My first interaction with 5150 came at a high school track, where I saw students and parents running around the track working out together. As a parent that wanted to enroll my kids in a martial arts school, I immediately liked how involved the parents were with their children's training. Soon afterwards, not only have we enrolled the kids, but my wife and I are members of the school as well. Professor O'Keefe and Sensei Shapiro are great teachers, they have incredible patience with the kids and the are encouraging. But I also like how they are firm and demanding as well. While they're able to keep the kids motivated with encouragement and fun, they also don't allow fooling around to get out of hand. As a member of the adult class, I feel like I am constantly pushed to get better, and I leave each class looking forward to the next one, even as I am exhausted from the intense workout. My family and I are currently in the kickboxing and self defense classes, but look forward to starting Jiu Jitsu too. If you're looking for a fun, safe environment for you family to learn self defense and martial arts, 5150 is the place the be. The community here is great, and the higher ranking belts are really helpful to those of us that are just starting out. There is a sense of family and friendship here, and we're happy to be a part of it.

It's been almost 20 years when I first walked in this dojo and met the most amazing group of instructors and classmates! I'm proud to be a part of this academy for all these years and years to come!! Thank you Shihan O'Keefe, Sensei Shapiro and Sensei Alvarez for making 5150 THE PLACE to train, to learn, to meet great people, to earn your black belt but most of all a really fun place to be.. not only for the young ones but also for the young once. Every time I come to class I make me happy and I will continue to do so along with my boys!! Thank you.

My family's journey at 5150 Martial Arts began a little over a year ago when my son expressed his desire to take karate classes. After his first few classes he was hooked and I soon followed. I started training in the adult kickboxing classes not too long after him and I have not been the same person since. It's an amazing place that first and foremost makes you feel like family. That combined with fantastic, knowledgeable and encouraging instructors enabled me to see glimpses of my confidence coming back. The relationships I have built there are irreplaceable and I am forever grateful for that as well. My son always strives to do his best and this dojo has always encouraged and enabled him to do that both on the mat and in the other sports he participates in. He's thrilled and proud that this is something we do together and as a mother, that unique feeling of having a child that is as proud of you as you are of them is something I always carry with me. I cannot say enough great things about 5150. Their heart and dedication to Martial Arts is clearly demonstrated in all the smiles of their students.
