He had recently experienced some bullying issues at school, and we were searching for a martial arts studio that could help him build confidence while teaching valuable life skills. From the moment we walked in, Master Chris made us feel welcome. His approach goes far beyond Tae Kwon Do. He focuses on building respect, discipline, and self-confidence in every student. Master Chris has a true gift for motivating kids. He knows how to balance firm instruction with encouragement, creating an environment where students feel supported and capable. Not sure why we didn't start sooner! Most definitely recommend Victory Tae Kwon Do!

The instructors are patient and engaging with the kids. They know when to teach the kids, let them have fun, and give them tough love at the same time. My son's confidence has grown so much since taking classes here. He isn't shy at school when they ask him to speak bc the instructors at Tom Vo constantly teach the kids to be confident and strong leaders. My son lets his little sister do things first because Tom Vo classes teaches the importance of the gentlemen letting the ladies go first. If you want to put your kids on the path of being good humans at a young age Tom Vo classes are definitely the way to go

This has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. Our little one started in the Tom Vo Tae…read moreKwon Do program at just three years old and has continued to grow within it. He is now a candidate belt, training for his black belt. Hands down, Tom Vo's program is the most effective, reliable, consistent, and challenging among the dojos I've heard about from other parents. Simply put, Tom Vo's program is incomparable. ALL the masters, leadership are amazing! They exemplify what you would want to see in a leader and a mentor! The kids are introduced to the program in a way that allows them to level up as they take on increasingly challenging activities. The gradual progression is truly something to witness and be a part of. One of the greatest benefits of this program is that kids and parents alike can see different levels of skills to aspire to. The philosophy of "training makes perfect" and pushing through challenges is a valuable lesson that is constantly reinforced. That said, these benefits don't come easy--just like anything worthwhile in life. It takes hard work, discipline, and consistency. There is a commitment required from the students and guidance expected from the parents. We are truly grateful for the dedication and effort the masters put into working with the students. I love seeing my little one grow and take ownership of both the small and big things in life. The experiences that our little one goes through in this program such as tournament, belt testing, intense black belt camp, leading warm-up in class and everyday interactions with other kids in different walks of life are opportunities to have unique and valuable conversations that no other environment can offer. Tom Vo Tae Kwon Do gives these kids a better chance and a greater opportunity to succeed in life.

I can't say enough good things about Gracie Barra Huntington Beach. Tonight honestly exceeded my…read moreexpectations in every way. My son hasn't been super interested in activities lately, so I came in hoping for the best but unsure how it would go. Within minutes, I could see a shift. The instructors made him feel comfortable, included, and confident right away. The energy in the room is something special supportive, disciplined, but still fun. It truly feels like a community, not just a class. We signed up immediately, and I'm so grateful we found this place.

Gracie Barra is a perfect 10 out of 10 every time…read more "No, I don't like that" is a huge part of our daughter's vocabulary, so our goal was for her to begin training in some form of mixed martial arts. We wanted to pick a studio that promoted confidence and constant resilience because she is a very strong-willed young lady. We tried 5 different studios, and to be honest, none of them stood out to us like GB did. Being the tiger mom I am, I want my daughter to try new things, work past her laziness, and know that quitting is never an option. I love that Gracie gives structure and instills a strong work ethic and respectfulness, which was a huge factor in why I chose GB for our daughter--the way they run their program, the way each coach gets down to the children's eye level, and how they expect children to always give it their best. The coaches, Professor, and Nathalia were supportive throughout the entire process. They never pressured our daughter into anything she was uncomfortable with. Although it took about a month for her to fully adjust to the training routine, Coach Curren quickly became our favorite coach. His calm, encouraging presence helps all the children feel at ease and confident during their sessions. Gracie Barra HB is definitely the adopted family you want your kids to have because they're absolutely the best! I recommend them to our friends all the time, and now another family has their girls training with them too.

I had…read moreabsolutely no knowledge of kickboxing, so I thought this would be a place where I could learn from the beginning, especially since I was hoping Nam Phan would guide beginners like me. But honestly, my experience was very bad. I came on a Saturday and arrived about 20 minutes early. When I told him I had never trained in martial arts or kickboxing before, instead of giving me basic guidance, he seemed annoyed that I didn't know anything. Then he told me to warm up by myself. When I came back, there was only one other student there, and that person had only been training for about a month. But the person who actually showed me what to do was that student, not Nam Phan. During training, Nam Phan briefly demonstrated a few moves and then told me to practice with the other student as if I had already been training for a long time. I was a complete beginner, so it was honestly very difficult to keep up. Throughout the entire session, he only corrected me once, but kept yelling loudly at me whenever I made mistakes. I felt extremely uncomfortable but still tried to continue training. Since it was my first class, I also didn't know what I needed to prepare. Before I came, he specifically told me I didn't need to bring anything. But when training started, he suddenly asked if I had boxing gloves. When I said no, he threw the gloves he was holding onto the ground aggressively and asked in an irritated tone why I didn't prepare anything. Throughout the whole session, the way he spoke and his attitude made me feel like I was being scolded for not knowing anything instead of being guided as a beginner. He spoke Vietnamese very quietly and unclearly, so many times I couldn't even understand what he was saying. That training session made me feel extremely bad and uncomfortable. I came in wanting to try and learn a new sport, but instead I only felt pressure and negativity from beginning to end.

If your goal is to be a serious or well-rounded fighter, this may not be the right environment. Overall, it wasn't a good experience for me.
