Definitely suggest to stop by and checkout their other services they provide.“

“We’ve been training at this gym for about 9 months now, and it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. I originally brought my kids in because they were shy and timid. From day one, the coaches and members were kind, respectful, and genuinely helpful. I'm in my 40's and decided to give it a shot.
Fast forward to now — my kids and I are more confident, social, and even competing. The growth hasn’t just been on the mats. We've taken the discipline, confidence, and work ethic that we learned into other areas of our lives. We're doing better at home, in school, at work, and in social settings.
The coaches are chill and laid back, but don’t let that fool you — they know how to push us to work hard and reach our goals. They created a culture that’s competitive yet supportive. It’s a safe, friendly environment, and that starts from the top with the leadership.
Grateful to be part of this team. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to build confidence, discipline, and resilience.“

“My kid has been in their program for a few months now and while he's had to put in a lot of work, the senseis are very good at teaching the kids and being patient. It's been very helpful for my child's attitude and attention.

Also, they just came in third at the Las Vegas tournament, which included dojos from 12 different countries.“

“Master Sohn and his instructors are absolutely wonderful. They are great with the students and keep them engaged. A typical group class will usually entail games to get the students giggling, solicited rounds of applause to acknowledge student's excellence/effort, and meticulous correction of form/behavior to cultivate discipline. My kid loves it and looks forward to his classes. His goal is black belt!“

“My grandson loves it, I just wished we could sit inside, specially when it's cold.“

“Great training session! Even though it was my first time visiting this school, Coach Dan took the time to work with me as well. People were very friendly. Thank you“

“If you're looking for a martial arts academy In east LA this place is for you and instructed by sensei orlando aka the scorpion“

“New breed is a great place to train, they were welcoming from day one it felt like family. The professors are there for you on and off the mats. There's a community among the staff and students. I now have been training for a little over a year now. I am grateful for the influence BJJ has put into my life at work, personal and even among peers. BJJ is a journey, it grows on you, it makes those long days feel easier. To me, my biggest gain is that I am less stressed with life, because I now have an outlet, that I enjoy very much. I navigate problems with more ease and critical thinking. Stop by and take that jump on those mats and have your own experience/journey. Osss!“

“Sifu Sun is an excellent teacher and his classes are incredible! Tai Chi Chuan is a beautiful martial arts focused discipline and Sun talks you through the movements and motivations with care and revere. Every class is a life lesson on balance and change as well as a physical workout. I am so glad I have found these group classes!“

“I own a business in the same shopping center as this place. Tonight, one of my staff ran inside their studio because a couple of guys were catcalling and being sketchy while she was trying to lock up. Two of their staff dropped what they were doing and escorted her over to lock up and get to her car safely. It's one thing to train martial arts, and it's another to be willing to actually use it to defend someone. 5 stars in my book. Thanks guys!“

“My son has been attending this academy for approx 2 years. As parents, we appreciate that they focus on attention, respect and self discipline. It a pretty good workout as it active from the moment it starts until the class ends. I recommend this academy as my son has grown and matured so much in this program.“

“Our 2 boys loved their Sensei. He's great with the kids and disciplines when need it. Hoping to come back in the spring.“

“I met Master Anzu and his students at the WKF Summit 2025 and was blown away. 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!“

“I'm glad my teacher is Japanese.I am grateful that it helps me learn not only karate, but also etiquette and Japanese.The time is just right.“

“My boys have been here for about a year now. We love it. The environment the discipline the respect and learning the Master providesTruly my family here!“

“I signed my son up on the very first day of our visit. The biggest selling point for me was the low student-to-teacher ratio. Unlike other schools where kids can get lost in a massive crowd, the Professor here provides an incredible level of personalized attention. It honestly feels like getting the quality of a private lesson within a group class environment. Because the classes are intimate, the instruction is incredibly precise. the Professor catches every detail and ensures the kids are learning the techniques safely and correctly. If you are looking for a special find where your child gets real mentorship rather than just being another number, I can’t recommend this place enough.“

“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!“

“My son has been going to this Taekwondo gym since he was 10, he’s now 14 we couldn’t be more grateful. Over the past 3½ years, this place has become like a second home. Master Rocky and Young Master Rocky have taught him discipline, courage, integrity, and resilience — lessons that go far beyond martial arts.

He’s now a brown belt and proudly competes in state and national championships — something we never imagined when he first started. The growth we’ve seen in him, both on and off the mat, has been incredible. Signing him up was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We wholeheartedly love and appreciate this gym. Thank you, Master Rocky!“

“Master Daniel and his wife doing some great work for the community so thankful we came in that day. Now my son is enrolled and as happy as can be. Thank you for the confidence he is learning!“

“The class is clean, all the instructors are strict but very nice and always focus and pay attention on students.“

“I am thrilled to share my experience with the exceptional Victory TKD. From the first class, it was evident that Master Bobby & Instructors are dedicated to help each child thrive! Through Victory TKD my children learn invaluable life skills such as discipline, confidence, and strong mentality. Master Bobby & Instructors emphasize respect, perseverance, and self-control, which are essential components of TKD.

6 years later we continue to grown within Victory TKD. My children are accomplishing many goals and are setting new ones for the future. In conclusion, Mater Bobby & Instructors have made a significant impact in our community! Their dedication to nurturing well-rounded, confident, and discipline individuals is truly inspiring.
