    Yesterday, my father and I attended the Defensive Tactical Level 1 course. We attended the same course 4 years ago and decided that we were way overdue for a C.A.R refresh. In short, we LOVE Civilian Arms Training Source (C.AT.S.). The C.A.R. method of shooting is the most efficient, logical and ergonomic system of shooting we've experienced. With an open mind, and willingness to shift from conventional shooting stances (isosceles/weaver), beginners and seasoned shooters can greatly benefit from implementing the C.A.R. system. Tim George, the Director of C.A.T.S., is awesome. The instructors are passionate about students learning and mastering the new techniques. We felt extremely safe during the demonstrations, drills and live fire practice. We ran through almost 300 rounds during the afternoon live fire session. The morning period was dedicated to education, plastic gun, and dry fire drills. Everything from grip, to sight picture, stoppages, tactical reloads and much more were covered during the 8-hour course. Even though it was our second time through this course, we learned something new and refined our skills. I think we will take Level 1 once more before taking Level 2. Level 1 is fast-paced and at times, intense. Level 2 is at least twice as fast and live-fire starts in the morning, so it's not uncommon to blow through 600 rounds. C.A.T.S offers multi-level tactical pistol, multi-level tactical rifle, tactical shotgun, LEO only, night shoot, and CCW courses. Certificates are awarded via email at the conclusion of training. Thank you, Tim, Lisa, Richard, Jim and the others for another educational and enjoyable experience! We are looking forward to coming back sometime next year.

    I recently completed the Pistol 101 course at Burro Canyon with Tom from L.A. Progressive Shooters,…read moreand it was a transformative experience. To be completely honest, I started this class with a significant amount of fear regarding firearms. However, the patient, safe, and professional manner in which we were taught immediately put my mind at ease. Tom does an incredible job of prioritizing safety above all else, ensuring that every step is understood before moving forward. His teaching partner Val added such a wonderful, welcoming touch to the class. Her presence and guidance made the experience feel even more approachable and inclusive. Because of their combined efforts, I walked away with so much more confidence than I ever thought possible. If you have been hesitant or nervous about taking that first step, I cannot recommend this course enough--you will be in great hands.

    First, thank you Tom for an amazing experience! As someone who's only experience with guns was…read morethrough media/pop culture - I was happy with the training! If you're someone who knows nothing about pistols or don't care to buy one but want to know pistol safety and the "feeling" of using a pistol - I recommend this class! There are many options to choose from but if you're not sure where to start - I recommend the Pistol 101-A: Friendly Intro to Firearms online video!! This will give you a good idea of how you want to proceed while also learning the 4 rules of firearm safety. I took the 4-hr Pistol 101: Safety & Fundamentals training afterwards and honestly time flies when you're learning and having a good time with the instructors and classmates. Also, shout out to my classmates for being supportive and warm, really diverse group! If you do take the in-person trainings at the gun range, I would say please be patient and careful with the driving since it has some curvy areas and wifi is wack up there plus some construction. Definitely take water and snacks!! (FYI; don't put any sweet perfume before the training because the bees wouldn't leave me alone!)

    I attended the Ladies Pistol Firearms and Safety course this past weekend in Burro Canyon. It was…read moresuch an informative and fun 7 hour course! I don't own or even want to own a gun (yet, maybe), but in this day and age, unfortunately, I feel it's necessary to learn how to use one and use one safely and confidently. So I've been wanting to take a firearms training course for a long time and this course was exactly what I was looking for. The first part of the course, we go over everything about the workings of a gun and how to properly handle one. We learn about gun etiquette and laws; it was a lot of material to go over, but Jesse, the owner, was really great at teaching and explaining everything step by step. By the time we actually got to handle a gun, I felt prepared. Not going to lie, I was still a nervous wreck, but with Jesse showing us and reminding us each step of the way, I felt very safe. To my surprise, my aim was actually not bad for a beginner! But I do have to give all the credit to the instructor. I cant say enough just how much I learned that day and I can keep raving about it, but if you're looking for a beginner firearms course, this one is definitely worth it! Thank you Jesse and his team for providing such an awesome learning experience.

    I had a great experience with Jesse at Whitefoot HBT! Jesse is extremely knowledgeable and capable…read more Jesse has an "easy to listen to" way of explaining things. The pace of the class is not pressured and all students get time for input and questions. This was an outstanding day at the range with a real professional, I highly recommend Witefoot HBT!

Coming back to dance felt intimidating, but last year I found Uno's Dance on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I was nervous returning to dance, but I'm so glad I did. I was specifically looking for open-level adult classes and thought it would be fun to try a K-pop class. From the very first class, I realized this isn't just a typical dance studio--it truly feels like a community. Uno teaches full dance covers of entire songs, incorporates formations, and even films the dances in costume, which makes the experience feel complete and rewarding. There are also opportunities to perform throughout the year, which is a huge plus if you enjoy performing or want something to work toward. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and full of positive energy. I genuinely look forward to every class, and dancing consistently has also helped me with my fitness and confidence. Uno has been a big inspiration in helping me rediscover my love for dance, and I'm grateful for the friendships and experiences I've gained here. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a fun, encouraging place to dance and grow.

    I have been going to this place for more than 2 years now…read more Great place for fitness and awesome teacher. I always get positive vibes when I go there. I feel so blessed to have such an instructor who always motivates and takes personal interest towards the fitness for each individual in the class. I love the Killer body class wherein it is the whole body workout. Fun part is that it is not only workout but she also adds little dance movements like salsa, K-pop, shuffle dance for 10-15 mins along with the signature steps of the popular songs. I'm so happy to be a part of this fitness center where I made genuine friends and my teacher is so much dedicated and passionate that there was no day when the Studio was closed or the teacher was absent in this entire past 2 years. She is really a great guide and highly inspirational. Love you Uno :).
