Garbage instructor, scam artists. Takes advantage of automated payment system and makes excuses like a crackhead never returning scammed payments. Look elsewhere terrible example for youth. Zero stars. BUYER BEWARE

I've known this family for years and consider them my family. You won't find a better system, a better school and you'll never find a better teacher/mentor than GL.
Your whole family can benefit from classes with GL. Your kids will gain confidence, respect and receive world class instruction. In a world full of Kardashians, negativity and terrible influences for your kids, give them something positive and surround them with an amazing group of people.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Lelly L.Clovis, CA2454Oct 4, 2020
Poorly ran business, terrible communication. Enrolled my daughter in classes , was told to give a 30 notice when planned on quitting because payment were set up on automatic billing. Gave a 5 week notice and she didn't attend the final 2 weeks. I was still billed the following month. When I tried to discuss this issues the instructor acted as if his phone was broken and eventually after numerous attempts I was told she would have credit if she ever decided to return, that is terrible business in any establishment let alone one teaching kids. Beware of this guy is a scam artist and use caution when enrolling in auto pay. Anyone with similar instances here please contact me.

My two daughters have been getting instruction here for the past year. The respect, discipline and moral values taught here are worth more than their weight in gold. Oh yeah, they also have been taught to defend themselves and to have the confidence and forethought to get out of a bad situation. Please let this review answer any question about enrolling yourself or your kids. Thank you Graham for creating such a fantastic environment.

My boys have participated in GL Kenpo for over 3 years and everytime I walk through the doors there is a welcoming, family atmosphere. Graham and his instructors take each of their students and really take the time to get to know them and help them to make sure they know what they are doing and why they are doing it. I wouldn't choose any other place to bring my boys and am willing to drive a ways to be apart of this amazing Kenpo family.

Graham Lelliott Kenpo! In Clovis California we enjoy a world renowned Kenpo Master. This Brit has schools of Karate dotted around the globe that call on him and depend on his knowledge base to advance their programs and ranks. Graham himself is on the mat with our kids giving instruction daily. He explains the physics behind the techniques like no other. Could it get any better than this?

After searching for years trying to find a great place to train, I came across this school. Hands down Graham Lelliot is one of the best instructors around. We are very fortunate to have such a high level Internationally renowned instructor in our area. You can tell a lot about an instructor just based on the environment in their school, GL Kenpo is a very warm and welcoming place with great training and no ego's! Take advantage of this hidden gem.

My daughter has been attending GL Kenpo for 15 months now. The owners and staff are amazingly knowledgeable, kind, and supportive.
My daughters form has improved 100% from when she started. The school participates in tournaments all over the state and the owners are invested in their students. They show up to every event that they advertise to their school and are always dedicated in cheering their students on.
If you want an amazing environment where your child's safety, self esteem, leadership skills, and general well being are the priority. GL Kenpo is the place to be!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - George A.Chowchilla, CA0434Sep 27, 2015
I will repeat all the rest of the posting on how incredible this place really is.
Graham and his staff ALWAYS have the kid's best interests in mind, and work very hard to make sure EVERY child gets what they need to grow and test themselves. No two children are the same, and this place understands this perfectly. Your child will grow and work hard here.
My son has attended for four years, and loves every session. This is the best kept secret in the Fresno/Clovis area as they put all their efforts into the teaching not marketing and sales plans. It is a masterful place taught by REAL Karate masters.
Thanks Graham and his teaching family for all you do!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Bianca L.Fresno, CA30101Sep 9, 2012
I love this place! I used to do my Cardio Kickboxing here all the time!! Unfortunately my stupid car broke down and I was Carless for 4 months or so and couldn't make it anymore... But I would go all the way across town just to go here! Graham is a sweet heart and is soooo tough! He pushes you and motivates you and is super nice mean while. I love the music they play during cardio kickboxing. God I miss it... As soon as I get a new car I want to join again. They are veryyyy reasonable with money too. Highly recommend this place! I even tried a few of their kenpo classes to! Graham is an amazing teacher for sure!
