What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Esther Jaime Lee

"I’ve been taking adult TKD classes 2 days a week for 3 months after taking a 4 year break and love it. My other schools didn’t teach me all the forms/poomsaes for my red belt level, just the kicks, and I was ridiculed for not knowing something I was never taught which is why I left. Not here at Lima TKD - they work with me to help me relearn old forms and learn new ones and this is the only TKD school I’ve been to in the LA area with a lot of adult students in their 20s, 30s, 40s and up."

Leyna Tran

"I joined Lima Taekwondo last year and I have grown so much through the friendly and hardworking community at Lima Taekwondo Martial Arts Academy. Lima Taekwondo provides an excellent environment to train and learn.The masters are friendly and always help me improve to become a better martial artists. I always learn something new and improve everyday. They prepare us for our belt tests and help us in competitions to the best of their abilities. The results are amazing. When I competed for the first time, the master gave me reassurance and many tips to help me win my competition. Lima Taekwondo is like a family to me. Go Lima Taekwondo Martial Arts Academy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!!!"

Mark Winn

"I had taken classes before at Lima Taekwondo a few yrs back and I had throughly enjoyed my experience there. So- esp because I have more disposable $$ so I couldn't wait to sign up again. AndI took a class yesterday and I wasn't disappointed at all! And especially as the Pandemic winds down..Thank God- Lima hasn't allowed any of their specific health requrements to lapse! Their studio is as clean as it always has been! And even more so!!!! I am taking their twice a week mornings at 9am class because this works best for me. My class yesterday was taught by a young gentleman- Master Henry. And he was very polite- and attentive in both his presentation and his teaching; which for me- as a senior citizen was quite refreshing! to say the least. And in conclusion- Lima Taekwondo is a husband and wife family owned small business and they show and prove how this fact alone brings such an added dimension to the the Martial Arts mix!! And in addition Lima Taekwondo has excellent well lit free parking adjacent to the studio. And trust me- It's dollars$$ well spent! Esp if you're looking for Excellent Martial Arts training!!

"My family has been going to Lima Taekwondo in Torrance for almost 8 years. We have all received our Black Belts there and continue to train and improve our techniques. All of the instructors are great! We love Lima Taekwondo!"
