My daughter attended the after-school program which she enjoyed, the only downfall is the contract they want you to sign. We had to unenroll her due to financial purposes and we are having trouble with them stopping the automatic payment from still accruing. Even after talking to them to discuss the amount due for breaking the contract.

Professional, caring instructors.
I am in awe at how good they are here with my child. They are here "literally" for the children's sake which is truly refreshing. My son is very happy and excited about his classes and they work around his needs. They build self confidence, trust and self care in a fun and safe environment (not only physically but mentally as well). In just a few weeks I have seen a transformation and motivation we needed to stay fit, focused, healthy and active.
Thank you Mr. Ramirez, Mr. Bo and Mr. Adam for your care and your professionalism.

Positive: Professionalism
I attend the adult classes, and I really enjoy them. Mr. Ramirez and the KOA team are professional, and kind; I also think it's helpful to me that they've all individually explored so many styles of martial arts, but have stuck with kenpo. I'm learning a lot, and I enjoy doing it.

If I could rate it 10stars, I would. Have my 3 kids take classes here and they love it. They've already learned alot in the month in a half of attending. Has even brought 2 of my kids out of their shell alot. I started taking the adult night class and I'm addicted. I die in every class but the difference I see in my strength and muscles keep me addicted and going. All the instructors are beyond professional and extremely passionate in what they do. The patience they have with the children is what got me locked in first and foremost. They really make sure to give individual attention to every student

I’ve been training at KOA for about a month now and every single time it’s been amazing. Mr. Ramirez really wants to show you the best ways to defend yourself and encourages you to become stronger in mind, body and soul. Sometimes I’ll be feeling tired all day but after class I’ll be so rejuvenated, even after our hard workouts!
With a membership here you’ll have access to the gym any sessions of the week. There’s CrossFit/boxing classes and then there’s the MMA classes at different times, and both of them are awesome. Absolutely worth checking out, everyone at KOA is so friendly

What can I say that hasn't been said? Very nice and friendly instructor. My boys love coming here. Everyone who attends loves it. Fair pricing. Can't say enough great things about this place. If you're reading this cause you're considering attending, look no further. You or your kids will not be disappointed.

Mr. Ramirez has one of the top notch martial arts school programs that I have seen in a long time. He has a best kids as well as adult martial arts program that I have seen. It show on how he teach his student with so much passions and charisma. If you are looking a martial arts school for your self or your kids I highly recommend this program. Keep up the great work sir I love the atmosphere at your school and it is very rare to find a school that has a great program and instructor plus staff that cares about their students. Definitely the place I would sign my kids and recommend people to.

If I could give Koa Kenpo Karate ten stars, I would. This place is amazing. My kids have been attending the classes for several months already and they love it. Mr. Ramirez doesn't have to tell you that he loves what he does, you see it for yourself. You can see he pours his heart and soul when he trains his students. Mr. Ramirez and the other instructors are very patient with the kids; they provide amazing support for them to excel and be better every time. This place is very family oriented. I myself joined the boxing class and couldn't be happier. It is a very intense workout yet I feel great

The classes help my kids with their everyday life. They are much more confident since they started this class. I have twins and my son has been working with Mr. Ramirez for over 6 years. The instructor has over 20 plus years experience in teaching. I mainly put my son in this program for self confidence. He also has tight muscles and the exercise and stretches help him with that. My daughter is very shy and it took her a little more time to participate. She would sit through classes for about a month until she opened to the idea. The instructors and the other children brought her out of her shell
