We love this dojo. We had tried to put our son to several martial arts studios, but were never quite happy. After enrolling him here, I liked it so much that I joined him after 2 months, and now we practice Taekwondo here together. Il-do instructors are extremely friends and approachable, yet they manage to enforce discipline and respect. I am so happy to see my son thriving there. For me personally, this is the best workout I've had in many years, and it is fun!
My 5yo son's been attending for almost 3 months & absolutely loves it! Their affordable 2wk intro course was extremely helpful in understanding their teaching style, observing the variety of class activities and explore their flexible scheduling, after which you can decide to continue or not. Besides teaching disciple and respect, they also promote building good habits in and outside the classroom, all the while keeping it fun & engaging for the kids.
I've been a student at IL-DO with my daughter for many years. We've learned a lot while also getting a good workout. We attend the family classes which seem slightly less strenuous than the adult-focused sessions, so you have many options for what works best for you.
My daughter has had such a wonderful experience at Il-do! The staff are so welcoming, kind and patient with the little ones. My daughter has blossomed in her focus, discipline, and her taekwondo skill due to their fantastic program.
My child has had a wonderful experience at IL-DO Taekwondo.
The instructors are patient, professional, and truly care about each student.
We have seen great improvement in confidence, discipline, and respect.
The classes are well-structured and fun, and the environment feels very positive and encouraging for kids.
We are very happy with our experience and highly recommend this studio to other families!
I love what IL-DO has done for my grandson. It has been a very positive experience for him. His confidence, focus, and his coordination have all improved. He started as a 4-yo and will be turning 6 in a couple months. What he is learning through IL-DO Taekwondo are not just benefiting him at home, school or in his other sports, but in his overall development. He is learning more than Taekwondo, he is learning to be a good human.
To date, we have recommended IL-DO to 5 of his friends at school and from his baseball team. All have joined and seem to be enjoying and growing with the program. I recommend you give your son or daughter a chance to experience this program and take the introductory class and see it for yourself.
We truly appreciate the guidance and patience all of the instructors at Il-Do Taekwondo show to every student. They do an excellent job instilling and teaching good manners, respect, focus, and discipline, and have made a noticeable difference in helping my child stay focused and follow directions better, both in and out of class.
The school is very well organized and well managed, with a clear structure and a positive, encouraging learning environment. The instructors are excellent with children and truly care about their growth and confidence.
Highly recommend Il-Do Taekwondo to any family looking for a supportive and disciplined program.
So happy with my son’s progress at Ildo Taekwondo! The instructors are great and he’s learning and improving so much.
My daughter started Taekwondo when she was 4 years old and has loved the classes from the very beginning. She has had a great time learning and growing alongside the other students in the program. The class has given her a strong boost in confidence and helped her face some of the toughest challenges in other areas of her life. It also motivates her to always do her best, and she discovered that she enjoys being competitive. The teachers at Il-Do clearly know what they’re doing and do an excellent job teaching students discipline and respect. The program is also very effective at helping kids develop resilience and a strong work ethic.
I highly recommend ILDO Taekwondo. My five-year-old son has shown clear positive changes since joining. His attitude has improved both at home and at school, and his confidence has grown a lot.
He is more focused and disciplined, and as a bonus, he now sleeps very well at night. We are very happy with the program and the instructors.
The instructors here are amazing. They constantly encourage my 4-year-old daughter and help her believe that she can do it. Their patience and positive energy make a huge difference, and my daughter absolutely loves coming to Taekwondo class!!!!
Fantastic program run by the founder and his family.
Excellent instructors!So much love and patience, this is a team that uses encouragement rather than discouragement.
Very well organized. Twice a year tournaments along with testing every 2 months. They are easy to schedule into our busy lives.
We are so grateful, both of our kids have been doing this for several years and both love it, we see no plans to stop anytime soon.
We’ve been attending IL-DO Taekwondo for almost two years, and our experience has been consistently excellent.
