My son is 8, and my husband attends the adult classes. I'm so grateful for the discipline and respect that our son is learning. We are in it for the long haul, if you are searching for a place that encompasses self defense, physical activity, friendship and responsibility, this is the place!

The Jeff Speakman's Kenpo 5.0 karate system is the best there is. This version of American Kenpo has combined Mr. Ed Parker's American Kenpo and adapted it to include the ground work that Jiu Jitsu is well known for.This world wide organization excels with teaching both children and adults self discipline, loyalty, honor, integrity, confidence, strength of mind and body.My family and I have been a part of this organization for the last four years, and the people have become family. Not since my military days have I found a camaraderie as strong as this.

I am so happy Sensei Berj brought Karate to West Whittier! In just the short time my boys have been participating, they have learned the importance of focus, goal-setting, and self-defense... all in a very fun learning environment. Highly recommended!

Sensei Berj teaches the children a great deal of discipline, manners, responsibility, and respect; much of which kids and adults lack of nowadays. He's very fair and equally as patient with all students. He's great with communication which is a big deal to me. My son's grades have improved since he started 2 months ago and his confidence is growing. Berj also sends weekly parenting advice- a bonus! I'm loving it, thank you!
