YIC Taekwondo

My son started taekwondo with tiny tigers at the age of 5, he is 11 yrs old and 3^rd Dan black belt now !! And he still does not want to quit. Grand Master Cheon, master Alan are great instructors! Taekwondo has made my son a well-​rounded kid not only in the martial arts but in the school, discipline and everywhere else.
Master Alan pays close attention to every kid and trains them well. I would recommend Yic taekwondo to everyone !
It’s one of the best place for martial art!

My son started going there since summer of 2015, he has learned great discipline, respect and confidence. The staff is amazing and friendly. Highly recommend!

This is a great place for kids to learn TKD. The instructors are wonderful. My kids love it !

My 2 kids (boy and a girl and they’re 4.5 years old) started tiny tigers in June 2015. They both were soooo pumped to start, but on day 1, they both got cold feet and just watched from the sidelines. I would still take my kids 2 times a week and even though they watched from the sidelines, Master Alan would be so attentive to his tiny tigers class (he is so patient. Idk how he does this) and make the class fun that my kids finally decided to join the other tiny tigers. They just completed their first belt testing on ⁸⁄₂₉ and I was so proud to see them do sooooo well (I’m not just saying this because they’re my kids, but they truly did well). It makes me so happy that I invested my kids time in tkd because their discipline level has absolutely progressed and I couldn’t be more proud of my 2 kids. Thank you Master Alan and the YIC family!!!

Our son has been at YIC since we relocated to SoCal about 3 yrs ago, he is now in the black belt training and should receive it in April. We are proud of what he’s learned at YIC. We have seen Masters come and go, good and ok (mainly good) but one thing that has always been excellent is the customer service. Ms Ann and Master Alan along with the rest of the staff are genuinely always striving for the best of the students. Thank you YIC for teaching our son respect, discipline and self defense! We look forward to our continued journey

My son started tiny tigers during the summer. He had a little cold feet at first but very soon he started loving it due to Master Yi’s teaching. He was very kind, funny, patient, yet he was also strict. The kids loved him! He not only taught them the movements of tae kwon do, he also taught them discipline and actions for real life situations. He taught them confidence and to try your best! Unfortunately, Master Yi will no longer be with them starting October. They only have another instructor, Master Yu. He isn’t even half as good as Master Yi. The kids don’t listen to him well. When he’s teaching one kid, the other kids do their own thing. He doesn’t teach anything besides basic movements. I just signed a 14 month contract with them in August. I don’t know what to do now. I’m regretting…

I wouldn’t recommend this Tae Kwon Do school to anyone, nor will I be renewing my kids contracts with them. Unfortunately the quality of teaching has gone downward tremendously. I have two kids enrolled and I have regretted several times renewing their contracts. For the past months, probably 8 months or so, the staff has been reduced to two masters; whereas before there used to be at least two teaching and one at the office. Now, one of them has to attend the telephones and office. So for the most part only one instructor conducts the class which can consist of as many as 20 kids or more. I cannot help but notice that those students who are «favored» by the master are given more opportunity and instruction. And since there aren’t enough instructors, the less gifted children are left nearly unattended. In the past few months my kids have learned vary little. It is a shame that a place that used to teach in a fun and effective manner has been reduced to a less than mediocre TKD school. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone. And I am sure that a lot of other parents have similar concerns.

This place seems to be nothing but money hungry profit driven place. I did the annual contract i think it was close to $ 2000 and in terms of preparing little ones for true meaning of black belt is not taught. Black belt is $ 3000+
They charge for every little thing and teaching staff is poor. Poomse is taught by other black belt kids and they really just seem to pass any kid that pays the belt fee of $ 60.
Only nice thing is that it’s in a shopping center. giving 2 stars.
There used to be a nice professional younger guy teaching but not around anymore.

Hello Unilocal family!
First and foremost I am not an actual student here but I often find myself stopping by YIC Taekwondo after my long and stressful day at work simply because it makes me happy. The passion, love, and patience I see from the Instructors towards the students is really awesome and cool to watch. Plus it doesn’t hurt that the little kids there are super cute! They really do see each student as part of their «family» and will often times go the extra mile to make sure each student’s goals are met. You can tell that the Masters are really genuine and that they sincerely care for your child’s well being. I hope to start soon as well once my work schedule clears up. Will keep you updated

Y.I.C is a great place I absolutely love this facility it has two large studios, clean equipments, excellent one on one coaching, family oriented staff and family owned! I have my daughter in the Tiny Tigers and she loves the lessons never repeated + they do all sorts of activities inside and outside– tournaments, sleepovers, group outings to parks and theme parks. They are a huge supporter to the community of Diamond Bar. ***Kudos to them***

My son has been attending YIC since he was three years old. Over the last three years I have watched him gain confidence, poise and discipline beyond my expectations. He loves going to TKD classes and the extra events (tournaments, holiday parties, etc.). I also appreciate the professionalism of the staff. I have found them to be kind, caring and supportive… just what kids need to thrive. I was so impressed with the staff, students and programs that I started taking classes myself. At first I was a bit apprehensive to start TKD at my age however my concerns were quickly dismissed. (The staff and other students are very encouraging.) I really like the adult class because it provides a great cardio workout while teaching TKD and self defense techniques. Overall I am very pleased with YIC and the Cheon family. They have put together a quality program for kids and adults to learn and practice TKD.

