Sky Martial is the best Taekwondo studio in the Bay Area hands down! In today's age of kids getting trophy for losing, every rank and belt is earned here at this studio. Both my kids have made it to black belt and will continue to earn their black belt degrees. We have tried many different studios but Sky is special. My kids know they have to have focus and dedication and the belt they wear is earned and not given. This is a huge life lesson. There are many positives at Sky, too many to list. The most important thing is Sky is an extended family. The kids have a special bond with each other, all the parents and masters are like family. Grandmaster Yoon and Master Andrew have a good balance of discipline and kindness. They are great mentors and are very well recognized in Taekwondo worldwide. Sky is the place to learn the true teachings of Taekwondo!! read more

This is a second home to our children. Both Grand Master Yoon and Master Andrew take very good care to understand the child and fit them into the regime that imbibes love for self care, discipline and embracing Taekwondo as a way of life. read more

This is the place for a Kiss Ass workout! These instructors are very focus! They are Fabulous, and they love what they do It's great for kids it give them self esteem, discipline, and much much more. read more

Grandmaster Jun Yoon and their staff are some of the best you can find in California. While GM Yoon is one of the most decorated and accomplished Taekwondo master, he is also so graceful, gentle, and humble. His skills are top notch, but his character is what makes him a true grand master. I am also a master in Taekwondo and operate my own school, but I always look to GM Yoon for advise and help, as he is so available, open, and loving. I feel very lucky to know him and have him closely as a mentor. If you are able to learn from Master Yoon, you are very lucky! read more

We first came to Sky in 2008 on a recommendation in search of an activity to help our older son build esteem, confidence, respect, and discipline. Since then, we have become part of the Sky family. Grandmaster Yoon, Master Andrew, Master Joe, and Master Justin are all great instructors and really care about the student. They work with each child to help them achieve their maximum potential. As a result, 2 of our boys have competed successfully in both sparring and poomsae over the years and have placed at the state, national, and international levels. They also put a strong emphasis on respect of self and others and to work hard academically. This is a great place to have your kids feel a sense of accomplishment and support. read more

Would highly recommend Sky Martial Arts. Our sons started attending Sky Martial Arts 2 years ago. They have learned so much while attending classes with Grandmaster Yoon and staff. Honor, discipline, focus and integrity are values learned. They are not afraid to perform in front of an audience and can perform under pressure. Sky focuses not just on how students are doing while in class but also want to make sure they are doing well at home and at school. I love the submission of the weekly reports. If Sky notices the boys aren't pulling their weight at home or at school they are good about having a heart to heart conversation with them and reiterating the importance of good behavior and making good decisions. It is a family atmosphere at Sky Martial Arts. Love that they renovated and expanded their facility. read more

Honored to have my son practice under the honorable Grandmaster Yoon and his son Master Yoon. My son has learned so much in such short amount of time, it's remarkable! Sky Martial Arts isn't just a Taekwondo studio to practice Taekwondo, Sky engages every student to push forward to succeed academically, physically, emotionally to ultimately have a strong mind and body! read more

Master Phil is amazing. The whole program is great for kids. I've seen improvements in my children's behaviors as well as physical and mental development. Highly recommend this program to anyone looking for results. read more

My sister has been attending Sky for 3 years now and I have seen great improvement from her. Grams Master Yoon is great as well as the other instructors there. She is definitely a more disciplined and well balanced person by attending classes there. I highly recommend it! read more

Master Yoon is awesome! He has such a great, upbeat attitude and he will motivate you to work hard. I have been taking kickboxing from him (and his assistants) for about a year now and it is so much fun! (This is from someone who is more inclined to sit on the couch and stare at the wall than work out. lol.) Go to Sky. You will be glad you did! read more

The best place to learn! Give Grandmaster Yoon and his family an hour of your time and you will know you found the right place to train. It will change your life as it did mine. read more

Sky Martial Arts - Kamen Family Korea Trip - Taekwondo Near Me - Dublin, California

Sky martial arts is a great studio to learn not only taekwondo but important life skills. Here instructors focus on respect for others, perseverance, and self-confidence. Grandmaster Yoon and master Andrew are heavily involved in the world taekwondo community, constantly attending seminars and tournaments to stay current on poomsae and sparring. Personally, Grandmaster Yoon has encouraged me to never give up on myself, while giving me life advice based on his own experiences. Sky martial arts is a place to learn taekwondo, and more importantly a place to become a better person and gain family. read more

