Martial Arts is a physical discipline; one must be in control of ones mind and body during class in order to advance. A rigorous and regular karate regime can help bring shy people out of their shells and make them fearless. Karate helps develop the core physical properties of the human body - endurance, flexibility and strength.

The Puma System was created in 1974 by Master Jerry E. Fisher. It was an evolvement of a lifetime of study. The system is a truly eclectic, typically American blending of the best and most effective parts of; American boxing, Japanese and Okinawan Karate and various Korean and Chinese systems. The combination of these elements has resulted in the synergistic development of a uniquely American fighting art.
Forms are the foundation of Karate. Each form is a series of pre determined techniques that are memorized and performed in the same way every time. Forms are the best way to practice your Karate when you are by yourself. Forms build muscle memory and train our bodies to react with a solid base and good technique.

I guess every one has a unique perspective. I'm not one for bashing people or their business, it's just not cool. As a matter of fact I came on yelp, to see the comments left behind by people that have experienced Puma Karate. I was not surprised to see a lot more positive comments that negative comments, as a matter of fact there was only one negative comment. I decided to comment only because My experience talking to Stacey was kind of interesting. I respect the fact that Stacey stands his ground, and that's something that I respect and admire, but and yes sometimes there is a

This was written to me by puma in response to me witnessing a child being belittled in class.
"Interesting perspective you have there, because all the other parents would highly disagree with your review. You must not be very experienced with children. PUMA KARATE has an amazing reputation on and off this mountain. Mr. Stacy and Miss Karen are some of the most dedicated instructors you will ever have the chance to meet. If I were you I would not comment about the discipline of someone else's child, when you have no idea what that particular family might be dealing with. If you have

I studied at Puma Karate from mid-elementary school (late '90s) through late high school ('09), and I earned a green belt with a black stripe. I could have gone further, but I got distracted and took a few years off and had to backtrack before leaving Simi for college. The years I spent here have made me confident that if I am forced into a combative defensive encounter, I will fair much better than I would if I hadn't spent years training. It's been years since I've taken a class, but the movements are still hardwired - I know how to correctly throw a punch and how to

I would give 10 stars, if possible. There are so many wonderful qualities to this program and the people that run it that Yelp would cut me off before I could finish.
First, patience: my son is a VERY head-strong 5-year-old. He challenges me on a minute-by-minute basis... Teresa and Karen, however, found a way to communicate effectively with him, quickly.
Second, respect: Teresa and Karen respect their students, thus, the students respect them. My children have also increased their showing of respect for me because of the respect required for participation at PUMA.
Third, perseverance: I
