“I was led to American Kenpo Concepts more than a quarter century ago when I saw the Kenpo movement of a student. As a result, I went in search of the student’s instructor. I visited several American Kenpo Karate schools in search of the Kenpo movement to no avail. My persistence to find the instructor eventually led to Mr. Tommy Chavies school - American Kenpo Concepts. I observed a class taught by Mr. Chavies and I observed the unique Kenpo movement I was intrigued by.

Since that time, I have been fortunate to be a student under the tutelage of Mr. Chavies. The study of American Kenpo Karate has led me to clarity in all facets of daily life as well as in the understanding of the Kenpo Alphabet of Motion applied to a combative situation. At this point in my study, I have discovered that Kenpo movement imagined within a combative situation could be effortlessly applied using continuous motion, comparative analysis and creativity.

The study of American Kenpo Karate as a student of Mr. Chavies has led me to appreciate the profound perennial study of the art which always stretches my thinking. I want to express my sincere thanks for Mr. Chavies' guidance. To be honest, simple words don’t quite capture the depth of my appreciation for everything he’s taught me.

If you want to be ready for any environment you may encounter within you, on you or around you, join us at the Studio and find application for the physical alphabet of motion you know, learn to be creative with motion, learn to have fun with motion, learn from a Master of the Art and discover the benefit of being flexible in thought and action.“

“I have nothing but great things to say about Kenpo Pasadena. My daughter has been enrolled in karate a little over a year now. She’s built so much confidence, and her behavior has improved and she’s shown so much growth and consistency. Not only is she learning self discipline and confidence, she’s now apart of a community that encourages her, and shows her respect, self discipline and encouragement. Sensei Anto and sensei Marine are amazing and really make you feel like everyone is family. My daughter enjoys Sensei Dominic, sensei Aram, and sensei Vaughn. All the best! Kenpo has made us feel part of a strong community and has made us feel supported in many ways. Ms.Natalie also is so attentive, kind and really goes above and beyond. We plan to stay with Kenpo Pasadena for a long time.“

“I highly recommend this rental space. |enny and her team are exceptionally accommodating, transparent in their agreements, and respectful. They are dedicated to working with clients, and particularly value Jenny's clear communication and flexibility in scheduling. The space itself is remarkably spacious, and the provided images da not fully capture its impressive scale. Upon viewing it in person, I was immediately convinced of its suitability.

“My boys have been here for about a year now. We love it. The environment the discipline the respect and learning the Master providesTruly my family here!“

“I met Master Anzu and his students at the WKF Summit 2025 and was blown away. The students were not trained in the same base of martial arts as me, yet picked up the necessary actions impressively quickly, indicative of much skill and practice. Master Anzu was also very knowledgeable of his craft and teaching. I would love to learn and train with them more, and you should too!“

“Can’t say enough good things about this school..
If you want your kid to be able to defend themselves from bullying or any situation, this is a perfect choice. Great coaches and great prices. It’s worth it.“

“I have been attending this dojo for the past 4 years. The dojo is more recreational and focuses on traditional Kodokan judo. The adult community has a good feel and is welcoming to beginner adults. Would highly recommend to adults who are interested in starting judo and joining a good community.“

“Great taekwondo school with excellent instructors and a welcoming atmosphere. The coaches are professional, supportive, and truly care about helping students improve. Highly recommend Victory Taekwondo!“

“I went here when u was a young person, Mr Lee took me under his wing and tought me so much, he is a true warrior and artist at martial arts.
Thank you Mr Lee“

“I’m a black belt here at TMAX, and my experience here for the past 4+ years has been nothing but great! The instructors are always nice and they do an astounding job at handling the super loud toddlers that keep screaming “6-7.” In most cases, this is just a fun thing for your kid to do while you go out and do fun things without the burden of a child holding you back; but kids that are serious about Taekwondo WILL get really good thanks to the help of the masters. Many of my peers here have the most amazing kicks, and morale is always high. Whether you want to get some great levels of discipline, great skills in martial arts, or just have something fun to do, then TMAX is the right place for you!“

“Master Daniel and his wife doing some great work for the community so thankful we came in that day. Now my son is enrolled and as happy as can be. Thank you for the confidence he is learning!“

“My son has benefited from the excellent teaching here. It’s changed his life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.“

“Great spot for karate. Both my kids go here and learn at a good pace. Instructors are patient and determined to give students great instruction while maintaining fun for the kids.“

“Come and check out the newest dojo in Alhambra!! Friendly, respectful and fun - come check it out for an introductory class today.“

“The studio is NOT glamorous but you can see and feel the dedication of the students from there. Younger students are encouraged to try their best and excell in all faucets of their life. Adults in the classes attend to learn and improve skills, all egos are checked at the door. The parking lot does leave alot to be desired. Lines can't be seen very easily and some other patrons of the little shopping strip make up their own parking rules...“

“I started at this gym about three months ago, and I’ve been really impressed with how clean and well-maintained it is. I signed up for personal training and was matched with Coach Rico. After just over a month of training with him, I already feel a huge difference.

I’ve gotten much stronger, my endurance has improved significantly, and I just feel healthier overall. Coach Rico pushes me to my limits every session while making sure I maintain proper form. He clearly knows what he’s doing and keeps every workout fresh by mixing in different exercises, so we’re constantly targeting different muscle groups and never doing the same routine over and over.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, motivating trainer who genuinely wants to help you reach your goals, I highly recommend Coach Rico!“

“This is very good place, their way of teaching is great. I always look foward to going to practice, we are like one big happy and strong family! The training is great, i have learned so much and its a great experience.“