I love how Master Andrew and Grand Master treat their students with dignity and respect, while maintaining discipline and flexibility. This studio has a great teacher to student ratio and the attention each child gets from teacher is fantastic. read more

My son is going to sky martial arts for 2+ years now. Grand master Yoon and Master Andrew provide excellent training for all levels. Master not only creates an environment of discipline and respect but also a sense of fun and enjoyment. My son enjoys being here. read more

Called this place to inquire about signing up, whoever answered the phone didn't want to give me the time of day, nor even answer a simple question, instead he just replied with "No time for new" and hung up. I then tried to e-mail them via their website, needless to say it's been over 3 weeks and still no reply. read more

I trained under Grand Master Yoon for several years and I have too many wonderful things to say to list them all here. I could probably fill ten pages with all of my wonderful experiences. He is a brilliant instructor, as are his sons, for both adults and children. He is one of the kindest instructors you will ever meet, but is also a very strict disciplinarian: the "yes sir, yes ma'am" and bowing are enforced. I found his classes to be fun, extremely challenging, and very rewarding. He also teaches other Korean martial arts, and he has training trips to Korea every year for children and adults. His classes are relatively inexpensive, but it's intentional; he knows he could charge a lot more, but he doesn't. He also runs a tournament, partners with other instructors, and brings in guest instructors from Korea and the US, so the variety of subjects you can learn is huge. The studio is also very family-oriented; your home life and your training will become linked (ie., kids have to behave for their parents or they get discipline in the studio, push-ups or whatever), and your taekwondo classmates really do become your other family. Best things about training under Master Yoon - the short list: 1. The harder you work, the more rewarding class is. I never found a "plateau" where the training got boring or where there was never more to learn. 2. Master Yoon and the other instructors are safety-conscious. I had only minor injuries over several years, and they know when something is serious enough to stop training or when to work through the pain. One of the instructors might still be an RN? 3. Most of the students are just as dedicated as you are. His programs are difficult and he is a strict disciplinarian, so you have to choose to adapt yourself to his workout routines. There is no room for laziness or rudeness. (Especially during group squats or push ups - everyone needs to put in the same amount of effort and enthusiasm.) 4. Imagine training under Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chuck Norris. COMBINED. 5. He tries to understand U.S. customs. He immigrated from Korea and while he lives a more culturally Korean lifestyle, he makes an effort to accommodate American peculiarities to make his training cross-cultural. I was very honored to have him as my taekwondo master. read more

A friend referred us to Sky Martial Arts, but we had instructor no-shows for two private lessons. We've never had direct experience, because we've moved on to another studio. Two starts to give credit for quick return calls when we left messages complaining about the no-shows. read more

This is a great place to study Tae Kwon Do. Even though I am a TKD drop out, I do still attend twice weekly kick boxing classes which are AWESOME. They are dirt cheap- 3 months for $100. Also my good friend teaches the class - lol. She's a black belt! read more

Wonderful place to learn discipline, respect, and build self confidence. My daughter has been a student for 3 years and we appreciate Grand Master Yoon & Master Andrew's leadership and support. Highly recommend this school !!! read more

Sky Martial Arts is the best martial arts school. The masters that conduct the classes are excellent. The class that is conducted for the kids, not only makes them physically fit, but the masters also teach the kids important life lessons. I went to many schools in the area before finalizing that I wanted my son to enroll in Sky Martial Arts. The school has a very strong family based value system. They constantly teach the kids the value of hard work, keeping good health , respecting your elders and peers, how practice makes perfect , cleanliness, responsibility. I have observed that my son is at his receptive best when he is in this class, so learning key values I think is a very big advantage. The games that kids play during the classes not only make them more fit, but the masters make it a point to teach the kids some valuable lesson during that game. Master Joe is an excellent teacher. All teachers are very focused and very sincere. The best thing about this school is that the kids watch young generation role models that they can look up to. Kids show their academic achievements at the end of the classes and they are applauded by their peers. 'Sky' focuses on overall and wholesome development of the kid, which is amazing. The testing and training also encourages kids to shed their inhibitions on "public speaking". I have seen my son's physical fitness quotient rise with every class he takes. I would strongly recommend Sky Martial Arts read more

