Everything about his TKD training has improved beyond what I could imagine in the short time he's been training there. And it's all because of the coaching and teaching techniques the Salim's have implemented. They make training interesting for the students. In addition to traditional TKD training, the Salim's take students on trail runs, beach runs, track runs to mix things up. And while they train hard, they have created an environment where the students feel like family. The Salim's have treated my son with nothing but kindness since day one, and they welcomed him with open arms. I would whole-heartedly recommend Salim's TKD if you are considering martial arts for your child.

Before finding STK, my daughter use to do Soo Bak Do and Karate. She hated any form of physical exercise, so I would force her to get off her ipad and take her to do these activities. Every Tuesday night on our nightly walks, we would see the Salim Tae Kwon Do Van and their students training at Aviation Park in Redondo Beach. The students looked hard core... meaning to me ... looked like Olympic level athletes!! ... When my daughter refused to go to Karate, I would threaten her that I would enroll her at Salim Tae Kwon Do! ... This threat worked well because she was absolutely terrified of STK, because she witnessed how they would train at the park. She would get ready in 3 mins and out the door! Refuse chores? .. I only needed to say two words.. "Salim, Salim!" .., and this would entice her to do her chores! Anyhoo... onto how I eventually enrolled her at STK. My daughter was being bullied by a few boys in her class. So I Dropped her out of Karate and enrolled her into Salim Tae Kwon Do. "THE BEST PARENTAL DECISION I EVER MADE!!!" It's been 7 months since joining Salim, and in that short period I have seen an incredible transformation. My daughter is no longer the cowardly introverted little punching bag! Nope, she walks with confidence, her head up, shoulders back and kicks high and her form is strong! I am truly amazed with the positive transformation and it's all thanks to the teaching skills of Master Salim and his team! After a much anticipated re-opening of Salim Tae Kwon Do, their doors have finally opened inside the Southbay Galleria Mall. The new address is 1815 Hawthorne Blvd space 266 Redondo Beach 90278 Located on the 2nd floor near parking structure. Come & join the fun at Salim Tae Kwon Do and celebrate the re-opening with New mats, New Gear and tastefully furnished vibe. Master Salim and his dedicated staff will have your children mastering the concepts of Tae Kwon Do in no time! My daughter has been a student at Salim for a year now and it's the best decision ever made when it comes to outside school activities.

Losing is a phenomenal motivator to hone your skills. We were told about a "friendly" competition at my children's BJJ gym and traveled over an hour to Inspirit for my daughters 2nd and sons first comp. Inspirit is a very clean gym, and we had a pleasant experience throughout the morning and part of the afternoon. The large, enclosed back area felt safe, allowing my youngest to roam around unsupervised. What I think is absolute nonsense is that my daughter, who just earned her grey belt with a white stripe, was moved from a division of three other kids with the same belt to the division with the highest grey belt. They paired my daughter with the owner's daughter, who, in my opinion, is definitely not a grey belt. My daughter fought, tried, and lost, and THAT'S OK. We're PROUD of her and we know what she needs to work on. But what I'm not proud of is the gym lying about it being a friendly competition and then promoting a far less experienced practitioner so their child could win. That's pretty low. A lady next to me, whom I've never seen before, said, "That wasn't even a fair fight," and the coach from our gym later voiced the same opinion to our professor. Our friends voiced that same opinion. To add insult to injury, our gym professor doesn't enter his kids in these "friendly" tournaments due to ethical concerns. So, is this the kind of sportsmanship, ethics and self defense you want to learn or have your kids learn!?! if it is, you've found your gym. Who calls us from the gym to "check up" and then "thank us for our feedback?" - Some random employee who also tried to take responsibility for making the bracket, that's BAD business and I'd bet the family farm she didn't set the brackets - the owners do. At least I now know you're so ashamed of your decisions, you're unwilling to take responsibility for your actions and willing to throw a 7 year old and an adult under the bus. Here's your "feedback"
