    One thing led to another, I had the chance to interview with SiFu and I eventually started my training in December 2010.

Others only seemed to offer group karate lessons to the "masses" and I never felt like my child received any individual attention. With Z-Ultimate in Murrieta, Sensei Pierce offers Shaolin Kempo Karate and provides all his students with the basic understanding of all the animals: Tiger, Crane, Snake, Leopard, and Dragon which all have very different postures and focuses on a more traditional approach. There's always an uplifting and positive "quote of the week" listed on the board in the dojo, we're always greeted when entering, phone calls are always returned within the same day. Sensei Pierce has always been accommodating in rescheduling private sessions due to vacation schedules. The most important part is my son enjoys going. He's met a ton of new friends, he's more responsive and better behaved to helping out at home and over-all- a happier child. He's learning discipline and different self-defense techniques while enjoying it at the same time. ***Added side note--- The karate studio is located right next to a major grocery store, two Chinese restaurants, a Mexican restaurant, a subway, an Irish pub, etc. So you can always grab a boba drink and do some light grocery shopping for your night's dinner while your kids are doing karate. ;)

Great environment! Looking forward to more improvement in the months to come.

    I've been studying here for approximately two and a half months. Already, I feel far more confident…read morein my footing moving about my daily activities, and more sure in my step. On top of that, I have lost at least 17 additional pounds of weight since starting, and my weight is still slowly falling. I'm careful of what I eat, and make sure I eat real food and clean, but by no means am I starving myself. That got me about 17 pounds of weight loss through August, but I had plateaued, and an additional 17 pounds were lost since I started Oom Yung Doe. I originally came here to preserve my mobility and independence as I get older. I'm in my early 60's, but I see those not much older than me having trouble getting around, and it's everywhere. I'm doing this as an investment in my future. Still, there are far greater benefits than weight loss and mobility to be found at this school. I worked out quite well, but my knee was still giving me grief. Our Assistant National Instructor helped me with some stretching exercises. I still am certain that the damp, rainy weather we're having right now is part of it. I've felt most storms coming in that knee since I was at least thirteen years old. However, it did improve. I will keep doing this particular stretch daily going forward. It still amazes me, the kindness of this school. They work with people of all races, genders, ages, and conditions with consideration, and with compassion. This really is a community, and so far, I have enjoyed meeting every person I've connected with here. I am grateful to be able to learn here, at this particular school, at this stage of my life. Thank you for reading. I bow to my instructors, and all who have preserved, improved, and passed down this art before me. With Respectful Regards, Dan

It's not just another studio, it's a family, and not like Cobra Kai, but more like The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You don't wear a shell, and you don't fight an Asian dude with a shiny metal helmet and razor sharp gauntlets, but you do train with the best and practice Northern Green Dragon Shaolin Kung Fu. So when people ask if you're kung fu is good, you can say, "hell yea." Training here is always a blast, and quite a workout. Before CMAI, I never really worked with weapons. Well, I did used bo staffs, because I got serious bo staff skills, but I never practiced with swords. You get swords here. That's how hard core they are about showing you the power of ass kickery. Sifu Dwight Love is one of the most awesome practitioners of the art, and an accomplished instructor. He's an older black man with a face that says he don't take crap from no one, but he's very kind and always patient with his students. Just think of Samuel L Jackson and replace his guns with Chuck Norris' ass kicking fists of fury and round house kicks of death--that's Sifu Dwight. Going to CMAI, I've learned 2 things: How to kick ass and how to take names. It's a great studio and they have lessons for all ages.
