Kids used to practice karate to stand up to bullies. Now they build up an array of many different martial arts, inspired by the professional athletes they see on TV. Kings offers Tae Kwon Do, Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts training for children, teens and adults. Its huge gym space allows up to 50 participants at a time for each class. Top-of-the-line training equipment holds up to repeated kicks. Just see the trophy and award displays for evidence of the Kings' success stories.
The Nathanson family of nearby Canoga Park runs the Academy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. All are master martial artists with many years of training and competition in a variety of styles.
The martial-arts school is "known for its welcoming personality, its collection of high-end athletes and its spectacular user-friendly teaching style," states the Academy's website.
In addition to classes offered all weeklong, seminars by master guest-instructors also take place frequently. This is an excellent West Valley martial-arts resource.
There's quite a variety of fighting styles on display at M-1 Global USA. This mixed martial arts center offers highly qualified instruction three times per week in one discipline for less than $200 and frequently offers discounted specials.
Fitness and strength training are also notable classes, and one-on-one instruction is readily available from a crew of champion-level experts. The entire faculty has successful careers in professional competition.
Professional master competitors frequently give seminars at M-1's Chatsworth facility. MMA and boxing classes for kids are a prominent part of a very full weekly class schedule.
Chatsworth Karate offers martial arts programs for mental and physical well-being. It has a number of programs for men, women, teen and pre-teen students. It is headed by Mark Cox, a sixth-degree black belt. He has brought together a staff of experts and his facility offers a number of programs in Tang Soo Do. It is a great way to learn discipline and self-control.
