This dojo is always changing especial senseis and even though they push you to beyond your limit,…read moreyou definitely learn some valuable lessons here and when to walk away. The mantra to show "No Mercy" is to treat someone with extreme harshness which echoes outside of martial arts, that leaves a stain on the soul. John Krease is truly unhinged, but sensei-Lawrence has fight and heart and brought balance to the dojo in a powerful way - but his struggles as a former student turned karate master definitely lead him on a better path. Mixing a splash of Miyagi-Do (the rival dojo)... "when the fight comes to you, you have to be ready to fight back..."... Johnny Lawrence cares and wants you to excel to the best of your ability in all areas of life which is what a true sensei should be and demonstrate, because karate isn't just a form of self defense it's a way of life. And while I've walked away after the All Valley incident pre-2020 as have others... I will never forget Cobra Kai never dies.

Great little spot. I learned how to defend myself here but more importantly- I made some friends…read more Sensei Kreese sometimes drinks when he is teaching me, but I don't mind because I get it #Vietnam. I wear my cooler fanny pack to keep his beers cold and in return he tells me gruesome stories. Sometimes I wish I had something to be depressed about. Until then - I'll just keep on doing happy karate. I just get so happy throwing punches. Thank you

A Family Dojo That Truly Inspires!…read more Joining Hapkido Santa Barbara Dojo in Reseda has been one of the best decisions for our family! This dojo goes beyond teaching martial arts--it instills values that shape character and life skills. The tenets of the school--courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit--are woven into every aspect of training and have already had a profound impact on my 7y.o son. One of the standout features of this dojo is its family-friendly approach. As a parent, being able to participate alongside my child in class has been an incredible bonding experience. It's rare to find a place that truly welcomes and encourages families to train together, and it makes all the difference. Master Garret is phenomenal--patient, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to helping every student succeed both on and off the mat. He focuses on building a strong body, a disciplined mind, and a resilient spirit. Beyond self-defense and martial arts techniques, the dojo teaches students to care for themselves and others, creating a supportive and respectful community. Our family has set a goal to earn our black belts together, and Santa Barbara Dojo has given us the perfect environment to pursue this dream. We couldn't be happier with our experience here, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a place that promotes personal growth, family connection, and a strong sense of community.

I can't recommend this dojo highly enough! If you're looking for a place to learn Hapkido, whether…read moreyou're a complete beginner or an experienced martial artist looking to expand your knowledge, this is the perfect spot. Master Curtis is not only highly skilled but also passionate about teaching. They make sure every student, regardless of skill level, feels confident and supported while learning techniques and self-defense moves. The training space is clean, organized, and equipped with everything needed for comprehensive practice. What really sets this dojo apart is the emphasis on discipline, respect, and community. It's evident that building strong relationships and encouraging each other's growth are central to their philosophy. One of the things I appreciate most is the emphasis on building good character and teaching important life skills like perseverance and respect. It's not just about martial arts; it's about growing as a person. I'm so grateful we found this dojo and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their children can learn self-defense, get active, and build confidence in a supportive setting. THANK YOU MASTER CURTIS!!!!
