Sunny is a very good teacher, he knows a lot about the modern aspect of the game. And he teaches it super well. I'm only a few sessions in, but have learned a lot already. I will try to come back and update this after another seven or eight sessions to mark my progress, and my impression of Sunny. Very fun thus far! read more

Took two lessons. They were good. He'll tailor it your goals. If you have serious goals probably a good fit.

I was gifted a lesson with Sunny and loved it so much I went back on my own. Sunny is a great teacher and I was pleasantly surprised how quickly his instruction improved my rusty game. The one-on-one format makes a big difference. He keeps the lessons fun and varied while focusing on the fundamentals. And it's a great workout. read more

Sunny is amazing!! Very professional and quick to respond. Honest feedback. Cant wait for my next lesson!!!

I had no plans of taking tennis lessons until I happened to meet Sunny off the court. His passion for tennis clearly stood out as his whole being lit up when talking about his long and successful career as a tennis pro. Sunny has endless energy and a contagiously upbeat personality. Needing to make some positive changes in my own life, I decided to try out tennis as an adult beginner. Taking lessons from Sunny has been a joy. I was not the greatest sports player growing up and felt constantly embarrassed whenever I had to participate in group/competitive sports at school. I was fairly nervous that my experiences from childhood would repeat themselves on the tennis court but Sunny was so relaxed and happy himself, I could not help to feel the same way. Being comfortable on the court, I was able to start grasping several of the concepts and moves Sunny introduced me to right away. Just as previous reviewers mentioned, his communication is exceptional and Sunny has a talent for concocting effective visuals to help grasp how one needs to change their form along with saying just the right amount of information at the right time. Sunny doesn't overwhelm the newbie with everything at once but instead allows you to play and grow while he slowly adds layers of technique to match your personal development. I never felt overwhelmed, insecure, nervous or embarrassed with Sunny which is saying a lot considering my tendency to want to hide behind the bleachers when it comes to competitive sports. It has been invigorating to pick up a knew activity and hobby that has so many benefits. I highly recommend Sunny if you are a beginner like myself or playing professionally. Sunny has all the best elements of a phenomenal coach. He has personal experience and is an active player today, he is an effective communicator, professional and best of all, he makes each lesson fun and productive. Now I can't wait to introduce tennis to my daughters as well. If you can get on Sunny's schedule, count yourself lucky! You won't regret such a great investment in your health and game. I feel like a kid again! #Justdoit read more

I have done a handful a lessons with Sunny and found him very knowledgeable and he really helped me improve my stroke quickly. He was also very accommodating with my chaotic schedule. Highly recommend. read more

I have had a yearning for a while to get back on the courts and re-learn tennis. I played in high school and college, and then drifted away from the sport as my career and life took priority. Now, in my late fifties, I wondered whether I could master the sport again. I found Sunny online and sent him a note. We've met and played a couple times and I must say he has helped me regain my confidence and reconnect with the fun of playing. Sunny is patient, providing clear, helpful instruction. And, he's a joy to play with. You can tell he has passion for the sport and seeing others connect and do well. I am glad I connected with Sunny and definitely recommend him! read more

I had my first lesson with Sunny today! He's funny and loves to tell jokes, which definitely helped make me less nervous. He also tailored the lesson that was best suited for me. I'm excited to keep the lessons going and see the progress I'll make! read more

After not picking a racket for ten years, I started lessons with Abs, and I couldn't be happier ! Abs has a special communicative gift in which he is able to convey instruction with just a few words. While other teachers talk incessantly, Abs explains, and then you do it. He can refine technique in minutes and has taken my game from 0-60 mph (actually more like 40 mph with my talent..lol ) in eight lessons. He plays hard with his students after teaching the technique,so it helps dial it in. A great cardio workout ensues which leads me to believe it does pay to have a young rather than a typical old coach. Anyways, Never have I had a teacher in any domain that has encouraged such results in so short amount of time. I highly recommend this excellent teacher and fun human being. read more

