My cousin finally convinced me to check out Aloisio Silva BJJ, and I am SO happy that he did. We are THRILLED that our daughter is training there. In the two short months that she has been there, we have seen a tremendous growth (both physically and mentally) despite the fact that she only trains twice per week. While the youth class is mixed ability/ mixed belt; ALL of the trainers are really great at motivating each child and differentiating instruction based on individual needs. The families are so welcoming and the kids are very helpful. It is beautiful to see the interaction amongst children, and how they motivate and encourage each other on the mat. My daughter is eager to start competing, all thanks to Jon, his wife, and all of the other trainers that have supported her on this new journey.

The coaches and students are incredibly supportive, and I've always felt welcomed here. Coming back to jiu jitsu after so many years was intimidating, especially being older, but I never felt like I didn't belong or couldn't keep up. Training at Canvas has helped me become more confident, pushed me outside of my comfort zone, and even gave me the courage to compete again. If you've been thinking about trying jiu jitsu, or even coming back to it after a long break like I did, I highly recommend Canvas.

I've been practicing TKD for over 25 years, and I can easily say Master Richard has the best rapport with kids that I've seen. He's engaging, empathetic, fun, and has a great system for making TKD accessible for kids. I've been to a few TKD schools in the LA area, and I appreciate that Master Richard incorporates a well-rounded approach -- it's not just kicking drills and forms, but he introduces students to anti-bullying situations, self-defense, and the 5 Tenants of TKD (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, indomitable spirit, and self-control). Surprisingly, not many TKD schools incorporate the traditional tenants and self-defense these days...it's all about TKD as a sport, but I'm glad to see that ARMA and Master Richard still teach these foundational things.

I mess up my own kids' names all the time. My son has now progressed to competition in forms and sparring, and his self-confidence is much improved. I highly recommend joining the studio if/when space opens off the waiting list (3-6 months, last I knew).

Systems training center camp review:…read more Our kids had an amazing experience at Systems Training Center Summer Camp! Every week brought a new theme that kept them excited to come back--from movie making and engineering challenges to building a utopian city and exploring cultures from around the world through food, dances, and traditions. The camp does a great job balancing indoor activities with fun walks outside, giving the kids plenty of opportunities to stay active while learning. More than anything, it's a safe, encouraging environment where kids can be loud, get messy, make mistakes, learn from them, and build confidence and independence along the way. The staff truly cares about the kids, and you can see it in everything they do. If you're looking for a summer camp that's fun, creative, educational, and helps your child grow, I highly recommend Systems Training Center. It's a place every parent should consider!

Important note: This review pertains specifically to the Systems Training Center Summer Camp, not…read morethe dojo's regular martial arts instruction. My son attended the summer camp/day program only and was not enrolled as a regular martial arts student. I enrolled my son hoping for a fun, safe, and well-supervised summer experience. Unfortunately, that was not our experience, and I would not enroll him again. The camp often felt disorganized and seemed to operate without much advance planning. Activities appeared to change from day to day, and there was little evidence of a structured program. The first warning sign came during my son's first week. After only a few days, he came home, burst into tears, sobbed in my arms for more than ten minutes, and begged me not to make him return. He described the environment as "overwhelming" and "overstimulating" because of the constant screaming, yelling, and disruptive behavior from some campers. Those concerns continued throughout the summer. To be clear, I understand children sometimes struggle with emotional regulation and behavior. My concern is not that children are expected to be perfect. My concern is that I expect adults supervising a children's camp to appropriately manage disruptive or aggressive behavior, protect all campers, and provide an environment where children feel safe. Based on both what I observed and what my son consistently reported, I did not feel that happened. For example, my son reported that one camper became upset during a game, ran at him while screaming, and grabbed at his clothing. He also reported this was not an isolated incident but part of a pattern of repeated screaming, tantrums, and disruptive behavior from this camper and another camper that made him increasingly uncomfortable attending camp. My biggest concerns, however, involved supervision and safety outside the dojo. My son reported that counselors took campers on neighborhood "ninja walks" and encouraged them to practice parkour on nearby structures, including climbing a structural wall at a neighboring apartment complex using decorative rocks as footholds. He also reported a counselor challenged the children about who was "brave enough" to jump from what he estimated was a very high wall into an enclosed area below. My son declined to participate because he felt uncomfortable and became so distressed that he cried. What surprised me most was that I was never informed campers would routinely leave the dojo for these neighborhood activities. Nothing in the written materials or waiver explained that campers would be practicing parkour throughout the surrounding neighborhood. The paperwork states parents would receive advance notice of field trips. In my opinion, taking campers outside the dojo and throughout the neighborhood constitutes an off-site activity that parents should be informed about beforehand. When I later spoke with the camp director, she confirmed that these neighborhood "ninja walks" are a regular part of camp and stated they have permission from neighboring property owners to use parking lots, areas between buildings, and other structures. That was the first time I had heard that explanation. She also said part of the camp's philosophy is "stretching the kids to their limits." While I support helping children build confidence and resilience, I believe those challenges should occur in a carefully supervised environment with clear communication to parents. I also had concerns about security. During the entire camp session, I was never asked to show identification when picking up my son. On multiple occasions, counselors were on their phones when I entered the dojo and did not even look up to acknowledge who had come through the door. The surrounding neighborhood also concerned me. During drop-off and pick-up, I observed several individuals who appeared homeless and/or intoxicated. One individual in particular was dirty, disheveled, and wearing torn, soiled clothing. I watched him stand outside the dojo for several minutes with his face pressed against the glass doors and his hands cupped around his eyes so he could look inside and watch the children. Learning that campers were routinely taken on walks through this same neighborhood only increased my concern. When I discussed these issues with the director, I did not feel my concerns about supervision, behavior management, communication with parents, or safety were meaningfully addressed. Every family has different expectations, and some children may have a wonderful experience here. This review simply reflects ours. I was looking for a camp with consistent supervision, proactive communication, thoughtful behavior management, and strong safety practices. Based on what I personally observed and what my son consistently reported, I do not feel this summer camp met those expectations, and I would not enroll him again.
