The quality of instruction here is top level. The coach combines strong technical skills with patience and encouragement — highly recommended for all ages.”
My 9-year-old daughter, Kylie, had the honor of training with Master Sa and his two national-ranked boys for two sessions, eight weeks each.
Master Sa and his boys took sparring to a whole new level. It was truly eye-opening for us. They didn’t just teach her techniques, they taught her how to think: strategy, timing, rhythm, and they pushed her stamina to a new high.
If you or your family want to learn how to fight, improve fast, and earn those golds, go see Master Sa and his boys!
Master Sa is a phenomenal teacher and instructor. I trained with him back ~10 years ago when I was younger and I only have fond memories. Recently I’ve been getting back into taekwondo and joined Saga to get back into shape! Cannot wait to see what the future holds for me and competition taekwondo, all thanks to Master Sa!
The most amazing program. We finally found something where our 6-year-old feels seen and honored. Master Sa understands each of his students on a unique level and approaches them accordingly, pushing them to be their absolute best, physically and mentally. We are honored to be part of Saga Taekwondo. It’s the best thing that’s happened to us! We love the program so much that we ended up signing our older boys up as well. Five stars all around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Master Sa is an incredible instructor and knows what he’s doing! My 11 year old daughter took his sparring seminar and has grown tremendously in her sparring skills as well as her confidence! He creates a positive, supportive, motivating, fun, yet structured environment for his students to thrive in. Highly recommend checking them out especially if you’re look to learn sparring techniques from a skilled instructor and his nationally ranked sons!
Our family is incredibly grateful for everything Master SA has done for our son. From the beginning, he created an environment where discipline, respect, and encouragement all work together. His teaching style is a perfect balance of structure and positivity—he knows when to push, when to support, and how to bring out the best in every student.
Master SA explains techniques clearly, demonstrates with patience, and makes sure each student understands the “why” behind what they’re learning. He holds his students to high standards, but he also celebrates their progress and helps them stay motivated through every challenge. His classes are focused, well-organized, and full of energy, making training enjoyable while still pushing students to grow.
Because of his guidance, our son gained confidence, stayed committed, and ultimately achieved his black belt—an accomplishment that reflects both his hard work and the incredible instruction he received. Watching his growth has been amazing, and we know so much of that comes from Master SA’s dedication and teaching approach.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, inspiring, and truly invested Taekwondo instructor.
Saga Taekwondo school is a highly competition focused and perfect school for students who are serious about sparring. Both my son and I have learned so much from Master Sa. He has very strong tournament experience and emphasizes on fighting strategy, timing, footwork, and conditioning. Training is intense, well-organized, and designed to prepare athletes for real competition. Highly recommended!
I really enjoy training at Saga Taekwondo! The training style is very focused on real competition and helps students improve a lot technically and mentally. The coaches are supportive and push you to do your best. Everyone here is also super friendly and always cheering each other on, which creates a really positive environment. Highly recommend for anyone interested in competitive taekwondo!
Master Sa was one of my very first martial arts teachers, and he made a huge impact on my journey. He’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about each student’s progress. The lessons I learned from him—discipline, confidence, and respect—stuck with me throughout my life.
If you’re looking for a Taekwondo instructor who will challenge you, support you, and bring out your potential, I can’t recommend Master Sa enough.
Saga Taekwondo is outstanding. Master Sa and the instructors create an environment that is disciplined, encouraging, and highly professional. The competitive sparring team is top-notch, and the training is truly phenomenal. You can see the level of detail and care that goes into developing each student. Their genuine passion has clearly rubbed off on our 9-year-old son, who has made remarkable progress in just a few months and is more passionate than ever about taekwondo.
Beyond technique, they emphasize character, confidence, and respect. Communication with parents is excellent, and the overall atmosphere is positive, organized, and welcoming.
If you’re looking for a place where kids grow not only as athletes but as people, Saga Taekwondo is an exceptional choice.
My kids have been training at Saga for a few months, and it’s been fantastic. Master Sa and his sons do an excellent job teaching respect and discipline about martial arts.
The technical instruction is solid, with age-appropriate breakdown of kicks, blocks, and strikes. My kids are genuinely learning self-defense skills while progressing through belt levels at a good pace.
What really stands out is that the classes are fun. The instructors incorporate games and friendly competitions that keep the kids engaged and excited to attend. They’ve found the perfect balance between discipline and enjoyment.
I highly recommend this program for any parent looking for quality martial arts instruction that builds character while keeping kids engaged.
We had been searching for a Taekwondo school that could help my son take his competition journey to the next level. We were incredibly fortunate to find Master Sa—and even luckier that his school opened right here in Orange County.
From my son’s very first tryout session, we felt like we had finally found “the one.” We had zero hesitation enrolling him in the competition team. Even though it’s only been about a month since he started, the experience has already been exceptional.
Master Sa pushes my son to reach his full potential while keeping training fun, safe, and motivating. A huge bonus is the opportunity to train alongside his sons, who are nationally ranked competitors. Even though my son is still a beginner in competition, Master Sa encourages him to participate in the same activities and trainings his sons attend—including “rumble” sessions with other TKD schools.
It is so evident that Master Sa genuinely cares about his students’ growth both on and off the mat. The environment feels more like a family than a typical Taekwondo school, and we are grateful to be part of the Saga family. My son looks forward to every session, even with all the hard work it requires. He loves training with Ben and Royce—his TKD brothers.
Whether you’re a beginner looking to build confidence or a competitive athlete striving for the podium, this school has everything you need. The discipline, technique, and athleticism taught here are truly unmatched. If you’re looking for real results, a strong community, and world-class sparring training, look no further. Highly recommended!
As a parent, I’m very careful about where I send my kids, and Saga Taekwondo has been such a blessing for our family.
Master Sa is truly passionate and cares deeply about each child’s growth – not just in Taekwondo, but in confidence, focus, and character. You can feel how much heart he puts into every class.
Since joining, my 8 year old has become so motivated! He even finishes his homework early on training days because he wants to give his best. He looks up to the senior students, who are incredible role models and national-level athletes.
We’re so thankful to have found this place. It’s more than a gym – it’s a community that brings out the best in kids.
I originally visited Saga Taekwondo to find a class for my 4-year-old. While she wasn’t quite ready to start yet, I was so impressed by the quality of the instruction and the welcoming environment created by the Sas that I ended up joining myself. The classes are a great workout, but more importantly, they are technically substantive—I leave every session having actually learned something.
My daughter has since joined the kids’ program and is building a good athletic base and having a blast. If you’re looking for a school that balances high-level martial arts with a great community feel, I can’t recommend Saga enough.
My three kids have absolutely loved their Taekwondo classes with Master Sa, Instructor Royce and Instructor Ben at Saga! It has been an incredible experience. My oldest previously trained elsewhere, and the difference in style and technique is noticeable right away. The instruction here feels modern, focused, and clearly informed by top level athletes, while still being fun and engaging for the kids.
The classes are interactive, energetic, and genuinely enjoyable. My kids look forward to every session, which says everything!
We highly recommend this program for anyone who truly wants to learn the art of Taekwondo, along with discipline and respect.
