Small studio with classes at several times for young ones. We tried the 2 week trial which was set…read morefor 3:30 pm (interfered with nap) which was a slight problem. My son seemed to enjoy it but did not partake like the others since he was tired. There was no wiggle room on time since we were in the trial phase. Price is $200 a month with a 6 month commitment with initiation fee, $230 if you want to go month to month. Since it seemed like our kiddo wasn't quite into it yet and maybe too young, we didn't sign up. I will say though, the establishment is clean. The instructors are attentive and it really requires discipline for the kids. We would consider trying again at a later time but the price tag just seems too high.

I love what IL-DO has done for my grandson. It has been a very positive experience for him. His…read moreconfidence, focus, and his coordination have all improved. He started as a 4-yo and will be turning 6 in a couple months. What he is learning through IL-DO Taekwondo are not just benefiting him at home, school or in his other sports, but in his overall development. He is learning more than Taekwondo, he is learning to be a good human. To date, we have recommended IL-DO to 5 of his friends at school and from his baseball team. All have joined and seem to be enjoying and growing with the program. I recommend you give your son or daughter a chance to experience this program and take the introductory class and see it for yourself.

My son looks forward to karate each week and is excited to continue his journey in karate at Tajik.

***This a review for the capoeira program and facilities…read more CAPOEIRA: I've been taking capoeira classes for almost a year now through Capoeira Batuque Irvine (look it up for more info!). The capoeira classes are located in a different studio on Mondays while we utilize this ATA Martial Art's studio on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's been such a great learning experience physically and mentally. Our instructor, Corpo Fechado (Zach) simultaneously walks us through and pushes our limits every class. We still have our music portion at the beginning of class as it is an essential factor in capoeira. Furthermore, it is inspiring to see other students improve through time we train together. The number of students training have risen tremendously! I remember there was about 10-14 students per class but now it goes up to 20 students per class on a certain days. You know it's a good 2-hour workout when your t-shirt is drenched and when you think your crying, it's actually the dripping sweat from your forehead to your eyes. FACILITIES: Clean and spacious. The huge space is beneficial for our capoeira warm-ups, drills, and roda, especially more new students training. I love the padded floors! The bathroom is consistently clean, too. Come join the fun!

My son has been a student at OCMA for the past 10 years, and during this time we have seen the…read morestudio evolve under different leadership from the previous management to when Master Kim took over a few years ago. Unfortunately, the quality and culture of the studio have declined significantly since Mr. Kim assumed responsibility from his father. Mr. Kim lacks experience in managing a studio and consistently demonstrates a transactional, money driven approach. His communication with customers is unprofessional. My son is a second degree black belt and was working toward his third degree black belt, a two year commitment. At 18 months into the program, he suffered a broken toe during routine sparring in class. When I called the studio to inform them of the injury and our need to discontinue training, I expected empathy or at least acknowledgment of the situation. Instead, Mr. Kim's immediate response was that we would still be charged for the upcoming month. There was no concern for my son's injury, no expression of support, and not even a suggestion that he return once healed, despite he had only six months left to complete his third degree. After a decade of loyalty and commitment to the studio, it was deeply disappointing to encounter such an insensitive and dismissive response. It became unmistakably clear that the priority was not the student's long term dedication or progress, but simply securing the next month's payment. We never imagined our relationship with the studio would end this way after ten years of trust, consistency, and support only to find ourselves arguing over a single month's charge. Yet Mr. Kim left us no choice. His rigid, money first approach made it painfully evident that the relationship meant far less to him than it ever did to us.

The skill level of the attendees are from zero experience to several practitioners with 40 to 50 years experience, so there is not a lack of mentors in this group. The skills honed here can be a good supplement to your already existing training regiment. This is not a school environment, so there are no belts or shirts. There are representatives from many different lineages, so you can learn from all or choose just one mentor. Or you can just come to play and keep your skills up. Very relaxed environment, and most importantly, there are none of the usual politics found in many WC schools.

I was worried we wouldn't be able to find a place where my kid would be able to thrive since she really struggles with following and processing verbal instructions, and I can't brag about the staff here enough! The coaches are incredibly patient and intentional. They take the time to break things down step by step, demonstrate each move, and give my child the opportunity to learn through repetition and practice in a way that really works for her. What has been most meaningful is seeing my child's confidence grow because she is improving in not only technical skills, but also in how to carry herself in just daily everyday life. I see my child now more willing to try, to keep going even when something feels hard, and really feel pride. Her peers are kind, encouraging, and inclusive. I have seen other kids step in to help her when she is struggling with a move, which says so much about the culture the dojo creates! We are so grateful to have found a place where she feels supported, understood, and motivated to keep growing. I highly recommend for anyone researching a dojo for their child to start!

The senseis at Karate Irvine have done a fantastic job training my children. My kids started their…read morelessons about a year ago and have progressed immensely from the direction of their sensei and the dojo. They start out like everyone else with white belts, and have progressed to their current orange belts. I like that they have their weekly private lessons where they can learn the various forms, techniques, and get very technical in their practice. The more direct teachings from the private lesson help them develop their skills while the dojo also holds daily group classes. These classes occur throughout the week as well as Saturdays, and while I try my best to take them in to as many during the week as possible I'm not always able to bring my kids in. During these group classes they get to exercise and work on some group activities, such as group sparring, or punches and kicks on the pads. The senseis all know my kids by name and are very approachable, as well as when we could not make it to our private lessons due to vacation or illness we have always been able to request for a make up class and they are very accommodating with the rescheduling. If you're interested in putting your child into karate but are unsure if your kid is a good match, they do have trials which they will spend a few minutes with your child and work through a short private lesson to gauge their interest. Also, while my kids are not in tournaments, be aware you will have to invest a bit into their growth with sparring gear, outfit, and maybe the occasional long trip to a tournament.
