My son's been a part of Black Tiger for two years and absolutely loves it. The instructors have high expectations but are also patient and caring. I appreciate the emphasis on focus, discipline, and hard work. There is also great communication with families. My son has participated in two local tournaments and an inhouse tournament, and the instructors made sure he was prepared. read more

We are loving this place. The teachers are patient and kind, with great energy and really engage the kids. Safety is a priority and they take it seriously both general safety and Covid safety. The classes are when I'm at work and I love that I can watch on Facebook and see my kid having a great time. I'm so happy we found the studio and my daughter is really enjoying her experience. This is definitely a business run on respect and integrity. read more

I used to go here sad that I had to stop but amazing place + amazing teachers.shout out to all the masters!

My 7-year-old daughter has been attending Black Tiger TKD for more than a year, following in the footsteps of my two nieces, who started training with Black Tiger TKD over 9 years ago and are now 3rd and 4th degree black belts. I haven't seen their teaching methods changed or altered over the years that I've been around, even as the number of students has increased. Master Kenny, Grand Master, and the entire staff are dedicated to providing excellent teaching techniques as well as values such as discipline, respect, leadership skills, and hard work. They are extremely passionate about sharing the art and sport of Taekwondo with all of their students. I highly recommend Black Tiger TKD If you're looking for a safe, effective, family-friendly, and well-maintained Taekwondo school. read more

Sent multiple emails to the studio inquiring about registering for classes. No response received.

I just wanted to update my review. My Daughter is still in black tiger tae kwon do and she is just blossoming. Master Kenny is literally the best! He is so good with the little kids. Especially our little girl. She is still the shy, timid girl, but he is able to read her and know how to make her comfortable and help her come out of her shell. He pushes her just enough to get her motivated but not too much that she becomes scared or intimidated. The school is very popular as you can imagine with the spectacular reviews. But it's all true! This is a great Taekwondo school. We love this school for her. We see ourselves here for a long time. Thank you Master Kenny, Master Cho, Master Kim and Jordan! read more

Our friends recommended Black Tiger TKD to us. We are glad that we sent our daughter to learn TKD here. Master Kenny, Master Cho and all other masters and tutors are nice and firm. We are very impressed how much progress our daughter has made over a few months. read more

Black Tiger Tae Kwon Do - Taekwondo Near Me - San Ramon, California

We've been going here for nearly two years when my 6-year old started off as a white belt, now a red belt. The two brothers who run this dojo Master Kenny and Master Cho as well as their assistants really do an excellent job with the kids. Although this is a Tae Kwon Do studio, the instructors place a significant emphasis on instilling discipline and respect, but are really great at doing it in a method that the kids respond to. This is a non-contact mixed boy/girl dojo; however, they do have options to attend tournaments if you are so inclined. I think for the younger kids, the classes and what they teach is plenty, but as your kid(s) gets older there are more options if you want to get immersed in TKD. They also do public performances such as at the annual Art and Wind Festival in San Ramon, held over the Memorial Day weekend. read more

We enrolled our daughter here after reading the reviews of this place. True enough, the instructors here are great! During the trial lesson, we communicated to them that our daughter is very shy, does not speak up much, and takes time to warm up. They were very accommodating and I noticed positive changes in her. Aside from learning Taekwondo, she was always excited going to the class, her confidence improved a lot, and responds properly when asked by the instructor. They teach the students good manners and how to be respectful. We, unfortunately, had to stop the lessons as we moved out of the area. Black Tiger was also kind enough to recommend Taekwondo classes that are nearby our new home. read more

We've been on hold for more than 3 weeks now and no follow up. It'll be nice if someone from their studio would at least call or email us.

They're amazing in discipline, training, commitment to excellence and fosters family, love and sportsmanship. The master teachers are the school owners as well as the grand master. . read more

Both Master Kenny and Master Cho are dedicated in providing the best quality of teaching in an energetic and family atmosphere to all of their students with individual attention and detail.

