“In the month we have started at Kuk Sool Won of Sylmar we have had such a great and positive experience. We were hesitant at first because our child is high energy and we were worried about him being able to stay on task.Master Nathan has been very patient as well as making sure he is learning.Overall everyone who we have encountered, staff and instructors have been so welcoming and supportive of our needs.“

“Best decision I ever made. Instructors and staff are awesome ? Thank you for all you guys do to make my son better“

“No better dojo for traditional Japanese karate! Children and adults of all skills levels benefit from excellent instruction.“

“Strength and Mobility has drastically improved my life in the year+ since I became a member. The workouts and monthly programs are thoughtfully designed and each person is fully supported by the spectacular coaches and gym family that they have cultivated. As a person with a disability, I’m especially happy with how the coaches modify exercises to fit my personal needs and push me to continue my progress. I’m so incredibly grateful for Strength and Mobility and can’t recommend it enough.“

“Lee is the best sensei to your children as well as the adults a unique quality of patience and principle!!“

“I'm so happy I found this place. We signed up with the summer special, but will continue with membership once the special expires. Mayid & his Kru are all amazing. Especially Sebastian, he is just the best, best sense of humor and very friendly. My girls enjoy it. I will hopefully soon enroll my 4yr old and then my almost 3 yr old .“

“What a wonderful place. Mr. V an incredible leader and a mentor of this establishment. Incredible atmosphere and a place where you feel save leaving your child. Every person in there is extremely nice and polite. They lead by example and I would recommend anyone signing up with this team.“

“My son absolutely adores Master Lee. Couldn’t ask for more for my kiddos first group experience!“

“Great place to learn and get RNC'd by the nicest people. Facility is clean and well maintained. Offers BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Wrestling, kids classes and privates.“

“I recently returned to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after a hiatus of a few years, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to join Studio 93 in North Hollywood, California. Professor Gustavo runs a fantastic gym that's not only impeccably clean but also prioritizes individualized instruction.Having started just two months ago, I appreciate the careful attention Gustavo gives to each student. He takes the time to ensure everyone understands the techniques, providing plenty of one-on-one time. Safety is a top priority, and Gustavo's commitment to preventing injuries creates a positive training environment.If you're looking for a BJJ gym where you can learn, grow, and train safely, Studio 93 is the place to be. Gustavo's expertise and dedication make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Highly recommended!“

“I had an amazing period of time practicing at 10th Planet Burbank. The coaches are professionals and the level of trainees is exactly right that everyone fit it.“

“So proud of being part of the TK Tae Kwon Do family, thank you masters for making us feel like home“

“Fantastic classes and top notch instruction where you can learn real, applicable and effective self defense techniques in a controlled and ego-free environment. A rare find these days. I initially found combatives academy when searching for a Filipino martial arts school for knife/weapons defense and fighting. I figured I carry a knife so may as well learn how to use it. After just the first class I was shocked at how much I didn't know (in a good way). Sifu Raffi has a very calm, detailed and easy to follow way of teaching. He's also a very talented martial artist which was obvious to me after seeing just a few demonstrations of techniques. So many self defense situations involve a weapon even on one side. Knives, baseball bats etc. This art really covers a lot of things. I have previously trained in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.I asked about the Jeet Kune Do classes and the instructor recommended I take this, along with my Escrima classes to have a complete system as the hand to hand translates well over to the weapons. After the JKD class I took a few weeks later, I was very impressed with how complete of a martial art it was. In one class we covered some effective strikes as well as a few grappling moves. Each technique was shown in detail and we were given ample time to really practice it and get it right with a training partner. An all encompassing art like JKD is really what you need for self defense. It's also a fantastic workout along with stretching, etc. The JKD along with Escrima covers all the bases for me, effective striking, grappling, distance control plus weapons use and defense. I would highly recommend trying the 2 free classes if you're on the fence! Hopefully I'll try a Silat class in the future and can update my review with that aspect.“

“Best gym I’ve ever seen coaches are the most badass mfs out there if ur not goin to Hayastan mma what are u doing with ur life.“

“You want a great place for your children to learn... this is the place. Self confidence, self discipline, and discipline. GRAND MASTER and his staff are great.“

