Aliso Hills Taekwon-Do

Nice, bright, clean new studio! Absolutely the best around! I highly recommend AHTKD and Master D.

Our son is a shy, introverted, and sensitive kid. Since he started as a Little Dragon at age 3, he’s blossomed, growing tremendously in his self esteem and confidence, and physical ability.
We can’t thank Master D, Master Jessica and Instructor Hughes enough. They’re gentle yet firm with the students, and the training our son has enjoyed at Aliso Hills TKD has truly become an important thread in the fabric of our family dynamic. Master D’s approach is holistic, wrapping school, home, and family into it all.

My kids, 4 & 6, just started, and I can already see positive changes in them. I’m a 3^rd Dan in TaeKwon-​Do and have studied since 1994. Master D is an incredibly gifted Master of the Art and his teaching methods with children are among the best I’ve ever seen. And I’m talking about the difficult group of children ages 4 – 6, with the minuscule attention span. He has no troubles and spends so much time and attention with each kid, it’s almost the same as a private lesson. My kids love it. They want to go every day including weekends!!! He’s a good man who studied the Art under the Best there is. I’m in Law Enforcement, and seeing the impact that martial arts has on kids is irrefutable and a positive one. So why not learn it from a Highly trained Master with a good heart. You can’t go wrong.

Our son Alex was taught by Master D (Paul D’Ambrosio) since he was 6 or 7 years old, when he was at another studio.
Master D opened AHTKD in May 2009, and I joined in September of that year. My son had gotten so good, that I was inspired to be as good as him. You’re never too late to do Taekwon-​Do, and your fears shouldn’t stop you from doing anything, especially that.
Master D’s teachings are so unique, that you feel he is always one-​on-​one with you. The pillars of his teaching are Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-​Control, and Indomitable Spirit.
Master D knows every one of his students, personally. He has hundreds of students, from young to older adults, and every age in between — male and female. He knows each person by their name. It’s amazing. You grow a sense of personal relationship with him.
I can’t imagine life without Taekwon-​Do, and Master D. He is an amazing man, a mentor, a friend, a teacher, and above all a very good hearted human being with the largest soul you can imagine.
He truly cares only about the development of each of his students. His passion for the art of Taekwon-​Do brings out the best, each of his students have to offer.
The instructors who teach with Master D foster his discipline and many have been students of his since they were children. From Master Jessica, to instructor Hughes, to instructor Sam, they all love Taekwon-​Do and teaching.
I have become a better person because of this experience, and so has my son Alex.
If you’re looking for a Taekwon-​Do dojang to consider, please check out Aliso Hills Taekwon-​Do, because you’ll find a great place to learn and grow.
I am happy I decided to join back in 2009, and on my way to achieving my 1^st degree black belt in July 2013.

The best Taekwon-​Do studio and leadership you will EVER find, hands down.
Our family has been with Master D’Ambrosio since our son was six. He’s now a Black Belt and my husband was so inspired by what goes on there, that he now is also a Deputy Belt!
If you want wonderful, caring, EXPERT TKD training, this is the place for you!

The Kiickboxing Bootcamp at AHTKD is awesome. It’s just about the hardest workout you can find in Orange County!!! If you like to be pushed to the limit and beyond this is the workout for you. (Try Jessica’s class.)

My son started with Master D since he was 3 ½ years old and he is now 10 years old and a black belt. My younger daughter is now taking Taekwon-​Do also. Aliso Hills Taekwon-​Do goes beyond the usual poom-​sae, kicking, breaking, and self-​defense lessons a lot of the studios offer, but they also teach the children how to be upstanding citizens and be strong and confident inside and out. Master D teaches his students lessons they can take outside the studio and into the real world. My son plays club sports and after years of TKD under Master D’s tutelage we discovered that he uses certain TKD skills during his games. He is excelling at school and have not had any disciplinary issues. Both my children are respectful of teachers, coaches, and adults beyond their years, thanks to AHTKD.
I recommend Aliso Hills Taekwon-​Do to families. If you want your child to be well rounded, strong, and confident then Aliso Hills Taekwon-​Do is the school for you. If you want a martial arts school that is a community and family, then AHTKD is the school for you.

Both my kids go here and love it. This is such a great school.
