Choosing a martial art for my kids was tough. Everyone is into BJJ or Muay Thai or something that…read moreseems like they have a chip on their shoulder or something to prove. Enter Taekwondo Spirit. Master Lee = Amazing. We chose this studio over two years ago and I have watched my kids grow in body, mind and Spirit (no pun intended). The staff here from Master Cyril in the older days through the current staff have been nothing short of great. They are delicate where they need to be and tough when needed. They very much specialize in children. The studio has built and maintains a community feeling. They have definitely served the youth of La Mirada and the surrounding community by teaching discipline, confidence and self defense. They even participate in local tournaments if you are ready and they echo that sentiment. The sport of Taekwondo is definitely a great introduction to martial arts that develops flexibility, strength and balance. I'm very appreciative to Taekwondo Spirit for what my children have learned through them. Humility seems to flow through this place with nothing but respect given by and to everyone. The only "negative" I could even consider about the location is that the parking lot could get tight in the afternoon hours with the neighboring gym.

This studio will always have a special place in my heart as being the only studio that was willing…read moreto accept my nonverbal autistic son and give him private lessons. I had tried another studio in Whittier who are through the Regional Center (Victory Tae Kwon Do) but unfortunately even free lessons through were not worth it in comparison to here. My son was trained by master Cyril for about 1 year before their lack of availability and our school schedule conflicted to the point of no longer being able to fit us in. The studio is small so understandable, just sad. I realize teaching autistic kids is not their specialty, but I had gone to one other local studio in La Habra that basically turned us away because they didn't want to do the hands on work it takes to teach a child that lacks imitation skills, while another in Fullerton was extremely overpriced and for only 15 minute sessions in addition to being too far. I hope to come back to this studio soon if they have the availability.

My children (one with ADHD) have been training at this academy for over a year, and the experience…read morehas been exceptional. What stands out immediately is the depth of instruction; he teaches actual technique rather than just a general physical education (PE). The classes balance the technicality of martial arts with core values like discipline, confidence, and respect, all while maintaining a lighthearted, age-appropriate environment that keeps the kids engaged and having fun. He truly goes the extra mile for his students and their families, hosting seasonal events that foster a wonderful sense of community. In speaking with him and observing his classes, it is clear he is both a proficient master of his craft and a genuinely good person. That warmth and patience clearly stems from his own experience as a father who has raised several children of his own. I highly recommend this academy. The rates are fair, and the environment is incredibly sincere. If you are looking for a place for yourself or your children to train, I encourage you to stop in and observe a class.

My son has been at this academy for a little over a month now. Since then my wife and I have…read morenoticed a change in our son's behavior, mostly in his self esteem and discipline. I can definitely see how this training can help my son in all aspects of life. My son was a bit reluctant to join and even gave us trouble in the beginning when it was time to go train but now it's something that he looks forward to. Coach Mark and his team are very courteous and attentive. They treat the children like their own. They teach physical and mental toughness as well as empathy and good sportsmanship. I recommend Gridlock academy all my friends and family.

This is my unapologetically biased review of Teragi Jujitsu Academy. My two kids, my wife, and I…read moreall train here. If this review sounds like a love letter to this gym, it's because it is. The owners, professors, and coaches have cultivated a superb gym culture. This gym is safe, friendly, and supportive. The facility is modern and clean, and they've invested in a foam block subfloor beneath the mats for softer landings. As far as I know, this is the only gym in the area that offers women-only classes four times per week and a bi-monthly community open mat for gentlemen 40 years and older. My kids train here after school 4-5 days a week, and they love it. The kids' professors and coaches are experienced and amazing teachers. I'm especially thankful for the young coaches who were so patient and kind to my boys when they were hesitant and shy after first starting. And my pocketbook is especially thankful for the discounted rates for additional family members. If you're looking for a place where the whole family can train, grow, and feel welcome, I can't recommend Teragi highly enough.

My son has been attending Teragi for the last two years, so this review has been long overdue…read more The most important thing for myself was sending my child to a self defense art that actually applied practical methods of protecting oneself as well as a place that exemplified respect and self dependence. I've been to places where it seemed salesy or lacking authenticity. Teragi Academy is a place where they genuinely practice and instill jiu jitsu and its culture of honor and regard of others. The promotion of belts is carried out quarterly and only awarded based on merit. This is also something I greatly appreciate because I know many establishments that give out promotions for no reason at all. Since day one, the professors and coaches of this gym have been patient and meticulous in teaching techniques to the kids. Teragi has been instrumental in providing confidence as well as self awareness for my son. I've seen many of the other kids mature in their own ways for the past 2 years. It's always a wonder to see everyone come up together. For myself and my family, we seen so much growth and discipline in our boy. There's a comfort in knowing that our child is not left helpless and able to stand up himself as well as for others. I've been watching in the sidelines, two to three times a week, for the last 2 years. This is a program that provides a worthwhile experience. The benefit and journey is well worth the investment for anyone, young or old.

It offers a men's and a women's locker room with shower. If you're local to La Habra, I HIGHLY recommend it. The kids class is a great environment for all levels of skill set. If it's day one or year 5+, you will walk away feeling challenged. The structure is not too relaxed or overwhelming... it's just right. I have nothing but praises to offer. If it was closer to home, we would have signed up! Since there, I did also jump on the mat for a trial class. The instructors were well versed and explained the moves with great detail. If you make it out, I'm confident you will enjoy your experience.
