The mantra to show "No Mercy" is to treat someone with extreme harshness which echoes outside of martial arts, that leaves a stain on the soul. John Krease is truly unhinged, but sensei-Lawrence has fight and heart and brought balance to the dojo in a powerful way - but his struggles as a former student turned karate master definitely lead him on a better path. Mixing a splash of Miyagi-Do (the rival dojo)... "when the fight comes to you, you have to be ready to fight back..."... Johnny Lawrence cares and wants you to excel to the best of your ability in all areas of life which is what a true sensei should be and demonstrate, because karate isn't just a form of self defense it's a way of life. And while I've walked away after the All Valley incident pre-2020 as have others... I will never forget Cobra Kai never dies.

Great little spot.

I wear my cooler fanny pack to keep his beers cold and in return he tells me gruesome stories. Sometimes I wish I had something to be depressed about. Until then - I'll just keep on doing happy karate. I just get so happy throwing punches. Thank you

Top Tier Training…read more There's a reason why this is called World Team Training Center. The coaching and training here is very high level. I've seen my wrestling improve more in the few months I've gone here than any other time or place I've trained. As an adult, it's hard to find places where you can train wrestling consistently and also make significant improvements and here I've experienced both. But there's more to it than just that: 1. Hygiene- they have and implement the highest level of standards to ensure we remain healthy and don't get skin and other infections. I've never seen a gym that implements this so well. 2. Community - they welcome everyone and you can see that they are developing a strong community here. From my first visit, I was impressed by the level of customer service and kindness from the owners and staff. This hasn't changed at all and the level of service is always excellent. 3. Superior training- as someone who trains others for a living, I admire the high level training experience here. 4. Variety - they offered a variety of classes based on your experience and interest (beginner level wrestling, MMA, jiu-jitsu, Greco, etc). There's no place like this in the LA area and it's great to see that it's done so consistently well.

Loved the cleanliness of the gym and the groom checks prior to entering the mat, nobody likes getting scratched up or anything worse, the extra precautions this gym took to make sure that didn't happen was stellar. Hope to come back and train in the future!

Started training here almost 3 years ago and really didn't know what I was in for. It was clear…read morefrom jump that everyone, coaches and students, takes their training very seriously. This is not just a little boxing class! It wasn't long before I started taking my training seriously, too. Since then, the coaches have gone out of their way to teach me, encourage me, support me, hype me up, and remind me that martial arts is about much more than physical fitness. (Body teaaa though!) Pro-tip for women looking into 10P Burbank: don't worry about the male/female ratio. Everyone here is your teammate. The coaches do a phenomenal job ensuring the mats are a safe place for everyone, and they set a high bar in terms of behavior. Never had a problem and happy to say that 3 years later, nobody wants a problem ;) If you're looking for a martial arts gym where you can sharpen your focus, strengthen your commitment to yourself and your wellbeing, double down on your discipline, face those inner demons, and build community with some real killers, this is the place.

Cleanest gym out here, the staff work diligently to protect the health of the clientele between classes which include cleaning and wiping down the mats and all surfaces used!

Highly recommeneded!

This is a review of the California Guard Card educational provider- Valley Guard Training and its…read morecorresponding website to access educational lessons, guardboss.com. The first feature of the course that stood out to me compared to its competition, was that Valley Guard offered a more flexible solution in accomplishing the required in-person training component. The fact that Valley Guard is open 5 Days a Week from 9AM-6PM, Sundays 11AM-6PM is a huge benefit as most of the competition barely offers you a choice and just tells you which day they offer the in-class component. Valley Guard Training I felt also did a fantastic job in how they advertised the course and its requirements as well as their enrollment form. When I was shopping around, other competitors presented their courses and enrollment details rather difficult to understand and it came across to me as very cumbersome. Valley Guard made the process very easy to understand what you needed to sign up for as well as how you can complete the course training. Finally, one of the most important details I would like to acknowledge is the "Learning Management System" that Valley Guard Training uses was outstanding. Considering I have taken other online courses in my past, I can attest that their platform was easy to use and most importantly - engaging when playing the lessons out on the speaker. The person who is transcribing the entire course was fantastic and did not put you to sleep nor make you lose focus. I can tell you this is not always the case with every online course provider. So I give props to Valley Guard for really choosing a winning LMS platform. In closing, the staff at Valley Guard were all very helpful, professional and made the entire process of getting the forms and fingerprints sent out a breeze. I would highly recommend Valley Guard training hands down, you will be happy that you did.

No pressure at all The mats feel like a place you actually want to keep coming back to. VERY Clean, organized gym, good energy. Just learning and rolling. Can't wait for my daughter to grow into it and start rolling on these mats too, for now we just observe daddy rollin' and learn the moves

There's a modest sign…read moreoutside, but the glowing neon "Jiu Jitsu" sign at the door lets you know you're in the right spot. The inside has so much character--clean, well-lit, and a disco ball over the mats. The music is just as eclectic, ranging from heavy metal to Banda. The coaching here is what keeps people coming back. Professor Marco has a real gift for making difficult concepts feel intuitive, and having Matthew and Mike there for MMA and No Gi makes the technical depth of the gym incredible. You can tell they actually care about your progress, whether you're an amateur fighter building a career or a parent bringing your kid to the Saturday "Parent and Me" classes. It's a grounded, ego-free community where people actually stick around to talk after training. When you visit, reit's street parking only, so give yourself a few minutes to find a spot.
