Shambhala Martial Arts | Brea Martial Arts Classes | Taekwondo School

"Over a year has passed since I began studying Tae Kwon Do at Shambhala Martial Arts. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my experience and I’m glad to be learning at Shambhala in Brea. The Grand Master (Master Yang) is an incredible teacher. He does an excellent job of breaking down all of the lessons into small steps and developing students of all skill levels. Grand Master Yang’s passion for Tae Kwon Do truly brings a positive and fun energy to each class. From the leadership to the students, everyone I’ve shared the mat with at Shambhala has been supportive and welcoming. It feels great to learn within a community of students who enjoy sharing their knowledge as well as helping each other grow as martial artists. From adults to children, I’ve seen students of all ages and backgrounds learning Tae Kwon Do at Shambhala. There are programs that are designed for all skill levels and age groups. The facility is spacious and always clean. This really helps reinforce a welcoming atmosphere. My favorite aspect of learning at Shambhala is understanding the philosophies that are taught alongside each skill level. Each belt carries a unique philosophy (Example: White Belt = HONOR). Within our classes, we learn the deeper meanings of each philosophy and how to apply them into our lives. This emphasis on personal development is what has stood out to me the most at Shambhala Tae Kwon Do. I was excited to discover a martial arts school that not only focuses on developing self-defense skills, but also introduces quality of life principles that help bring clarity and empowerment to each student. This truly feels like a comprehensive martial arts education. Reflecting on my Shambhala journey, it’s rewarding to see the progress I have made over the past year. I have noticed several improvements in my personal life including: greater self-confidence & happiness. I’ve also discovered a new passion in Tae Kwon Do. There is a sense of joy and fulfillment in learning & developing a new skill. I’m thankful that I’ve found a learning program with a great community and leadership team that have helped me better understand the wholeness of being a martial artist."

"This is by far one of the best TKD places! My so. Enjoys it and Master Yang is great at teaching from young kids to adults."

"Both my daughters attend Master Yang's Dojan. Have been for years. I get a strong sense he genuinely cares for their development not only in martial arts but as human beings. Disapline and respect for others is a strong focus. Also, the trainers working for Master Yang are excellent. Shambhala has no doubt aided in my girls positive development. Highly recommended."

"My family and I have studied at Shambhala Martial Arts with Grand Master Yang for many years. He is a remarkable instructor who integrates a high level of skill with a peaceful heart and wisdom well beyond his years. We choose this school among many competitors because of the family-oriented culture that Grand Master Yang and his staff and colleagues have built. We are honored to be not only his students, but to be treated as his family. If you are considering starting training as a beginner (adult or child), this is an excellent place to learn technique, self-defense, and conditioning in an environment that will support the pace you are ready for. Students range from preschool age to 70's and beyond. You will be welcome--and you will love it!"

"My kids have been coming to this studio for about 3 years. My eldest is a black belt now, and my 2nd is a red belt. Master Yang has been very patient, and is a good teacher of not only tae kwon do skills but also of life skills. the kids also have learned how to effectively use nunchuks and bo staff."