My daughter has been going here for 3 years. I have been very impressed. Grand master Yoon and master Andrew are very dedicated to the success of each student as a whole, not just as an accomplished martial artist, but also as a good and responsible human being. There are a lot of martial arts institutions in East Bay, but I believe that not everyone is created equal. This place is definitely one of the top institutions. I am so glad that I had signed my daughter up here. read more

Sky Martial Arts is a top notch school! I have been bringing my son here for the last few years and I've seen so much growth in his confidence, strength and attitude. The instructors including Grandmaster Yoon are all wonderful. They are so patient and kind with the kids. You have to earn your belts and achievements which is so important in your child's growth. My son feels so proud of himself when he earns a new belt because he knows the hard work paid off and that he actually earned it. They not only focus on the child in the studio but they require you fill out weekly report cards stating how they are doing in school, at home and in their life. It's a very helpful tool. The Lux family is so honored to be a part of the Sky family for many years to come. read more

One of the best places ANYWHERE to learn true Korean Tae Kwon Do! Grandmaster Yoon is a treasure - in his youth, World Champion. Now, he is a highly educated leader of dedicated students. I frequently travel on business to the Bay Area - I always make time (and long commutes) to train with Grandmaster and his sons. I cherish each of the training sessions. If you live here, you are lucky to receive such high quality instruction. read more

I am training elsewhere now but can honestly say that his cirriculum is among the best. His belt testing is more rigorous than other styles that I have studied which include Goju Ryu, Shito Ryu and Kenpo. He was very helpful in resurrecting my martial arts career and helped me win a national tournament in Synchronized Tae Kwon Do with my wife. If you are willing to work, you will learn here. Peace and Blessings Master!! read more

Sky Martial Arts is a nice place to send my kids to Taekwondo. The instructors always take the time to make sure that people get the basics right, which results in better execution of the forms. 100% recommend! read more

Grandmaster Yoon has been an influential figure not only in my life, but also in the Taekwondo community as well. He is a world champion, dedicated master to his students, and also a family man that has taught his children principles that people have forgotten in today's day and age. Grandmaster Yoon's sons Joseph and Andrew are well trained instructors that have shared the wonderful tradition of Korean martial arts to everybody they meet and more. This is definitely a place to go for people that truly want to learn martial arts. read more

My son has been a member of this Taekwondo studio for over 3 years and it has been an overwhelming positive experience for him. The instructors in this studio are incredible especially with kids and teens. They are clearly masters of this martial art form and it shows in the instruction they provide. Also, the community of students and teaching assistants and parents are all supportive and create a culture of learning and excellence. Grandmaster Yoon is not only one of the most accomplished Taekwondo grandmasters, but is is very humble and works so well with kids. He not only creates an environment of discipline and respect but also a sense of fun and enjoyment. I can't think of a better Taekwando studio. read more

Great studio!! Our entire family attends the family classes. They have really worked with us to support our two special needs children. This is something I really recommend for parents whose children are on the autism spectrum. While they are not experts in special needs children, they have worked so hard with us to provide such a caring and warm environment. They are always coming back to us to find out additional ways to reach and support our kids. They develop accommodations when our kids test (especially for my youngest who is speech delayed). I'm always impressed with how they can get our kids to push themselves and how much affection our kids have for all of the instructors. This is a great family atmosphere that promotes respect, discipline, health, positive attitudes, and nurturing! They get my highest rating! read more

Good for kids, novices, ring techniques and a cardio workout. Other than that, not for me. I have sparred with several of the world champions that Grandmaster Yoon has produced, and am not impressed. I was told that it would be $20 a week that turned into 168.00 a week. After I decided NOT to send my children to this establishment, I was hit with a bill for 1,458.29 by a COLLECTION agency! Before I cancelled my credit card was debited, for classes that we did not use and I was never credited nor given my classes. I would not suggest this place at all. There are plenty of other quality martial arts studios that would appreciate your business and cherish your needs better. read more

