Han’s Tae Kwon Do Academy

Impressive and great! The kids are loving it! They have become very mindful and more respectful to one another. I love that! They have become quite the little helpers! It’s great to see kids be inspired and become self disciplined with class and respect.

Han’s Taekwondo is the best place to train in Bakersfield! Master Esposo has a real love for the sport of taekwondo and his students. He’s produced National and International Champions!

My son has been going to Hans Taekwondo for over 7 months. He loves the environment, the instructors are amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone.

This place is awesome.
First I was very impresses how friendly and welcoming the students were to my child. These were kids of ages 6 – 13 helping my 4 year old learn and feel welcoming.
Master Francis, and coaches are super patient with the students. They really do focus on every child, no matter if it’s a full house.
Place is kept clean, they even have a homework room for students. And kids get along very well. I highly recommend Han’s Taekondo.

Hands down one of the best taekwondo training centers in California.
My kids attended this academy and grew to become black belts. They learned skills to be able to compete in sparring at national and international taekwondo competitions.
Master Francis is highly skilled in taekwondo and possesses humility and dedication to his students. This academy focuses on taekwondo philosophies including respect, discipline, self defense, sparring, forms, and physical fitness.
Highly recommend this academy.

There’s no mistaking that Han’s Taekwondo academy upholds the highest esteem in the San Joaquin Valley, Ca. Some gyms emphasize a family like atmosphere, but Han’s Taekwondo Academy is a place where you can receive morals as well as a start towards the MMA or UFC. As time flies by an increasing numbers of people are deciding to involve themselves in the realm of MMA. All of their classes are taught by adult instructors that view taekwondo as a way of life. Other gyms produce champions, but this gym produces champions in life. In addition to receiving instruction in the absolute best self-​defense techniques available, you will be learning the fitness and conditioning secrets of World Champion athletes in a safe and positive environment. Han’s Taekwondo has been serving Bakersfield since 1987, and their «Home of California, Junior Olympic, National, Collegiate, International, and World Champions». If you’re looking for your kids to establish morals and values this is the place to be, and next door you can stop by B-Ryder’s Sports Grill and grab a snack.

I’ve been studying martial arts for over 30 years and have been fortunate enough to train with some of the greatest masters in world. Masters such as Guru Dan Inosanto, Grandmaster Moon Ku Baek, Master Jong Suk Baek, Tuhon Leo Gaje and Guru Richard Bustillo to name a few. Needless to say, I have some great martial arts instructors to refer to when I evaluate a Martial Arts teacher. That being said, I have to say that Master Francis Esposo of Han’s Tae Kwon Do Academy in easily one of the best Martial Arts Instructors that I have ever seen. He is truly world class. Even though his school has produced some of the best fighters in the nation, Master Francis’ main goal is to produce good citizens who have confidence, self discipline, humility, integrity and the ability to protect themselves and their family. I would highly recommend Han’s Tae Kwon Do Academy to anyone who is looking to learn self defense and train with a world class instructor like Master Francis Esposo. Master Francis and his highly trained staff are simply the best at what they do.

The best Tae Kwon Do school in Bakersfield! Han’s promotes integrity, perserverance, courtesy, courage, modesty & discipline. The students range from small children to adults. The teachers at Han’s TKD Academy are very knowledgeable of the sport, and they are very patient with all their students. I would definitely suggest this school to anyone who wants to study the martial art of Tae Kwon Do or for basic self defense.