Sunny is a great teacher - funny, competent, patient, skilled, and makes the lessons fun! My family and I decided to pick up a new hobby together so we turned to Sunny to help us learn the basics of tennis! We wanted to learn proper technique and become proficient in an area we have never tackled. At the start of the lesson I couldn't even make contact with the ball, but by the end I was making strides in my progress! I am very excited to continue lessons with Sunny. read more

Had a great intro lesson. Sunny was super nice and encouraging and made it easy to start learning the basics. It was fun and i'll definitely be returning for more lessons read more

I just started lessons with Sunny as a beginner tennis player and I'm already learning a lot! He is encouraging and positive and I'm learning that I will definitely be getting a workout in these lessons lol! The one-on-one instruction is important - I am hoping to improve and be able to play with my husband who learned tennis as a kid. read more

Sunny is a experienced coach with very positive attitude. A couple of classes in and I already feel more comfortable and improved as a beginner level player. Definitely looking forward to continuing the journey and recommend to those who haven't tried. read more

Awesome coach! Very kind and upbeat, great workout! Really appreciate the lesson :) made the experience very fun and relaxed!

I had Sunny as my coach 15 years ago. He was very patient, invested and easy to work with. Definitely a great coach!

I had a demo lesson with Sunny, he is a great coach! As a beginner, already made a lot of progress. He is easy to communicate, and listens to your needs, which I could made the most out of the lesson. It's also a good work out and relax from work. read more

I decided to pick up tennis as a way to meet people and also to better my health. I'm in my 20s and it can be difficult making new friends when you are finished with school. I am a beginner and have no prior tennis experience but Sunny has been great! I'm two lessons in and loving it! I feel like I've learned so much already and I'm excited to see how far I can go. If you're looking to pick up a new hobby I recommend taking a lesson here. read more

Best Coach ever! Sunny coaches in a way that allows you to feel like you have known tennis for a long time and that's coming from a true beginner! Highly recomment - he will cater to your tennis level and give you goals to get to the level you'd like to achieve read more

Good coach! The demo lesson was very informative and he gave lots of positive and helpful verbal feedback. He brings a great energy to the lesson. I was able to see improvements by the end of the lesson which helped me to be more confident. read more

My 9 year old son asked for tennis lessons and wanted me to join him. Having played compensative tennis through high school and my son having absolutely no experience, I was hesitant that I would be able to find a coach that could accommodate us both at the same time. I must say I was and continue to be amazed with Sunny. He is able to keep both of us fully engaged, making every lesson a positive growing experience. Sports don't come naturally to my son, and having tried at least a dozen different sports and coaches with him losing interest after a week or two I was not hopeful. Sunny has an in depth understanding of the sport, good communication skills, and is exceptionally athletic. His intellectual and spiritual approach has made tennis fun and some thing my son actually looks forward to! I'm amazed at how patiently he's been building my sons skills, always using positive reinforcement. For me the level of play and technical knowledge he offers has been challenging and motivating. On top of it all Sunny is a gentleman. I would highly recommend him as a coach for any level of tennis. read more

Lessons with Sunny are a lot of fun and excellent exercise. Sunny is a very patient and fun teacher who takes you through the technique while also allowing you to experience real tennis playing while you learn. Excellent workout for the body and the brain. I fully recommend him! read more

Sunny is fun, easy going and motivating coach. I came to Sunny wanting to learn to be good at rallies and get more activity into my lifestyle. I definitely see improvement in my technique. I take classes twice a week and always look forward to our sessions. A typical class includes some footwork, forehand, backhand, rally, volleys or serve practice. I brag to my husband how much my cardio stamina has improved. Reach out to Sunny if you are looking forward to get addicted to tennis! read more

Our two teenage sons and I have been taking lessons from Sunny for the past 2-3 months. It was the perfect solution for social distancing, an outdoor activity, great cardio and a lot of fun! Our sons picked up Sunny's tips quickly and improved in the course of just a few lessons. In fact, our younger son is enjoying the sport so much and has made sufficient progress that he is thinking about joining the high-school tennis team. Sunny is very patient, even-tempered, positive - a great coach providing a great tennis journey! I highly recommend him! In fact, we're planning on having our daughter take lessons with him as well. read more

