The 1-2 Punch - Little dragons great program for little ones - Martial Arts Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

This is a great studio. It's fun and clean. It's a heathy culture. Children love it here. My children love it here too. They approach everything with a lot of care and attentiveness. I've seen a positive impact on both my daughters since they started. Student led teaching still impresses me! The student leaders are kind and respectful and absolutely talented. Don't hesitate to take your family here. The kickboxing program is fabulous too! I attend that program when I can. Great instruction! Fun environment. I hold the student teachers with high regard as their professionalism is evident. This studio is what children need today of all ages. And they know you by name. Know your family. And you feel like you are part of one big family. read more

A year ago we tried this place out for a few months. They offer the typical martial arts scheme low cost entry with a free uniform. It's some sort of club you're trapped into. We can never get them to stop charging us for monthly membership, master don the bald guy with the hat is totally rude about exiting and unclear. Unless you want to join for life stay away from this place. They are a clique and show favoritism to their more regular kids and your kid will feel left out if they only attend once a week. Like all martial arts in the area be very careful of the fine print and scheme to join their clubs. This one is military in its approach as well, making it feel like a drill sergeant is leading the way. The families that are into are very into the world of this military scheme. Anyone just casually interested in martial arts should stay away from this place. I totally regret ever signing up. read more

The best class , the kindest teachers , highly recommend , good prices, private classes available

I recently started kickboxing classes in here and I do enjoy them very much! Great atmosphere, cute studio, great and funny teachers! I am learning something new while having fun! I do recommend for sure! read more

I've been going here for a few weeks now and I really enjoy the classes. Encouragin, friendly instructors who motivate you through a workout that actually gets you results. I've lost quite a bit of weight since starting and am even starting to see muscle tone (yay!). The adult karate course is only two days a week, but they offer kickboxing classes at a variety of times so it's easy to fit in a workout even around a busy schedule. Highly recommended. read more

The 1-2 Punch - My weight loss after one month of training - Martial Arts Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

This review is long overdue! Let me start by saying that I love the kickboxing classes AND the people here!! The classes are fun and you get such a great workout! I've been coming here for almost 1 year and am so happy with the workouts, the results and my health. I've been wanting to workout for the last few years, but with kids and a FT job, it's been really hard to find something that works with my schedule. The class times offered here work really well with my schedule (there are classes as late as 8:30pm), so I can finally focus on me! The first half of class is a good mix of cardio and strength training and the second half of class is bag work. They teach you technique and how to properly punch and kick. It's really fun. I definitely recommend trying the kickboxing classes here! read more

I cannot put into words how much these classes have helped my teenage son. I only wish I would have started him sooner! His confidence in himself has soared. He looks forward to each class every week attending two classes and hasn't missed a week since starting in July 2021. Watching him each week as he improves has been amazing to witness. He looks forward to showing us his new/improved moves after each class. The staff and instructors truly feel like family. Thank you so much for all you do for our son! read more

We are so happy we found this place for our son! Master Leo is great and answered all our questions and never pressured us once. The instructors and assistants are amazing! They really help my son feel comfortable and make sure he has a great time! They understand that each child is different and the kids learn so much! The prices are affordable and I highly recommend coming here. Thank you 1-2 punch, we appreciate everything you do for us! read more

I had been wanting to try a kickboxing class for ages, so when a Groupon popped up for this place 5 minutes from my house, I nabbed it right away. 10 classes and a set of boxing gloves for $50? That's a ridiculous deal. I've been to two classes so far and I am already sure I'll be joining once I've used up the Groupon. Their classes are really intense and you work up a ridiculous sweat. The instructors are great and take the time to make sure the newbies get the moves down. The kickboxing classes do get busy, so you need to reserve your spot for each class. At first I thought that might be a pain because I liked the idea of being able to run off to a class last minute, but it actually helps keep me accountable and will make sure I can't blow off class because I don't feel like going. Not that I'd ever do that! ;) If you've been wanting to give kickboxing a try, this is great place to do it! read more