Kids are treated with love, respect and kind regards with the greatest focus on developing individuals' physical fitness, personal character and leadership skills. I highly recommend Black Tiger TKD if you are looking for a safe, effective, family oriented and well maintained Taekwondo school!

Best decision I made enrolling my 4 year old son at Black Tiger. He learned so many techniques but most importantly values such as discipline, respect, patience, and hard work. I love how the masters take their time to give each child individualized attention especially the younger kids, you can tell they are passionate about their job and truly care for the growth and learninf of their students. This place is very well-run, maintained, clean, professional and a 5 star business in all aspects! Highly recommended. read more

I wish yelp would allow me to give more than five stars! Master Kenny and his team are an amazing group of people who are very dedicated to the kids well-being, the way they learning, how they socialize with them, and how they just truly care about each individual that comes into their studio. You could tell that The instructors each give a special way of giving the students attention, and that is what the students need to learn and grow. I cannot say anything bad about the studio. They created an amazing atmosphere for the kids to just have a great time while they're in class, and as they're having a great time they're learning to grow and level up to their next level. They run it very methodically, professionally, and with a lot of care and love. I am sad that me and my wonderful kids can no longer attend their classes, but we will miss Master Kenny and the rest of the instructors dearly! I highly highly highly recommend that you give them a try while spaces are available! I was lucky to be able to get all three of my kids into their classes!! read more

This is definitely an incredible place to learn TKD with dedicated masters who combine both the seriousness and fun of the art. My oldest son (now 10) wasted more than 2 years somewhere else, which we learned only afterwards. When we started at Black Tiger, Master Kenny did a proper assessment, gave us a chance to try for two weeks, and identified techniques necessary to fix. The team has no-turn overs: Same teachers since we started more than 2 years ago. They are maximum number of days barring holidays. An authentic, family run business. read more

Great teachers big space super great nothing too bad my son loved it so I say it's good

My children (12 & 8) have been going to Black Tiger TKD for 2 years now. I vetted 3 other martial arts studios and I decided to go to Black Tiger TKD because sparring is not mandatory when starting new and I felt the masters care about each student. All the masters are AMAZING. The masters have great teaching skills that cater to each child and build on the skills they need to improve upon. My children both have different skills (Focus and confidence) they need to work on and they've improved so much just within a year. Black TKD fosters a disciplined environment but is fun as well and they truly do care about each student in the class. Made the right decision to go to Black Tiger TKD. read more

My son has been with Black Tiger for over a year and we are very happy with this school. The coaches are skillful and they have trained a lot of tournament champions as a result. They moved to this bigger location some time ago and it is now a neat, new, bright site. Comparing this place with the previous Take Kwon Do school we had used, this is definitely better. In fact we just pre paid an entire year of tuition (at a good discount) because we like this school! read more

My 8 year old son has been going here for 2 years now. I don't have words to describe their dedication to teaching martial arts. They connect with every kid and ensure all of them get to the same level. My son has grown to be an extremely confident person ever since he started taking classes here. Thank you, Master Kenny and everyone else. Oh and they make it fun for the kids as well! read more

My 8 year old son has been going to Black Tiger for around 1.5 years. He really enjoy the class and the time he spend with his coaches. They're doing a good job in teaching kids discipline, commitment, love towards parents and respect to elders. Master Kenny and his assistant coaches are always friendly to talk with and really understand kids need. They always supported us with make up classes in case if we miss a class or two. They are very responsive in email. We are glad we found the right place for our son and we personally recommend this place. read more

My 8 year old son has been going to Black Tiger for 2 years now and he loves it there. While they start the lower belt levels with a lot of fun for little kids, more discipline, and stricter training is practiced as the kids move to higher belt levels. Master Kenny and Master Cho are excellent while dealing with kids and have a great assistant to help them run this fine institute read more

My kids started coming to Black Tiger almost 2 years ago , and they both love it passionately. Both Master Kenny and Master Cho are great instructors .

