My daughter has been with NTA for 2 years now and loves coming here for all of her classes. All the instructors from Master Kim, Master Park, Mr. Moon down to all the Assistants are all friendly and professional. We love the curriculum as it not only teaches the students the art of Taekwondo but also instills a lot of values like respect, perseverance, confidence, sportsmanship & being goal oriented that they can carry on at home and in school. All classes are infused with a lot of fun and games that keeps the students engaged. Being in NTA has been a great motivation for my daughter and has helped her overcome her shyness. We highly recommend National Taekwondo Academy in Aliso Viejo!

We love National Taekwondo Academy! The studio offers a variety of class-times which is great for families with busy schedules. Classes have a very good student/instructor ratio, and it's clear that all of the instructors have a genuine enthusiasm for the development of the students. Our son has been attending NTA since 2015 and absolutely loves it.  As parents, we are very impressed with the overall value that NTA offers.

Thank you Master Park, Master Kim and ALL the amazing staff at NTA who provide a positive environment for students to learn valuable life-long skills like self-defense, self-discipline, self-confidence, respect and perseverance...while having FUN along the way.
