My son and I have been training in the Arnis weapons program for a few months. I trained in a variety of arts in my 20s and early 30s and am having a blast! IMO kali is an immediately applicable art, its foundation emphasizes simple body mechanics applied to non specific weapons and open hand techniques. The bonus has been the time I spend with my 17 year old son. The instructors and students are truly welcoming. Guru Kent is an outstanding instructor and is great at motivating focus and has fostered a fun and inclusive environment.

Beyond impressed and happy with KSK. I've been sending my 9 year old there for the past month and couldn't be happier. If you're looking for a school where your kid(s) is going to be treated like a special/delicate flower and the focus is on memorizing katas to "earn" the next belt, then this isn't the place for you or your child. However, if you're wanting a MA school that instills discipline, life lessons, rewards and recognizes hard work, all while learning unarmed combatives - then this 110% is the place to go. Only regret I have is not starting my son sooner.

My son has been a student here for several months and LOVES it (in the Little Ninjas program). The staff is great, very friendly. Instructions during class are well structured and organized, as well as appropriate for and geared towards youth learners. If you are looking for a high-quality, high-energy atmosphere for your kid(s) to learn MMA, or get exercise, learn discipline, respect, self-defense and confidence - all at an affordable rate - this is the place.