I had 1 lesson with Sunny, this lesson itself was good and I do think I learned some great skills even in one lesson, but I am a complete beginner so lots to learn. I will not be taking more lessons with Sunny due to 1. He was 20 minutes late to this lesson, I read other reviews stating he does this often and I cannot always go over the time I had planned on being at the court if he is late on a consistent basis. 2. He would not provide ongoing pricing or package pricing information (if he offers that) until I came for the second lesson. read more

I grew up watching tennis but never touched a tennis racket in my life until my first lesson with Abs. I have found Abs to be a professional, patient and just all round fun tennis instructor. Each of my lessons with Abs are tailored to the me, as an individual, and my respective level. Not to mention, Abs is so easy going and consistently provides encouragement and support throughout each lesson -- making the lesson fun! Not only have I picked up a new hobby in tennis, but my overall health benefits are apparent after a few lessons -- increased cardiovascular endurance and weight loss:) Overall, Abs deserves every one of the 5 possible stars! I highly recommend him for any level of tennis! read more

Sunny is professional and personable. He tailors the lessons to the person, their capabilities and goals. He's diligent and pushes you the way you'd expect a coach to push you in order to achieve specific goals. He covers skills like forehand, backhand, smashes, volleys and topspin. He's also really good about follow up lessons to ensure that the training doesn't get lost with time. read more

Sunny is an excellent teacher, being professional and patient. I have enjoyed his instruction and improved skill of tennis quickly as a beginner, being more energetic by this class. Would recommend to anyone who are interested in tennis and not start yet. read more

Been receiving tennis lessons from Abs. I was a total beginner and Abs was extremely patient and easy to understand. I'm about ten lessons in and I've definitely seen a vast improvement. Good communication as to scheduling of the lessons and have found him to be accommodating of my schedule. Abs is upbeat and good use of analogies to help visualize. read more

I went to ABS with my friend we both took lessons just to get back into shape, and it was exactly what I was looking for. ABS was great in helping me develop a much wider outlook on the game, at the same time gave me a great workout. The result left me not only a better player, but feeling great too. I would recommend these lessons to anyone who is willing to put in their time with a great coach, you will not be disappointed with the end result. 5 stars! Nik read more

I have taken lessons with Abs and my experience was way below par to say the least for the reasons below: - He was ALWAYS late to the lessons and doesn't make up for his tardiness. He will give you all kinds of excuses why he is late :) So, the end of the day, your one-hr lesson becomes more like 30 minutes after late start, picking up balls, rest, and occasional engagement with people from the other sides of the courts - You have to pay in advance for the 6- or 8-lessons package. If you keep track of how many times you have taken lessons, it's your loss, although he says he keeps all lessons on his iPhone - Expensive read more

I've taken lessons from many pros over a thirty year love affair with tennis, by far the best is Coach Abs. He is hard-working, attentive to my game, respectful of my skills but always with player development in mind. I've learned a lot in the three years I have been his student, and advanced my skills. Highly recommend taking on a series of lessons, you will definitely improve! read more

Tried tennis lessons recently with Tennis Lessons LA, highly recommended for both adults and kids. I was very happy with the instruction for both myself and my five year old son. Coach Abs has a knack for explaining and demonstrating technique in a way that makes sense. I had played as a young person, and I was shocked at how my forehand improved immediately with a simple visual technique he gave me. If only he had been around back then, I believe I would have not given up tennis due to frustration. He is also great with my son, who is an athletic, sensitive kid that is super hard on himself. I was very impressed with his patience and ability to keep my son engaged and motivated. He intuitively knew when to gently push and when to ease off, not easy to do! read more

Abs is Absolutely terrific :). He's dedicated to his students, he teaches not only technique but also strategy, and works hard to ensure that you are enjoying yourself while you are learning. I realized I accidentally hit 4 stars - but he's definitely a 5 star kind of coach! read more

