“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Summer Camp Game-Changer! Systems Training Center Summer Camp has been an absolute dream for my daughter — and a total lifesaver for me as a parent! From the moment we signed up, I had a good feeling, but this experience has blown every expectation out of the water. First of all, no screens — can we just take a moment to celebrate that? In a world full of tablets and phones, this camp brings kids back to what childhood should feel like: movement, connection, and FUN. My daughter comes home every day exhausted, happy, and beaming, full of stories about the activities, the friends she’s made, and how much she can’t wait to go back. She’s learning discipline, gaining confidence, and getting stronger — mentally and physically. As a parent, I truly couldn’t ask for more. I only wish I had found this place sooner. This camp is seriously a hidden gem, and I hope more families discover it. Sending my daughter here was hands down the best decision of the summer!“

“Amazing academy, great environment and knowledgeable instructors for both the adults and children's program.“

“Truly the best TKD gym I've ever been to. Master Chung is amazing with teaching not only martial arts, but also discipline, respect of parents, and taking personal responsibility. My son's behavior and maturity has improved exponentially. I even started taking Taekwondo here, myself. I hadn't studied martial arts in about 9 years. But I've regained so much of my physical, mental, and spiritual strength working with Master Chung. My love for martial arts has been reignited! Gym is clean, easy parking, simple & organized process for sign up, payment, and belt tests.“

“During the pandemic, I was looking for a fun activity that would be good for my health. I was drawn to Pamana Kali because they had online classes and they take a well-rounded approach that includes practical application, art, and culture.

Guro Alvin, the founder, is a patient teacher that emphasizes practical application. He focuses on fine tuning simple techniques that work in live scenarios. He also structures his lesson plan in a way that facilitates neuroplasticity by constantly introducing new motor patterns during the exercises. This makes class a challenge after a long work day, but it's good for the ol' noggin!

Kuya Eli is the instructor at the Long Beach location housed within Kubo LB on Atlantic Ave. The classes are small, which leads to lots of helpful individual attention. We mix it up and practice kali, silat, illustrisimo, and more. Kuya Eli is on the younger side and teaches with enthusiasm and humor, making the learning environment playful as well as challenging.

If you're lookin for a fun and safe environment to learn the art of stick fighting, check out Pamana Kali!“

“Karate at Kaizen Dojo is lifestyle driven; it isn't just about learning karate moves. Sensei Ford prioritizes mindfulness, building students up from within, mind and body health, self-confidence, happiness, awareness, and resilience.

Both of my children have taken karate lessons at different places. Kaizen stands out, to me, as more traditional. The art of karate is present here; the reveredness of the kata. It reminds me of Daniel San and Mr. Miyagi practicing choreographed karate movements: on the stump on the beach, or in Okinawa, with the scored music behind it. I love watching the kids practice their katas.

Sensei Ford is kind and brings play to each class to keep the kids engaged. They work hard, and, yet, it doesn't occur as such. It's impressive how much my daughter knows, and how much she loves to practice and demonstrate her moves at home.

I'm truly grateful to have Kaizen Dojo and Sensei Ford in our lives. Both have made a lasting and positive impact on myself and my family.“

“Thank you Master Carranza Tae Kwon Do for the support you give to our champions, my children are happy to belong to your school, because you always motivate them to do their best, and they perceive your good vibes. My yellow belt son is motivated to follow in his black belt brother's footsteps. And I know that with your help he will achieve it. Thank you Master and may GOD bless you.“

“Mr. Colwell is a fun, motivating and disciplined instructor. He teaches broader life, integrity and character lessons along with the karate. My son loves the classes, game nights, nerf wars and all the other stuff they put on. The close community of kids, parents and teachers really shines“

“Very good with teaching children. Not too strict that the kids would lose interest in learning.“

“The instructors are excellent and my 7 year old girl really feels motivated to learn.“

“Master Yi is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He has dedicated his life to his craft and sharing it with others, and his passion and qualifications are truly evident. No matter your incoming experience level, I am confident you will find him to be very present, fun, engaging, energetic, encouraging, challenging, professional, and memorably kind. The studio is always clean and in excellent condition. Plenty of parking. Safe area. Could not recommend more!!“

“Great gym so far first week down and can't wait to learn more. Steve and Nick are great teachers.“
