They have the knowledge and attitude to keep kids attention non-stop while instilling the tenants of Tang Soo Do. My kid loves going to class and it's quite a show to watch. No matter the skill level, they give every child the same amount of attention, discipline, and respect. The very flexible class schedule is also supportive of family schedules. Looking forward to staying here for years to come! CONs: Parking is tough but otherwise this place rocks!

When she asked to take karate after seeing Karate Kid, I honestly didn't think she'd follow through -- but she absolutely loves it here. I've even met parents who trained under Master Kenneth themselves and now drive from far away so their own kids can learn from him, which says so much about his skill and impact. He runs the class with discipline, precision, and so much compassion for kids at every level. The flexible schedule helps fit class into our busy life, and there's a truly special, welcoming energy. Highly recommend!

American Family Kenpo Karate is a place you can learn self defense as well as the art of karate…read more Very kid friendly. The instructors Mr. Wilson and Ms. Alba care about the children and adults they teach. They do not just teach martial arts but good values. Respect, discipline and manners are just a few. My five your old grandson attends classes here. I am very comfortable that he goes here. He is definitely in good hands. For an affordable start up and monthly fee. My grandson is given a uniform (gee), belt, sparing gloves and three lessons a week in a clean studio. The studio isn't massive but has enough space for several students to move around in. Having all the necessary equipment- punching and kicking bags, padded matt and a large mirror to work in front of. The studio even has a sitting area for non-participants to watch the class. Overall, a well ran karate studio taught by people who know Kenpo Karate/ self defense and how to teach to it. Support local businesses especially the good ones. American Family Kenpo Karate is great. I highly recommend this place.

I looked around San Diego for a self defense place to teach my kids (and complete my own learning)…read more In today's world, it's important that women know how to protect themselves and others. I came upon American Family Kenpo. Having experience in Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu, and Kenpo before, I always remembered Kenpo as having the most comprehensive and effective self defense training. So, I joined with my daughters and have been very pleased since. Kenpo is not meant to be showy, but meant to be real- and to deal with real situations and even multiple opponents. The kids program is excellent. Children practice strikes, blocks, and escape procedures. Kids do not spar against other kids but instead at taught to deal with an adult sized opponent. My girls love it. They are encouraged to work through the hard parts and they are taught discipline and ownership as well. During C19 the studio offered online courses and my kids were just as into it. And, I was super thankful for their willingness to do something difficult for them, but a relief to me with three energetic kids. Please note, this is classified as a gym and therefore they have a gym membership style of payment, etc, so make sure you are ready to commit before you sign up.

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.

I was a bit worried because he's a beginner in an all-levels 13-17 year old class. Right now he's the only one with a white sash. But I didn't need to fret. There are usually 2-3 instructors in the class (one might be an assistant) so he gets plenty of help. They have individual instruction during the class to work on specific things the kid needs to master, plus group instruction. The group is very kind to my son and his self-confidence is growing. It's pretty cool to see.
