The other tournament events she enthusiastically performed- rated as 5 star fun in camaraderie. Normally not talkative to me- she entailed in detail the nice senior females she met from other high schools, technical skills observed from black belt students, and energy vibe she loved. As a non helicopter parent who sits in the car to wait or drops and picks up the kids-- this one grew well when planted at Master Nam. Twice a week lessons in Tae Kwon Do, before tournament, Fridays were added. The child is now a green belt in a year and a half. The parking lot is small but accessible 3 ways from Riverside Dr. and Lakeshore Dr. Parents may sit along the wall and watch their child. I did not know this because my child told me I need to wait in the car. Sigh... that's okay-- looks like Master Nam handles his students with ease, firmness, integrity, discipline, and respect. I do not need to watch the class since I saw the results. The kiddo congratulated the winners, seemed happy for her losses as a learning opportunity for next time, and enjoyed the journey. We will see you Tuesday Thursday next week Master Nam! Payment plans available. Small discount if you pay the entire year. Call in advance if you can't make the class. Yayyyyy for Master Kyung Woo Nam

This review is long overdue, but it's one I've been meaning to write because Tempest Taekwondo has…read morebeen such a huge part of our lives. If you're a parent looking for a taekwondo school that truly helps kids grow -- not just in skill, but in confidence and character -- this is it. My son started when he was 5, and now at 7, he's a purple belt! Over the past year, he's gained so much strength, balance, and focus... every belt promotion feels like a proud-parent moment. He walks out of every class a little taller and a lot more confident. I actually stumbled on Tempest by accident -- I was walking past the dojang on my way to Redlands Barre (same building!) and saw one of my girlfriends and her son in the Wolf Cubs class. A week later, my son was signed up, and the rest is history! The Tempest team -- Master Terrence, Instructors Minh and Vi, and the rest of the instructors -- go above and beyond for these kids. Classes are fun, challenging, and full of energy. They know how to push the students while still making it feel encouraging and positive. What really makes Tempest special is how much it feels like a family. Instructor Minh is amazing at keeping both parents and kids involved -- she reads out the goals and notes we parents submit so the kids hear that encouragement directly. The team also gives out Taekwondo cards for things like Best Attitude, Courage, Skill, Citizenship, and even special editions for training camps or holidays. It's such a clever way to reward effort and gamify progress! And an unexpected bonus -- taekwondo has made my son a way better soccer player! Something about learning to kick with precision and discipline has carried over to the field. His coordination, balance, and agility have skyrocketed. I swear his soccer game has improved fiftyfold since joining Tempest! Earlier this month, the Tempest team competed in the Orange County Open Martial Arts Championship in Newport Beach, and it was incredible to see how far they've all come. Watching them perform their poomsae together, show power in speed kicks and punches, and beam with pride was pure joy. My son brought home gold, silver, and bronze, and he was so proud of himself -- we were extra extra extra proud of him! We've also made some wonderful friendships through Tempest. Ethan's had playdates and hangouts with fellow students, and we've connected with such great families over the past year and a half. When your kid loves where they learn -- and you love the community that comes with it -- that's something really special. And speaking of community, Tempest organized an awesome camping trip at Silverwood Lake earlier this year -- movie night, Easter egg hunt, campfires, the works. It was such a fun weekend bonding with other families and the instructors who make this place feel like home. Watching our son's journey -- from wobbly white-belt kicks to confident purple-belt poomsaes -- has been one of the most rewarding parts of parenthood. Tempest isn't just about martial arts... it's about confidence, community, and character...on the mat and off.

Tempest has a very inviting and friendly environment with supportive instructors, family members and students. They offer free trial classes so make sure to check them out. If you think you or your child can benefit from the physical and mental discipline it provides, take a chance and join! You won't regret it.

They go a bit beyond and promote citizenship and responsibility as well. I think the owner, master Ben really enjoys his craft and seeing kids grow into it. His level of patience is phenomenal. I'm not sure where his competition levels and accolades are at, but regardless his love and dedication for the sport are what's important. It took my eldest (now 6) almost 2 years to get promoted from white. I initially thought, wtf? They're trying to milk it. But I realized it wasn't that. He wasn't ready at the time (3yrs old) and it would've only held him back as he's progressing Thru the belts. He's now doing pretty well (could do better w more practice at home). My now 3yo was given his first belt pretty quickly and is seemingly lagging behind his brothers progression, but everything ought to come in due time. The one thing that astounds me is Master Ben knows each and every student by name. How he could memorize 100+ active students by name, and know their siblings/cousins as well only goes to show his level of dedication to his craft.
