Ahn’s Tae Kwon Do Center

Master Ahn is an exceptional instructor and a kind person. I used to train with Master Cho down the street as a kid so my standards are high. As an adult, I looked for another master to train with. I checked out several places and stopped looking when I found this do jang. He trained me back into shape, taught me to see the bigger picture, and taught me — among other things — that self-​defense has more to do with correct thinking and positioning versus techniques and brute force.

My child was enrolled in classes here. The quality of the teaching is excellent. However the owner is extremely strict with the kids/​students and can be very harsh verbally.

My daughters have been going to Ahn’s Tae Kwon Do Center (now called MTC, but same owner/​management) for almost 2 years now. I can’t say enough about what a positive experience this has been for both of them. One day, when I’m injury free I’ll join too! Very family oriented. Staff is always very friendly and makes it a point to know each student. They quickly find strengths and weaknesses, and instruct accordingly. I can’t say enough good things about this studio. I feel very fortunate to have found such an excellent place for my children to learn a martial art. Master Ahn and his staff are the best!

Really good place to train, met lots of people I highly recommend coming here

Love this place! Enrolled my son about 6 months ago… he was 8 at the time and a little nervous and shy to start — has been the best thing for him. The teachers are kind and fun and skilled and motivate the kids in a positive way to be strong and respectful. My only regret is not signing my older son up!

This is a fabulous martial arts studio. Very personalized, and a place where kids and adults truly feel they can learn these amazing skills.
The staff is amazing, nurturing, tough, caring, and really in touch with their students. It’s like a family studio, where everyone cheers each others successes and encourages their personal growth.
I totally agree with Hobie S. and the review.
This is an amazing place!

I had always wanted to take martial arts ever since I was about 8 years old, but my parents would never let me. Fortunately for me, I’m now in my 20s and I can do whatever I want ;)
I decided it’s never too late to start, so I signed up with Master Ahn over a year ago and it’s been a great experience. There’s no contest that he’s getting the full 5 stars.
Positives:
— Small class sizes (In the adult classes there’s almost never 10 people, usually between 5 – 9)
— Separate classes for Adults and Children
— Master Ahn takes a genuine personal interest in the improvement/​development of all his students, regardless of skill level
— Great for exercise, flexibility, discipline, and self esteem
— Sparring classes at least once a week… ranging from full contact w/​pads to no contact for people who are more fragile.
— About half of the classes (even more for the children’s classes) are taught by master Ahn, the other half taught by the capable staff of black belts. It’s not often you’ll find a studio where the head instructor actually teaches!
— Student ages range from 4 — 50+, w/​students of all races, backgrounds, and skill level (To spell it out: don’t worry if you’re not asian!)
Negatives:
— When you get good enough to spar, I’m gonna bring the pain…
(just kidding! All senior ranks have to exercise control or answer to the master… hehe)
