WARN NOT TO BE FOOLED! The owner, master Shin is not a trustworthy person. I don't recommend this place! ***** WARN NOT TO BE FOOLED!! ***** I was looking for a guy who was the owner of "Shin A PLUS Tae Kwon DO" in Corona, California. Warn not to be fooled even he got a different name of school, "US Taekwondo Center" This man is the same person of old school: Shin A PLUS Tae Kwon DO (or Shin's A+ Tae Kwon Do) Old address: 160 W Foothill Pkwy Corona, CA 92882, Same phone number 951-817-1236 See yelp reviews, please search "Shin A PLUS Tae Kwon DO" in Corona CA.... The owner, master Shin is not a trustworthy person. I don't recommend this place, he is a CROOK!! WARN NOT TO BE FOOLED! ======================================================================== = = Written By Sumesh B. @ Laguna Hills, CA = = = The owner is a the most unprofessional guy I have ever met. He is a big cheater and a crook when it comes to payment. I signed my 2 boys with him for a 6 week trial period. I made the payment for the trial period and I also paid him for my kids first yellow belt test. He told me about the fee he is going to charge for 12 months after the trial period is over. But after the six weeks trial period was over, he changed from his own words. Now he wants me to pay a different fee for 12 months which was much more than what he originally stated. When I asked him why he was changing from his own words, he didn't listen to me and started being very rude. I think, thats how he is tricking people and making more money from them. I just came to know from a friend that Shin was suppose to refund them some money but he never did. When my friend asked for their money, Shin said do whatever you can. Beware and be very cautious of his business practices. ======================================================================== = = Written By D.D. @ Rancho Santa Margarita, CA = = = Their OC school abruptly shut down with no warning and we are still owed a lot of money. The business owner even admitted he owed us money, told us that he would not pay us back and we'd have to take him to court to get our money. We have since won a court judgement against this business and they still will not pay us back the money owed to us. Very unprofessional. Not qualified to teach honor and respect to children when they treat loyal customers in this manner. Be cautious of their business practices! ======================================================================== = = Written By First G. @ Torrance, CA = = = Do yourself a favor. Shin A plus is a dishonor to Taekwondo. He only wants your money. This is the third time his business closed and reopened. He started his business in Orange County and closed. He then moved in Ontario and closed the business without informing the parents and students. He does not have a consistent tuition fee for the student. He will try to attract you with his low cost on trial period but once you are ready to sign up he will charge A LOT!!!! He does not deserve the A+. He should be called F+ or Shit F+. I have seen several incidence where he had a fight or closed door with parents arguing about m$ney. During testing, he will try to embarrass your kids by asking question that he never thought. He will charge you extra for competition training which should have been part of his curriculum. If you do not want to pay, he will just look at you and let you train by yourself and watch you fail in the competition. He will try to discourage your kids for sparring competition. Every two months he will ask you to pay for your kids testing for promotion even though your kids are not ready. He will not disclose to you how many test is required for Blackbelt so he will ask your kid for additional testing. He will charge you extra for processing Blackbelt certification and he will turn in your form to Korea very late so that you will spend more time at his dojang so he can charge you more. During the competition day, he will come in late and will just be walking around instead of coaching his students. If you want a refund, forget about it. He will never give it to you. He will try to make all the excuses not to pay you including claiming that he does not have money to refund your money but he drives a BMW 7series. He will even tell you to take him to the court which he has already a plan so he will never ever have to pay you. Again... DO NOT SIGN UP FOR HIS Taekwondo school. He is a DISGRACE! He lost a lot of good students, lost trust from parents, closed and relocated schools and lost excellent instructors and even a nice wife (divorced). He is a perfect example of INSANE....

A man is only as good as his word. I want to share our personal experience about the US Taekwondo Center at 2363 California Ave, Corona, CA 92881. First off, we picked this particular center as it was located conveniently close to home and it did not have any reviews as it was a new center. I highly urge you not to consider this center for Taekwondo for your children as the owner who is also the instructor not only lacks integrity but is a seasoned scam artist. Our daughter was only 4 and to build her confidence my husband decided to attend classes with her too. We signed a one year contract in March 2014 with Mr. Shin (owner) and the package we signed up for also came with 2 free uniforms; However, after a few months into the contract, due to my husband's new work schedule, it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to attend the classes. He then had a meeting with Mr. Shin do discuss if he could break the contract and create a new one. Mr. Shin suggested that instead of breaking the contract, and losing $200 he would give us an additional 6 months (April -Sept 2015) for our daughter after the contract expired (he then had 50% off for the second person). We accepted the offer as it was fair and kept the contract as is; little did we know that he was playing us. A week after the last payment was made in January 2015, Mr. Shin wanted to discuss a new contract!! My husband and I went to meet him. He said he couldn't let us continue for 6 months after the contract expired in March 2015! He wanted us to sign a new one year contract first and then make 7 payments, after which he would give us 5 months credit (note 6 months went down to 5 months; this was after reducing cost ($100) of the supposedly "free" uniform). On asking why he wouldn't honor his own words he simply said "IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!" and this he suddenly decided after 9 months. The brilliance of his plan was to promise us 6 months so that we don't break the contract, then wait until the last payment was made to make the final move!!! He had a legal foolproof plan as he did not make any amendments to the contract. All he changed was his word!!! When we send our children to a Master to learn from, we obviously hold them to a higher standard. This man is no master he's just a greedy, crafty, dishonorable man. We pulled our daughter at that very moment even though we still had 2 months on the contract. He doesn't see innocent children, all he sees is dollar signs running around. Who is to say after dropping your child off and at pick up time they are not there?? He is somebody who would say "YOU NEVER DROPPED YOUR CHILD OFF"!! That's the kind of unscrupulous man at play here. We work 18 hrs/day so that we can give our children more than we ever had and to be blatantly cheated was truly shocking. For all unsuspecting parents out there, let our experience never be yours. It was simply heartbreaking!! read more

I agree with the review above.....his rates are just unreasonable in comparison to other centers.....he charges $75 for every level testing too (God knows for what!! ) Also, this is a very unhygienic center; after class my legs are caked with black colored dirt from months of uncleansed sweat and who knows what else. I even a had an infection on my heels as the result. read more
