From the reviews
This is one of the top competitive Taekwondo studios in California. Master Cruz will bring out the best in your child. He is both nurturing and tough. You're not just joining a class, you're joining a journey and close knit family.
Kids have been here for over 4 years now. Master Cruz has instilled discipline and self confidence. The system he teaches works if you trust it. Our kids were not so athletic but sure are now. If you are looking for a legit taekwondo place gearing towards Olympic Style TKD. This is the place.
I've been going here for 7 months now and I have learned a lot! I love this school and Master Cruz!! #manilatough
Your first taekwondo class at Manila Taekwondo
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.
