“Our family has been involved with LOMA Taekwondo for over four years, during which time our son has progressed significantly towards his second-degree black belt. Master Lee and Master Jay have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to their students, instilling invaluable lessons in discipline, respect, and perseverance. Our son’s involvement in the demo team culminated in a first-place victory at a recent Southern California Taekwondo tournament. LOMA has proven instrumental in our son’s personal development, equipping him with a robust foundation of life skills. The studio’s emphasis on care and dedication to its students fosters a genuine sense of community and belonging. LOMA is more than just a martial arts studio; it’s a cornerstone of our family’s life.“

“Attending Mountain Taekwondo has been transformative for my 6 year old. We noticed an increase in his confidence & focus after just a few classes. It has been a joy to see him take pride in his practice and progression. Master Mountain has been a wonderful influence and we look forward to enrolling our other children when they are old enough!“

“Master Lee and his team are amazing!! Both my kids started few years ago and I am extremely pleased with how Master Lee is able to work with them. We drive 30 mins, passing 10 other taekwondo places, but it’s definitely worth it!!“

“I love this place! My son and I have been attending classes here 3 times a week for over 2 years and recently passed our first degree black belt test. The classes are serious but all the instructors are very encouraging and do their best to help you prepare for all the regular tests. This is a great place to get a full body workout, learn new skills and grow stronger both physically and mentally.“

“I have been taking my son to Novastar for a few weeks now, and have nothing but good things to say about this dojo. Sensei Luis and the students are so opening and welcoming and treat my son very well. They have a lot of flexibility on scheduling here at an affordable price. My son gets so excited when he gets to come to Novastar because Sensei Luis and everyone treat him like family. I pass by multiple karate schools on the way to Novastar, but I choose to come here instead of the other ones because of the excellent service provided by everyone here. Highly recommend trying out this dojo if you're looking to start your kid in karate!“

“This is one of the best Taekwondo studios in Orange County. The master is skilled, patient, and genuinely cares about the students. The instructors create a positive learning environment where kids can improve their techniques while having fun.

The classes are well-structured, and students of all levels feel supported as they build confidence, discipline, and respect. It’s great to see how much my child enjoys the training and the progress they’re making.

If you’re looking for a Taekwondo studio that provides quality instruction in a friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend this place.“

“An amazing experience—both mentally and physically extraordinary for my kids! Master Joshua not only teaches the renowned Taekwondo self-defense techniques but also instills core values like respect, discipline, and honor. His dedication to the art and his students is truly inspiring. It’s a wonderful, family-friendly environment that I highly recommend to everyone!“

Now, three years later, they've grown immensely in athleticism and discipline, both nearing black belt status. The instructors, including a world-class Taekwondo Olympian, are incredibly supportive, and the environment is very family-oriented. I highly recommend this dojang for anyone looking for a transformative martial arts experience.“
