Master Lee = Amazing. We chose this studio over two years ago and I have watched my kids grow in body, mind and Spirit (no pun intended). The staff here from Master Cyril in the older days through the current staff have been nothing short of great. They are delicate where they need to be and tough when needed. They very much specialize in children. The studio has built and maintains a community feeling. They have definitely served the youth of La Mirada and the surrounding community by teaching discipline, confidence and self defense. They even participate in local tournaments if you are ready and they echo that sentiment. The sport of Taekwondo is definitely a great introduction to martial arts that develops flexibility, strength and balance. I'm very appreciative to Taekwondo Spirit for what my children have learned through them. Humility seems to flow through this place with nothing but respect given by and to everyone. The only "negative" I could even consider about the location is that the parking lot could get tight in the afternoon hours with the neighboring gym.

I had tried another studio in Whittier who are through the Regional Center (Victory Tae Kwon Do) but unfortunately even free lessons through were not worth it in comparison to here. My son was trained by master Cyril for about 1 year before their lack of availability and our school schedule conflicted to the point of no longer being able to fit us in. The studio is small so understandable, just sad. I realize teaching autistic kids is not their specialty, but I had gone to one other local studio in La Habra that basically turned us away because they didn't want to do the hands on work it takes to teach a child that lacks imitation skills, while another in Fullerton was extremely overpriced and for only 15 minute sessions in addition to being too far. I hope to come back to this studio soon if they have the availability.

Master Yoo and Master Y are highly encouraging and really become the kids role models. As we are now nearing the end of colored belt programs. We have so many good memories.

Yes, it is a very serious environment as well, but in order to instruct children, there needs to be a connection between the instructors and the students. The balance that the 2 men have is perfection. I have always felt safe with my son learning new skills and knowing that he is learning from very knowledgeable instructors with many years of experience. Absolutely would recommend this place!! Pricing is fair, availability is good, and the openness with the instructors is great; open-door policy. The studio is always clean, organized, and presentable. There is no lingering "gym smell" to it, extremely clean. The slightest "complaint" I'd have isn't even with TEMA, it's the parking lot. But!.... get there early enough and you'll be fine.

I enrolled him in the Tae Kwon Do class, from the very begining he started taking classes with Master V. I saw my son transforming himself into a more secure, confident young man. My son was very shy and wasnt into team sports, at the time he was 7 years old. As I began to notice all of the positive changes, I too wanted to get envolved so I decided to tak the adults class. It was the best investment I've ever made. It gave me the confidence, self esteem and the best work out ever. I highly recommend you to check the studio out you will not be dissapointed. My son is now a 15 y.o and he is very respectful, confident and organize young man. I am sure that being part of the martial arts family allowed him to become the young man he is today.There's classes for all ages, and if Tae Kwon Do is not the one for you he has a diverse studio that also offers kick boxing, mixed martial arts too. Thank you Master V. for not only being a such a great teacher but you became a true friend. I can't thank you enough for all the times you sat my son down and gave him the pep talks and ecouraged him to be better each day.
