Earning his next stripe
Nina B.

Could not be more pleased with our experience with Cal Coast so far! My son started 6 weeks ago and he can't stop talking about class and wants to practice all the time! My older son did 4 years of Tae Keon Do at another local studio years ago and was never this excited about it. The instructors really get the kids excited and engaged. Best decision to join Cal Coast!

My grandsons started with Cal Coast ATA 2 years ago. Mr.Bucaria, Ms. Killian & Mr. Martin have been an important part of the boy's development. The life skills taught and reinforced during lessons, Camps & all activities are so important. Thank you for being part of the boys education.

Absolutely amazing; love everything about this place. Should have come sooner!…read moreA friend of mine has been coming to GBSV for a while and had been bugging me to join him. Life (and Covid) got in the way and I couldn't make it out until a month ago. I'm kicking myself that I didn't do it sooner! Everyone at GBSV couldn't possibly be nicer, more welcoming, more accommodating, or more supportive. I'm an older guy, almost 60, and they made me feel like family from my first minute there. Coach Luis, Coach Jason, Professor Andre, Duda, everyone ... you're amazing and I love my time there. The owners and staff have done a superb job of building a culture where not only do they take care of everyone and help guide them on their jujitsu journey but the other students are just as helpful and supportive. Every other student I've worked with has helped me get better and I'm very grateful to everyone. I'm still way down on the learning curve but I learn something new every day I'm there and when I leave I can't wait to get back. If you're thinking about trying it, don't hesitate any longer. You will absolutely love it.

Prior to that, he was happy coming to jujitsu class, every staff were nice and friendly. They even helped me convinced my son to stay but he was adamant not to comeback. Otherwise, I'd still recommend this place to all Parents.

Tang So Do is a Korean style Martial Arts but this school is no different, the values, tradition, culture and patriotism is integrated in the lessons they teach. Yes, I too learned this way at Shotokan, an Okinawan Karate and has similar instructional styles and practices, that dates back centuries. I've never seen Christian so respectful, measured and focused during his lessons here, he is attentive, laser focused and seems to be breathing and absorbing every aspect of GM Flame's instruction. During my visit, the classroom was full of students, different belt levels and skills but the most important here, is its inclusivity and highly- interactive styles of teaching. The Black Belts are also actively supporting the instruction but having them engage each other in sparring and hand to hand takedowns was enlightening and inspiring to watch. Meanwhile, I hope that they find a better and bigger landscape to teach these skills and practices to our children, they need a bigger space to be able to comprehensively inculcate the skills and talents this school is trying to articulate. Overall, I had fun and watching them engage each other, took me back to my old Shotokan days, where I would do the same routines and still enjoys watching the weapons being used and the tactics that built personal values and self-confidence of our children. Great job, GM Flame .... , I know that our little Christian has a great mentor, sensei and friend, we are confident that he will also grow into a very molded and responsible American warrior as he continue to learn these values!

It's wonderful to see my daughter finally find a sport she truly loves--we even have fun practicing together at home! We feel so valued here. Huge thanks to Jen and Casey for such an awesome experience; we're proud to be members of Kraken!

My 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter have been training here and absolutely love it. Coach Daniel is amazing with the kids -- he keeps things fun while still teaching discipline and technique. Professor Casey brings such a strong, positive energy to the dojo and really sets the tone for the whole team. Since joining, our experience has been nothing but great. The community is welcoming, the training is top-notch, and we've seen so much growth in both our kids. Highly recommend Kraken to anyone looking for a place to train Jiu jitsu. Side note- they also offer Muay Thai, women's self denfense, taekwondo and they just added an adult MMA class.

Ever fantasized about becoming a Ninja? Now you can actually realize that fantasy…read more I was going to give this academy one star but was afraid Mr. Woodard would hurt me, so I changed the rating. Just kidding! This academy rocks. This is a serious martial arts academy, where you really can learn the traditional ninjutsu / taijutsu art, and continue to grow in the art for a lifetime. That's right, ninjutsu is a great art for people of all ages and stages of physical condition. It helps to be in good athletic condition, but you can be pretty darn dangerous when you're 90, if you continue to train. In fact, Matt Woodard, the academy's shihan, has recently adjusted his program to more closely follow the methods established in Japan by the grand masters. Most of his classes are two hours, but he has a few that are an hour... just in case two hours is a bit much. I've taken other martial arts: Tang Soo Do and Shotokan. I have friends who became advanced at Tae Kwon Do and the ever-popular macho Mixed Martial Arts. Feh. Nothing compares. Yes, there is a reason Ninjutsu artists are banned from MMA competitions. Think of Ninjutsu as Legos. You nail down about 8 basic techniques, then creatively link them together to form an infinite number of moves. Isn't that what "art" is? Yes, the art of creatively causing pain and mayhem. So, here I am, in my 50s and I'm not afraid. No, I'm not going to cruise through Skid Row at midnight. That's just plain stupid. And that's also part of what you learn. In addition to learning how to face-plant a bad guy, you also learn how not to be stupid. Anyway, you learn cool stuff that modernizes the art. Stuff like how to take away a gun or knife from some desperate dumbass. But once you're a black belt (which takes about 3 years), you'll learn the more daunting weapons like the sword and bo staff. In the lower ranks, YES, you learn to throw the ninja stars (shuriken for cry'n out loud!), and to properly use nunchuks, and other cool weapons. Ever thrown somebody with a string? Yep, you can do it. It's all very cool and useful. As a bonus, the Woodards take whomever can afford the time and money, to Japan about twice a year, to work with the grand master. My son and I went to Japan with the academy in August of 2011. It was an unforgettable experience. I had always wanted to go to Japan and this was the ideal way to do it. I didn't train as much as my son did but the training I did do, I still remember. It was also really good to be with a group with the leadership and some members already familiar with the train system, culture, local restaurants, etc., in the Northeastern portions of the Tokyo area. One hidden benefit of going to Japan is affirmation that you have received the best training in the world, via Todai Dojo Ninjutu Academy. At first I was a little apprehensive to be that Ugly American training among a world-wide variety of Ninjutsu students in Japan. My fears were quickly allayed when I realized that I had a better foundation than 90% of the students training in Japan. You can rest assured that this academy is the real thing and that you are being prepared to practice the art, from and among the best in the world. I'd give Todai Dojo 6 stars if: 1) Find a way to open on Friday, even if manned by one of the Instructors In Training, 2) Persuade Mrs. Woodard to teach more. No offense, but it is really cool to have some variety. Hey it took 7 flight instructors before I pieced it all together for my pilot's license. Mrs. Woodard is a fine asset to the academy. Go sign up for an introductory deal at the academy. Ninjutsu is a hard martial art to gain authoritative training in. There's a Mc Dojo on every street corner. This place is different. Matt Woodard is the highest ranked Ninjutsu Shihan in the area... maybe in the USA... and he's RIGHT HERE in Moorpark! Plus, he's really cool. What more could you ask for?

I've been training in different Bujinkan dojos over the years and I really enjoy this one. It is…read morefriendly but what you are taught is serious life skills to defend yourself but on a deeper level - self reflection and transformation. Scott and Pablo are great teachers and they are genuinely super nice people and well worth trying out. They are very knowledgeable and you learn something new and real world effective at every class. There is something very enlightening about the Bujinkan martial arts only to be realized when you seek it. I'm very happy at this dojo and I hope you will find your experience as rewarding as I do.
