My son started around 5 years old and is now 8 and is loving it! My daughter started at 5 and is now 6 and also loves it. It has given them great confidence in themselves and taught them great skills including self control and learning how to follow instructions. The staff is so kind and caring. They are so so soooo patient with the kids. My daughter was nervous at first but they were so sweet with her and made her feel so welcomed and made it so fun for her. They really make you feel like family here. The kids learn sooo much and have fun at the same time. I would very highly recommend Honor Roll 100%!!! The staff is absolutely wonderful

Everyone from the coaches to the students were super friendly and made me feel right at home. The instruction was awesome. The professor explained things clearly, with a ton of attention to detail, but still kept the class fun and easy to follow. We went into drilling the technique and I got a great workout in while I was there. There were kids' classes going on before the adult class, and the atmosphere was super positive great place for families or anyone just getting started in jiu-jitsu. If you're in the area and looking for a solid place to train, definitely check this gym out. I'll 100% be dropping in again next time I'm around!

I met Sifu Glenn by pure chance before the studio even opened--just saw "Kali" on the back of his sweater and asked if there were classes in SCV. That one random question led to private lessons and eventually being part of something way bigger than I expected. What started for me as a search to learn knife skills turned into a deep dive into arts like Silat, JKD, Muay Thai, and more. And it's not just about fighting--it's the technique, the philosophy, and even the history behind these arts that Sifu Glenn brings into every class. He's incredibly patient, always focused on making sure your technique is clean before speeding things up. One of the first lessons that stuck with me was "slow is smooth, smooth is fast"--something I heard back in the military, and was happy to see the familiar mantra being taught. Another thing I really respect--at the end of each session, he asks what stood out to you or what you learned. In the Army, we called that an after action review. It's a chance to reflect on what you noticed, what you did well, and what you could've done better. That kind of mindset builds real progress. He's generous with his time, keeps communication clear, and is genuinely invested in your growth. If you want real training rooted in purpose, tradition, and skill--this is where you want to be.

Sifu Glenn combines his lessons from numerous martial arts: Kali, Silat, JKD, Muay Thai and a few grappling arts. With all of us students from different backgrounds and various arts of our own, he teaches us in ways we understand from theory and application and does his best in passing along of the beautiful tradition of these arts. Sifu Glenn is all the best you think of when you think about martial arts masters combined into one if there were one. I appreciate his generosity from his endless depth of knowledge from his experience and am grateful for his kindness and patience.

All three of us have been taking Kung Fu, and my son who is 12 and I also take Kenpo Fighting Sticks. About a year ago Master Dave brought Krav Maga into the studio, and it is AWESOME. This is the Israeli combat/defense system taught to their army and defense forces. It's an unbelievable work out with lots of cardio, but very practical in terms of self defense. After the first lesson you'll walk away feeling more confident, and definitely like you've had a work out.

They offer a variety of martial arts, so you'll be able to find whatever you're looking for. Krav maga, kung fu for all ages and levels, shinkendo, "fight club", weapons training. I've taken many krav maga classes, one kung fu class, and many shinkendo classes. Their schedule is updated weekly and can be found online, so you'll always know what class is happening when. Master Dave (who I've had krav maga classes with) and Sensei Lynch (who I've had shinkendo with) are both incredibly respectable and respectful, friendly people and great teachers. Master Dave always explains the reasoning behind the movements you're learning and how they apply to a self-defense situation. Sensei Lynch offers LOADS of insightful history about samurai and Japanese swordsmanship. Both classes are a great work out. And even with all their experience and expertise, both teachers are still humble about it and love to see their students' progress. If you're interested I very much recommend taking one of their free classes to try it out and see how you like it. Unlike some places I've been to, you won't feel pressured about anything.

As the weeks have passed bringing my kids to class, I pivoted from LA fitness, and my core focus on adult basketball league and hoopin, and decided to sign up for personal boxing classes.
