    My three kids had been doing taekwondo here, from when this business started in West Covina…read more(Seafood City plaza), moved to Tokyo Central plaza, then to this location next to Dominos. I did not have any comparison for other tkd center. As I was happy being here before, years after years this place is declining rapidly. From so many great instructors,down to one instructor, Rolando Lopez who are very unprofessional and lacking customer service. So many times I went there to renew or pay monthly membership (especially with so many people being scammed here), and Lopez also replied did not know when the owner, Han, would be there. At the same time, noone worked in the front desk to help parents. Rolando and Han often unprofessionally made comments "I love you, " "I hate you" to the kids. Or pretending going to hit their heads even though it was joking. If I didnt do that to my kids at home, why would I pay for them to go somewhere to be treated like that. Should had reported to the taekwondo safeguarding agency. And when I talked to the "owner" Han, he talked negatively about other tkd centers and even his previous coaches. He kept saying they all stole money from him. If they were, how could it be a repeated offence? Not to make ugly comments, I couldnt renew my kids memberships because Han never there and Lopez too head big, power hungry acted running the place but "Audrey didnt teach me how to do the venmo payments so if it didnt show up in our system your fine" comments, and verbally assaulting my children verbally stating they all going back to white belts, despite of their years of dedication. When it summer, they let the kids almost having heat stroke due to extreme heat and they were too cheap to fix their ac system. Maybe the fund got stolen again. My son black belt test cost $800 and Han did not even provide the official black belt license from Korea, the international certification. He took and scammed every pennies he could. I was able to reach out to the international korean agency and they sent my son the official black belt license/ certification but had to pay out of pocket even though Han already charged that money to me. And why Rolando Lopez as the staff there leaving 5 star reviews for this business? That was nepotism right there and just an input, when you wanted to leave a review, double correct your grammar using microsoft words or grammarly. His feedback was unrelated, poorly presented and lack of content.

    This used to be a great place to enroll kids for martial arts, but ever since the new management…read moretook over, the quality and safety have gone downhill. There's very little oversight during classes, and it honestly feels like safety is no longer a priority. I've personally seen several kids get hurt, and what concerns me most is that the instructors don't seem to step in until after something happens. During sparring sessions, the kids are basically left to figure things out on their own with almost no guidance or supervision. For a program that's supposed to teach discipline and proper technique, it's disappointing to see how unstructured things have become. I really hoped things would improve, but after watching this happen repeatedly, I no longer feel comfortable recommending this place to any parent. Kids deserve a safe environment to learn, and unfortunately, this is no longer one of them.

    I cannot say enough good things about SK Taekwondo. Master Jung is an incredible teacher with…read morepatience, charisma, excellent teaching methods, and the warmest heart. He is so great with every age group. I've seen him work with children of all ages, teens, and adults - it takes great skills to be able to work with everyone. My daughter joined when she was young and had absolutely no athletic experience. She gained so much agility, strength, balance, and confidence. SK Taekwondo not only teaches taekwondo, but also the importance of responsibilities at home and school, to be humble and kind, and to have focus in all that they do. They get rewarded for doing well in school or doing something notable at home or in the community. I think that is just as valuable as learning taekwondo. My daughter has gone from not even knowing how to do one sit up to competing in a taekwondo tournament. She loves taekwondo and looks forward to achieving each belt. I hope my youngest daughter will join when she's a little older. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. I also love how the class times are divided in a way to avoid large numbers in each class. Note that the class schedule changes from time to time. There's also a Daiso next door and it actually comes in handy when you want to encourage your kid(s) after class. If you join the Black Belt Club, you can take sparring, board breaking, and weapons classes on Thursday and Friday. I highly recommend SK Taekwondo. They have become family to us.

    Our family has been training at Sektor in Rowland Heights for about a year now and we absolutely…read morelove it. My three kids and I train regularly and it has become a big part of our lives. The gym is clean, well run, and has a great atmosphere. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about the students, especially the kids. We have seen a huge difference in our kids confidence, discipline, and overall attitude since starting here. What really makes Sektor special is the people. Everyone is friendly, supportive, and easy to be around. It feels like a real community, not just a place to train. Our kids trained for the first six months and kept pushing me to try it. After my first class and realizing how great the workout was, I signed up too, and now we all train together. We are very grateful to be part of the Sektor family and highly recommend it to everyone.

    Way overdue review, but so well deserved…read more We live 30 minutes away and tried this academy three years ago when it had just opened with only a few students. Even with the long commute and traffic, we've never left and that says everything. What truly sets this place apart is the structure and quality of instruction. The coaches don't just run a class, they teach with intention and they make it fun for the kids! Every session builds on fundamentals, focuses on proper technique, and reinforces discipline, respect, and mat awareness. They break movements down in a way that makes sense for both kids and adults, making sure you understand not just what to do, but why you're doing it. When we've competed, our coaches were there every step of the way, guiding, supporting, and coaching us through every match. We felt prepared, confident, and never alone. They teach our kids to compete with skill and integrity using clean, legal techniques they can be proud of. They are incredibly patient with both kids and adults. 4 of 5 of our kids train here, and my husband does too! It's truly become a family journey for us. Along the way, we've built friendships that extend far beyond the mats. This academy is structured, competitive, and disciplined, but the best part is the heart behind it. The community here is special. The families we've met have become part of our lives in a way that simply can't be replaced. Hands down, would recommend this academy to anyone!
