uniform, and by week three I was asked to prepay for a full year. At that point, I stopped training after about three weeks. Months later, after repeated follow-ups and having to go in person to push the issue, I finally got the uniform ordered. When it arrived, I was told it had been given to someone else--even though I had already paid for it. I was also told I would receive a partial refund in March. That never happened. I returned once more to try to finish what I had already paid for, but the class itself reflected the same issues--disorganized instruction, students unsure of forms, and basic oversights (such as forgetting required gear mid-class). I walked out. For me, this wasn't just about money--it was the consistent gap between what was said and what actually happened, along with ongoing pressure to pay more early on. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this dojo. I would strongly advise anyone considering training here to ask very direct questions up front and think carefully before committing financially.

    Love this place! My daughter loves coming to class, environment is safe and friendly.read more
