Kang's Sunrise Taekwondo - Taekwondo program - Taekwondo Near Me - Whittier, California

We found Kang's Sunrise Taekwondo a year ago. I feel like we needed more discipline, confidence for our son. My husband has experience in Taekwondo as his younger sibling so we decided the same for our son. We were received with open arms and a big welcome. Master Kang is very big on confidence, appreciation to our country, USA & South Korea. As well as appreciating the parents. He has worked with our son during this course of the year and we have felt a very strong and positive change. My son tries his best to meet expectations and exceeds. Master Kang applies the obedience and respect not only here at the studio but at home and school. My son has done better in school, respectful and listens the first time something is asked of him. I appreciate all the work that Master Kang puts in every single student since not all are the same. I recommend you bring your little ones to boost their self esteem and confidence in themselves. read more

TKD has inspired my daughter to be more responsible, and everything Master Kang teaches is evident in other aspects of her life like her school and home responsibilities. All we have to say is, "We better share with Master Kang," and her attitude and her approach to any task changes for the better. TKD class is something she looks forward to during the week, and she is determined to become a black belt soon! Highly recommend this TKD studio!! read more

Kang's Sunrise Taekwando Studio is a place I really want to recommend. I live in Buena Park, and although there are many taekwondo academies close to my neighborhood, I am very satisfied with the curriculum here, so it's worth the 20-minute drive to Whittier twice a week. All classes are conducted by Master Kang himself, and he is a true Taekwondo master who accurately guides the spirit and movement of Taekwondo according to the children's eye level. My daughter started in March and has now obtained a yellow belt. As a result, her behavior has improved a lot, and I am so grateful to see that her confidence has increased in school life and friendships. I will continue to fully support my daughter's education at Kang's Sunrise Taekwando Studio so that she can have a healthy mind and a healthy body! read more

Master Kang and the amazing energy this Tae Kwan Do studio brings to its students is one I have never seen before! I have had my son in classes for a couple of months and have since seen a major change in his self-esteem, confidence, and overall well-being.

The environment is friendly and engaging, it feels just right for my son. I have never been so happy to see him shine, and cannot wait to spend more time here with him to watch him grow! Thank you Master Kang for guiding students in a genuine way. We are so grateful for you and your work. read more

Master Kang is firm but fair. He inspires the kids with praise and goals. I grew up attending taekwondo classes as well as my sibling so I wanted my son to be active and learn discipline. Master Kang asks for respect by showing respect. He meets the kids at their level. He works with them and really coaches them. My son loves going to Taekwondo. I have zero complaints from him when it's time to go to his class. I also enjoy watching how timid most kids are when they start as white belts and in just a few sessions, they are showing confidence and strength. It's brings me joy to see our kid, as well as, other children grow and learn and reach goals. read more

Both of my kids attend this studio. It has probably been one of the best decisions I have ever made it relation to their development. When I first started bringing them it was probably more about something for them to do. But as they progressed, I started seeing parts of their lives drastically improve. Things such as respect, self discipline, self confidence, and helping others is a core value of this studio. and I see it in my kids. Master Kang is the instructor and has watched my kids grow up. He is is a very good instructor, trainer, and friend. He treats all his students with respect, and parents love the way he works with the kids. If you are thinking of bringing your child here, do not let price and time be a factor when it comes to your child's development. I have seen younger and older kids attend this studio and they are all better because of it. read more

Students receive great instruction from Master Kang thought it was great how kids are put into groups with Leadership Team for even more personalized instruction. Master Kang continues to work with each group overseeing students and Leadership teams . It was enjoyable watching my grandson Ezekiel Perez this morning. Very nice : ) read more

I have both my kids age 6 ans 9 attending here almost 10 months now. Both are growing in different areas. They like the challenge the classes bring. They are challenged physically and mentally. We are happy with the small classes vs other places we checked out before deciding on Master Kangs class. There are hard days but they are always eager to retuen and learn new moves, new phrases and improve on their form. Their favorite class is sparring. As a parent I have enjoyed watching them learn and see them be neater and more respectful to one another. read more

I have a son (9) and a daughter (6) I bring here. I visited other classes to see which I felt was suitable for them. We decided on Master Kangs because the kids enjoyed his approach. I was sold on the place when I saw results on both my children. My docile boy became more confident and aggressive. Weirdly enough my wild child girl calmed down and listened to us more. The sparring on the weekends was my goal for them. I wanted to see how they would react to contact. A shock for sure by the third session they were hooked. I feel this class was a missing piece for my kids. A balance they needed. Master Kang is strict and playful at the right times. I feel both is needed and is ideal for what a Mentor should be. They also made friends here with other good kids. TLDR: My boy lacked confidence gained it here. My little girl lacked discipline gained it here. Master Kang is a perfect balance of strict and playful. read more

I am so thankful and glad that we found this tkd place! The master really cares and knows each of his students and it shows through the way that he instructs and shows attentiveness to each individual student. The wife is also super helpful and friendly and also cares for the students as well. The master teaches each class with so much energy and passion that it amazes us every class we attend. This place is definitely a place where they teach discipline, having a positive / confident attitude- characteristics that they can apply in life as well. My kids have definitely been learning so much from this place and enjoy coming to every single class. read more

Thankful we found this tae kwon do for the kids! They have been enjoying every class and are always looking forward to the next.

