They do an amazing job of building confidence, discipline, respect, and perseverance while making every class fun and engaging. The facility is clean, organized, and has a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels like part of the family. It's been amazing to watch the growth in both skills and confidence since joining. The instructors know how to challenge students while keeping them motivated and excited to come back. If you're looking for a top-notch taekwondo school with exceptional instructors and a positive environment, I can't recommend Sky Martial Arts enough. Five stars all the way!

My son has been going here since he was just under 6years old. At 10 now, he has weathered the…read moreCOVID shutdown and learned so much from this program. To be clear, this is not just a Martial Art. It is a Self Defense form. My son has an older friend (by a year) that does BJJ and swears he can beat my son - sometimes being over-assertive while wrestling around to prove it. My son just tells him, "I can beat you, but I don't need to." This program attests to that response. He is not cocky, just confident. A healthy mix of "Don't start anything, there won't be anything" with a little "F around and find out". This is a great feeling for a pre-teen to have as they enter adolescence. Quiet confidence. Another review sums up Hezi's style well. A unique mix of "karate (kicking/punching) to judo (throws/joint manipulation) to Krav Maga (Israeli street fighting) to [Hisardut] disarming an assailant with a gun/knife/bat." My son is not trained to do katas or a series of gestures and moves. He is trained to avoid a fight, and disengage from a fight if backed into one - by any means necessary. He does not seek a fight. What makes this place even more special are people like Sasha and Ethan. I have had so many supportive and healthy conversations with Ethan (front desk support), that he makes it enjoyable to walk into the building. He makes it enjoyable to walk up to him and say Hi. You are not inconveniencing him... Sasha might be the secret ingredient here. My son is a better young man because of her specifically. She always has the kindest words of support and encouragement for him. Do yourself a favor: Try this place; and then try it again. You won't be disappointed.

Monarchs Gymnastics has been like a second home for our family. My daughter has been doing…read moregymnastics here since she was three years old, and she's been on the team for the past six years, training about 20 hours a week. Coach Connie was my daughter's first coach. So I can tell you first hand what an amazing coach she is. In all that time, I have only ever seen a safe, positive, and family-oriented environment. The coaches are incredible -- not only do they help the kids grow as athletes, but they also teach respect, discipline, and responsibility. Sometimes children may not always listen or act respectfully, but I know firsthand that the coaches are always focused on keeping the kids safe and guiding them in the right direction. We have trusted Monarchs with our daughter for over a decade, and I can say with complete confidence that this is one of the safest and most caring gyms you will find. If misunderstandings occur, I would hope families take time to reflect and acknowledge if they were wrong, because the coaches and staff here deserve nothing but respect and appreciation for the work they do. Thank you, Monarchs, for being such an important part of our daughter's life and for always supporting these athletes in the best way possible!

YES I DID CALL POLICE FOR THE ASSAULT ON A FIVE YEAR OLD BY A COACH. My daughter is five and had just come back to coach connie after missing 3 weeks of classes. She wasn't sticking the landing so coach Connie wouldn't give her a high five. My daughter was upset and when it was time to send all the girls for water all three girls ran to the water station where I WITNESSED CONNIE GRAB AND YANK MY CHILD BY THE ARM. She turned her entire body around aggressively to threaten her. I ran over and picked my daughter up and told coach connie that there was no reason to ever grab a child like that. My daughter said she was scared and hurting and that coach Connie told her she was going to punish her. I went to the front office where they pulled the footage, confirmed and said my daughter shouldn't have ran around the corner and it is their protocol to grab the child running around the corner. Only my child was grabbed. The coach was frustrated with my child for not sticking the landing and with her crying. This isn't how anybody working with children should react. I contacted the police department which I believe is lapd. They confirmed they saw the coach grab my daughter but that they stated the owner and the coach both said were safety protocols and because she didn't push, hit, or shove that they couldn't prove assault. Disappointing and disgusted to say the least! IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE. DONT GO HERE!

We had no prior experience with the location, but when we saw the space, we knew it would be great for a party. The price and party package were fantastic, and it was one of the few places big and spacious enough to comfortably accommodate all of our vendors. Being able to bring in our own outside vendors was a huge plus for us. From start to finish, the staff was super accommodating, friendly, and immensely helpful. Party planning can be stressful, but they jumped right in with the setup and took care of so many details, making life endlessly easier for us. They kept the kids completely engaged with fun activities throughout the event, and the grand finale, a glow-in-the-dark dance party was an absolute hit! All the kids had the time of their lives. If you're looking for a stress-free, fun, and spacious venue for your next event, look no further. I will never get tired of recommending this place!

Both kids love coming here (and the class is hard, but in a good way, they are learning so much). My son had no physical fitness for years before and Master Bloom encouraged and inspired him to hang in there. He also has issues relating to his autism that just weren't an issue here because he's treated with respect and understanding. The whole class is very positive and encouraging of one another, and respectful of my son. For a mom with a teen with autism, this is a big deal. I've watched Master Bloom teach adults, teens and little kids (sometimes we get there early and the kids class is still in session) -- he's really a gem. He treats everyone with respect, young and old, and is very big on positive reinforcement, which is so important. He gets it. He commands respect in all the right ways, points out the good things in all of his students, catches them working hard and learning and has exceptional method. The class is high energy, positive vibe and great care is being taken to teach everyone at their level and ability. I feel like my kids are getting top notch training. It's a great place to be a part of.
