After one session with Thor, I totally understand the loyalty. This place is awesome. Enough said. Thor motivates and genuinely wants you to push yourself. I mean seriously, I would have that man yelling POOWWWWEEERRRR as my alarm clock every morning to wake up every morning ready for greatness, but I know if I did I would end up smashing a hole through my condos wall. Doubtful that HOA or my home owner insurance would cover such an event, I have chosen to wake up to Tutti Frutti by little Richard (highly recommend). I digress, simply put this place is awesome, challenging in the best way and an incredible value. Keep it up 101!

I've been taking classes at CKO Simi Valley for about eight years on and off. There is truly…read moresomething for everyone here--all ages and all fitness levels. Here are the highlights: - High intensity classes that will challenge you and make you sweat. - Supportive community amongst students and trainers. This is a no judgement zone and the people are there to help you succeed in your fitness goals. - Emphasis on how kickboxing skills can be transferable to self defense skills. - Great results! After participating in the transformation challenge my brother went down 3 BMI! - Personalized training even in a large group setting. I appreciate that the trainers are always checking my technique and pushing me to challenge myself. As a result, I always have a new goal in the gym and a new skill to work on. I'm never bored in class! Shout out to Nikki, Gabby, and their staff for making CKO such a supportive environment. These folks understand that fitness is about building confidence in yourself and your health more than anything else. This is not just a weight loss program, but a community that will support you in changing habits and conquering self doubt. Five stars well deserved!

They also both have a passion, not only for the various disciplines they teach (Kempo and others), but for fostering the kids from wee little ones to adults. We have been going to the pit for nearly 4 years now and my almost 9 year old son loves everything about it. It has been a wonderful experience in so many ways!

My son has been going here since he was just under 6years old. At 10 now, he has weathered the…read moreCOVID shutdown and learned so much from this program. To be clear, this is not just a Martial Art. It is a Self Defense form. My son has an older friend (by a year) that does BJJ and swears he can beat my son - sometimes being over-assertive while wrestling around to prove it. My son just tells him, "I can beat you, but I don't need to." This program attests to that response. He is not cocky, just confident. A healthy mix of "Don't start anything, there won't be anything" with a little "F around and find out". This is a great feeling for a pre-teen to have as they enter adolescence. Quiet confidence. Another review sums up Hezi's style well. A unique mix of "karate (kicking/punching) to judo (throws/joint manipulation) to Krav Maga (Israeli street fighting) to [Hisardut] disarming an assailant with a gun/knife/bat." My son is not trained to do katas or a series of gestures and moves. He is trained to avoid a fight, and disengage from a fight if backed into one - by any means necessary. He does not seek a fight. What makes this place even more special are people like Sasha and Ethan. I have had so many supportive and healthy conversations with Ethan (front desk support), that he makes it enjoyable to walk into the building. He makes it enjoyable to walk up to him and say Hi. You are not inconveniencing him... Sasha might be the secret ingredient here. My son is a better young man because of her specifically. She always has the kindest words of support and encouragement for him. Do yourself a favor: Try this place; and then try it again. You won't be disappointed.
