National TaeKwonDo Center - Pasadena, California

We started at NTC almost eight months ago and it's been a really good experience so far. Master George is firm but kind and good at connecting with the kids. He focuses on the art/technique of Tae Kwon Do but also on building confidence, focus and discipline, and working towards goals. My son has really embraced his experience so far and it's been confidence-building for him which is so gratifying to see as a parent. I would highly recommend this dojang!

I started at NTC taking classes with my two sons. It has been an amazing experience for my family. It is great to have this experience with my boys. Master George is a wonderful and patient teacher. He is great combination of firm and caring. He tailors the class for every experience level so us old, out of shape novices can enjoy the class with the young energetic newbies, and the more experienced, higher belt levels. I highly recommend Taekwondo and NTC as a way to be physically active as a alternative to regular excercise classes.

Master George has a genuine passion for teaching and a deep care for all his students, which is evident in every class. He goes above and beyond in every session, ensuring that the kids not only practice Taekwondo but truly understand the lessons of the day. Although classes are scheduled for 40 minutes, Master George doesn’t hesitate to extend the time if needed to complete his teaching, which shows his commitment to the students' learning.

While the extended sessions might require a bit more scheduling flexibility, it’s a small trade-off for the quality of instruction and care he provides. This dedication is likely why many parents, ourselves included, travel from far away instead of opting for nearer dojangs. The extra commute time is worth it, seeing how much my two kids enjoy and grow from these lessons. I highly recommend Master George’s Taekwondo class to any parent considering martial arts training for their child.

My son started at the age of 5. He was nervous and apprehensive on his first visits, however master George did a great job of being patience with him and helping him get past his fear.

We had visited other schools but Pasadena NTC was by far the best environment, especially for young children. All the masters show respect and support as well as firmness and discipline. My son has developed self- confidence and gets a great work out as well!

I would high recommend this school for children and adults as it’s a friendly and welcoming environment for all.

My son started at National Taekwondo Center at the age of 3 in the Little Tigers Class last summer. Master George is a great instructor and very understanding with kids young and old. His knowledge has helped my now 4 year old obtain his purple belt and a gold medal in competition

Great place. My daughter loves the training and the masters. Shoutout to Master George, Master Wyatt, Master Alex and the other teachers! Excellent training for kids, teaching respect, focus, self-awareness and confidence. Transformed a shy kid, a little bit on the chubby side to a leader.

I’ve done Taekwondo in NTC for the last few years, and I can say that it’s the best dojang near Pasadena. Master George is very enthusiastic and ensures that all the students fully enjoy Taekwondo.
