Elite Taekwondo Center - La Crescenta

We started Elite Taekwondo at the beginning of this year, and we absolutely love what it's done for our 5 year old. His concentration and perseverance level have gotten so much better, and Tkd feels like a really healthy way for kids to release their energy. I can tell that my son feels very accomplished and proud of himself after every practice. We can see the difference in his forms and kicks. Master Paul and Master Ju are always so supportive and encouraging, and they make sure to check every student's forms and give constructive feedback. We feel lucky to have found Elite TKD!

(Also, I love how easy it is to make up lost practice days!)

My 6 yr old son just loves coming here. We had him in soccer before but the coach was not teaching him discipline at all.
Now, Master Paul and Master Ju are definitely teaching discipline to my son. I am delighted by my son coming here and learning how to defend himself, enjoying himself respectfully, and learning discipline. I give two thumbs up to Elite TKD.

Master Paul is a great teacher. Not only is he meticulous with forms, he gives the kids good advice about the importance of discipline and diligence.
I really appreciate his dedication to his students.
Also he's a 7th degree black belt, so I feel very safe there..lol

We love ETC Taekwondo with Master Paul! My 2 girls have been taking taekwondo for 2 and 4 years now, and they still love it. Master Paul is so kind to the kids yet strict so they learn discipline! I put them in taekwondo so they can learn discipline and gain confidence, and it's definitely working. My girls are tough!! They are eager to gain their black belts, and I hope they continue to learn for years!

My son has been training TKD with master Paul Park for few months now and he absolutely loves it!

Not only the TKD he's teaching, but Master Paul teaches all of his students in every aspects of life, discipline, integrity and etc.

All of the staff members are very friendly and knowledgeable too!

Thank you master Paul!

This taekwondo place is amazing with kids and toddlers! My 3.5 year old son has been enjoying his lessons.

They teach children discipline and are very patient and understanding. Highly recommended!~

Master Paul is a great teacher!
My kid loves his class. He's firm with discipline, but kind.

Master Paul and Master Joo sincerely care for the well-being of the children they teach. They maintain a culture that values discipline, respect and responsibility. In the past year I have seen my son grow in these areas on the floor but outside of tkd as well. It's a hard balance having structure and making it enjoyable at the same time but they have mastered it in their classroom and my kid and his bf always want more, to comeback and learn. If you're looking for a place that takes the martial art seriously and see genuine growth in your children , Elite is it!
This place is a Diamond in the rough :)

We enrolled our son in Taekwondo classes when he was just 4 years old, and our daughter at the age of 7. Initially, we were uncertain about how well our young son would cope, given the typical distractions kids his age face. However, from the moment we met Master Paul, our concerns were put to rest.

Master Paul's ability to connect with children is truly remarkable. He skillfully keeps them engaged and focused by striking the perfect balance between firmness and humor. Thanks to his guidance, our son has developed a sense of discipline and motivation to continuously improve. It's heartwarming to witness both our children eagerly looking forward to each class, motivated by the visible progress they make as they earn belts and stripes while advancing through the program.

One of Master Paul's greatest strengths is his talent for explaining the significance of practice, discipline, and respect to the children. He instills in them not only the physical aspects of Taekwondo but also the valuable life lessons that come with it.

Without reservation, we wholeheartedly recommend Elite Taekwondo. It's a place where children not only learn martial arts but also grow in character, thanks to the outstanding guidance of Master Paul and his team.

My daughter started at this school when she was 6 years old and we have been here for over 10 years. She is training very hard to promote for her 4th degree black belt! Master Paul has guided my daughter throughout her young life and she has become such a diligent and hard working girl. She also always gets compliments on how well mannered she is towards other adults and this is something they learned in taekwondo. We will forever be a part of this taekwondo family and we love this school!!
