My daughter has been a student for 7 years, we started in the Ladera Ranch location , and have stayed with Master Kim at his Irvine studio. Wonderful instructors that truly care about the kids .

Great place to exercise, as a member there they have a poster inside showing where and when is the next big tournament near the location. They recently added a system where you have to do twenty classes to get their next belt which is better than the student just showing up for one week and getting the next belt.

It's a nice place for excerising and self defense, but if you want to learn real Martial Arts this place is not to go. The old school was named ATA, which stands for American Taekwondo Association, but Taekwondo originated from South Korea. They didn't teach real forms or real kicks, they just tried to fake it, the tournaments are all in-school tournaments. As well as their belts, they claim there is a camo belt, but there is no such thing. As a Black belt from another school, I can cofidently say that if you just want to exercise and have fun, this is a good place to go, but if you want to learn real self defense, find another school.