Definitely go here!!!! You will get the results you are looking for :) The instructors show you proper form, push you to your limits, & motivate you to come back and do it again. I am starting to see improvement in my endurance (which definitely wasn't there before). The establishment is filled with positive energy and everyone offers encouragement. You leave feeling like you worked out - awesome!!! read more

I've taken a lot of "kickboxing" classes which end up being "cardio kickboxing" this one is a little bit of both. They offer a more aerobic class and a more "technique" based class. but both, will kick your ass for sure. In addition, it doesn't have the "fast moves" that the traditional cardio kickboxing classes that i've taken. You really can go at your own pace without being trampled. (you know, the classes that seem like you're just doing dance moves vs a work out) Class size is limited, everyone is really positive and the instructors are GREAT! They are not only encouraging, but will also push you hard core. I already feel the results and I'm only going once a week. They have a great internet deal for 5 classes (which includes the gloves) and I already signed up for a punchcard (will probably doing this class with some good old straight up running). I really like the use of the punching bags, weight balls,etc. they make it pretty integrative work-out. There is a lot of diversity too to each class..they always have something different up their selves. No 2 classes i've been to have been the same. I signed up for a 65 class punchcard, and i'm ready to bring it. :) PS.. do the internet deal first..it gives you a feel of the class (1 class doesn't do justice) and then they wave the start up fee after that. I signed up after the 5th class and they waved it (vs making you commmit right after the 1st class in the 5 class series) read more

Awesome workout!! This is such a great place to try out kickboxing. I've been going here since April and it's felt like I've known the staff much longer. They are very personable and encouraging. They really know what moves work to make everyone break a sweat! Not only will you burn calories and tone up at their classes, you will walk away feeling great! A bit sweaty, but great! 1 hour of time well spent! And as you can see from the picture I uploaded, 1 class a week for me has made quite an impact on my body! read more

The 1-2 Punch - I wasn't completely out of shape when I started going here. But in 6 classes I've toned my abs, my thighs, my arms, and my ass! - Martial Arts Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I've never owned a gym membership in my 28 years of life and this year 2014 I was one of "those" people that made a resolution to start working out. I took a chance on the Groupon special to see if this would hold my interest (it takes a lot to get me to workout) and I have been pleasantly surprised. I like that there is someone telling me what to do for the entire hour. I can't be trusted to work out on my own, I basically need someone to tell me exactly what to do. It's kind of like having a personal trainer. The teachers here are really nice and encouraging and non-intimidating, which is important if you're an anti-gym rat like me. The workout is AMAZING. I am literally drenched in sweat every single class. There is variety from class to class so we're not doing the same thing every time. Also the class times they offer are perfect for those of us working all day. I still struggle every day to get my butt off the couch to go to the gym but once I'm here, I feel so good and that feeling keeps me coming back for more. read more

Such a positive experience! I purchased a deal on Groupon for ilovekickboxing classes. Not only are the classes a great workout but so much fun! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the instructors are awesome. I enjoyed my 10 sessions and would definitely recommend this facility. read more

The 1-2 Punch - Kickboxing Hours. - Martial Arts Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

So incredibly thankful that our family found the 1-2Punch. EVERY THING you guys do is amazing!! I'm not solely interested in my daughter learning self defense, but, more so life skills, social skills and character building. Your school and staff are incredible and we just love what you've done for our family. Raising a daughter who is differently-abled requires a village of remarkable individuals. We consider you ALL part of our team and we are grateful for the love you have for the kids. The experience you have and the wisdom you share is second to none. We have reached out to many resources and nothing else has felt more long lasting and foundational than what your classes have to offer. You make an impact on our world that lasts generations. We are so happy and proud to know you and be part of your organization. You are a rare breed Master Domino and we are all better having your influence in our daily lives!! Thank you for ALL you do!! To any parent who is maybe looking for something more than just self defences, look no further. Your in good hands. read more

