Coach Maurice is an amazing teacher, and everyone there is very friendly and helpful, they have helped me improve my self-defense. All of them have a lot of patience with my training. I can't wait to keep improving with the help of Coach Maurice, thank you for the help! read more

This school has the best teacher a parent could ask for when looking into an instructor for your child. He is kind, patient and understanding. He will bring out the best in your child. My family and I are so happy to be a part of the Montebello Kenpo 5.0 Family! read more

My son has been in JSK 5.0 for about 6 months now. Since I've enrolled him, we already see a difference in his character. More mature, alert, and confident. He's also becoming more goal oriented. Before we came here, I did some research on the schools and teachers in the area. I came to conclusion that Sensei Maurice is the right teacher to go to because of his accomplishments. Not only is he a Sensei in Kenpo 5.0, but also has experience in Muay Thai and Boxing. He has also trained multiple police departments in self-defense. He arms the students with realistic ability to protect themselves in a real-life scenario. In today's volatile world, we as parents need to equip our kids with the right tools to defend themselves. It's not a question if, but when it goes down, you want them totally confident in protecting themselves and whoever they're with. Well, we're on that path now and I sleep well at night knowing that. If you are thinking of a class for your child or are an adult looking for the right dojo, just come for one class. That's all it will take to know what we have here with this dojo is a gem. read more

Great place, great people and staff. Sensei is always available to answer any questions and concerns. He is a great instructor and helps his students excel. I highly recommend this place to anyone of any age interested in martial arts and self defense. The prices are also great, very reasonable, I checked out other places and they were very expensive. Good vibes and great atmosphere everyone is treated like family. read more

I found this studio on Next Door and thought it would be great for my 10yr old son to join since many of the city activities were canceled because of COVID. After taking the trial classes I decided to sign up and later added my 2 other sons (ages 5 & 8 yrs) to the younger class. The studio is conveniently located in my neighborhood. Maurice and Alex are great instructors. They are patient, encouraging and teach in a way that's age appropriate. Sensei Maurice and Alex have taught my sons several sets and forms in a short period of time and it's awesome to see the progress. He offers flexible practice days and times and even via Zoom if necessary. Maurice has a good line of communication with parents by always emailing or texting. His class rates are affordable! Highly recommend! read more

My son and daughter started taking kenpo 5.0 classes two years ago when the school had just opened here in Montebello. They had no martial arts experience but quickly fell in love with it. Sensei Maurice and sensei Alex are so patient, encouraging and supportive. They also push my kids to be their best. It's really not just a sport. My kids have gained confidence and learned diligence and discipline. The culture of respect is so good for kids to learn as well. The instructors have invested so much into my kids and that is truly invaluable! I highly recommend this school! read more

MG Martial Arts - Cardio Classes Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We were looking for a sport for our kids to get into and we thought about giving karate a try. At first our kids were a bit hesitant and in a little more than a year they grew to love it and the JSK 5.0 family! Great instructors, family owned, and everyone (including the other students and parents) are all down to earth. Our kids not only learn how to defend themselves, but how to carry themselves, to be respectful, and help others. Plus, we looked around at different schools, and you can't beat the price here. I very highly recommend this school! read more

I'm currently taking Mr. Gomez's cardio/kickboxing class. I have been taking this class for about 4 months. I really like this class because each day is a different workout and you start seeing progress if you are consistent. I have noticed more toning in my legs, lost a couple pounds, and I feel stronger. It is also a good stress reliever. Some of the exercises we do are push ups, burpees, jumping jacks, crunches, squats, kicks, punches, kettlebell and more. If you're ready to make a positive change in your life I highly recommend Mr. Gomez's class. read more

This place is awesome! Maurice whom I've known for quite a while is the instructor and very patient with his students. He first taught my son when he was very little and now I take his cardio kickboxing which really kicks your butt in a good way! He lets you go at your own pace but really pushes you to try as hard as you can! He also plays the best music!! If you're looking for a great workout but feel like you don't want to be judged or have a pushy instructor on your back this is the place! We have fun when we work out here at MG Kempo read more
