The classes they run
“5 year old has been coming here for almost a year and I truly don’t understand how patient Master Alonzo is with my kid, let alone a class full of kids her age.”
“As a parent, it’s really rewarding to see her excel in this class and share in the sense of pride our daughter feels each time she earns a new stripe on her belt.”
Other martial arts here
“The membership also includes jiu jitsu classes on Friday with a separate instructor.”

“The scheduling for that class is tricky for me so my kid has only gone once, but that class seemed to focus more on traditional BJJ fighting techniques.”
“He creates engaging activities, builds gross motor skills, creates a safe and loving environment, and teachers our son how to increase his focus, resilience, and determination.”

From the reviews
I am thrilled to share my experience with Master Alonzo’s Taekwondo classes in Mar Vista! In just a couple of months, my toddler has blossomed under his guidance, gaining confidence and discipline. Master Alonzo has a unique ability to connect with kids, making every class filled with laughter and giggles.
Master Alonzo is a great teacher. Her supports his students and ensures they are growing both in their skill and their confidence. I appreciate the anti-bullying skills my child gained and can now use in the school playground.
Master Alonzo has been amazing and really helping boost both of my boys confidence. Not only does he instill discipline but also fun when teaching fundamentals. I highly recommend his classes for any age!!
It would be difficult to overstate how much we appreciate Master Alonzo and the work he does. I wish there were many more people of his talents and abilities out there, because I know there are thousands of kids all over L.A. who could get SO much out of attending classes here-- but there's only one Master Alonzo.
New to taekwondo? Start at Alonzo Martial Arts
Alonzo Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Alonzo Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
