We are fortunate of having my son enrolled in a wonderful academic school. Next to his academic achievements, we were eager in locating the right Martial Arts school for him. After trying two different Martial Arts schools, we got introduced to Quest Martial Arts of Canoga Park over 6 years ago. Quest Martial Arts proved to be one of our best decisions that we, as parents, had made for paving the road to a brighter future for our son, Victor Nareg. We could not imagine our son excelling in his social skills, building a sound self esteem and excelling and improving his academic education without the input of Quest Martial Arts. Much gratitude, respect and admiration to the wonderful and knowledgeable Masters and Instructors of Quest Martial Arts. Youre not only skilled but also caring, unselfish and professional. Thank you for investing into Naregs bright future. We will never forget.

Weve been a part of this karate studio for 5 months now, for my 8 year old. I am really impressed with the teaching staff and curriculum. It really motivates the kids and is a no-pressure/fun atmosphere - all while teaching them discipline, life skills, self-defense, and improved physical strength. I recommend the studio to any parents I can, they are so great with kids. My child is naturally reserved and Ive seen a lot of growth in them since we started. Im sure they have a great adult program too, I only have experience with the kids program right now. Master Lawrence is a really nice guy and has a really great group of instructors at the Canoga studio.

My 7yr old daughter has been taking classes here 2x a week for a few weeks and she loves it! I wasn't sure how she would like it at first but from the very first day, she loved it and was so excited to break her first board and earn her first belt. Before we settled on Quest Martial Arts, we watched classes at some other studios and Quest was by far the best at connecting with the kids. The instructors are brilliant at engaging the kids and making it fun and exciting. Their exuberance is palpable and I'm often laughing while watching them teach the kids. They are also all very kind and treat everyone like part of their family. Even though my daughter has ADHD, their teaching style helps her stay engaged and focused. I love that they not only teach martial arts, but also life skills like facing challenges, dealing with strangers/bullying, being respectful, etc and they talk to the kids about how to handle various situations in life based on the lesson of the month such as Perseverance, Decisions, Optimism. Master Lawrence is friendly and bright and you get a clear sense of how experienced he is in how he instructs and how well his team instructs. Ms Bautista is a great office manager. She is so kind and organized. She is also adept at working with the kids. I saw her giving a child a one on one first belt test and she was so good at keeping the child encouraged even when they ran into challenges. Mr Rachid is excellent at connecting with the students. He is so good at making things humorous so the kids keep their focus on what he's teaching them. For example. when a kid needed to perform a kick to break a board, the first try, the board didn't break, but Mr Rachid quickly encouraged them by humorously pretending that they hurt his fingers because they kicked so hard but the kick was just a little off center and that they just needed to kick a little closer to center of the board on the next try. Ms Palacios, Ms Heard, and Ms Hana are all also fantastic at teaching with lots of energy and humor.