After responding to a promotional ad, I soon realized that this place was full of you know what. I was told that it would be $20 a week that turned into 168.00 a week. After I decided NOT to send my children to this establishment, I was hit with a bill for 1,458.29 by a COLLECTION agency! Before I cancelled my credit card was debited, for classes that we did not use and I was never credited nor given my classes. I would not suggest this place at all. There are plenty of other quality martial arts studios that would appreciate your business and cherish your needs better. Stay Away, if not don't say that you were not warned. read more

Good for kids, novices, ring techniques and a cardio workout. Other than that, not for me. I have sparred with several of the world champions that Grandmaster Yoon has produced, and am not impressed. They lack patience, timing, humility and REAL self control. Not a one could handle real world situations or even land a solid hit on me to save their lives... literally. Like I said... good for kids and novices, period. read more

While the teachers and students were nice, we found all of the fees (for uniforms, belts, testing, equipments,etc.) and the minimum one year contract (with an early termination fee equal to two months) highly dis-tasteful. read more

Under the direction of Grand Master Yoon (9th degree black belt), Master Andrew and Master Bossant have an amazing program. The curriculum, the instruction, the attention to each child is like no other. With many black belt instructors to assist the masters, the instructor to student ratio can be as low as 2 or 3 to 1. The curriculum works the kids hard, but makes them want to earn their black belts. The discipline, confidence and strength my son has gained through this program is immeasurable. As a parent I greatly appreciate how they are also concerned about the child as a whole with weekly home report cards and class recognition of personal accomplishments outside of tae kwon do. When you join Sky, you join a family and the Weiss family is so very proud to be a part of this family! read more

Sky Martial Arts is one of the best Tae Kwon Do schools in California. 9th Dan Grandmaster Jun Yoon is a world-renowned, extremely accomplished Grandmaster of Tae Kwon Do. I respect him very much as a Grandmaster, person, and role model. I am positive that I speak for his students when I say that we look up to him not only for his incredible Tae Kwon Do skill, but also for his character and humility. Master Joseph Yoon, Master Andrew Yoon, Master Phillip Bossant, and all of the Instructors under Grandmaster's direction are top notch, knowledgeable, deeply care for the students, and professional. I would give my highest recommendation to join and learn Tae Kwon Do at Sky Martial Arts! read more

SKY is an exceptional place. Having tried a few other martial arts studios in the area and not being overly impressed I brought my two boys to SKY two years ago and it has been an absolute revelation. I would say three things raise SKY above everyone else: 1. Genuine Provenance. Grandmaster Yoon is a world-class practitioner, coach and referee of Taekwondo. His resume is second to none. We are extremely lucky to have someone of this calibre in California, let alone the East Bay. It is only because he is very humble and modest that the studio doesn't shout about it. It truly is an amazing opportunity for people to learn from a genuine Grandmaster. 2. Atmosphere. Grandmaster Yoon and his son Master Andrew set a wonderful tone between discipline and mentoring. Yes, it can be strict and the school expects good behavior, effort and determination but it is also very loving, supportive and acts like an extended family. People here are so kind and friendly. It is an absolutely fantastic environment for kids to learn and grow as individuals as well as Taekwondo exponents. No one is pushed too hard, no one is ever made to feel second-best or embarrassed. Everything is done in a disciplined but kind and caring atmosphere. There is a holistic approach whereby learning the martial art goes hand-in-hand with developing the person, such as their self-discipline, self-control, self-confidence, honor and integrity. 3. SKY produces winners. The provenance and background of Grandmaster Yoon (and Master Andrew) combined with the disciplined but extremely supportive environment means that SKY produces some of the best Taekwondo martial artists in California and beyond. This is because they are taught correctly in every aspect of the martial art (technique) and their own character: (confidence, respect and honor). I salute you SKY and thank you for all you do. read more

The Tri-Valley and east Bay area is very fortunate to have Grand Master Yoon and Sky Martial Arts (look at the website and see Grand Masters credentials and you will see why!). My son, currently 9 years old, has been attending this studio for approximately 10 months and has grown in his knowledge and skill of TaeKwonDo as he works through his belts but more importantly in his focus, self control and discipline. The curriculum and instruction does work the students hard but the instructors truly care for the student's character in equal measure to their ability to learn the art of TKD. The students are held accountable for their behaviour and attitude through weekly report cards and the studio celebrates achievement. The camaraderie and friendships that have developed creates a healthy and fun environment for both the students and their families. We feel blessed to be a part of the Sky family! read more
