A Welcoming Taekwondo School for Buena Park’s Korean-American Community
Buena Park has a vibrant Korean-American community around The Source OC
and the Beach Boulevard area, widely known as Buena Park Koreatown.
With Korean restaurants, markets, businesses, and cultural destinations throughout the area,
Buena Park has become a familiar community hub for many Korean-American families.
US Taekwondo Center La Mirada is conveniently located near Buena Park,
and families have the added comfort of being able to communicate in
both English and Korean.
Parents can comfortably ask questions about their child’s adjustment to class,
training progress, belt advancement, class schedule, and other concerns
in the language they prefer.
This can be especially helpful for families whose children primarily speak English
while parents or grandparents feel more comfortable communicating in Korean.
As a Korean martial art, Taekwondo is also rooted in traditional values.
Under Master Kim’s instruction, students learn not only physical techniques
but also respect, perseverance, self-control, and discipline.
Korean-speaking families are always welcome to contact us with questions.

we invite you to experience Master Kim’s teaching approach in person.
Taekwondo for Ages 4–6
“Is four years old too young to start Taekwondo?”
It is one of the most common questions parents ask.
A Taekwondo class for ages 4–6 should be designed around a young child’s
attention span, coordination, and stage of physical development,
rather than simply being an easier version of an older child’s class.
At US Taekwondo Center, young students are introduced to basic Taekwondo movements
while also learning to listen, follow directions, wait their turn,
develop balance, and control their bodies.
Children can begin developing:
- Listening and focus
- Balance and coordination
- Basic Taekwondo movements
- Confidence and self-control
- Respect and good manners
If you are considering Taekwondo for a 4- or 5-year-old,
it is important to look beyond the minimum enrollment age
and make sure the class environment is appropriate for younger children.
Our goal is to make a child’s first Taekwondo experience a positive beginning
that builds the confidence to say, “I can do this.”
Taekwondo for Kids, Teens, Adults & Beginners
US Taekwondo Center welcomes young children, teens, adults,
and complete beginners with programs designed for different ages and skill levels.
Adults looking for a new way to stay active, teens who want to build confidence and focus,
and families interested in beginning Taekwondo together are welcome to contact us.
No previous martial arts experience is required.
Beginners can start with basic stances, movement, and techniques
before progressing step by step.
More Ways to Train
In addition to traditional Taekwondo fundamentals, kicking techniques, and forms,
students may have opportunities to experience additional martial arts training
such as Bo Staff and Nunchaku, depending on the current program.
These activities can provide a fun new challenge while helping students develop
concentration, coordination, and body control.
Please contact the school for current availability, age requirements,
and class schedules.