Overall , this is the best way to teach kids to stay active , be disciplined , respect others , participate in a group activity , improve their focus , concentration , and determination - and all the above while learning a wonderful martial arts form. Facility is A+ . Very clean and spacious too . Highly recommended , I had no idea that we had such a great school in our back yard :) read more

My daughter loves this school and I am very glad she's learning martial arts in such a fun atmosphere. I'm not sure who's more enthused, my daughter about going to class or the teachers when they see her but she's learning a lot from both Master Kenny and Master Cho because they provide that rare individual attention. My daughter was having difficulty with first routine and they suggested I videotape the lessons for her to practice at home. I was impressed when they took the time to perform for the video. This helped tremendously. It is now uploaded to youtube on Blacktiger's request so other kids can also see it. I also like the location & the cozy setting. Makes for a more enjoyable experience for the families considering we're all running around with our kids from class to class. Happy to see such great teachers in close proximity to the San Ramon community. Good work Blacktiger! read more

My son has been taking/going to Black Tiger TaeKwonDo for the last 2 years and he's really grown in his ability to focus, concentrate and improve on his skills. The masters at this school are very organized, trustworthy and at the same time make it fun for the kids to learn TaeKwonDo. They have recently moved to a bigger facility in the same plaza and it's immaculate. We love Black Tiger TKD! read more

Great place for kids to get their taekwondo training. My daughter has been going here for 4 years and likes it.

We have been going there for about 2 months and My kids love going there. Master Kenny Cho and Kim and Oo are awesome. Kids learn so much from them. They also teach discipline and respect for elders. Highly recommend putting your kids in this class. read more

We started TKD at a different school that was running a special just to see if our son was interested. He trully enjoyed TKD and Black Tiger was recommended to us by some friends. We are absolutely thrilled with the Masters and the level of commitment they have to ensure that the students learn correctly, respect the art of TKD, are rewarded by their hard work during belt testing, and have fun every time they attend. Both Master Kenny and Master Cho are passionate, energetic and respectful of the kids -- providing individual attention when needed, joking and engaging them thrughout the session. Addtionally, Black Tiger is well respected in the TKD world -- and individuals who earn their belts from this school are respected and trully "earn" the belts versus being passed through. read more

Awesome facility with great instructors who instill positive attitude and discipline in kids. Our son loves coming here. Highly recommended!

The Black Tiger Taekwondo Martial Arts School is the best school in our area. All of the Masters are extremely dedicated and have a very high degree of professionalism. Every student will be tutored and supported in the best way and according to the individual abilities. Our 10 years old son has developed tremendously and is much more focused and self-confident in school and at home. The whole community (students and their families) of the Black Tiger TKD School are great. This is a wonderful environment for the students to advance in the sport, to learn valuable lessons for life and to have fun at the same time. We highly recommend this school! read more

My son started taekwondo pretty recently. He loves it. Great place!!

I've noticed a remarkable transformation in my very high energy daughter in the months since she's been enrolled at Black Tiger! Master Kenny & Master Joe make discipline, self control & respect the foundation of their teachings. Yet they are also able to be fun & playful with the kids. My daughter has learned to manage her impulsivity & prolong her focus- which is huge for a 4 year old! The masters are so committed to her & her development, as they are with all their students! They stay connected with parents & follow up on how kids are behaving at home & school- always emphasizing respect for parents & teachers! We're so fortunate to have found Black Tiger! read more

Master Kenny, Master Cho and the teachers do a great job of teaching my girls TKD. They provide a combination of work outs, kicks, drills and forms. It's energetic and they have a great sense of community. We really like what they do here at this studio. I went to evaluate 3 other schools before deciding to go with this place and I don't regret it. All the other studios seemed like play time and lacked discipline. read more

Great instruction for the martial art. The instructors instill a sense of discipline in the students and always encourage them to do their best. My daughter loves going there for the art. read more
