Martial Arts

My son has been attending Jacob Flame's Tang Soo Do University for over a year and we absolutely love it! Master and Mrs. Flame are great teachers, especially with the little kids! The classes are always fun and energizing and the kids are learning more than just karate. They learn self control, confidence, and discipline all while having a great time!!!!

Kurt Lampson the Karate teacher of Malibu Martial Arts is the best of the best. I worked with him from the ages of 4 to 14 years old. From a technical perspective I learned to control my body and my mind in a way that helped me reach my ultimate goal of becoming a professional soccer player. I am a master at what I do and the skill set I earned under Lampson is a main reason I can run, jump, and change direction in the way I do. More importantly Kurt Lampson teaches his students a mind set. He teaches the importance of ethics, hard work, discipline, and that if you put your mind towards a goal it can be achieved. He gave me the belief when many of my own soccer coaches told me I would never play college soccer let alone become a professional. Kurt is a wonderful person. He is personable, loving, patient, empathetic, and wise. He is not just my former Karate teacher, but is a true friend who I trust my life with. As I overcome obstacles in life I know I can talk to Kurt and he would give me the exact advice I need. When you work with Kurt you are not just learning Karate you are fulfilling your potential as a human. Kurt worked with both of my brothers as well. He has been working with my youngest brother, Noah for 12 years and counting. Noah is confident, fit, strong, and ready to take on any challenge in large part because of Kurt Lampson. I am grateful everyday that Kurt Lampson has been not just part of my life, but part of my families life.

Have you dreamed of being a ninja? This is the place. The instructors at Newbury Park Martial Arts Center are fantastic with both depth and breadth of knowledge, experience and talent. The dojo is a very welcoming, positive and engaging environment. On the surface, the To-Shin Do style of martial arts is practical self-defense. I've learned how to defend against real attacks without any rules that might occur on the street. At a much deeper level, practicing at the dojo been an opportunity for me to learn more about myself and develop practical skills and tools to help me live more powerfully in the world. I am grateful for the opportunity to train here.

My son really enjoys attending ATA Martial Arts. So far, it has given him joy and more confidence. Mr. Jung and his staff are very friendly and nurturing, teaching the kids not only martial arts, but respect towards others. In addition, I liked that there was a self defense class the other day for members and siblings as well.

Best school ever u learn how to be fast nd strong :)

Kru Ken is the best person to get you in shape. Extremely knowledgeable in every spec of the game. Really friendly person and a great Muay Thai Master. Don't go anywhere else.

Our children are students at the American Academy of Self Defense. Sifu Rick is an excellent teacher and role model. Our children are learning self defense in a safe and caring environment. They are learning positive values such as respect, hard work and discipline. As a result, they are developing self confidence which has benefited them in school and at home. I highly recommend the American Academy of Self Defense.

My son has been going to Kovar's for about a year now. I really can not recommend it enough. I may sign up for the adult class as well.

Club TKD is awesome. Its a place to learn self defense in a safe and friendly environment with nice and helpful instructors.

My son did Karate till he received his Blue Belt but he never really LOVED it. He absolutely loves Jujitsu. Christopher DePalma is amazing with children! This place is NOT a "pay for your Black Belt" facility. You aren't sucked into contracts which is so rare these days. My son has excelled at this and now even wants to wrestle and combine both Jujitsu and wrestling. Plenty of classes. I can't say enough good things about Bushido or Sensei DePalma. Totally worth your time to at least try a class!

ICE Urban Combat Martial Arts is the best training you can get. All three of my children and my husband and I have trained here for over 12 years. The quality of instruction is unparalleled and the practical approach to martial arts, including Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, makes the time you spend here invaluable. The lessons learned transcend what you do on the mat and are applicable to every aspect of life and work.

I was introduced to Valor roughly a year and a half ago by my dad. I was 15 with not much self confidence, no athletic ability whatsoever, and had no idea what Muay Thai was for that matter. The staff there was eager and determined to change all of that, I never felt embarrassed for not understanding a drill or messing up at all and by the time my second day of training came I was welcomed like I’ve been there for years! Coach Jesse and Clifton never once forgot my name and always made sure I was understanding every concept we learned. As time went on I was invited to train with the fight team lead by Kru Patrick Rivera who made sure to introduce me to all the the fighters. Now I am in just about every day and have competed multiple times. I’ve been to other martial art gyms before and they will never and I mean never top what Valor Training Center has to offer. This program is for everyone. Men, women, children you name it. Whether you want to compete, stay in shape, or learn how to defend yourself, I assure you that Valor will meet your needs

Seriously, look no further. This school is absolutely phenomenal. As a novice I can only account for my anecdotal experiences: having only been training here a month I was able to repeatedly submit several practitioners at other local schools(209, Gracie) who had almost a years experience more than myself. My best experience with this school came when I needed knee surgery a few months ago. The coach was willing to completely let me off the hook for the tuition for the time I was out. Anyone who has been to other martial arts studios can attest to what a rarity this is. The environment is clean, everyone is friendly, coaches are extremely knowledgeable and helpful and the atmosphere encourages humility and camaraderie.
