My son has been attending Warrior Taekwondo for a while now, and we've had a genuinely wonderful experience. Master Raya is not just an instructor -- he's a true mentor. His patience, dedication, and commitment to his students' personal growth are unmatched. He teaches taekwondo, but he also teaches respect, discipline, confidence, and character, which is just as important. Yes, classes may sometimes run a little over but it's never an extra charge or inconvenience. You can take your kid home if you need to leave early but most parents usually stay the extra time because Master Raya genuinely cares about teaching, not just the clock. If he feels a child needs a bit more time to understand a technique or build confidence, he gives it without hesitation. As a paying parent, I deeply appreciate that level of genuine care. Another thing that speaks volumes: almost all the kids come five days a week because they want to be there. The program is strong, the environment is positive, and the community feels like a big supportive family. My son looks forward to every class. We're truly grateful for the passion, integrity, and heart Master Raya puts into every session. Warrior Taekwondo is built strong and it starts with a strong leader. Highly recommend! read more

Master Raya is such an amazing teacher and inspiration to all our little and big warriors alike. Not only does he provide taekwondo lessons for all levels, he also teaches acrobatics and nunchuck skills as well. The warriors learn ITF, as well as WTF and they are all very disciplined and determined to learn and grow. We are all very close and it feels like a community here at Master Raya's Dojo! He spends many hours here and it shows in his skill level and his devotion to his art. Thank you master Raya for all you do!! Where's your Kia?!? read more

Master Raya is the best! He has dedicated his life to Taekwondo since the age of 7. He has earned a 6th degree blackbelt, and it shows. His physical abilities are a true marvel. When he lets loose and shows off his skills his students and the parents watching are always in awe. My son has been training at Warrior Taekwondo for almost 2 years. In this time we have found that not only does Master Raya put his heart and soul into the success of each child's progress in learning taekwondo, but he also cares about their character. When my son wasn't paying attention in school I mentioned it to Master Raya. He proved how much he cares by having a heart to heart conversation with my son about the importance of showing respect and discipline in school, home, and in life. It takes a village to raise children, and Master Raya is an important part of my child's village and life. Training with Master Raya has improved many aspects of my son's physicality. He has become very flexible, focused, strong, confident, and agile. He has gained a passion for Taekwondo, and I credit this to the passion that Master Raya has for training his students mind, body, soul, and spirit. Thank you Master Raya for all you do for each and every student. You are truly a gifted teacher in the art of Taekwondo. read more

My son is almost a Black belt and Master Raya is making sure he earns the black belt and doesn't rush him through the belts like some of the other places. My son has gained a lot of confidence, respect for others and an interest in pushing himself physically while having a good time! He has tried basketball, soccer, baseball and track (disliked each) and this is the only sport he has been willing to do and with great enthusiasm!! read more

Master Raya and his school have set a high bar for TKD schools. My wife started this year, and has been inspired by Master Raya's teaching skills and work ethic. Our peers are often surprised by the level of knowledge and skill that my wife has shown in such a short time, and it is due to the dedication of Master Raya and the services that he offers. My wife attends four days a week, and it is a source of mental release, aerobic exercise and skill development that fuels her desire to return each week. Warrior TKD is worth the investment at every level. Thank you Master Raya ! read more

Master Raya is a real teacher, and knows when to be strict and when to loosen the reigns and let the kids act their age. It's been great for our son who is learning that he has to really earn his promotions, and just as importantly is benefitting greatly from Master Raya's kind but firm patience. I don't think you'll find a better teacher or role model. read more

This is the only Taekwondo Dojo that teaches both Southern (WTF) and Northern (ITF) styles. Master Raya is a fifth degree black belt in both ITF and WTF. The forms/patterns are different for ITF and WTF, and learning both is a challenge but no other Taekwondo master in Southern California teaches both. Talk about energy, Master Raya really wants his students to be passionate about martial arts, and his passion and energy are evident for each of his classes starting from white belt to black belt. Master Raya is disciplined and expects the same discipline from his students. You have to earn your belt, its not just given to you. I highly recommend Warrior Taekwondo School for all ages. read more

My son has been attending the Warrior TKD school for over a year and we are extremely happy with Master Raya. Within only a few months after starting at Warrior, I saw incredible progress in my son's ability to focus (body and mind) and my son has surprised himself with what he's been able to accomplish. What I really appreciate about Master Raya is that he emphasis on key skills needed to be exceptional in martial arts; he not only teaches technique, but also works on their flexibility, strength, and acrobatics. This really sets Master Raya's students apart as they have a strong foundation to build on. He truly cares about the students and excepts nothing short of excellence from them, which is why he tirelessly invests in them. Our family is grateful for Master Raya and all the effort he puts into teaching our son and other kids. read more