I wanted to introduce a sport into my life. I played soccer a lot as a kid but now as a working young adult I wanted something which'd just take 1 other person to play with and not 11 ! I thought tennis'd be interesting because my city Pasadena has a lot of tennis courts and besides I thought I'd love to learn a racket sport for a change . I went across to the nearby public courts to hit with a friend. it was a disaster. I couldn't the hit the broad side of a barn ! I was very irritated with myself because I'm pretty competitive.. ( not anal competitive though ! ) This made me google up tennis lessons and I found Abs. His website looked interesting. I thought of giving it a ride. First lesson I learnt I was hitting home runs because I didn't have the right grip ! We went into technique of swings and hand-eye coordination drills in the first half hour. It was a revelation ! Who knew there's a method to this madness?! Ball over net- Should've been pretty simple right ? Lol. The next half hour we hit a lot of balls and I got a lot of ' muscle memory' for tennis strokes. Began to feel more relaxed and confident . Abs kept cracking me up with funny banter which actually kept me subliminally distracted and from over-thinking the hit ! The progress was pretty quick since within two lessons we were already rallying. Going back and forth across the net a bazillion times in tennis with an experienced guy is fun--Who knew ! I ended up signing regular private lessons with him biweekly ! I have been doing that since a couple of months now at this point in time..Tennis has become my go-to thing for fun after work. Since work can get crazy it also provides me with a stress-buster outlet to bash a lot of balls hard with the right technique without seeing a shrink..;-) I love that Abs has Cardio Tennis regimens as well so sometimes when I feel like a sloth I ask him to run me around placing cones on the court basically painting the court with crayola' esque multi-colors and doing ' tennis drills ' with those..Who wants to use a gym ?! He has a cool ball-machine ( the automaton kind which runs on battery and just keeps you feeding balls ad infinitum ) so for fun I'll ask him to crank it up sometimes and we'll focus on a single area of my technique like backhands and hit 5 or 6 baskets for the hour just on that.. Perfectionist anyone? Aaaah the stomach's rumbling. I'm going to eat some delish pho now and wrap this up by saying I'm loving every second of it and sure you will too ! Take care and Ciao ! read more

He was less attentive when he was just one on one with my son. When I dropped him off, I often stayed behind to see how the instruction was going, and Abs was just going through the motions. There was no direction given to my son when I wasn't around. Then i stayed behind to watch, and all Abs wanted to do was talk to me about current events (during the one hour instruction I paid for!). If you can find an alternative, I would advise it. He's nice, but just not that great of a coach. read more

My son is in a local USTA jr tennis league. We wanted some additional one on one training on top of a separate small group lesson with another coach. Abs teaches with the mindset of how current pros on tour plays, and applies that insight into the lessons. He was able to gauge and cater the lessons to my son's current level. My son has learned a lot through the past few months, and had requested help in specific areas. With Abs help, he was able to apply what was learned, in competition, with good success. He also liked how Abs made the lessons fun and not stressful. Abs use of analogies and recaps are also great to be sure there was a mutual understanding of what was taught and learned. If you are looking for a one on one training for a 14&U or younger, Abs works well with this age group. He is a good coach through and through. read more

Instructor here at tennis lessons la is super experienced and has been insightful about giving just the right amount of suggestions and tips during our lessons. I never feel so overwhelmed with "instructions" that I forget to have fun. From the beginning, the lessons were tailored to my goals. Each session starts with "here's what we'll be working on today" and ends with asking me to recap "what I learned". I found this to be super helpful in terms of remember in the key points during the lesson. So far, I feel my skills have progressed much more than they have with other lessons I've taken. I plan to continue to take refresher lessons as I continue to become a better player. I highly recommend tennislessonsla to anyone who wants to improve their fundamentals or refine advanced skills. read more

I've been taking lessons with Abs for about a year and am really enjoying it. I'm not the most athletic person so I had doubts that tennis would be for me. However, Abs' approach makes it fun to play and he seems to know just how much to push me so that I'm challenged, but I don't give up. I have seen other instructors who yell at students which I think is horrible. Abs never does that. In fact, he is easy to talk to with a great sense of humor and very encouraging. He always ends a lesson on a good stroke so you feel more confident. He does tend to run a few minutes late sometimes which is why I didn't give him 5 stars. I'm revising my review as of 11/25/14 to let everyone know Abs has made every effort to always be on time. There is the occasionally issue with traffic which we all have, but for the most part he is now a 5 in my book. read more
