Our Kempo Kids martial arts classes will develop your child's character and teach them life-skills! Throughout their journey, our kids' karate classes will teach your child to harness the strength of the tiger, the patience of the crane, the focus of the snake, the awareness of the leopard, and the power of the dragon.
Our teen martial arts and self defense classes consists of non-stop action, making exercise fun and educational. Kicking bags, punching mitts and jumping obstacles are regular occurrences in this class. At Longevity Martial Arts, we give a lot of leadership responsibility to our Young Adults and we have very high expectations for them.
At Longevity Martial Arts, we are here to help our Adult students achieve their goals. Whether you want to improve your fitness, learn how to defend yourself, or earn a Black Belt, our goal is to help you stay on track. Our adult classes are separated into beginner and advanced levels. All students can train at their own pace and at their own abilities.
Martial art kids 3 and 4 years old love physical activity involving play. They have a rich imagination and strong desire to be less dependent on their usual caregivers. The puzzle we discovered is that many karate kids this age have a hard time with the structure in the group environment commonly found in most Martial Arts schools.
Karate kids classes for our 5 and 6 year olds are filled with the most enthusiastic students. They love creativity and problem solving, which makes them ideal students in the Martial Arts. The dilemma our instructors discovered is they are so progressive in following tasks that teachers tend to treat them like their older peers.

Wonderful program - my two young kids have been participating for almost a year and they are always excited about attending class with Sensei Jesse. The teachers are very professional and do fantastic job of keeping the class interested and engaged. We particularly appreciate the company's flexibility in accommodating private pods. Highly recommended!

My two daughters have been going to Longevity Martial Arts for over a year and we absolutely love it. It fosters physical growth and challenge, mental discipline, cultural learning - and it’s a ton of fun! In a roster of various activities, this is by far their favorite. Sensei Jesse is fantastic.

Highly recommend trying out this dojo! My kids have been training here for the past few years, and started out in the black belt kids program after school prior to that. They have group classes broken up by age level from little ones to teenagers, and adult classes as well (along with private lessons). All the senseis have a great mix of skill, compassion, and humor. Finally, a special shoutout to Sensei Shelly for being such a strong and positive female role model to all the kids. :)

Truly amazing pace. Our teen son who is now a brown belt has grown as a person because of the wonderful, talented and skilled senseis. This is the 'real deal' Shaolin mixed martial arts...not the kind of place that give out belts like candy to make you 'feel better' or included. That said, it isn't so serious that it isn't fun. The dojo is incredibly fun for kids and they do summer and other school break camps called Kamp Fu and the kids have a blast. I also love that there is a female sensei in the mix which is very inspirational to young women.

Updating my review because it is SO awesome. My son is now older and has moved up to the adult classes and they are MARVELOUS. A lovely group of people for sure. Here is the rest of my previous review and it has not changed one bit...still FABULOUS! So this review now covers kids AND adults!
This is a fantastic dojo! It is the 'real deal'...not one of those 'factory' type places for kids that tend to populate Los Angeles. Each of the dedicated senseis have trained extensively and really teach the art of Martial Arts and are great with the kids. They also teach adults. I think my son has really

When I received an email to review this school I hesitated for a moment. Then I realized that they must either sincerely want my opinion or they mailed this out to their entire address list. In either case, here is my review:
I had a wonderful experience here, beginning my deeper journey into the martial arts. The location is very central and the teaching principles are sound.
Two stars because there was too much change and I ended up leaving with the sensation the team did all they could to maintain continuity but they were dealing with external circumstances that made this too much of a challenge

USSD is absolutely the best Karate school on the Westside of town.
Sensei Jeff and Sensei Shelley work extremely well with children and adults who may have special needs of some kind.
People who are vulnerable need to have the tools to protect themselves.
Karate offers the ability for them to feel empowered, confident and safer in general.
I give USSD 5 well deserved stars for their diligence, years of experience and dedication to their students.

Sensai Courtney was an Afterschool program teacher for two dozen kids at my daughters elementary school. Not only did my daughter really like her as a Sensai she had full control over the rambunctious students.
So we signed our daughter up at the Santa Monica studio. Master Jeff runs a tight ship that is both friendly and playful. The kids all clearly have fun while learning serious techniques and the art itself. His staff is well trained martial artists that know how to engage children in a constructive and caring manner.
Both Shelly and Courtney did an excellent job. Patient, friendly, and

Our son has been studying with Sensei Shelley since February - she is terrific! He is totally engaged and she has the right combination of warmth and firmness - and she knows how to communicate the material so clearly. I don't write many reviews but I think this dojo is very special. They are so professional and the children learn much more than Kung-Fu. They are in a respectful environment and begin to emulate it. I highly recommend this dojo.

My 13 year old daughter has started taking lessons last year. Since she started late, she was a bit conscious that she wouldn't fit or be behind. But her concern was quickly lost and she just loves going. The deal includes both private and group classes. She is taught by Sensei Shelly who is a fantastic teacher: attentive and caring. I would highly recommend this dojo if you or your kids want to learn martial arts.

Excellent instructors. I had Sensei James, who is patient and listens. He will make you work, but that's a great thing. Great for kids. Sensei James is wonderful with kids. I highly recommend this place. You will learn a great deal. I have to stop in, and say hello to the instructors one of these days.
