Reviews of School of Martial Arts-West LA

As a student of martial arts for over 20 years I have had the opportunity to visit many schools, but by far The School of Martial Arts-West LA provides one of the best overall experiences I have had. The students are immersed not only in a positive/safe learning environment due to their "partners not opponents" foundation but also an environment that is welcoming and friendly to everyone who walks through the door. As each student is greeted by name by the staff, which is quite rare to see in most schools. Also the fusion of traditional and modern martial arts mixed with a logical and scientific approach to the techniques taught, helps make what the students are learning to be the most practical and efficient form of self-defense. What I feel also separates this school from the rest is that Sifu Ryan Scott, the owner and head instructor teaches ALL of the classes from the 6-8 yrs. to the adult martial arts class every day. In my experience the owner of most martial arts schools rarely teach any of the classes especially the young kids, most seem to teach only the advanced adult classes if any at all. So if you’re in the area and looking for a great place to practice kids or adults you should go in and see what I'm talking about, you will not be disappointed.
