GM Yoon has made classes not only intense with the combinations but fun with the hand-eye coordination games. The classes are broken into three groups (beginner, intermediate, & advanced). He even has a little tigers class for the youngest of students; which begins at age three. MAC TKD has been instrumental in keeping my son focused and involved with a lot of fun mixed in. GM has a staff of Black Belt instructors who are also students continuing their training. That alone shows the discipline and dedication the staff has in their craft. I definitely recommend MAC Taekwondo for anyone who is looking to start or continue training!

I've been counting the minutes until my son was old enough to start practicing martial arts. Well…read morethat day has come!! Whenever I research anything new for my family, especially my children, i'll start by looking at Yelp reviews and then google. Once I narrow it down to the top 2 or 3 in my area, then i'll ask my very trusted circle of peers to see if any of them have had experience with and/or have heard anything about the businesses. One stood out online as well as within my peer group comprised of other parents, Anthony Hong Tae Kwon Do !! SO, next step was to contact the studio and get a feel for them right over the phone(i'm a big "energy guy" so can feel if it's right or not immediately just by speaking to someone, lol;-). I spoke to a Master Joseph who was super friendly and very excited about having my little guy come try out their studio. Being that my son just turned 4 I know that there's a possibility that he may not like it so it was important to me that they have a trial period just to make sure before we officially lock in with them. They indeed do and it's a really good one. Only 39.99 for 4 intro classes AND you get a Gi with that which is worth $50 itself, wow!! That takes us to our first class.....my lil dude was nervous as heck and wasn't feeling it. UGH! Master Joseph was super nice and super patient and said don't worry this is pretty common. Told us to bring him back another day and let's give it another go. We did just that and this time he did GREAT and loved it!! PHEW!!!! I will say I was a bit skeptical when I saw Master Joseph as he looks really young, lol. After now watching him with our son, other children as well as adults for about 3 months, I can't praise him enough. He is absolutely FANTASTIC at what he does and he's PHENOMENAL with children!! You can tell that he has a true passion for teaching and helping others and I couldn't feel more comfortable with him guiding my son through his young martial arts journey. I also want to give a shout out to the grand master Anthony Hong himself as well. He runs a tight ship but is also super nice and works VERY well with the kids. His reputation throughout the community is rock solid as being an all around great guy! I've actually noticed that there's just as many adults that practice here as well and there's even classes where you can attend with your child! Who knows, maybe my old ass will get in there some day haha!! All in all, I couldn't be more happy with this studio or the instructors Master Joseph and Grand Master Hong, and the fact that my son is not only learning to defend himself but more importantly he's learning self confidence, respect and discipline. All traits which will help him become a fine young man some day and that he will carry with him forever. Oh and btw, I didn't think Johnny was ready to test for a belt after only a couple months and Master Joseph said he's ready. Well he was right, Johnny broke his board first shot, boom!!

We couldn't have found a better dojo to help us accomplish these goals! Both Master Joseph and Grandmaster Hong are fantastic! They work very well with both of my young kids. They are extremely patient and amiable, but they also know how to push their students to try harder and be better. They make an effort to foster discipline and hard work in class. They are great at keeping the kids engaged, so that they may not even realize they're working hard! Our kids really enjoy working with them! We drive almost a half hour (sometimes 45 mins) to go to their studio, even though there are other taekwondo classes available just down the street from us. That speaks volumes about how much we value the patient, steady work they are doing with our kids! We know that this is an investment in our kids' growth and development that will pay off in the long run.

I feel like he treats his younger students like his own, creating a positive, welcoming atmosphere. You can tell he really loves teaching and is so good with the kids as he makes it really fun for them. His warmth and friendliness extend to the parents as well, making everyone feel like part of his Taekwondo family. I think other parents who come here would agree with me too. I can't say enough good things about Master An and his studio! I drive several miles just to bring my son here even though we live next to a couple studios in town. I wouldn't go anywhere else - this studio is worth every mile! We highly recommend Master An and his studio to anyone looking for a Taekwondo class in North County.

I found Master An and he was so welcoming! 30 years older (58) and overweight with a lot of broken parts, he takes what you have left and works with you and your abilities. I am working my way back up to where I was, lost over 60 pounds and look forward to the next class because it is so fun here! We really are a family. There are complete families who attend here - mom, dad, kids and have been here for years. Even the kids who have gone off to school always come back here on their breaks to take class. Master An is a wonderful instructor. He is so perfect with the little ones! The kids really seem to enjoy their classes, and you can tell he has so much fun teaching them! This is not a huge school where you are a nobody. Since everyone is at a different level, he gives special attention to each person. Everyone here is very encouraging to each other. I highly recommend An's Taekwondo! He offers a free class so come in and see what I mean!