I love coming here, the instructors and the people are very nice. It is very kid friendly and student learner friendly. The class is fun and full of energy, and staff makes it so that you are welcomed and properly instructed

I want to join in the adult classes but I’m sacred… I’m a nanny nd take care of 2 boys one goes to this TKD classes nd he loves going nd they teachers are great … the another boy his only 4 month’s but can I get any suggestions nd tell me how this TKD classes work nd what do u do (:

The grandmaster here is a two-​time olympic coach and won the gold in 08′. The credentials are there, but in spite of the success he seems to be a very humble person, almost comes off as timid/​weak, but looks can often deceive. I’d recommend it here to a friend for sure.

We enrolled our children at first because of its location, but what ended up happening to our family is we became their family in the Tae Kwon Do world.
Not only are they great teaching the art of Tae Kwon Do, our children have learned to love and respect Tae Kwon Do. The teachers became like our extended family and they love and care for our children as their own.
We first joined YIC because our family wanted to instill the Korean values, but we became inspired by the teachers whom are competitors themselves.
Our children look up to the teachers and look forward to competition!
By far, YIC is the best Tae Kwon Do school!

Want to learn discipline — Check!
Want to learn how to kick ass and look good doing it — Double CHECK!
Want to be trained from a master who literally coached olympic gold medalist and shook the hand of Bill FREAKIN CLINTON — CHECK ALL OVER THIS BAD BOY!
Seriously stop wasting your precious time reading this and sign up for classes at YIC. Some of the most badass/​chillest butt kicking, high flying martial artist has came through these hallowed grounds.
DON’T BELIEVE ME
Heres a real list testimonial
My god kicking never felt sooooo goooooot — CHRIS K
ACT now, and they will throw in classes about punching!
SPACE IS LIMITED, oh god is that a ninja?! WHAPOW SEE THAT NINJA GO DOWN, heck yeah he did, I learned that here at YIC

My son enrolled at YIC TKD when he was 4 years old. My son is very compassionate, sensitive and non-​confrontational. Within the first week of class, I immediately noticed the benefits of joining YIC Tae Kwon Do. We have been with this studio for over 3 years now and my son has built physical strength, confidence and learned anti-​bullying techniques. He also has learned to focus his energy on combination kicks, perfecting his poomse forms and embracing his competitive nature.
I inspected several studios around town and this was the first studio I was immediately impressed with the instructors teaching style. The instructors have MET and EXCEEDED my expectations for teaching my son in Tae Kwon Do forms and discipline. They have earned my trust for motivating and encouraging my boy’s confidence and the studio is a place that nourishes their physical spirit.
The instructors are dedicated, very respectful, gracious and super natural with working with my son and I see them work well with all ages and belt levels. I appreciate what they have taught my son but more importantly, my son has learned respect to a high degree. He shows respect for his instructors and exemplify a deeper respect when he is met with Masters Alan and Han.
This is no doubt a superb place for my family. They are so welcoming when we arrive. The junior instructors are amazing also (SWAT). They are respectful and pleasant to talk to. They are great role models for my son. We look forward to going to the studio every practice. YIC Tae Kwon Do has made a positive impact on our family.
On Tuesday and Thursday nights 7:30 — 8:45pm, YIC has an adult program that teaches real life self defense techniques incorporated with strength and cardio training. I’ve been attending the adult class for the last 3 years and learned simple self defense techniques that will help protect me and my family. I’ve also lost several pounds (30lbs) with the strength and cardio sessions.
I highly recommend this Tae Kwon Do studio to all my friends and family!!!

When we first joined YIC TKD one of the parents mentioned how great the instructors were and how everyone is like family and after signing my son up we found it to be true, so much so that I enrolled my daughter and even myself!
The kids really look up to their masters and their assistants. They enjoy it so much we had a birthday party here and even enrolled them in the summer camp. Both were hits with the kids!
I personally enjoy the adult class and love that we learn self defense as well. It’s a great workout each time!
YIC TKD is a great place where the kids can have fun and learn about discipline and respect.

Yic is the best Taekwondo school in the Diamond Bar area. Their school is very versatile in the instructors as well as in there curriculum. It’s a comfortable atmosphere to work out in and bring my family to. Classes are available for both children and adults at any level. I recommend this school to all my friends because they have integrity, great customer service and are very professional and friendly. Sweat, learn, defend, smile.

To be honest, all you need to know about YIC Taekwondo is that they treat everyone like family.
I cannot imagine there is a better place to learn taekwondo. I started tkd with the YIC TKD family and rose all the way through my black belt there, and enjoyed every moment of it.
The Cheon family, masters and instructors know how to make taekwondo fun, educational and challenging all at the same time.
Regardless of if you are young or old, just looking for a good work out, to learn something new, or master taekwondo (maybe win gold at the olympics one day?), go to YIC Taekwondo, you’ll never regret it.
