Edelweiss Korean Karate

I highly recommend this Dojang for all ages and levels. Also, it is very fairly priced compared to other karate places.

My little one attends Edelweiss Karate and it’s been a great experience. I especially appreciate that the sessions are balanced with the physical training (of course) but also include discipline, respect, focus, meditation, etc. My kid enjoys it and they have a sense of accomplishment and pride.

This Dojang is about traditional martial arts. We learn quiet competence here, respect for ourselves and our fellow human, and amazing self defense. Think discipline and respect, philosophy, history, tradition, and technique. This is not the place to go if you are into disco balls, dee jays spinning records, different karate suits for each day of the week, fighting in cages, or black belts that can be earned in two years.
Edelweiss Soo Bahk Do does not focus merely on fighting, but strives to integrate values in each of us to better handle stress and strife in modern life. Indeed, the very premise of Soo Bahk Do is to prevent conflict. I am close to earning my black belt after four challenging years of study and practice, and I find that I still have much to learn from Edelweiss Soo Bahk Do.

I look back fondly at my time with Master Hoffmeister. As the reviews above have stated, this Dojang is about traditional martial arts. Master Hoffmeister and his team will work out your body as well as your mind.
I know fitness boot camps are the latest trend, people wanting to shed a few pounds. Make no mistake, you will get worked hard here. Weight will come off, as long as you make the effort to show up to class. Master Hoffmeister is diligent about getting the most out of his students, and he takes the time to give each individual student the instruction and encouragement they need.
He provides family classes, where parents may train with their children, as well as adult specific or child specific classes. When I trained with Master Hoffmeister I was a student at Glendora High School where he teaches. So parents, rest easy, your children are in good hands should you decide to drop them off for their work out and have some private time.
In an age where it can be difficult to pry your child away from video games and television, and childhood obesity is on the rise, Edelweiss provides an environment where you can ensure your child gets the physical activity they need.
I can’t speak highly enough about the team at Edelweiss. If I lived closer, I would sign up in a heartbeat.
Soo Bahk!

My 2 sons attend Edelweiss Karate also known as Glendora Korean Karate or Glendora Soo Bahk Do. I have really enjoyed watching the Master instill a sense of honor, discipline and respect for one another and authority. I love that the focus is not on fighting the other classmates as I have observed in other martial arts studios. I also appreciate that the time is taken with each student to show them detailed technique and positioning of their persons to be successful in martial arts. If your going to do it… do it right; a theme for what Edelweiss Karate stands for.
