Testimonials

A very inspiring studio to train at, and a community of great people that I am proud to be a member of. Master Maria Turnhout and her staff are the best instructors in the entire LA region. They are all very knowledgeable, motivating, and compassionate. The thing I like the best is the balance they instill for all the students - body, mind and spirit all works together. This seems to really resonate with the kids, and I have seen some incredible results. Both my kids (one a black belt at 10 years, the other a bo black at 9 years) train there, as do I in Muay Thai Kickboxing. Can't recommend them highly enough."

Brilliant, challenging, inspiring, motivating and supportive teaching. It can change your life, as it did my 12 year old son's and my own. I recommend them as a way of life, and cannot express enough my profound gratitude for their guidance and their leadership on my son's journey to black belt."

My daughter and I have trained at KMA for over 3 years now. To see her growth (body, mind and spirit!) has been truly remarkable. Also, through martial arts training my mind is more integrated into my body and I am more confident and centered. The instructors are fun and positive and are incredible role models for my daughter and myself. In addition to having a challenging workout, I always feel inspired by Maria when I leave."

KMA is an extraordinary and exceptional martial arts facility. The instructors are absolutely amazing and extremely dedicated to bringing out the very best in each and every student. I have been doing Thai Kickboxing with KMA (since the summer of 2006), and as a result, I've lost 30 pounds and at 38 years old, I am in the best shape of my life (better than my twenties!). Thank you KMA for being such a positive influence in my life!"
