Way Of Orient Martial Arts, Ventura CA

There's genuine heart and commitment in this school.
The people makes it worth it!

Great for exercise, fun for kids and adults. Wonderful instructors make learning martial arts fun.

I have been training here since November of 2019, and I can say that you would be hard pressed to find a better training environment than Way of Orient. All of the students and instructors are friendly, easy going, and supportive, and Master Adelman takes a practical, no-nonsense approach to teaching martial arts. If you wish to learn martial arts, be it for sport, self defense, personal growth, or just a good workout, I cannot recommend enough that you sign up for classes at Way of Orient.

Ventura Krav’s Master Rob is an excellent instructor and he brings a high level of excitement and energy to his classes. No only is he highly experienced (dude can kick clear over your head, no joke), you can tell he genuinely cares about his students confidence, safety, and well being.

This martial arts studio is amazing.from the first day you can tell how much Master Alderman and his instructors really care about their students and helping them to succeed. I brought my daughter here from another studio and the difference is astounding she receives personal one-on-one instruction every instructor knows her name and is actually interested in watching her succeed in martial arts and in life.my child is the most precious and important thing in my life I'm proud to have her part of this organization I honestly cannot speak highly enough how about the professionalism caring and integrity of this studio

Very positive and kind instructor, in depth explanations of movements, very knowledgeable and experienced

Mr. A is the most humble, hard working martial arts example your child could encounter. My son had the opportunity to work with him while on a team for his test. Mr. A treated everyone with kindness and was a great model of respect. It is a great opportunity to have a chance to work with him or his staff.

I've been going here for a year and a half and dont think I could find more dedicated and passionate instructors than Master Adelman, and Mr. Chuck. It is evident in every class that they care about the students and the martial arts. This studio does an excellent job of fostering discipline, confidence, accountability, respect, and a desire for success, and does an excellent job with special needs students. Success is celebrated, failure is overcome, and when you make a mistake you are taught how to correct it. I hope I never have to move out of town because I dont think a better studio exists.

Master Adelman and Mr Chuck are teachers who want you to succeed, who will push you to work hard and improve yourself.and have loads of fun doing it! As teachers they are approachable for concerns, point out mistakes without sugarcoating but with compassion in spirit of improvement, and generously affirm improvement and hard work. Absolute role models who love what they do.
This school is my happy place, because the students all support and encourage each other. I leave my worries at the door and just put out to improve and have fun.
We train for every purpose of martial arts: defense, discipline, fitness, coordination, balance and confidence. The whole package. Come try a class free- you won't regret it.