“We love this place! My son has been going here for a year and he's also a part of the plum canyon after school program. Awesome people and amazing program!“

“Naw but all jokes aside. On some real stuff. This place is underrated fr. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and dedicated to helping students succeed. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and provides a welcoming atmosphere for practitioners of all levels. The bathroom is very spacious and nice as well. The classes are structured efficiently, balancing rigorous training with a focus on technique and discipline. Overall, I couldn't be happier to join DK taekwondo. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, I highly recommend this dojo for its outstanding instruction, friendly community, and commitment to excellence in Taekwondo training.One aspect that sets this dojo apart is the sense of community. Fellow students are friendly and supportive, creating a positive learning environment. The camaraderie among members fosters a sense of belonging, making every session enjoyable“

“I have been training here for the past 4 years and couldn't be happier. The school is all about teaching art, and unlike other schools, they are not after your wallet. They also have classes for women and kids. All in all, if you're looking to learn JKD/MMA, this is the place to be!“

“Our son just joined TK and it's been an amazing experience! We love the energy and the structure. We're really looking forward to his growth and highly recommend TK because their instruction is valuable in his development and their instructors are amazing!“

“Hi! I am a black belt at this Dojang and I just wanted to say that it is truly life changing.“

“Sifu Irven Burton, is my trainer at LA fitness. He has been my trainer for almost a year. Through him I learned that most of the exercises that I were I was doing were not entirely correct or did not get the results I was looking for. I started working with Irven, like I said a year ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. He has helped me a great deal with my balance and my strength. As well as my psyche. Exercises are geared towards stamina, towards strength, towards mobility,And muscle development. I highly recommend Sifu Irven Burton for strength training for posture training.“

“Sensei Rocky is the best! Great instruction broken down into traditional terms. Everyone is so friendly. A nice nonjudgmental environment. 100% recommend.“

“LOVE. My 12yo son is just starting, was very nervous the first day, but they had him fitting right in. My son has social anxiety, but craves individual style physical challenges (climbing, parkour...). Hapkido has been a perfect fit. I thought it would be "too baby/too beginner" for him, as a 12yo, but even with younger kids in the beginner class, he didn't feel too old. They challenge them right away to step up to level, and he left practicing the moves for hours.“

“Show ur calendar for ur upcomng events .Especially where u have shaved ice and food . When do plan to have that event ths year ?“

“If you would like your child to gain technical skills, develop relationships that encourage him to be a better person, and feel more and more self-confident, this is your place. Master Shawn holds his students to a high standard, and in this day and age, when expectations and standards are so lacking in our children's lives, I feel like Master Shawn and his crew are helping me parent.“

“Where do I began!!! (I never write reviews btw) Master Sam has been a true blessing I wish I found FKMA years ago. I currently have my son Giovanni enrolled and we don't plan on going anywhere-EVER lol. I've done martial arts for a couple years so I have a pretty good idea what to look for.. these days "some" Martial Arts places treat your kid like a car payment: 8,12 and 15 month contracts plus more extra's like large cancellation fee's. I went 7 different martial locations through SFV and they all have the same carefree script plus exact crazy monthly pricing. After reading reviews I finally found Master Sam and his team at FKMA and automatically feel in love with how everything was ran. First day walking in I had an hour conversation with Giovanni in his office not even talking about martial arts .. more about Giovanni's past, present and where he would like to go in the future!!! His approach is amazing he wants your child to flourish inside and outside his classes with grades, family and friends just life in general. Shit! After the first day I walked out learning something as a parent ..he really is a awesome man.... now to his kick ass staff! Nadia Master Sam's daughter I met only a handful of times but she's a total sweetheart. AMANDA, ANDREA & NICK are perfect additions to the classes ALL BLACK BELTS they're not there to watch your kid throw lazy kicks and punches. You better come correct with the 2 ladies cause you will get called out lol this places stresses "doing it right". No push overs here trust me when I say your kid will learn and have fun doing it. Bottom line been here for a while coming 3 sometimes 4 times a week (when we can) and wouldn't change a thing. Master Sam even switched up the times later for parents to make it easier to bring your child after school and work - 4:30pm and 5:30pm sessions! Come sign up you wont be sorry- tell em Justin sent ya :)“