I'm going to be so so so honest. I'm literally in tears right now typing this. But this place is so amazing they teach my son respect, responsibility, honesty! They are so awesome and I'm head over heels for this place everyone there is very welcoming and the parents are nice! And most of all master Leo and the other gentleman that helped me (sorry didn't catch your name ) are the most helpful nicest people I've ever met and their two assistants yesterday were amazing as well ! If you love your child take them here this place is absolutely amazing perfect and welcoming ! My son and I are too happpy and can't wait till Friday read more

My son has been going to 1-2 Punch for 7 years now. He started as a 4-year old in their Little Dragons program. We absolutely love it. They have two awesome Master instructors there, one of which is actually the founder of this particular martial arts program that they teach, and several other wonderful instructors. I can only say great things about this place, but the best thing is that they make you feel like family there. If you are interested in finding a good martial arts program that fits you and your kids, you can just come by and sit in and watch, see how you feel for your kid or even take a couple of trial classes. That is what we did and fell in love with the place! read more

Love the little dragon classes! Teaches kids at a young age to earn and work hard to achieve goals. I admiral their emphasis on discipline , focus and structure, are what the makes Martial arts a perfect fit for kids . Highly recommend this place read more

If you are looking for a great place to have younger kids start karate, they are awesome. My 6 year old has been going here for the last 18 months or so. Master Brown and Master Domino and Instructor Austin are so great with the kids-- patient yet firm. My son says "yes ma'am and yes sir" now outside of class and it is great for their focus and self esteem. With covid the dojo was closed for several months and they pivoted to online zoom classes and virtual belt tests quickly and it is something my son looked forward to every week. They offer virtual classes both one-on-one instruction and in a class setting. read more

Absolutly 5 stars! Our son recently started karate here and we couldn't be more impressed and he couldn't be happier. Grand Master Domino has a great family oriented martial arts studio. The classes are perfectly suited to the child's age. Master Brown leads our sons class and he is fabulous! Our son asks every day when he gets to go to karate. He has already learned so many new skills. read more

My 4 year old son was nervous to go to a new extracurricular activity but the instructors at The 1-2 Punch are extremely professional and were able to ease him into karate and by the end of the first lesson he was having a blast. He looks forward to every class now. I highly recommend The 1-2 Punch Karate Family Mixed Martial Arts. read more

This place is great! We have been to two classes already and they ave been intense. Both times I left the class feeling accomplished and I have learned some new techniques. It is fun pushing ourself to the max. Used groupon for an awesome deal of 10 classes for $50. read more

Ive done a few different types of kickboxing classes over the last few years and this one is the best. I have never sweat so much in my life end enjoyed doing it. The class is tough but great for all different fitness levels because you can go at your own pace. I highly recommend this place to everyone I know, totally amazing!!! read more

Over a year later...and our daughter has been doing this for a year, and our 1 year old will start soon. We moved, and even drive the half hour every Saturday to come to class. This place gets better and better! Keep up the good work 1-2 Punch! read more

My kids have been going here for a month now and we (the kids and parents love it). They try to have different instructors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and rotate the drills so it's different each time. I love the discipline the kids are learning and the focus on getting the kids to follow direction. The only negative...sometimes the classes seem a bit too crowded and there's less attention on some of the little ones who are fine with being complacent. The positive...after every class my kids leave saying they had fun at karate. read more

Buyer beware! My wife signed up for a three month long Kick Boxing class. At the end the three months my wife was no longer going however they kept on charging our credit card. So we are out 1000 dollars, and they refused to reimburse us. Never ever give these dishonest people your credit card! We never authorized a monthly payment! Only three months. Don't let them trick you! read more

Its a shame to see one rating so low when all the other reviews are great, I've been coming here for about 9 months now I love their night classes, I never seem to make it on the weekend, I came upon this place through their groupon, which is an awesome deal and I'm so glad I went for it, its fun and quite the work out, I highly recommend this place, everyone is great and welcoming and encouraging, what do you have to lose, except a few pounds? read more

