We came to MP Karate and Krav for a trial lesson with a friend and we haven't looked back. It has been amazing to watch our child grow in ability, strength, and, most importantly, confidence. Grand Master Flame and all his instructors have worked hard to create not only a friendly learning environment but also a welcoming family as well.

My middle child started karate when he was 3. My purpose for karate was to help him with confidence but with karate it ended up being more than that. Like all kids, he tested the boundaries at home and school to see what he was allowed to get away with. His second grade year was the year of pushing boundaries. It was with the support of karate, and making connections to the words of the month that really opened conversations at home, and how those words connect with behavior as well. More importantly GM Flame was there to support us and communicate with him and getting to the root of the problem and help us, help our son. Our son wanted to do well at karate, and make his instructors happy. GM Flame would have check-ins with him and follow up with me that we were seeing improvements. I believe karate has had a great support for him and his behavior. He is now a Black Belt. The values he has learned throughout this journey carries over with him at school, home, and in public with his behavior.My youngest started karate because of his behavior at 3, a year ago. He has a very strong personality and wants to do things his way and his way only. I remember the first 6 months was hard for me to sit back and watch him misbehave and try to get away with everything during class. He would roll on the ground, shout out, not participate, run out of the line. The structure of karate and follow through has helped him tremendously. He listens, sits on his sticker, and follows directions during karate. While he still has a strong personality and pushes our buttons, he does not want to disappoint Mr. Hawe or GM Flame. He is very well behaved at school, and his behavior has drastically improved at karate. At home, he is still a work in progress and very much tries to run the show, but the small steps, and listening more often has improved.We are thankful for Moorpark Karate and the amazing team!

Four years ago my 5 year old daughter was invited to a free class and she loved it! She's 9 now and has worked so hard to learn self-defense techniques and forms. Karate has given her a whole new sense of confidence and courage. It's the best investment into our daughter we have ever made! My son started a year after my daughter and has already grown so much in his martial arts journey. He's better focused now and has really worked on his self-control. This place is committed, the instructors really care and go above and beyond. The Flames really care about their students both in and out of the studio. They always go out of their way to congratulate my kids on other achievements in various sports and school activities. Absolutely the best studio around!

I know there are choices for martial arts classes in and around the area of Moorpark. I haven't done anything like this in a long time, but I know I made the right choice with Moorpark Karate and Krav Maga. I was very nervous to try something new, but when I inquired about their programs, I was contacted promptly by the owner himself with great kindness and information about exactly what they do, and immediately had a good feeling about about it. They gave me the opportunity to come down and try it out for free, and I not only was challenged, but had fun. Several classes later, I continue to feel welcomed, and cared about by a great patient and caring staff as well as the community of people that they have brought together. Master Flame and his staff truly care about each and every individuals growth in martial arts, physical fitness, confidence and discipline. I see how they treat everyone of all ages and feel like if anyone wants to try something new like this, this is the place you want to do it. Thank you to Master Flame and his wonderful staff.

I did Kung Fu for a few years, but naturally stopped when the pandemic hit. After a two year hiatus, I figured it was time to get back into martial arts. So I decided to switch it up and try Krav Maga. So far, so good. The self-defense is very practical and you definitely get a decent workout in too. Both the instructors and students alike have been welcoming and patient as I'm getting up to speed on the drills. Overall it's a nice atmosphere that you want to be in. As a martial artist I am somewhat selective on where I train, and I'm glad I picked this school as my next stop. Can't wait to see how far I'll go here.

My son has grown a lot since we started less then a year ago. He’s more confident, more physical, and more attentive. I think a lot of people just think of Karate as self defense and discipline, but it teaches them SOOOOOO much more. At least THIS studio does. Master Flame has put together a GREAT team of instructors!!! Can’t wait to see my son go the distance.

In the short time we have been here I have seen my son make great progress. He is more comfortable in groups of people and has a great sense of self pride. He loves to practice and will ask family members to practice with him at home. The instructors are awesome with the kids and have great patience. I also think it is very nice that you still take the time to do so much for the community. I look for to see where our journey takes us. Thank you all so much!!

I am so happy we found this studio for our son who is on the spectrum. His private lessons with Master Flame weekly have not only helped him improved his balance and coordination but his attention span in other areas have improved as well. He looks forward to attending every week!

My 3 year old daughter just started the little dragon program and loves it! The instructors are all very nice and facility is clean. It just gets very crowded at times and difficult to find a place to sit but other then that, I highly recommend!
