Absolutely 100% love this place!…read more My son has been doing karate now for a few years and this year we decided to sign up the whole family (that's me, my husband and 22-yr old daughter). There is so much to love about this for kids and adults. Besides the instruction and great customer service, there is this feeling of family. Everybody supports your progress. For kids, there is a fun, playful yet disciplined learning environment. Every class has a mat chat in which topics like bullying are discussed along with how to properly introduce yourself and make a new friend. Adults, get ready to get challenged, feel empowered and lose some extra pounds. I honestly don't know why I didn't join sooner. After the first family member is signed up, there is a discount offered for each additional family member. It's a no brainer! I can go on and on, but come see for yourself! We started a trial period at a discount with no contract. Great way to see if this is right for you or your children.

Tae Ryong has been a second family to me for most of my life. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, and push you to become a better you. For me, I have gained self-confidence while enjoying the challenge of the memorized forms and skill set of sparring. My children have grown in their focus, discipline, and motivation towards long-term goals. They've also made life-long friends. Grand Master Shin has run the studio over 35 years. There's something to say about that. (He was also the Olympic coach!) GM Shin shares his expertise with all. You need to give Tae Ryong Taekwondo a try!

My nephew just got signed up for Golden Tigers Taekwondo last Wednesday. His first class was…read moreThursday and he was excited and nervous. He came prepared and did a great job! The instructor, who was a woman, Miss Daisy, was a black belt and the daughter of Master Nunez, who opened this establishment. She did a fantastic job! She was very nice, instructed the children very well, was engaging and she was also very understanding. She had the perfect balance of everything it takes to keep this kids in check. My nephew learned a lot and very quickly. She did not overwhelm the newbies, like my nephew and he looks forward to his next class. The studio is right in Downtown Oxnard on A street. It's about $80 a month, for 3 classes a week, 12 classes a month, which breaks down to less than $7/class. It is well worth the money. There is parking in the front and the back of the studio. Parents and family are welcome to stay and watch. There are chairs in the front where the kids could be watched, but it does get hot in the studio as the windows are facing the sun as the sun begins to set so there is full sun at 5 pm. Bring water! They also sell water and snacks in the studios for those that need it. I will update my review as time goes on. I look forward to seeing how my nephew progresses in these classes!

I've had the privilege of training with Graciela Casillas on multiple occasions, and I can say this…read morewithout hesitation--she is the real deal in every sense of the word. There are accomplished martial artists... and then there are people like Graciela. Her level of skill, experience, and depth of knowledge is extraordinary, but what really sets her apart is who she is as a person. She is one of the most dedicated, generous, and genuinely giving instructors I've ever met. She doesn't just teach technique--she gives of herself. Every class, every interaction, you can feel how much she cares about her students and their growth. Spending time at CMA Martial Arts, you quickly realize this isn't just another school. There's a culture there. A feeling. It's disciplined, yes--but also deeply human. Respectful, supportive, and real. What impressed me most is her ability to connect across all levels. I've seen her work with adults--serious practitioners--and deliver high-level, no-nonsense training that commands respect. And in the same breath, she can turn around and work with children in a way that's engaging, uplifting, and full of heart. That balance is rare. She's not just teaching martial arts--she's shaping people. And as someone who has been in the martial arts world for a long time, I don't say this lightly: Graciela Casillas is one of the most accomplished and inspirational martial artists I've had the honor to train with. If you're looking for a place to train where the instruction is world-class, the culture is authentic, and the leadership truly cares--CMA Martial Arts is something special. I'm grateful for every opportunity I've had to learn from her, and I look forward to many more. -- Gregory Poretz
