    Extremely kid friendly dojo and the most genuinely engaged and awesome senseis! My two kids absolutely love this dojo and it has been amazing to see them grow - developing not only their skill sets but also their confidence. Both started at the age of three, going on fifth and second year. I recommend having a kid's birthday party here as well.

    This dojo is everything you're looking for and more. From the entertaining senseis to the meaningful instruction, we couldn't be happier. My son started as a timid 6 year old and he has evolved into a confident, strong ninja. They offer group and private lessons which are included in the tuition where they focus on martial arts skills, weapons and forms. But the cherry on top and what sets this dojo apart from others is the senseis. I can't say enough about the phenomenal senseis, Evan, Archie, Noah, Vincent, Tony, just to name a few. Their level of enthusiasm and commitment to each and every kid is out of this world. They make every class exciting while also fostering discipline, respect and a love of martial arts. Not only do the kids come to this dojo to learn karate, they also come for the fun, friendships and positive experience. If you're looking for a dojo where your child will grow in a safe and engaging environment, look no further. Give this place a try, you will not regret it! This is coming from a very satisfied parent of a child who's been attending this dojo for almost 3 years now.

    My little one is full of excitement every time he attended his lesson. The moment he puts on his gloves, he transforms into a mini champion--focused, energetic, and full of joy. He especially loves practicing combos with his classmates--it's not just great physical exercise, but also a big boost to his confidence. Throwing punches with such enthusiasm, it's clear how much he truly enjoys and grows from every session!

    We loved popping by our Foothill Dojo today! So enjoyed seeing Sensei Evan - our first instructor to welcome the girls into karate more than three years ago. The instructors are one of the best parts about this studio. They feel like family and they're compassionate and protective when it comes to working with children; they truly care about each one. The Senseis are knowledgeable, funny, and yet firm. The dojo was buzzing with excitement, today. There were children, families and instructors all busily learning/working. Summer camp season is in full swing. And the new flooring looked great.

    Highly recommend the Foothill Ranch studio! Sensei Evan, Sensei Archie, and Sensei Vincent have helped to shape my 4 and 6 year old children into mindful and respectful humans. They are not only teaching karate skills, they are also teaching life skills, with an emphasis on growth mindset. When we go to each lesson, we are immediately welcomed. The kids feel important and have so much fun while learning. The instructors understand kids so well and provide an energetic and engaging learning environment. Not every program your kid attends feels like extended family. It's a space that we look forward to going to each week, and trust that our kids are learning karate and leveling up in life!

    Can my three-year-old son learn? Where can I check the schedule for group lessons?

    Definitely can and actually it is good to get the kids excited at young age. That's when we started. There are many group classes offered per age group. I think the best way to get all the info is to just drop by when the Studio is open. You might… Read more