As a member for a about a year now, I can say that my experience has only grown, from the start of my journey here, and yes this can be called a journey because, it is hard to find a Master capable of expressing what a martial art really is. As a marital arts enthusiast, myself, I am quite lucky to understand how deep his knowledge goes with fighting and martial arts. With a lifetime of experience at his disposal, he can teach the balance you can acquire within yourself, at the pace you are willing to go. Lots of good vibes and knowledge are found here. read more

I recommend this taekwondo place that kicks all the right boxes! This martial arts facility is a knockout when it comes to providing an exceptional taekwondo experience. Taught by Master Kang himself and he strikes the perfect balance between discipline and encouragement. There is a sense of community--they've got a squad of taekwondo enthusiasts who will have your back with the black belt spirit. So, my child even had a memorable birthday party here and it was a BLAST!!! Even a first timer friends got to kick and split the wooden boards in half, like a champ, lol!!! read more

It is fun and a great teaching tool that they can take for the rest of their lives . read more

I started going to Kang's Sunrise Taekwondo just to do some exercise and lose some weight. I figured I could learn to protect myself since I run alone and be less intimidated by my bully (yes, adults are bullied too). Little did I know that Master Kang was going to help me find my inner strength and courage. At the beginning I would cry when he would say he knew I was strong inside. I couldn't verbalize "I can do it", nor "I'm the best" as he asked me to say aloud. I realized my bully had done a lot more damage than I ever thought since I'm 56 years old. My self esteem was very low! Little by little I learned to believe in myself and believe that I really had the ability to look at my bully straight in the eye and not back down and I did! Since then, thanks to Master Kang, I'm now physically and mentally stronger and believe I can attain a black belt. I have also seen the great positive changes in children that started at the same time I did. read more

Kang's Sunrise Taekwondo - Braking the board with a side kick - Taekwondo Near Me - Whittier, California

One of the greatest gifts my father gave me as a child was to put me through a martial arts school. It built my confidence, my focus and discipline. Traits that I still hold on to as an adult. My two older sons who are now adults received the same training. Due to a back injury I was unable to train my 10 year old daughter. I have been looking for a good school for her to attend that would teach her the same values that I was taught as a child by my teacher. I know the difference between a school that does not meet the standards. The Sunrise school is the real deal. I feel confident that my daughter will receive quality instruction. Mr. Kang is a very knowledgeable and a good teacher. He is involved in everything that is going on during the instruction of the class. Kelly is professional and welcoming. Trust me when I tell you this is a good school because of my personal martial arts training. This is one of the best gifts I can give my daughter. A gift that will follow her for the rest of her life. Discipline, confidence, focus, respect. read more

Master Kang is absolutely the best! My kids are now both black belts and are continuing to develop their skill in the leadership program. They love it!

We were on the fence about spending the time and resources for our 5 year old to do Taekwando. We thought she was too young but decided to try out Kang's Sunrise Taekwando anyways after reading the reviews here on yelp. Over a year later we are going strong and my little girl loves it. I can say that I have definitely seen her grow in so many ways, most notably her confidence in her own abilities. Master Kang really does an excellent job facilitating a structured class that is fun and serious all at the same time. We can tell that she is trying her best, listening, and paying attention. I highly recommend! read more

We did an 4 intro sessions. My boys (6 and 3) loved it. Master Kang is EXCELLENT with the kids and they have fun while learning discipline of Tae Kwon Do but also at home. Their curriculum is great when it comes to accountability of the child and their behavior. The only downfall is that it is WAY to expensive and its not Master Kangs fault...its a franchise school and so they set the prices so we couldnt responsibly afford to continue which is a shame cause my boys REALLY loved it and enjoyed being taught by Master Kang. So I couldnt rate Master Kang or the instruction lower just because the price was not reasonable. This rating is based on the instructor, his customer service and the facilities instruction. read more

My son has been going to Kang's Sunrise Taekwondo for 4 years now. He is now a black belt and has started on his second degree Blackbelt. He is in the Leadership program where he now helps instruct the younger students. He really enjoys this and it has helped him gain confidence in working with others and public speaking. My six year old daughter who has been watching him for years has now started taekwondo as well. She really loves learning with Master Kang who makes it fun and exciting for her. She has really improved quickly and her brother helps her a lot. It is a great activity they share and can now do together. I like the exercise they get and also the importance Master Kang places in discipline at home and school as well. Over all we have had a great experience here and would recommend it to everyone! read more

Our 5 year old son has been going here for around 6 months and enjoys it up to this day. Master Kang not only teaches Taekwondo styles but also the discipline that is needed. He makes his classes fun but at the same time serious enough for them to learn what is needed. Not only do we like how he teaches the class, we like how he continues to teach kids confidence in themselves. He also teaches the importance of a good attitude/behavior they need to show during class and most importantly when outside of class. Respect is also a main teaching in his class. At home we always remind our son, when his behavior falters (as normal with kids), if that is in line with Master Kang's teachings, and if it is something Master Kang and we as parents should be expecting. Whenever that happens, our son has been more aware of what is the correct attitude and behavior. If you read other reviews, you can see it is great for kids in that he has a reward system which the kids love. It helps show progress and makes it fun for the kids to do their best in each class. The most important facet of all this is it that our son has fun. That is what makes him want to go to as many classes as he can during the week. For anyone interested, please give the trial period a chance. I believe it may be a very low cost and it will help you make the decision on if you and/or your kid will like it. In all honesty, one may think that pricing may be high (which I thought at first) but since he has started, we have no regrets. It's worth what our son is learning and the fun he is having. We actually even enrolled him a few months ago in the Black Belt Club where it involves additional classes that provide more training in other aspects of Taekwondo. It costs a little more but our son really enjoys going to class. Master Kang does expect a little more from his students in those classes which is understood. read more

Awesome great Taekwondo master that is a excellent instructor. My so enjoys and looks forward to his classes.

great place. amazing staff and my daughter has enjoyed the experience way more than we expected and has continued to stick with it on a weekly basis read more
