The remarkable growth in his confidence and focus is a testament to the exceptional instruction he receives. The instructors embody the perfect blend of patience and firm guidance, instilling values that extend far beyond the dojo - respect, self-control, and personal growth that empowers him for life. The 'Ohana' motto is more than just a phrase - it's a way of life in this nurturing environment, where students and parents alike feel welcomed and supported. To parents seeking a haven for their child's growth, we wholeheartedly recommend this extraordinary dojo. We're grateful to have found it on our journey. Instructor Alex shines in his ability to channel high-energy students into focused learning, striking the perfect balance between instruction and enjoyment while showing genuine investment in each individual's progress. His passion resonates deeply in every class, a quality that's both rare and truly commendable. We can't recommend this studio enough to parents in the Lakeside and Santee areas looking for a place that will uplift and inspire their child, but also learn to protect themselves. See you on the mats!

He makes Karate so much fun and really takes time to give each of them attention.

So far, everyone I've met there has been patient and respectful. The coaches do a good job with the kids and I appreciate the fact that they clear out the waiting room during class time to keep distractions to a minimum. Parents can view the class on a zoom link from the comfort of your car, or if your kid takes hours of lessons and you just drop off, the comfort of your home. I will update in a few months with what we've learned :)

He will observe his environment before jumping in and Sifu does not pressure him but makes him feel comfortable to join. He is incredibly patient with him and gives him the confidence he needs. I absolutely love this class and so does my son! He is just now showing us his moves at home and is getting more confident practicing (it's been about 8 lessons). I'm so happy we found this studio and look forward to staying here as well as enrolling my other son in a few years!

Seifu Mario is wonderful with the children and achieves a beautiful balance between building genuine relationships with kiddos, while also commanding their respect, focus and discipline. Seifu manages a class full of 4-7 year olds with such ease, keeps the class running smoothly and quickly, and checks in individually with students to keep them progressing in their own KungFu practice. The studio is clean and organized and it's clear that Seifu is truly passionate about what he does as shown through his style, interactions with children and parents.

Nathan personally reached out to me and let me know that he thought my son would benefit from joining classes on a regular basis at the studio. I spoke to him about my son having issues focusing and sitting still in class (he was 5 at the time) and he said Kung Fu would be perfect for him. He has been doing Kung Fu for almost 4 years now and his behavior, concentration, and focus have improved so much. We love all of the instructors there. They are all so wonderful with the kids, very patient, and diligent. They send monthly newsletters to keep the parents informed, offer camps during school breaks, and hold fun events such as bowling and beach days to keep everyone involved and having fun. I highly recommend 5 Elements!!! Also - during this time where they have not been able to have the studio open, they have been very active virtually! They send emails with new information, as well as reminders about the zoom classes they are offering. I love that my son can still learn and practice from home.

I'm sorry the worst instruction I have ever seen. Terrible and crappy as you can get. One of the instructors said kicks are made for the body and not to the head. Then he went on saying what works we use and if it doesn't work we don't use it. Then he went on saying you have to spar with a black belt to see if your worth training. What a load of crap. Although I went their undercover,bi have been in martial arts for over forty five years and was a third degree at the time and took there so called black belt instructor to the ground. It's a joke of a school and I would urge you to save your money and go elsewhere. My green belt students were far superior to there so called black belts. They suck and that is being as polite as I can. They can offer you nothing. The worst of the worst. It should say American colleges of crap
