From the reviews
I have a lot of experience in watching my son in taekwondo but this place teach blocking and punching the most important in self defense.And the instructor is right in saying taekwondo is not easy to learn. You can learn all the form from white belt to black belt but street fight is different.

Excellent master. I have my daughter and my son with the master Marcelo at Umana's tae kwon do, and I'm so happy with the hard work and discipline, my kids are learning discipline, self defense, confidence, respect and many other things. Umana's Tae Kwon Do is one of the best martial arts school at Baldwin Park ca.
Master Marcelo is a great trainer/teacher. My kids have been attending his school for over 6 plus years. Definitely recommend this school if you're looking to help your young ones to gain discipline, self-esteem, and courage.
New to taekwondo? Start at Umana's Taekwondo School Martial Arts
Umana's Taekwondo School 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 Umana's Taekwondo School 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.
