“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.“

“Both my daughter and son love going to karate thanks to the wonderful teachers at Yeremyan Tae kwon do.“

“We absolutely love K Taekwondo! Instructor Heather is great with kids endlessly patient, warm, and incredibly engaging. She connects with them so naturally while still holding high standards.

Master Josh is outstanding. He’s motivating, encouraging, and incredibly thorough in how he explains techniques and expectations. What really stands out is how much he genuinely cares about each student improving, no matter where they’re starting from. He meets them where they are and pushes them to grow.

Since starting, my son’s confidence has really grown, and he listens so much better both in and out of class. He’s only 4 and looks forward to class. Great outlet for high energy kids! We’re beyond grateful for the positive impact and highly recommend K Taekwondo!“

“This place is hands down the best place for BJJ practitioner to get better at throws and takedowns in Los Angeles. Don’t bother with other place for Judo b/c the majority of them don’t teach adults or their class slots are limited. Now it is true that they don’t really teach much unless you attend the fundamental class. But at one point in your BJJ/ Judo journey. You have to take responsibility in being objective in what you are weak in. BJJ is traditionally weak at stand up and the Sensei at Tenri through training will help you out in that area. Plus, even though they don’t teach during the regular class for adults. When you get your USA Judo membership, you automatically gain access to the American Judo System video library that Jimmy Pedro and Travis Steven’s created. The American Judo System video plus studying John Danaher Feet to Floor Series has accelerated my Judo training. I know that most BJJ practitioner fear being thrown which I get and Tenri has a reputation of not being beginner friendly but you can make your sessions at Tenri as hard as you want it to be. I promise you’ll be a better BJJ athlete coming training three days a week versus training one week before a tournament working standup at a BJJ school. Even if you don’t like stand up and you’re primarily a guard player. You’ll know the ins and out of stand up and pull to guard on you terms with you being the dictator of where the fight goes. As long you put in the mat time, you will reap the rewards of becoming a complete grappler.“

“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.“

“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'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.“

“Best instructor ever. This place is clean, and it is a pleasure to be a customer. Great instructor!“

“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 started here when he was 6 years old. 2 years later, I've started and my 5 year old just started as well. Sensei Lucian is a fantastic teacher, and my children have a great time while learning about focus, coordination, defense, and all while having a blast. As an adult starting up, I've loved the vibe in the adult classes. Everyone is fun, respectful, and we get great workouts while learning self-defense! Highly recommended for kids AND adults!“

“Two Nations TK Collage is a great school. Very friendly environment for the kids and parents. Master Antonio who is a 5th Dan in TKD is an amazing coach and trainer. He makes each class very unique and entertaining with the latest techniques. Always working hard to help each of his athletes to reach their goals by taking them to important tournaments such us Nationals and State Championships. Thanks to all this, being able to wing more than 10 consecutive years including 2024, the award of The Best TKD school of the year in Los Angeles.

So if you are looking for a school to teach you or your kid/s discipline, respect, self control, become a great athlete this is the best school for you.“
