We are beyond proud of the work our child has done there and it brings me great joy to see the skills he has gained both physically and mentally. Often times at home our child will say, "I'm going to go meditate for a little while". If that's not a valuable life skill in a world of chaos I don't know what is. Confidence, self-control, respect, responsibility: thank you for instilling these qualities in our child.

All the instructors/senseis and students are so nice, helpful, and patient with one another while still challenging each other to grow. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good martial arts school, it is such a great community to be a part of. Price is very fair as well for a school, actually even better than fair for the amount of education you get. Parking is limited but usually for the night time classes you can find a bunch of street parking. The metered parking stops at 6 I believe.

I thought that sounds like a lot of fun. So I called the number and was able to secure an appointment a week later and received several emails during that week. Asking me to check off and sign a waiver and also told I could invite a friend. I decided to invite my best friend and later. We decided what day we could go and signed up. We got there a few minutes early and this place was really nice in burbank right off the five freeway near bueno vista avenue and found a parking spot and went in to the front where we were greeted by a receptionist who had us fill out the waiver again and check all the boxes and sign it, and then we were good to go. A very large man came out and said he was our trainer.And his name was robert, and he was an ex army man who had been stationed overseas and had.I've been in many real life.Dangerous situations in combat. He showed us many different training rooms, where he explained that they don't use real guns with real bullets, but they use laser guns or bullets that were round.And made of rubber. Different rooms taught different types of training. Including learning self defense techniques where people can basically learn many types of moves that they can make if somebody were to be attacking them.And they did not have a weapon or didn't want to start by using a weapon. He then took us into our own private training room and explained different laws and different techniques of how you should respond in Different scenarios and then put on videos for us to practice with. But the first thing he did was show us a target and had us use laser guns to aim and fire at a target. He taught us how to get a gun out of our holster properly.And how to aim and shoot and first in a relaxed situation.And then in a real life type scenario with a video in front of us, we were ask to respond as if it were a real life situation. All in all we both learned a lot. How to fun time? And at the very end, we were offered a membership for twelve months.Although it was a little expensive for our pocket books, it was tempting.And if I were maybe thirty years younger, I probably would have gone for it kind of like a gym membership. In any event, it was a great experience. And fun, and we learned a lot about the laws. And how you can defend yourself. And when you can shoot, and when you cannot shoot. So I do think it was worth the hour-long training just to learn that. And had a fun time, so I strongly recommend it, and I will take a picture of Roberts business card. So, if you would like to go to your 1 hour training session, you might call them up and see if you can't at least go. And check it out, like I did. And then you may decide you want to do it twice a month for a year, or longer.

I took the Women's Basics course after moving to LA and it changed my life! I would sign all of my…read morefriends up for this class if I could. This course teaches essential skills for verbal de-escalation, boundary setting, and physical self-defense, but what really sets it apart is how those skills are ingrained through fully-adrenalized, full-force fight scenarios. That, and the fact that the IMPACT instructors are phenomenal. I'm always impressed by their attentiveness, innovative teaching techniques, and their emphasis on students' safety during physical confrontations. Since taking the Basics course, I've successfully used verbal de-escalation tools twice in real-life situations, including during a frightening incident when a muscular man ran straight at me and blocked my path while I was walking in my neighborhood. I've also applied the skills I've learned in the workplace and most other areas of life. It may sound hyperbolic, but the class really changed how I walk through the world. If you can't commit to the full Basics course, consider taking the Intro Class. It's a great place to start. IMPACT also offers an advanced course and a "Defense Against the Armed Assailant" course for those who have completed the Basics. I took both and highly recommend!

I initially joined the gym to learn boxing, but quickly I was doing flying kicks and learning how to take down opponents. A great thing about Master Sayed and Fight Factor are the variety of workouts offered. Every session is different, so you never get bored. You can try different things each session and mix up your workouts to keep things interesting and challenging. He will have you coming back for more in no time. What sets Master Sayed apart from other trainers is his attention to detail and his dedication to helping his students become better. He is diligent in correcting all the details of your form and technique, which will help you achieve the best results possible. He has over 40 years of experience and that shows in his training methods and knowledge base. He is able to apply each martial arts move into life scenarios, which is incredibly valuable. He is also an excellent motivator, always pushing me to my limits and beyond, so I can achieve my full potential.

Hooray LA Combatives has a yelp page! :)…read more As I have mentioned in my previous review (under "Fitness is Art") this has been the most rewarding class, well group actually, that I have ever trained with. I also can't believe how blessed I am to have instructors like Steve and Raffi. I not only admire them for their years of martial arts experience and training, but they are wonderful instructors who are caring and will take the time to teach students how to execute techniques effectively. Also these instructors are one of the very few martial artists I know who focus on traditional martial arts and self defense. The curriculum shown at this school is great for a beginner and even an experienced martial artist. I myself learned techniques which I thought I had already known but was shown in a different light. Before I came to LA Combatives I was trying to find my martial arts path once I realized I didn't get what I really wanted out of the other places where I have trained at. I was looking for a system that emphasized self defense and I have truly found this at LA Combatives Group. So go ahead and challenge yourself. I will even hold the focus mitts for you when you come in :)
