He will observe his environment before jumping in and Sifu does not pressure him but makes him feel comfortable to join. He is incredibly patient with him and gives him the confidence he needs. I absolutely love this class and so does my son! He is just now showing us his moves at home and is getting more confident practicing (it's been about 8 lessons). I'm so happy we found this studio and look forward to staying here as well as enrolling my other son in a few years!

We signed up for several trial classes with different methods, but none he seemed too excited about.

Our son has been attending 5 Elements Martial Arts Center for the past two years, and we have seen…read moreso many positive changes in him. His confidence, discipline, endurance, and motivation have all grown tremendously. Sifu Mario is an exceptional instructor. He does an incredible job managing a room full of kids with patience, consistency, and genuine care. He knows how to challenge each child while creating a fun, encouraging environment where they can thrive. We've also made many wonderful friendships during our time here, which has been an added blessing. The pricing is transparent, communication is always clear and helpful, and the entire experience has been outstanding. Our younger son can't wait to start when he turns four, and we're excited for him to have the same experience. We highly recommend 5 Elements Martial Arts Center to any family looking for a place that builds not only martial arts skills but also character.

Seifu Mario is wonderful with the children and achieves a beautiful balance between building genuine relationships with kiddos, while also commanding their respect, focus and discipline. Seifu manages a class full of 4-7 year olds with such ease, keeps the class running smoothly and quickly, and checks in individually with students to keep them progressing in their own KungFu practice. The studio is clean and organized and it's clear that Seifu is truly passionate about what he does as shown through his style, interactions with children and parents.

Grand Master Conniry has been teaching here since 1968. I first started my training with my son back in 2001and unfortunately had to move for work in 2005. I tried other places and never enjoyed training the way I do here. I was fortunate enough to be able to return to studio this year ,18 years later and pleased to see the same principles taught under leadership of Grand Master Conniry. For me personally, returning had more to do with health reasons. I leave class with a great workout and a sense of accomplishment. There are many life long principles taught here and a safe place for the whole family. Pricing is also extremely affordable. You owe it to yourself if you are interested in martial arts to check it out.

He comes twice weekly for 90-Minute lessons for a fantastic workout, and really looks forward to each session. He shows me what he learns, and is super enthusiastic, and it's helped his hand/eye coordination, too. I love the instructors--they are friendly to boys and girls, and it's a positive and safe environment--and the kids really get a nice workout, working on balance and actual technique. I'm excited to see where this goes! I'm hoping I can convince these guys to help out with a fencing team once he starts high school. What a great sport!

As an electrician, I spend hours a day crawling through attics doing the same motions over and over. For years I figured the stiffness and random aches were just "part of getting older." Then I started coming to San Diego Yoga Center, and it has completely changed things. I'm more flexible, but also healthier, more energized, and a bit lighter too. The Bikram class is still a challenge, but now it's something I actually need. I even hunt down Bikram classes when I travel. What keeps me coming back, though, is the people. The teachers are genuinely funny, which makes a tough 90 minutes fly by, but they never lose the structure of the class. You get the laughs and the workout. The community is welcoming and supportive, and it's a big part of why I've stuck with it for years. Can't recommend this place enough!

It's as if a water station is not a normal thing at a work out studio so I don't understand the attitude in the response. They probably wanted me to buy their water which I can understand, however it was the attitude given to me that bothered me. I took a break outside of the class and there were other girls outside taking a break as well, indicating that they had empty water bottles and the heat was too much for them but they didn't have any water. I gave more stars than I wanted because of the instructor, Sam. She was so nice and accommodating and I loved her energy. She checked in on the people taking breaks, I appreciated her teaching the class!
