Yuri comes directly from Krav Maga royalty with training straight from Israel, and the quality of his instruction shows immediately. He taught us proper fighting stance, how to break out of different chokeholds, and how to prevent a fight before it starts.

If you want real Krav Maga taught by someone world-class, go see Yuri. Highly recommend.

They are completely invested in your success, and will continually challenge you, because they care enough to ensure that you are prepared to handle any situation on the street. I really like Yuri, Gal, Jonathan (Asian guy), the two Asian ladies (Jackie & ing? they are tough as nails, sorry can't remember all names). Big shout out to ownership and everyone involved in Krav Maga OC for their guidance, support, and inspiration! I've been into self defense since I can remember. I have my guns, my knives, etc... that said, l needed to learn Krav Maga... ESPECIALLY during these unfortunately CRAZY TIMES as antisemitism is at an all time high. This little Jewish lady was not raised to be a victim! Anyhow, i have been practicing defending with knives at home, spend quite a bit of time shooting at the range, etc... but having the tools and skills stated above would be more beneficial with some Krav Maga training... being attacked on the street is a completely different experience when you're dealing with an attacker in real life than in a controlled environment. I want to be prepared just in case G-D forbid I have to implement these techniques in real life. I truly look forward to learning more and refining my skills. That being said, I highly recommend Krav Maga OC. Yuri, his team, and those who are in my classes continue to impress me with their deep reservoir of knowledge and talent. Todah Rabah!

I don't usually review parks, but did this time because I knew that this beauty was not getting the flowers that it deserved. Stopped by yesterday evening for a 1.5-hour hot girl walk with a friend, and it checked all the usual boxes. Clean, well maintained, plenty of mature trees, and wide paths that make it easy to settle into a good conversation without constantly dodging people. It has that easygoing neighborhood feel that works just as well for a book club meetup, a picnic date, or a jog if you're in that 5k/marathon phase of your quarter life crisis like my friends are. An unexpected highlight for us was catching skytyping that was announcing Olivia Rodrigo's new album, "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love," which is scheduled for release on June 12, 2026. We were craning our necks for a cool 20 minutes trying to figure out what the message meant and I didn't figure it out until looking it up on Reddit when I got home. Not exactly standard park entertainment, but definitely memorable. Also worth noting, right across the street we came across a full Zumba class happening in a small private studio. Apparently it runs every Thursday evening with a $7.00 cover. If you're into that kind of thing, it could be a fun way to switch things up. All in all, Pearson Park knocked it out of the (local) park. It was interesting enough for me to consider adding it to my future routine and will absolutely be coming back.

I recently enrolled my 6 year old son here and he absolutely loves this place. The experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Sensei Ayraton is amazing with ALL her students. Not only is she highly skilled, but also patient, kind and encouraging. My son, who was initially hesitant, now eagerly looks forward to each class, thanks to her nurturing approach. The curriculum strikes a perfect balance between discipline and fun. The lessons are engaging, incorporating games and activities that keep the kids motivated while instilling core karate principles. The place is on the smaller side, BUT it is clean, well-maintained, and tailored for children, with safety mats and age-appropriate equipment. Overall, Longevity martial arts has exceeded my expectations. My son's confidence has grown, and he's learning valuable life skills in a supportive environment. I wholeheartedly recommend this class to other parents looking to introduce their kids to martial arts. read more

Official TEMA students starting the week of 7/13/26…read more My goodness, this is a very delayed update after our initial trial class. My girls were so excited to start, they thought they had class the week before. They couldn't wait to put on their uniforms and be actual students in class. Each time we go to class, I am simply amazed at how great Master Yoo and Master Y are with the kids. Master Yoo promotes respect for self and others, and does it with so much grace. Even though the yelling out/battle crys/ and paddle slapping is very loud and alarming at times, it really gets the kids in focus mode. This is definitely a great way to release some pent up frustration/anger/or just get all that antsy energy out in a positive environment. I have sat in larger classes where black belt student helpers act as assistant demonstrators/instructions for the lower belt levels. They all have a cool and calm demeanor and really do a great job being role models to those who are just learning. I truly hope my girls get to that level one day. So far in class, they have worked on different lower body and upper body moves, along with balancing. Master Yoo always tries to spook the kids mid way to see if they are actually focused. I find it quite entertaining to what how he teaches. He reminds me of an animated cartoon character but in human form. My girls really his funny expressions but have also learned to focus when it is necessary. On 7/28/26, they got to break a wooden board (2 boards for $5 or 1 for $3). My girls did a smashing job and loved every minute of it. The girls have only been doing 2 classes per week since 7/13/26 and I already see a lot of improvements. I have encountered so my friends of their who took TKD before, and did not having raving reviews like I do about TEMA. They truly know what they're doing and care about their students. Truly professionals. If anyone is interested in TKD for their kids, please give them a try. You seriously have nothing to lose and everything to gain. This has been a great experience for both myself and my girls. We are so blessed to have great Masters guiding us in this journey.

He has now been attending for about 10 months, and looking back, I truly feel it was one of the best decisions we've made. The biggest change is his confidence. He now introduces himself proudly, speaks up, and expresses his thoughts wherever he goes. Our entire family has been amazed by how much he has grown. Beyond learning taekwondo techniques, he has developed confidence, discipline, respect, and good posture. I've heard that many taekwondo schools focus heavily on games and entertainment to keep young children engaged. This school is different. They don't simply keep the kids busy with activities--they teach real taekwondo. The instructors emphasize discipline, proper etiquette, respect, focus, and correct technique. For our family, those values are far more important than simply having fun. The Master and the Manager genuinely care about each child and give them personal attention. You can tell they want every student to learn taekwondo the right way, not just earn the next belt. I especially recommend this school for children around 5 or 6 years old. Those early years are such an important time for building confidence and character. I honestly believe that if we had missed this opportunity, my son might still be the shy little boy who was afraid to speak up. We plan to continue here for many years. I've also heard that staying in martial arts through the teenage years can make a huge difference, and I can already see why. If you're looking for a school that values discipline, respect, manners, focus, and authentic taekwondo training--not just games and entertainment--I highly recommend this place. On top of that, their tuition is very fair and reasonable for the quality of instruction and personal attention each child receives. We truly feel that every dollar has been worth the investment.

It's something to have in reserve ready to go. If a situation arises where conflict can't be avoided, his students have no choice but to win. Not only does Sensei Daniel teach how to defend yourself physically but he also shows how to do it in ways that can avoid those kinds of situations altogether. I personally had to use some of the lessons learned in the past after my car was stolen in front of my home. I was able to hear the engine start and noticed my car was missing. I took my other car out to see if I might be able find it. A few minutes later, I was able to spot my car at a red light. Both vehicles were involved in an accident and 3 people who were in the stolen car all ran in different directions. I was able to find one of the suspects walking on the sidewalk. I initially thought about different ways I could hold the person until the police arrived. Fortunately, I chose to keep talking to the person as a way of keeping them at the scene. During the phone call with the police, they asked if I was physically detaining the suspect and informed me that I could be the one committing a crime. In the end, all I had to do was talk until the police arrived. Sensei Daniel teaches his students to try to verbally de-escalate confrontations when possible and it helped me out that night. I recommend Samurai Academy for children and adults of all ages. You'll be able to learn how to defend yourself in different ways.
