Never trust Jin who may be the owner or the top manager. They are money driving. Their Rules and…read morepolicies are to discipline you to pay the money. No customer service. Do not make request.

My son was there for years 5 days a week. That is the only request at TG during these years. It ended up I came to here to write this review. Never use your money to support this kind business!!!

Reached out to the owner and the entire process was completely professional. Todd (takuraba) is extremely responsive, open to questions and spent as much time for all the questions I had. My gf was interested in putting her daughter in this program. She is currently 13 and in the tkd and self defense class. The very same day I spoke with Todd she was in a free trial class. He personally spends time working with every student to train, explain and ultimately mentor them. His ability to instantly develop trust wih all age groups is uncanny. I have seen him work this magic with age groups 5 all the way to adults. You can't teach this. It is insane how fast he accomplishes this. From the very first class she has been hooked. Loving every minute of it and wanting to return each and every week. After the first class on the drive home we asked if she liked it and she said it was OK but she couldn't stop smiling so it was an obvious giveaway. While I have been speaking about the owner a lot I can't forget to mention the other instructors who are also excellent communicators and very patient. The lessons/sessions are fun, informative and positive. Regardless of age, gender or athletic level... You will learn a lot and learn even more about yourself. This is a friendly and judgement free environment that you normally cannot find at most martial arts or self defense type programs. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. Come here with confidence knowing you or your loved ones will be well taken care of. Keep up the great work guys!

John Chang was hired by the City of Sunnyvale to teach Self Defense for Kids classes at one of…read moretheir summer camps. My daughter was in his class for less than an hour on one day last year; she was uncomfortable with the way he spoke to her, and with how he re-positioned her body. I have taught her that she doesn't have to do things that make her uncomfortable, and that her body is her own, and no one has the right to touch it without her consent. As such, we removed her from the class, as it was clearly a poor fit between student and instructor. This year, my daughter is at the same camp, but not registered in Mr. Chang's classes. He brought a snow cone machine to the camp, gave the students in his class snow cones, and then offered them for sale to the kids outside of his class. Because the camp was not informed of his intent to sell snow cones*, neither were the parents, and many kids did not have money to purchase. Mr. Chang told other coaches/instructors that, for the kids without cash, they could pick a camper who was very well-behaved to receive a free cone. A coach chose my daughter, which speaks to how well-behaved and agreeable she is. When my daughter went up to receive her cone, Mr. Chang asked if she were the student who stopped taking his class last year. She said yes. He then told her she wasn't good, and refused to give her the cone. She retreated, embarrassed, hurt, shamed, and in tears. She asked her other coach for space, and wept quietly until she pulled herself together and re-joined her group. She didn't complain, whine, or get angry. I approached Mr. Chang the next day to speak with him. He said that, a year ago, she "spoke down to him." I said, "She spoke down to you?! She is a child!" He clarified that she didn't listen when he told her to do things -- that ONE day, in that ONE class, for less than an hour, after her initial attempts left her uncomfortable. I applaud her for this: it's a children's recreational summer camp, not an army, and she was not comfortable acting on his orders or being touched by him. She didn't talk back to or sass him. For a grown man to hold a grudge like this with a child for an entire year, and punish her for it publicly, is ridiculous and petty. Even IF my child had been rude or disrespectful to him a year ago, her other coach identified her as well-behaved and deserving THIS year. This isn't about the snow cone, and it's not about martial arts or self-defense. This is about an instructor whose focus is on authority at all costs, who is insensitive and unkind, who holds grudges against children, and who expects respect but doesn't offer any. If your parenting style is one of absolute authority, obedience, and discipline, you might get along with him well. For those of us who teach self-awareness, self-protection, and empathy, I strongly recommend avoiding his teaching. * Soliciting children for money is not allowed at the camps. Had Mr. Chang requested permission to do this, he would have been denied.

John does not just teach martial arts. John helps children learn to respect and physical health as well as focus. He lets his students have fun but also lets them know that martial arts is also a serious sport. As far as the comments that John is rude, I would say that I have never observed this nor have ever been treated this way. If you're looking for a teacher that will also say yes to you or coddle your children, then don't go to John. However, if you want your child to learn, be disciplined and succeed in life as well as karate, then we highly recommend John Chang.

Over the past few months, I've noticed my body transforming, my technique improving and overall feeling healthier. Aside from learning proper technique, I notice I'm able to sleep better and feel a lot stronger. Kash, the instructor does an amazing job with his clients, giving them a challenge but in a way that's still catered to our level. I love that he always observes where we are struggling and targets that so we get better. Even with group settings, he still helps each client in their areas of need. I have always felt nervous about doing anything martial arts related but Kash has helped me with his constant encouragement and motivation. Every time I leave class, I feel better about the rest of my day. Kash always checks in, sees where his clients are at, is super flexible and will change exercises accordingly to his clients needs. I've taken kickboxing at other places but my love for kickboxing grew here at King Martial Arts. The level of care and passion that Kash has for what he does shows in the way he guides and supports his class. If you're looking to learn martial arts in a supportive, motivating while challenging environment, I highly recommend King Martial Arts Co!
