    My son, Jeremiah, has gained so much from Master Park's teachings so far. We decided to give Taekwondo a chance June 2021 because a year into quarantine during the pandemic was starting to take a toll on my son's mental and physical health. I worked near the old studio for many years and would drive by it everyday. While choosing this particular Taekwondo school was borne out of convenience, I'm so happy with our choice. Master Park and all of his instructors Kaia, Luis, and the others are so good with the children. You can see how much they respect and look up to them. My son has gained so much confidence in the short months he has been attending. His personality is very shy and insecure, but I can see that he's slowly coming out of that shell. Even his teachers at school has noticed a positive change. I'm so proud of the hard work he's putting in and sometimes he wants to go 5 days a week! I'm looking forward to seeing my son blossom under Master Park's tutelage in the years to come. Thank you for the hard work that you do for these kids.

    We just started coming for two months after high recommendations from a family friend about Master Park's discipline and how the classes are so energetic. He instills so much respect and discipline from his pupils. All students show great behavior and help each other out. There are two additional assistants. Saturday classes tend to get a bit more crowded. We love how Master Park is teaching our son so many skills and he is loving it way more than his previous martial arts classes that wasn't as challenging. My son is currently a white belt and he has his yellow belt test next week. It's kind of pricey at $55 for a test but we feel that is worth it. He has been waiting for a Yellow belt for a long time. What we like about World Best Tae Kwon Do is that Master Park wont just give a kid their next level belt without having them study a few questions, explain why they want the belt, what are their short term goals, long term goals and even the parents have to check if the kid has been poor, good or excellent at home with various check marks that they need to accomplish like chores, respect for elders, siblings and teacher. There are other questions that ask about the child's attitude and habits at home. For Master Park it is not just a belt that you get at his studio. Getting the next belt means that the child is accomplished at home, school and at the studio to deserve it. It is a holistic approach that encompasses goodhabits as well as good Tae Kwon Do skills. Highly recommend this studio for any parents that wants too see more discipline, courage, confidence and respect from their child. March 2018 update: Saturday 10am family class gets very crowded. As Master Park, the 10am is strictly "family", like siblings or parents. He recommends the 11am class for kids attending without family in the program to avoid the overcrowded setting. March 2020 Update: We've been away from WBTKD for over one year. We had enrolled our son in the Black Belt program that guarantees the child will "eventually" get their belt, no matter how long it takes. It was pretty expensive. I think it was almost $3,000. My son took a break for more than one year and today he came back again. Master Park still remembered him and his assistant instructor too. They were not judgmental about why he came back after a long time or gave me a hard time about not accepting him back without paying again! I really appreciate that. As any parent of child knows, kids keep on changing their minds about activities they like to participate. So grateful that he didn't give us lecture about not attending for a prolonged period.

    Master Park is the Best (Hence the name). My daughter Elia has been studying here for 3 years and we are absolutely loving it. Not only she gets to learn about Taekwondo, she also behave better at home. Thank you Master Park !

    Master Park is great with kids, teaching technique, discipline, and respect

    I took 4 years of martial arts when I was a teenager and my son (age 14 and now with 7 years…read moreexperience) is a black belt in karate. When we started looking in this area for what will become his new dojo, we were open to starting over in a new style, so we read all the reviews and websites for all the local instructors and then visited the advanced classes of the 9 within our acceptable travel distance. Both of us being experienced and knowing the path to black belt can take many years, we committed to really finding the right instructor/school for him by training with the 4 of those 9 that we liked best. SK Taekwondo was the fourth of the four we've tried and where we've ended up staying. Due to Covid, we waited over a year to try this place because they weren't allowing parents to watch while Covid was in full swing. We've been here for over 10 months now and it was definitely worth the wait. After a couple months of my son training here, my wife even signed up! SK Taekwondo is 5 stars all the way and I have so many good things to say about it. When we first started reviewing martial arts schools in the area, our intuition said SK would be the place we'd end up at because the classes looked like they were super fun and the training facility was huge and beautiful. It had great parking and a large area with seating for parents to watch. The little kids' classes were especially fun to watch with a dedication to both fun and discipline that was clear in both the joy of the students while training and the speed and enthusiasm they all demonstrated with lining up, doing drills and exercises, enthusiastically answering "yes sir!" as they did, etc. The school also has systems in place to support their younger students in getting good grades and being responsible and respectful at home. For the adult classes, which start at age 13, the same level of discipline and fun are encouraged. Every class consists of a warmup and stretching followed by technique training. Almost all exercises are partner exercises, so my son got to know other students quickly and there is a real sense of community. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and absolutely wonderful people, kind and supporting, friendly and welcoming to both students and parents like me who are just watching, and clearly dedicated to the sport. Instructors rotate and the classes are quite different each time, which our whole family enjoys. In the 10+ months we've been training, I can say that not a single class has been the same as any other. The foundational skills are included in everything and forms are usually 5-10 minutes at the end. The rest is really varied but always interesting and a great workout. Equipment like kicking pads, agility ladders, cones, etc. are used frequently and this makes the classes even more fun and diverse. They play music during the warmups and drills and that adds to the fun and energy of the environment too. Fridays are dedicated to sparring, testing is every couple months, and they have a "Black Belt Club" option where you can pay up front for unlimited classes until you get your black belt. This is the best price and what my son and wife both ended up doing. Estimated time to achieve black belt is 2.5 to 3 years if you are dedicated and attend class at least a couple times a week. This place is absolutely amazing and I could not recommend it higher. If you are looking for you or your child, come in and watch or try the actual class you/they will be in. Take advantage of whatever intro offer SK is offering at the time and experience it for yourself. If you do, I'm confident you'll be as happy and impressed as we have been!

    Use to be a good place but now is a Babysitting place after being sold to different owner…read more Lack of staff, poor communications, low quality of teaching any instruction. If you are looking for more serious training technique for your kids go somewhere else.

    My 10-year-old son has been attending K Taekwondo for just over a year, and we couldn't be happier…read morewith the experience! Grand Master Lim and ALL the instructors are amazing--patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping each student grow both in skill, confidence and discipline. We've seen such positive changes in our son's focus, discipline, and self-esteem since he started. The classes are well-organized, energetic, and fun, while still maintaining a strong sense of respect and structure. It's clear that the school cares deeply about each child's progress, both on and off the mat. If you're looking for a Taekwondo program that builds character as much as it teaches martial arts, K Taekwondo is the place to be!

    I have 2 kids (9 and 8) who wanted to learn martial arts. I tried researching Karate vs Taekwondo…read morevs Hapkido and really could not decide what would be best. We randomly stopped by K Taekwondo on a Saturday (they were doing belt testing) and the kids loved what they saw. They have a really nice intro package (something like 6 weeks and free uniform for 40 dollars) and the kids enjoyed it from the get go. They have been going now for 3 months and overall the experience has been great. The instructors are great and the Grand Master is amazing. Kids look forward to the weekly classes (2 classes per week) and we are impressed by all they have learned to date. Would definitely recommend, for kids and teens and adults alike (they have a separate adults class).
