ELITE TAEKWONDO CENTER - Norcal Teamelite USA Poomsae Team Training Center

"It is very good there and you have to bow to the masters and grandmasters before you go (only 1 grandmaster). One time the students saw a red spider. In the Taekwondo school, there is this thing called sparing gear that you get when you turn the yellow belt. But sometimes it arrives after weeks. The belts are White, Yellow, and Intermediate Yellow (Yellow with black in the middle), Orange, Purple, and Intermediate Purple (Purple with black in the middle), Green, Blue, and Intermediate Blue (Blue with black in the middle), Black, Red, and Intermediate Red (Red with Black in the middle), Black, 1st Dan Black Belt, 2nd Dan Black Belt, 3rd Dan Black Belt, 4th Dan Black Belt, 5th Dan Black Belt, 6th Dan Black Belt, 7th Dan Black Belt, 8th Dan Black Belt, and, The 9th Dan Black Belt. If a Black Belt is lower than the 7th Dan Black Belt, it is called a master but if a Black Belt is higher than the 7th Dan Black Belt, it is called a Grandmaster. So 7th Dan Black Belt is Important because the 2 types of black belts meet at 7th Dan Black Belt."

"I was introduced to Elite Taekwondo by my best friend who has been talking repeatedly about how great Grand Master Bae's TKD programs for his son as well as the competition programs at local, state and national levels. Elite TKD provides a "serious" Martial Art training that affects real discipline, passion, skills, etc. When I watched what's going on in my kids' classes, I was sure that Elite TKD will be able to provide a lot of opportunities for my kids to compete at a local and state level. My kids stopped practicing TKD for a while, but when they re-started with Grand Master Bae, I see great improvements in their listening skill, and they have better focus! My kids will definitely continue TKD classes/activities here, and we recommend our family and friends to join us. I am extremely happy with Grand Master Bae's real martial art that is very different from some typical & boring after-school activities."

"This is a great place to take your child or children for learning discipline. Instructed by Grand Master Kwang Il Bae, 8th Dan Kukkiwon, Master Instructor, World Taekwondo International Referee, International/National (USA) Coach. GM Bae students competes in local, state, national and international events, where his students became TeamUSA member. GM Bae is passionate about teaching Taekwondo at all levels and we love his teaching methods and he is really great with children. We highly recommend this location for anyone wanting to get their children started in learning Korean Martial Art - Taekwondo."

"The only practical way to train is full contact with an emphasis on the fight/match not points. This is something Master Na knows very well that few others do."
