    The amazing thing about Carson ATA Martial Arts is that they are selling a class that appeals to…read morekids but is really aimed at the adults. Your kid will want the instruction, which is how Carson ATA gets you in the door. But how they get you to stay, is that they offer more than just a class containing instruction and your typical respect-based techniques of martial arts on tap for the taking. They offer to the parents a system of keeping the kids interested in being better kids. For a short part of the 50 minute class, parents get to stand up and explain how the kids did on meeting a certain goal (perhabs to be more respectful or in whatever way to be better kids). In front of the entire group, the kids are cheered on by the dojo about whatever little thing was hard for the kid to do at home over the course of the week. These skills in motivating kids to respect their parents is incredible. Why? Because these skills are taught by the same dojos who teach your kid how to fight and how to protect the child against attackers, which is what the kid really wants. So for every future black belt in the making, you get a child that is primarily concerned with doing the best he can at home, for you, so he gets to come back and learn to spar and grapple and use the equipment. A smarter business model there has never been. My kids are already wanting to go back. And I have a super hard kid that hates everything, plus is incredibly shy. In fact, I was very defeated at first that my child didn't want to participate over the first 30 minutes. But by the end of class, with some very clever motivation from the dojo, all the kids welcomed my child (who was probably feeling very uncomfortable being un-wallflowered) and got her on the floor and eventually she was doing some moves with the others and having a good time. They really want to come back. I actually hope my children become black belts. I can see this really working out.

    Carson ATA has helped my daughter develop confidence in a positive, constructive environment. She…read morelearns not only martial arts, but life skills that we employ at home and at school. I appreciate the time that each instructor spends with her to ensure she is ready for testing, for sparring and her next goal. She has advanced and as the classes have become more difficult, her passion has grown to include special stunt classes.

    I was visiting South Tahoe for vacation and finally decided to train at Escobar Training Grounds (I…read morehad looked them up during previous trips but didn't have the time to train). I called the night before and the receptionist was very friendly and answered all of my questions regarding classes and pricing. I took 3 days of the morning 9:30 am kickboxing class and loved each day! I arrived early the first day to fill out a waiver form and to pay the drop-in fee (plus to get an idea of the gym protocols and layout). Coach Cory met me and gave me a tour of the gym which is very spacious with a full ring, multiple heavy bags, a speed bag, BJJ mat, and the open mat area (where kickboxing classes are held). Lots of area to store your gear - cubicles vs lockers - and clean bathrooms and changing areas. As for the class, it is beginner-friendly (there was a guy there who has only trained for a week) but also great for intermediate and seasoned martial artists. I have trained in Muay Thai for 18 months at a Bay Area gym (American kickboxing is different yet I felt completely safe and welcome at ETG). I was the solo female each day and each of my training partners (from the new student to the competitive fighters) were respectful (ie no huge egos or machismo which I have experienced at other gyms; worked at my level but still challenged me; did not go full power but increased it if I encouraged them to; no crazy bruises or injuries that I have gotten from other "overzealous" training partners at other gyms) and very patient (I had to learn each person's rhythm and flow with their combos and also new kickboxing techniques but I never felt rushed/judged). The best part: they were genuinely friendly - said hi to me and welcomed me to the gym; chatted with me and gave me some great recommendations for food and sight seeing; and even remembered my name each day. Ladies, do not be intimidated to try this gym out - it is a safe and welcoming environment and each of the guys especially Coach Cory will watch out for you! The only heads up: you will get the most out of your training here if you know how to hold Thai pads. if you've never used them, don't worry - Coach and the guys can teach you as you train. The class is NOT a fitness/dance cardio kickboxing type class (ie high energy music with everyone throwing the same combos and/or kicks that are choreographed) - it's legit martial arts training. You will learn attacking combos, defensive moves, and will train punches, kicks, teeps, and knees. The catch: you call out combos as a pad holder for your partner for an entire round and you rotate partners; then you switch to being the "attacker". I had a blast learning new punch combos and fakes that I haven't learned in Muay Thai. Very fun because you work mentally and physically! And, ladies, this type of training is self-defense - yes, you'll get in crazy good shape BUT more importantly, you'll learn how to punch and kick properly and effectively to protect yourself if need be! Thank you again to Coach Cory and the 9:30 am kickboxing crew! I can't wait to train with you guys again the next time I'm in Tahoe!

    This is an amazing, well run, family owned, caring, professional and experienced establishment.

While they are heavy hitters in their history in professional fighting they uphold a welcoming and supportive environment. You must go!

    I was pleasantly surprised to find Sensei Linzie is in the direct tree of Ed Parker. The lineage…read morebranches to Dave Hebler, then to Barry Elwood then to Antoine Linzie. For authenticity of American Kenpo's sake this is a great thing. The dojo/training center is conveniently located and there's plenty of parking in a secure and well lit complex. Mr. Linzies teaching style is really good and he seems to be as thorough with the adult class as he is the little ones (never really too early as long as you can pay attention for the instruction!) But he makes sure you understand what your doing -- then you practice it / drill it to build the muscle memory. He also doesn't gloss over questions and answers them in a way you'll understand. His promotion system is fair -- you won't get promoted until you really understand the belt level BUT he doesn't seem to be one to hold you back at a low belt forever either -- offering tips on the belt as a step towards the next level. He runs specials from time to time so watch for a flyer or ask him what specials he's running. He also runs a womens self defense class that I feel is a great contribution to the community from time to time (recommended) The good guys wear black...and that's my goal a black gi (ask Sensei Linzie if you don't know) Osu!

    From the owner: Kenpo is a Street 1st Martial Art, that adds other aspects of self defense.read more
