    Fear does not exist in this Dojo.
    Lee S.

    About a year ago I brought my kids to the Lake Arrowhead location. Thought this would be a great way to turn them into gladiators. Well, I was right. My kids are badmotorscooters now....and getting more badmotorscooter-ish every week. We go Tuesday and Thursday without fail. The key to really turning the little bugger-eaters into deadly street fightin scrappers is dedication. Gotta show up consistently. Master Pablo will second this sentiment. He is big on respect and pulls no punches (get it?) with regard to disciplining them when needed and guiding them to "never fight to achieve selffish ends". Thats actually a mantra on the wall that's repeated in every class. What isn't on the wall (unfortunately) is "fear does not exist in this dojo". Master Pablo is dedicated to the cause and it shows. I couldn't be happier with his methods or the results. My Kids have gotten so much stronger and more confident. And watching them beat the crap out of each other on sparring day really tugs at my heartstrings. So proud. I genuinely feel sorry for the next poor schlub that tries to pick a fight with one of my kids. Gonna be a bloody mess. In the 1 years time of attending, both of my kids have gone from beginning white belts to orange (currently). Thats an advancement of 4 belts in the span of a year. Another great thing about this school is no participation trophies. Kinda hard to find that nowadays with all these limp-wristed soy-boys running things. At Victory you only get a trophy if you've earned it. Hells yeah! If you want your little bugger-eaters to be able to seriously dish out some beatdowns- give this place a whack. You won't be disappointed.

    Victory Tae Kwon Do USA was such a blessing to us! My boys grew and improved their technique and received their Black Belts under Master Pablo. We are so happy with our experience at Victory. We have now moved so are no longer at Victory, but miss the entire staff and community very much! Master Pablo is such a positive influence, you cannot go wrong at Victory Tae Kwon Do!

    I'm so glad I found this class! I wanted to find something my son could learn and do with other children, up on the mountain, and that fit into my work schedule. Master Pablo's dedication and commitment to the Korean Martial Arts is amazing he is dedicated to his students and what he teaches. As a bonus I've seen a huge improvement in my sons shyness and confidence.

    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.

    This review is long overdue. Our son has been going to Tempest for 20 months now and we've seen…read moresuch exponential growth. He started at 4 y/o and just recently moved to intermediate level. Words are not enough to describe the experiences he's had in the last year, but suffice to say that we are extremely happy with the skills he's learned. Master Terrence and all the instructors (especially Alejandro and Lauren) are amazing. Instructors Minh and Vi are friendly and welcoming.The junior instructors are extremely helpful. 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.
