“I have nothing but great things to say about Kenpo Pasadena. My daughter has been enrolled in karate a little over a year now. She’s built so much confidence, and her behavior has improved and she’s shown so much growth and consistency. Not only is she learning self discipline and confidence, she’s now apart of a community that encourages her, and shows her respect, self discipline and encouragement. Sensei Anto and sensei Marine are amazing and really make you feel like everyone is family. My daughter enjoys Sensei Dominic, sensei Aram, and sensei Vaughn. All the best! Kenpo has made us feel part of a strong community and has made us feel supported in many ways. Ms.Natalie also is so attentive, kind and really goes above and beyond. We plan to stay with Kenpo Pasadena for a long time.“

The students were not trained in the same base of martial arts as me, yet picked up the necessary actions impressively quickly, indicative of much skill and practice. Master Anzu was also very knowledgeable of his craft and teaching. I would love to learn and train with them more, and you should too!“

If you want your kid to be able to defend themselves from bullying or any situation, this is a perfect choice. Great coaches and great prices. It’s worth it.“

“I’m a black belt here at TMAX, and my experience here for the past 4+ years has been nothing but great! The instructors are always nice and they do an astounding job at handling the super loud toddlers that keep screaming “6-7.” In most cases, this is just a fun thing for your kid to do while you go out and do fun things without the burden of a child holding you back; but kids that are serious about Taekwondo WILL get really good thanks to the help of the masters. Many of my peers here have the most amazing kicks, and morale is always high. Whether you want to get some great levels of discipline, great skills in martial arts, or just have something fun to do, then TMAX is the right place for you!“

“Come and check out the newest dojo in Alhambra!! Friendly, respectful and fun - come check it out for an introductory class today.“

“The studio is NOT glamorous but you can see and feel the dedication of the students from there. Younger students are encouraged to try their best and excell in all faucets of their life. Adults in the classes attend to learn and improve skills, all egos are checked at the door. The parking lot does leave alot to be desired. Lines can't be seen very easily and some other patrons of the little shopping strip make up their own parking rules...“

“This is very good place, their way of teaching is great. I always look foward to going to practice, we are like one big happy and strong family! The training is great, i have learned so much and its a great experience.“