Love going here, I am totally addicted to Kickboxing now! Instructor Anthony and Master Domino are very supportive and gives you the motivation you need to work harder. I never thought that I would enjoy kickboxing as much as I do now! I highly recommend this place! read more

My 4 year old son started the Little Dragons program when he was 3.5 years old. It has been such an awesome experience!! The instructors are amazing!! Their level of patience with the children is wonderful. The kids are encourage participation through positive reinforcement which is why they have so much fun and are eager to cooperate and follow instructions. The exercises they do are great for gross motor development. Coordination, strength, and balance are all promoted. Watching these little kids do kicks, punches, jumping jacks, and other drills is one of the cutest things in the entire world!! Most importantly, my son is happy and super excited to go to karate each week!! I also love that he is engaged in a group activity but is able to advance at his own pace. The 1-2 Punch is the best!!! read more

My son started Karate Kidz last summer as a 5 year old who gave up on all sports after an awful T-ball experience. He LOVES Karate. It's seriously the best decision we've made to enroll him. A few months after he started I was inspired by my son to start the school's Kickboxing. I'm almost down 40 pounds from when I started in October! The Master is super friendly. The instructors are awesome and encouraging. Great core building workouts for sure. read more

I've been working out here for about 5 months now and absolutely love it! The atmosphere is great in that everyone is motivating and helps you go at the pace you want. I love the intensity of the work out and the upbeat music definitely helps too! Overall this is the best place I have found to motivate me to work out consistently. read more

I joined the kickboxing class over a year now and I still love it! I live a little far but I really don't mind because I enjoy it so much. The instructors are equally great and they keep you motivated. My first day was very intense, but I didn't give up and I'm glad I didn't. They keep track of your weight, your muscles, and your fat so you can find out if you improve or not. The music they play are fun and upbeat and the other kickboxers are friendly and helpful. I met a lot of great people. I recommend others to join because it's a really great workout and you are having fun! read more

I love 1-2 Punch/ I love Kickboxing! I have been doing it for over 2 months and have seen incredible results! I have lost weight and gained a new family! The class instructors really push you to work your hardest and get a good work out in! Even though it's hard work it feels great knowing I know how to defend myself and that I get a good work out! I would highly recommend I Love Kickboxing to anyone that wants to get in incredible shape and make a new family. read more

If you are serious about working out and you want to shed some ponds. This is the place to go. Great group of people! Awesome work out! Lost 7 ponds in one month! looking forward to loosing some more. read more

Their kickboxing classes are definitely a great workout! Leo, the instructor is great and provides feedback when needed on different combinations. They also provide you with a monitor to wear around your arm so you can see when you are working in the red zone. I'm really more motivated due to the smaller class size and feel challenged in pushing myself to get to and stay in the red zone. This is a fun way to get in your cardio and stay healthy! read more

It is truly an awesome class. I am completely hooked and I can't wait for my next class. I received individual attention in this group class. Instructors know me and they encourage me to try my best. I walk out of every class with feeling that I have given everything and know that I got a great workout. I appreciate the dedication instructors give to the class. Also, I love that fact that each class is filled with some hard-working students to encourage me even more. Thanks for the great workout! read more

Both my son and I both go here, and so far, we both love it. My son is 4 1/2, and can't stop talking about how much he loves karate. We can already see small changes in his attitude and focus. As for me, I'm challenged, and determined to earn my next belt. Instructor Anthony can command a class full of adults, then the next day, hold the attention of a class full of children, and manage to be likable at the same time. Amazing place, I highly recommend. read more

Great for all age groups! Kids, Teens, and Adults! Great workout! Great Staff! Great for you! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! If you have kids, they also make sure they are doing good in school! It will help your Chids Future as it did mine! I LOVE THE 1-2 PUNCH!!!!! read more

We love 1-2 punch. My son does karate and I am in the adult karate and kick boxing. The instructors are awesome. They have taught my son a lot. They make me work my butt off. They make it fun. read more
