As parents of a five-year-old girl interested in studying martial arts. Intrigued, we decided to visit, but I deeply regret wasting my time. The staff showed no effort in answering even the simplest yes-or-no question," How can I enroll my daughter in your establishment" and asked us to leave because "parents aren't allowed." I'm certainly not going to leave my daughter in a place she's never been, with people I don't know. If that's the attitude they teach, I'd rather look elsewhere. read more

It all started with a trial class, little did I know that this place would be like a second home to me. I have been part of White Tiger Martial Arts for about 7 years now and consider myself fortunate to train with Master Yoo. They run an amazing TKD program which is great for children and adults needing some good physical and mental discipline along with very important self-defense skills. Personally, it has helped me with the mind-body unification and to develop strength, technique and self confidence. Over the period of time I have learned to apply it to all other aspects of my life as well. Both Master and Mrs Yoo are amazing and have this great ability to connect with their students. It shows that they care. Couldn't have asked for better instructors. Master Yoo is stern yet kind and playful. He brings out your best in the class. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a great martial arts training, it's a fun place for families to do TKD together. read more

Great place for kids. Master Yoo is great with the kids. Mrs.Yoo is very kind and nice but when she has to be strict- the kids better do what she says. My son has been going here for a year now. And he loves it. One thing though, WTMATKD is geared towards kids for sure. And they do a great job at it. read more

My two boys (aged 10 and 12) and I have been attending White Tiger for 3 years. I feel so lucky to have found this school and to know Master and Mrs. Yoo and the other instructors. While there are other Martial Arts schools in the neighborhood, I'm confident that this is the best. Here's why: 1) Master Yoo is the absolute right mix of tough and patient, 2) the facility is top-notch, and lastly, 3) two words: HOME RULES (example: I will not interrupt adult conversations! YAY!). That's right, White Tiger's philosophy that the study of Martial Arts extends to your character and your life outside of the dojang (training center) has made a real difference in our family and can help yours too! read more

This is THE place to come if you are looking for a Martial Arts school. It is vital that the adults/teachers/coaches in your child's circle of influence are trustworthy people who are helping them to become their best-selves while teaching and modeling admirable core values. Master and Mrs. Yoo, as well as the other instructors, do an excellent job with determining individual student needs. They get to know each of their students and what motivates them and are dedicated to helping everyone reach his/her own potential and overcome personal obstacles. This doesn't stop at Tae Kwon Do class- Master Yoo follows up on school and home progress and behavior as well. This school cares about the well-being of the students all around. Our entire family has taken Tae Kwon Do at White Tiger with Master Yoo. The journey began 6 years ago with our son's membership and we now have three black belts in our family~ including my husband! I attribute many of my children's successes beyond Tae Kwon Do to their time spent at White Tiger Martial Arts. In addition to becoming even more athletically coordinated and learning the sport and art of Tae Kwon Do, they've strengthened their goal setting skills, perseverance, inner strength, positive attitude, team and partner work, understanding of rules and boundaries and respect toward others. They are leaders in their classrooms, are motivated and conscientious in their work and have respect for those around them. The influence of Tae Kwon Do has helped to maintain balance in our family dynamic at home as well. As with everything, parental involvement matters... and Master Yoo and Mrs. Yoo welcome and encourage parent and family involvement. Classes and tests are especially great to watch and Master Yoo makes them enjoyable and entertaining for the observers! If you want to give your family the best training in Tae Kwon Do, this is where you'll find it~ check out the website for Master Yoo's long list of credentials! Sign up for a trial lesson and come to watch a class :). You'll love it! read more

Love this place. Master Yoo is the perfect balance of stern and playful. He's incredibly knowledgable and encouraging. He's patient but he pushes the kids just enough. He's ALWAYS present and teaching and Mrs. Yoo is always around to help teach or communicate with parents and students alike. My son likes it too and he's quite sensitive. We've been going for nearly a year and have no plans to stop. read more

My son and I have been taking classes here for the last two years. This is our first martial arts experience, so I don't have much to compare to, but I do know that Master Yoo is a very competent teacher and is great with children. He runs the school with his wife, and they are very family-oriented. This would be the perfect place to go if you have children, or would like to learn martial arts with your children. read more

My brother and I are currently going to this martial arts school here and love it! Master Yoo is a fun and incredibly skilled teacher. I also like the help from all of the assistant instructors. I always feel like I can rely on white tiger martial arts to have fun and enjoy Taekwondo. White tiger martial arts is like my second home and I am looking forward to many more great memories here in the future. read more

We moved our son to White Tiger from another local Taekwondo facility because we felt the other place lacked discipline and structure. We are SO HAPPY with the move!!! We have seen a drastic change in our sons ability to focus and in his discipline both in class and at home! We're only sorry we didn't start out here to begin with. This place is absolutely the real deal! Master Yoo is strict, but in the best way. He expects a lot from his students, and he gets a lot, but he's there helping with every step. Master Yoo instructs every class, with at least 3 other instructors on the mat at all times. So everyone who needs instruction is getting it! I can't say enough about this place! If you're serious about getting yourself or your child into TKD, come here!!! read more

When you shop for TKD place to join, watch sabum-nim(instructor) and how he conducts in front of his students. You will find several places where their sabum is out of shape or they have black belt students teaching instead. You do not want these places to learn TKD. Yoo sabum-nim still practices TKD everyday and it shows. He still can do most difficult spin kicks, high axe kicks above his head and can do full leg splits. He is most polite yet firm and do not tolerate disrespect from his students. He will spend extra time with you so that you are learning the right way and will not hand out belts based on time or money. He will care about you as his pupil and want you to work hard but have a good time doing it. read more

Love this place, hands down. Instructors are always trying to make you better, stronger, and more disciplined. I do karate with both of my boys here and they love it. read more

When our younger son turned 6 years old, we could not wait to enroll him in a Taekwondo school. We looked at a couple of schools nearby but were not too impressed. My goddaughter (who was a student of Master Yoo at that time)recommended us to check out White Tiger Martial Arts School (WTMA). We did, and fast forward to today, our son is now a very proud black belt student of Master Yoo. He has been attending WTMA for over 4 years and he loves it! All the instructors, especially Master Yoo and Mrs. Yoo do such excellent jobs, their dedication and passion in Taekwondo show in the way they teach and mentor their students. My husband and I love and truly appreciate the fact that our son is not only learning great Taekwondo skills but also being taught "GMRC" - Good Manners and Right Conduct, power words, home rules, and other good character habits. WTMA is definitely a place where every student excels and we consider it to be "the best Taekwondo school". WTMA also has a great "Before and After School Club", so check them out as well! read more
