    American Family Kenpo Karate is a place you can learn self defense as well as the art of karate…read more Very kid friendly. The instructors Mr. Wilson and Ms. Alba care about the children and adults they teach. They do not just teach martial arts but good values. Respect, discipline and manners are just a few. My five your old grandson attends classes here. I am very comfortable that he goes here. He is definitely in good hands. For an affordable start up and monthly fee. My grandson is given a uniform (gee), belt, sparing gloves and three lessons a week in a clean studio. The studio isn't massive but has enough space for several students to move around in. Having all the necessary equipment- punching and kicking bags, padded matt and a large mirror to work in front of. The studio even has a sitting area for non-participants to watch the class. Overall, a well ran karate studio taught by people who know Kenpo Karate/ self defense and how to teach to it. Support local businesses especially the good ones. American Family Kenpo Karate is great. I highly recommend this place.

    I looked around San Diego for a self defense place to teach my kids (and complete my own learning)…read more In today's world, it's important that women know how to protect themselves and others. I came upon American Family Kenpo. Having experience in Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu, and Kenpo before, I always remembered Kenpo as having the most comprehensive and effective self defense training. So, I joined with my daughters and have been very pleased since. Kenpo is not meant to be showy, but meant to be real- and to deal with real situations and even multiple opponents. The kids program is excellent. Children practice strikes, blocks, and escape procedures. Kids do not spar against other kids but instead at taught to deal with an adult sized opponent. My girls love it. They are encouraged to work through the hard parts and they are taught discipline and ownership as well. During C19 the studio offered online courses and my kids were just as into it. And, I was super thankful for their willingness to do something difficult for them, but a relief to me with three energetic kids. Please note, this is classified as a gym and therefore they have a gym membership style of payment, etc, so make sure you are ready to commit before you sign up.

    We've been coming here with my son for a little over 3 months now (from almost 5 to now newly…read moreturned 5) and have had an outstanding experience. Seifu Mario is wonderful with the children and achieves a beautiful balance between building genuine relationships with kiddos, while also commanding their respect, focus and discipline. Seifu manages a class full of 4-7 year olds with such ease, keeps the class running smoothly and quickly, and checks in individually with students to keep them progressing in their own KungFu practice. The studio is clean and organized and it's clear that Seifu is truly passionate about what he does as shown through his style, interactions with children and parents.

    My son started with 5 Elements when they offered it at his school as an after school program. He…read moreloved instructor Nathan, and loved doing Kung Fu! Nathan personally reached out to me and let me know that he thought my son would benefit from joining classes on a regular basis at the studio. I spoke to him about my son having issues focusing and sitting still in class (he was 5 at the time) and he said Kung Fu would be perfect for him. He has been doing Kung Fu for almost 4 years now and his behavior, concentration, and focus have improved so much. We love all of the instructors there. They are all so wonderful with the kids, very patient, and diligent. They send monthly newsletters to keep the parents informed, offer camps during school breaks, and hold fun events such as bowling and beach days to keep everyone involved and having fun. I highly recommend 5 Elements!!! Also - during this time where they have not been able to have the studio open, they have been very active virtually! They send emails with new information, as well as reminders about the zoom classes they are offering. I love that my son can still learn and practice from home.

Now I'm a father of two, "going to be 3" and i want the same kind of discipline i have learned while attending such sport. for the past 4 months. my kids change from being a BRAT running around and me constantly yelling at them to calm the HECK down. to Saying.
