I visited Hosanna TKD as an adult and earned my blackbelt at 25, so my perspective may be a little…read moredifferent. Master Park is a very caring instructor, and I like that he instills a small amount of both Korean culture (of which Taekwondo is founded on) while encouraging students to work hard and disciplining students when instructions are not followed. The class sizes are fairly small so every student can get personalized attention. When the classes are larger (5+) groups, his wife who is also a black belt also comes to help out. There are belt tests every two months, so students are always encouraged to work hard so that they can rank up. Being an adult, one could imagine that I could have paid my way towards a black belt at any other locations, but that was not the case here. I appreciated that Master Park still held me to the standards of any other students, and that was no joke when it came to flexibility and forms. While forms are often easier to master through repetition, splits were a much more challenging skill, and by the end of two years of training, I finally achieved 2/3 of my splits, with the last one being only about 5 inches off the ground. In addition to TKD and its benefits, Master Park also tries to incorporate other martial arts styles such as boxing and supplements a primarily lower-body style of martial arts with upper-body techniques as well. While COVID made it harder to be involved, I wanted to help support the family business through private lessons. While at the time Master Park had no time for private lessons, I am glad to hear that they now have more students, and it is also nice to see that he has hired some of the black belts as instructors at his studio.

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

I agree with every positive thing in all the previous reviews, so I won't spend time repeating what…read morehas already been written. I will share the unique thing that earned them my 5 star review. My son started at Tempest when he was 6 years old. The class he attended had children as young as 4. And you can imagine how intimidating a martial arts class can be for kids that young. One thing I noticed was that when a child came to class either reluctant to participate, or if they were having a hard time and wanted to sit out, they would all run back to their parent and bury their heads and cry. That's nothing new, children of toddlers are very familiar with that type of behavior. But what struck me was Terrance would quietly leave the class for one of the other instructors to handle, and he would walk over and have a seat next to the parent and child. He would lower his head, maybe put a hand on the back of the child, and he would ask what was the matter. After a few moments, he would gently talk to the child, give them words of encouragement, and once he got confirmation from them, would either lead them by the hand, or sometimes even carry them back to the mat, and get them participating again. I've seen him do that, often with the same child multiple times on different days, until they built up the confidence to be successful in his class. To me, to have that kind of patience and gentleness of character, especially for children who aren't your own, speaks volumes.

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.
