Could not be more pleased with our experience with Cal Coast so far! My son started 6 weeks ago and he can't stop talking about class and wants to practice all the time! My older son did 4 years of Tae Keon Do at another local studio years ago and was never this excited about it. The instructors really get the kids excited and engaged. Best decision to join Cal Coast! read more

Cal Coast has been such a great place for my boys! They have improved in their focus, dedication, respect, and confidence. If you were to ask the kids why they love it they will tell you how they enjoy learning how to use the different weapons and sparring with their classmates. I love how the instructors teach values and expect them to act like leaders off the mat too. The whole place is a community with all kinds of activities outside of classes like parents night out and summer camps. Couldn't ask for more dedicated instructors! read more

Best Martial Arts in town! We love the family environment and the people we've met! The life skills our daughter is learning will stay with her for life!

Thank you to Mr B, Mrs Killian, and Mr Martin for encouraging all these kids. You will not be disappointed if you come and check this studio out. Just ask for a 1 week pass and before the end of the week you'll know why we keep showing up! read more

My experience with the Instructors at Cal Coast ATA have been fantastic. Mr. Bucaria and his team have a great knowledge of martial arts. They are always very patient in and caring when it comes to their students. A few things I like about this academy are: - Leadership Program They get the kids to become confident role models. I've watched shy kids who were unsure about themselves to become coaches and team leaders at testing. They develop charisma, presence, and critical thinking skills which are truly invaluable in life. - Traditional Martial Arts They have a simple practical style. It's a reality based self-defense. They keep things simple and effective so the students feel empowered to defend themselves. - Summer Camps They have a variety of themed summer camps for kids. Hogwarts (Harry Potter), Star Wars, Hyper camps and a few others I can't remember. It's a great way to keep your kids busy in a safe environment. I think Cal Coast ATA is a gem. I love being a part of this school. read more

Wanted my son to learn some discipline, respect and self defense so we were looking for a martial arts place close by. There are so many options in Simi but another mom referred us here so we gave it a try. My son loves it here. The instructors are great with kids and they make it feel more like a family - they even offer Parent's Night Out, which is an added bonus we didn't know we needed! He's learned so much and enjoys going to class, meeting other students, earning his stars, stripes and new belts. We hope he continues on with Cal Coast ATA through black belt! read more

I just earned my third stripe and I am so motivated to continue on. You are never too old to learn something new! read more

We have been with the studio for over two years. It is great to see the kid grow with confidence and character. There are plenty of instructors to pay attention to every kid, teaching and correcting their moves, making sure they understand completely and thrive at their own pace. The kids are all taught to have great manners, to respect and with the spirit to help and cheer each other up! Great energy and atmosphere. read more

The owners and instructors are amazingly talented, kind, helpful, and just all around great humans! We have been part of this TaeKwonDo "family" for several years, and really feel like they care.

We are really happy we came across ATA when researching martial arts on Yelp. The facility is clean, follows social distancing guidelines, and everyone inside is very polite. The instructors have done a really good job helping Jackson learn as he started later in the season. They have made him feel included and taken the time to individually assist him when he's needed the extra help. Overall, as a parent I couldn't be happier as my child comes home and continues to show off the skills he's learned in class with pride. read more

My 12 year old daughter started here just a few weeks ago, and has loved it. The instructors are kind, yet firm and she has already learned a lot in the short time she has been there. Plus, she gets quite a workout in every time! I highly recommend Cal Coast ATA. read more

My kids started with Mr. B, Ms. Killian and staff about 3 1/2 years ago, and I'm happy to say that they are on their final path to achieving their black belts. This studio has become like family... from the amazing instructors to the fellow students and parents. They are incredibly supportive of the kids and teaching them life skills is as much their focus as martial arts. They mix the right amount of fun with serious training. I can't recommend them enough! Try a free class. You won't regret it, and your kids will love it. read more

We absolutely love Cal Coast! My daughter has an amazing time. We love every single instructor. Such a great studio. We fell in love with the studio from the moment we walked in. read more

This is by far the best TaeKwonDo training facility in Simi Valley/Thousand Oaks. We looked at a number of studios for our 5 1/2 year old son. The instructor are fabulous. They work well with the children as well as the adults. They push life skills and are constantly offering positive re-enforcement. I would not hesitate to recommend this studio for children or adults. It is amazing to look at some of the young adults and realize they are lot younger than they appear. That is a direct result of how they communicate and carry themselves. They are polite, considerate and EXCELLENT role models. The studio also host great parties where they encourage all to get involved and are constantly teaching life skills - respect, perseverance, self control..etc. Do not hesitate to drop by and check them out, you will be happy you did! read more

I can't say enough about this studio! Mr. Bucaria, Ms. Killian and staff are amazing with their students. My boys started when they were 3 and 5 years old. We have been with the studio 9 years and it is truly a family. While they do a fantastic job teaching the forms and mastery of taekwondo, the life skills my boys have learned and now live are, in my opinion, the greatest discipline. Whether you are looking for a martial arts studio or an outlet to encourage self-confidence, leadership, integrity and self-control, this is by far the best studio for both children and adults! read more
