Oriental Moo-DO Taekwondo School

Great school instructors are very good with the students and take time to help them individually

I was taught by Master Kim when his school was located in Artesia, many years ago. He, his son Jimmy, and daughter Suzie were great. Master Kim is a good man and a great rolemodel. He was very patient with his students, yet passionate. Respect and discipline were very important. Bullying, disrespect, and horseplay were not tolerated, but his classes were always fun.
That was over 30+ years ago. Lessons I learned from him, carried with me my whole life and I am a better person for it.
I often wonder what Jimmy and Suzie are doing these days.
I do not know what the school is like now. I don’t think Master Kim teaches full time anymore.
For families with 2 parents that work, please enroll your young ones in this school. They will likely be better people for it.

Jason Kim is an awesome teacher. My nephew has learning disabilities and Jason was very patient and gave him the tools to learn. I was very impressed with Jason. I definitely think this was the best experience my nephew has ever had.

I went to Master Kim when I was young, in Artesia. Good experience. I went into this place to check it out for my kid, and the first thing that happend was some caucasian man yelling at me, not to step on the mat… I was not on the mat and was not going to step on it, as I have trained for many years. Telling me not to step on the mat is one thing, but the tone of voice, aggression and attitude was not acceptable. He really needs to be reprimanded. Horrible experience. I don’t want my son learning from a bully.

Excellent dojo! The discipline and respect that is taught here is amazing!

I started with Master Kim when I was 7 years old, and now I am 28 and from what I have heard he is still running strong.
When I was a child I hated coming here. The discipline and obedience is not what a 7 year old wants to be a part of. Every time I would throw a fit and not get out of the car Master Kim would come outside and grab me. As I got older I came to realize the mental and physical benefits of Master Kim’s teachings.
I got my black belt at around 11 and continued till I was 17. Eventually, when I have kids I will make sure they go to Master Kim as long as I am in the area.
They will have workshops and sometimes have a group come in and show us all the cool things we can do if we stick to it and put our mind into it.
Thank you Master Kim for making me what I am today. I still look at myself in the mirror and do the MEAN FACE you always ask of us.
His son also won the olympic gold medal in the late 80’s.

I trained at this school for years and it is phenomenal. I started at 13 and grew up through both youth and adult classes and it not only challenged me physically, but intellectually and emotionally as well. If you want to experience the true art of Taekwondo, Hapkido, and Yudo this is the place.

If you are looking for a great place to learn, this is the place to do it. They have very knowledge instructors.
Come check out the school if you are interested in learning Taekwondo, you wont be disappointed

Instructors are excellent teachers. This studio is far better than the average studio.
