Pacific Taekwondo Training Center

Master Eric’s PTTC is where you want to be. Great for tiny tots taking their first step into fitness/​self-​confidence, great for elementary school aged children who one day will face the perils of high school, great for adults looking for a bit more than fly-​by-​night boot camps, fantastic for entire families looking strengthen family ties by undertaking a program together.
My first encounter with PTTC began when my wife and I enrolled our daughters. We’ve seen their confidence grow through each belt test and each competition.
Tired of being a sideline supporter, cheering from the stands, my wife and I enrolled. I must say, one of best decisions of our lives: not only individually, but as an entire family.
Thank you Master Eric and PTTC!

Master Eric has had a very positive impact on my life. He is very knowledgeable in not only Taekwondo but also working with children. He instills strict discipline yet in a positive manner so the students benefit but they don’t get discouraged. PTTC has a lot of very talented students who perform well at tournaments, especially in the forms category they have been doing extremely well and that is a credit to Master Eric and his hardworking students!

One year later and I never thought I would say this but it’s even BETTER than when we first signed up. Master Eric is shining more than ever in his coaching his students. It’s almost as if he’s building an army in the best way possible. Master Eric is very professional, kind hearted, and truly makes you feel like you are part of the family. Our son is on cloud nine and asks everyday if it’s time for tkd bc he’s so anxious and excited to go. He adores master Eric to the max! He has improved in this year physically and mentally. I’ll update again in a year. This place is highly recommended!!!

Master Erik the owner takes a lot of pride training all the kids… the word Respect is repeated over and over in each class which means a lot to us — My girls got orientation the first day and got to training super fast — they love it.
Master Erik is very funny and takes the time to know all his students and parents. He and his crew are very strict and professional (love love love) but when class is done they all have lots of fun which makes the class definitely more enjoyable.

This place has helped my daughter grow up to be a confident, strong, mature, well mannered person that she is. She will cont. To finish here and I definitely recommend everybody to this establishment!

We decided to put our son in TKD after being referred to PTTC. He has shown so much growth in his physical strength and ability to focus. I love watching the students progress. They can do and remember things that I don’t think I could handle at their age. The staff is personable and welcoming and the students are polite and respectful.

No longer affiliated with this school after being part of this school for 5 years as a student (Jr. Blackbelt) and parent of a student (3^rd Degree Black Belt). The business/​school has done a 360 degrees for the worse!!! Master Eric’s passion to teach taekwondo is no more!!! If he hasn’t cancelled classes, he’s either late to teach classes or doesn’t show up at all (this applies to tournaments and coaching at tournaments as well). The school is unkept and filthy. The training floor may be swept, but hardly ever disinfected. If your teaching taekwondo and it’s morales/​principles, then you must also live by those principles, which means that your personal and professional life must also abide to those principles. With that said, he falls short in being that «role model» of the taekwondo morales and principles. Do you want that example for your children? There’s more issues, just can’t elaborate on them. The sad thing is that these issues have been brought up before, but fall on his deaf ears. Many former dedicated students/​families have left the school and/​or affiliated themselves with different taekwondo schools (some athletes have made it on the US National Poomsae (forms) and Kyorugi (sparring) teams after leaving PTTC and joining other schools). Before considering this school, shop around and be informed before making your decision.
Update (1÷14÷2015):
Head Coach/​Instructor at PTTC has been identified as the person who’s been cyber bullying a former instructor/​coach. How ironic a school that teaches anti-​bullying has a staff member who’s guilty of bullying! Do you want people like that to be role models and instructors to your children?

WTF $ 90 a month for 1 year!!! The prices go most of the time but not guaranteed? I will still with soccer & if not I will keep calling around SMH!!! WOW

Attended a very helpful poomsae seminar, Guest of Honor, Master Reggis is great, and host Master Eric is very friendly and fun to be with!

This center revolves around the students. My son has been here now for almost 2 years and loves it. Master Eric is very qualified to teach the art of taekwando, but he has something else others may not have, a passion for taekwando and the students. He also teaches one do the most important things in life… balance.
I can remember when my son was struggling at the beginning of a new school year and he was having trouble adjusting to the new school routine. My son was thinking of quitting to allow himself more time for school. But I knew deep down that wasn’t what he wanted. His anxiety got the best of him and he didn’t even want to get out if the car one night to go to practice.
We let Master Eric know and he took time out of his busy schedule to speak to us and address this. Master Eric listened to our son and asked him questions. After a long discussion and lots of encouragement, my son decided not to quit. My son looks back on that incident, and is so thankful that he didn’t give up when life got hard.
Our son has continued to grow in his taekwando skills and is ready to compete again in an upcoming competition. But more importantly, he has grown to learn more about respect, discipline and life balance. Our son is turning into a reliable, respectful and kind young man and Master Eric has played a big role in this. Thank you Master Eric and PTTC!!!

My daughter has been going there for one year and LOVES it! She’s athletic and a dancer, but Tae Kwon Do is something she really enjoys doing. Master Eric couldn’t be better, with a great balance of discipline and fun in all of his classes, he makes learning and excelling fun!
Wanna do more? He keeps you up to date on tournaments and offers Blackbelt and Championship training. What more can you ask for?
If you are looking for a Tae Kwon Do home, this is it!
