“My nephew had a hard time wanting to start the process.... But they worked with him.... Took the extra time to talk to him and relate. They are great at encouraging and cheering on everyone. I also like that the class has varying ages. It's a very welcoming place.“
“My two teens began taking classes here a few months ago and have loved it! The professors are knowledgeable and supportive and classes are well structured while still allowing the people there to have fun and challenge themselves. I see nothing but smiling faces at the end of the classes. Tired but smiling.“
“What a wonder gym with a great atmosphere and fantastic instruction from world class instructors. the space is made for all ages and abilities and is incredibly welcoming for advanced and new students alike. Cleber is very personable and a great instructor that genuinely cares for his students and wants only the best for them from travelong to tournaments to coach to one on one lessons you should come here for world class training.“
“Master Chris and all of the staff are excellent. They are especially patient with my shy son giving him confidence, extra time when he needs it and patience. Class is fun, kids are in great spirits and enjoy coming each week. They also reinforce respect, talk to the kids about creating good habits and kindness. Highly recommend for all ages.“
“Great location It is clean, friendly, and has a good selection of equipment. Kirtus there is a great trainer.“
“I dropped in to train BJJ while I was traveling. Instructor and students were very welcoming. Class structure worked great. I got a good workout and some great rolls in.“
“Master John is amazing with his students. Love how the Studio focuses on respect. My daughter and her friends really enjoy going to class every week.“
“Legacy has set such high standards that it makes it difficult to take my kids elsewhere for any sort of classes. They are truly caring, kind and compassionate while being nicely strict. My son admires Master and the instructors. He listens well in class and I've seen the changes outside of Legacy. Most other extra curricular activities are very business like, miss a day you get 1 chance for a make up class and if not you lose it. Legacy has lenient policies for make up classes, it doesn't feel so overwhelming when you commit to the training center. I'd recommend Legacy to everyone!“
“I have been to a few Jiu-Jitsu studios in the past with the intent to start my journey into this discipline. However, none gave me the feel and energy I sought as a professional. This academy felt right when I walked through the door as Jason Youseph so humbly and welcoming greeted me to start my first session the same night. David, my instructor of the night, made my first experience delightful as he meticulously and simple taught me multiple techniques and foundational concepts. I look forward to my future sessions at Carlson Gracie Irvine, and highly recommend this place!“
“Best place ever! The Masters are so kind they have helped my child grow in so many ways. Can't say enough great things about Sunrise.“
“Update: 6/6/2022The classes are full in a good way, lots of kids enjoying the lessons, the environment is friendly and a fun place to learn and exercise, recommended-------Grand Master is good with kids and the training for adults is good.“

“Exceptional ethics here! Master Kellogg is a true martial artist! Great supportive family environment.“
“They have a good selection of products. Some of the quality is on the lower side, but if you're an informed shopper you can pick the better stuff from their inventory. Prices are not too bad, given current supply chain issues and product shortages.“
“Best thing I ever did for my son was enroll him with IL-DO. The team here are supportive, hard-working, and most of all, dedicated! I'm so impressed with this studio. It's amazing to see how much my son has evolved as a person with confidence, focus and skill since we joined. Thank you to the team! Shout out to master Daniel, master Brian, master Kim and master ramin! You all have made a huge impact on Aron. Best regards, tam“
“Im only going to speak on the kickboxing classes. I havent tried their sparring or grappling classes but This isnt your normal cardio class where you hit the bag a few times and go home. they will empty your tank, you will be fatigued and you will be punching and kicking the bag until your arms and legs fall off, your clothes will be drench with sweat every session. The sessions were amazing, They would empty my tank on the bag with a combination like a 1-2 or a specific kick over and over and we would move right back into pad work and back onto bags, completely working the whole body and mind. I’ve trained at multiple MMA gyms and I can confidently say these kickboxing classes are not for hobbyist, they will train you like you’re a professional kickboxer and striker going into a fight. I cant speak highly enough of how tough, rigorous, and intense the pad work and bag work here for the kixkboxing classes is.“
“ATI is an exceptional studio that defies easy description. Master Kwon is an incredible teacher with a fierce passion for Taekwondo, both in practice and instruction. He is extremely kind and highly respected. Not only does he teach children about kicking and punching, but he also instills in them the essence of being a true martial artist. At ATI, students are also introduced to Korean culture, the birthplace of Taekwondo, as Master Kwon incorporates it into the learning experience. The instructors here are truly qualified and excellent in both technical and teaching skills. They are certified by Kukkiwon, the headquarters of Taekwondo in Korea, and have achieved numerous accolades in local, regional, national, and international competitions, including prestigious ones like the US Open. They respect the students and teach them with complete dedication. A lot of students are also actively participating in many Taekwondo competitions throughout the year which makes the school such a vibrant and positive environment. Over the years, my little kid has trained here, and I can attest that ATI is a well-known and reliable Taekwondo school in our local community. The studio's inclusion of children with special needs, adults of all ages, and students from diverse backgrounds, including those transferring from other Taekwondo schools, states, and countries, makes it an exceptional place for training. I do not think there are any other Taekwondo schools in the area offer classes for all ages. The closest one is like 15miles away from Garden Grove. One of the most realiable and credible things about this studio as I know is many trainers at ATI have been with the school for many years, starting from their elementary school days and continuing through to graduating from college, whether as engineers or while earning doctoral degrees. A lot of them have established careers and been successful as well. I rarely write reviews on Yelp, but I feel compelled to respond to some of the negative comments. In martial arts, children must learn discipline and respect for others, from family members to strangers. This is a fundamental pillar of ATI's teaching. During belt promotion tests, which occur every 2-3 months, all students are encouraged, though not required, to spend a few extra minutes observing their peers as a way of learning and showing respect. I believe this is an excellent method of educating children on mutual respect. I don't understand the complaints about tuition. My child has trained here for years, and ATI's tuition is among the most reasonable in the area for such high-quality training. I find the negative reviews strange and unfounded. Moreover, ATI is the only Taekwondo school in the area that offers free trials for students. Master Kwon has been teaching and running this school with passion for over twenty years, so I believe the negative reviews are unjustified. Thank you again, Master Kwon, and all the incredible instructors and trainers at ATI.“