The instructors are professional, patient, and firm in a very positive way. They focus not only on technique, but also on discipline, respect, and confidence.
The classes are well organized, and we’ve seen clear progress over time. The environment is clean and safe, and communication with families is always smooth.
We’ve felt very comfortable here for the past two years and highly recommend this school to families looking for long-term, quality taekwondo training.
My son has been learning taekwondo here for over a year, and he absolutely loves it. The masters and black belts are always patient, encouraging, and great with kids. We’ve had such a positive experience.
My daughter walked through the doors of IL-DO Taekwondo at the age of 7. Honestly, we didn't expect her to stick with it — she was an energetic, restless child who struggled to focus for any length of time. Yet here we are, nearly 8 years later, and she still goes to every single class with a smile on her face. Not once in all these years have we had to convince her to go to practice. Not once.
The transformation we've witnessed has been nothing short of remarkable. She has grown into a responsible, focused, and confident young woman who knows how to manage her time and carry herself with purpose. But beyond the discipline and the skills, what moves us most is the sense of belonging she has found here. Her coaches and fellow students have become like family to her — and to us.
We are endlessly grateful to IL-DO Taekwondo for becoming such meaningful people in our daughter's life, and for helping shape in her the values of confidence, responsibility, and respect for others. If you're on the fence about enrolling your child — don't hesitate. This place is the real deal.
Training at this Taekwondo studio has truly been a journey for my body, mind, and spirit. It is an excellent place for both kids and adults, whether you are just starting or continuing your martial arts path.
I began here as a white belt, and after time, dedication, and great guidance, I am proud to say I earned my black belt. The masters are incredibly skilled, professional, and genuinely care about their students. They constantly encourage you, help you improve your focus, and build your confidence both inside and outside the dojang.
This is more than just a martial arts school — it’s a supportive community that helps you grow in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to challenge themselves and become stronger physically and mentally.
We've been part of IL-DO Taekwondo for about four years, since my son was in kindergarten. We initially enrolled him to help with his focus, and the results have been incredible. His ability to focus has significantly improved, and it's also boosted his movement, exercise, and keeps him active. He attends group classes twice a week and we are extremely satisfied with the progress he's made. We highly recommend them!
We absolutely love this taekwondo class! Coach Michelle is amazing with kids—so patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about what she does. My son looks forward to every class and has gained so much confidence, discipline, and respect since starting.
Daniel is a great coach as well! He’s very attentive, knows how to connect with people, and keeps you motivated. His sessions are engaging, productive, and you always feel supported. Highly recommend!
The environment is positive, structured, and fun at the same time. You can really see how much the coach cares about each child’s progress.
Highly recommend to any parents looking for a great activity for their kids!
The instructors at Heritage Plaza led by Grandmaster Chang Jin Kang and Master Daniel are very good with kids. My daughter started over a year and a half ago. Now, she understands why she needs to be in class, FOCUS has become a concept that she shares with Mom and Dad. Hearing it at repeatedly in TKD class has allowed us to use it as a common language to guide her at home and her school work. She understand that she needs to earn her promotion and she has to work for it, all this at the age of 6! And yes, she has FUN at her classes! Highly recommended!
Excellent school in Irvine...Instructors are very knowledgeable, humble, curtious, family oriented...Amazing instroctors: Instructor Daniel, Master Daniel, Master Yi, Master Kassandria, Grand Master Chang Jin Kang..
Great classes for kids！Highly recommended！
Our son joined their Cubs program a couple months ago, and after the initial shyness, we saw how much he enjoyed going to training every, single time. Furthermore, because the instructors teach respect, focus, courtesy, perseverance, and other values, we saw a change in his behavior and motivation for the better.
The instructors themselves are motivating and kind, and Master Daniel in particular is easy to work with in administrative school matters.
When our son gets older, I may join him in Taekwondo myself, although my bad back may not allow it (previously did Krav Maga until the back stopped training.)
