"A fantastic school with fantastic students and staff. If you live in the L.A. area, any amount of traffic is worth it to arrive to Sifu Ryan Scott's dojo. His martial arts will change your life and I have trained for years with some of the senior students there! Very good man and teaches incredible techniques not only for your body but your life."

"This is a wonderful school. Great atmosphere, clean environment . The students are enthusiastic and helpful. And Sifu Scott is second to none. You will learn a lot about martial arts as well as how to live a more mindful life!!"

"If you want to find out who you are at your best--most compassionate, driven, calm (no, these are not in conflict), intentional, encouraging, open to pushing yourself through new challenges among partners with the same mindset--whether an experienced martial artist or a complete novice (or just looking for a super fun way to maintain or work toward physical fitness), Find.Your.Way.Here. You won’t regret it. Excellent teaching (all classes taught by the owner, Sifu Scott), so, not surprisingly, wonderfully caring students who make being an amazing partner a priority. Beautiful dojo in a great location. Children’s and adult classes. Tai chi -- I practiced years overseas in SouthEast Asia, absolutely loved it, and despaired that I would not find a tai chi practice here in the States that would be fulfilling; I found the classes here to be quite extraordinary and that they've brought my practice to a much deeper level. Kung Fu -- Best fun ever! And great for learning self-defense; practicing presence of mind; improving confidence, balance, strengthening, and coordination. Meditation -- Free Thursday night class open to all. Even if you've never tried meditation before, this a great way to try it out. Try them all! They play so well together!"

"The true value of a martial arts practice is how much you love it, whether it compels you to come back each day, and the ways it transforms all areas of your life. I get this, and more: From practicing strikes in Kihon, learning a new weapons form, helping a new student discover the physics of self defense, escaping a submission in grappling, re-charging my energy in Tai Chi, participating in kids class, and meditating. I see this from the students that come to class, who leave glowing (partly from sweat), and eyes shining. I see it in kids class, when they try extra hard, and invite their friends to join them. I wake up inspired every day, when I get to return to the dojo, and look forward to my next adventure."

"Sifu Scott is an incredible teacher! The students that attend the school are great partners no matter what size you are or what shape you are in athletically. We take classes with all adults but they have kids classes as well. Beyond learning to defend myself in rigorous classes that not only engage me physically but mentally, I have learned the benefits of meditation and have seen a positive change in myself and my life overall. If you are looking to get a great workout, feel inspired, learn to defend yourself while improving the quality of aspect of your life this is the place for you. I highly recommend it!"
