Summit Taekwondo Center's Brentwood dojang has a full wall of trophies from students who started out as nervous white belts. Classes mix kicking drills, board breaking, and poomsae forms with a genuine emphasis on respect and goal-setting. Belt tests are held right in the studio so the whole family can watch the payoff.

This has become the highlight of our week. after class my kid was still buzzing about it at bedtime. Genuinely one of the best activities we've tried on the Westside.
Can't say enough good things about Master Reyes. my kid told grandma all about it on FaceTime that night after the very first class. Weekend parking gets crowded but there's usually a spot within a block.
Solid class, kid loves going every week. My kid is slowly breaking a board for the first time, and parking on the street can be tight right at pickup, but we've never circled more than a couple minutes. Only reason it's not five stars is the class can feel a little crowded some weeks.
Master Reyes is great, and overall we're really happy here. Would love a bit more communication about schedule changes, but my kid is genuinely sparring with real control now.
We've been coming for months and Master Kim still remembers every kid's name. the small group size means my kid actually gets individual attention. They're remembering their whole poomsae now and so proud of it.

Master Reyes has so much patience, my kid asked if we could come back tomorrow after the very first class. Drop-off line moves fast even when the lot is full.
