    Our 7 year old son started at KO Karate nearly one year ago.  We had our initial lesson w/ Mrs. Curran.  We immediately felt comfortable and reassured that our son was in good and knowledgeable hands.  The staff are really kind and want to make sure that KO students really LEARN their techniques; students do not easily earn stripes or test for new ranks.  The students have to work hard and truly understand and know their belt  material before progressing.   Students are able to learn at their pace, the studio is a great value as students can attend daily if they want.
     
    The teachers are all wonderful as are the Junior Instructors--Mrs. Curran, Mr. Curran, Mr. Ryan, Miss Schmidt and Mr. C each have a different, but effective approach to teaching their students.  These instructors ensure that the students are taught with respect, dignity and care--no matter the age of the student.   The instructors all have a passion for Bok Fu Do Kung Fu and it shows in how they teach.  This all comes from Master Ozuna's love for his studio and this art.  While busy, Master Ozuna makes himself available to chat and check in with KO families and is open to suggestions (e.g. adding classes on weekends to curb over-crowding) as they come up.

    This is a phenomenal Karate school, with phenomenal instructors.
    During this last year, my son has gained strength, balance, passion and confidence (areas he has struggled with).  We attribute it to KO and its teaching methods.  
     
    KO Karate also has birthday party packages.  We had one for my son, and he had a fantastic time!  I highly recommend it!  Mrs. Curran and the Junior Instructors created a memorable and fabulous party for my 7 year old son.

    KO continues to amaze us with the warmth and knowledge of their teachers and student helpers.  

    We recently held a birthday party for our son at KO.  We had 43 kids at the party and KO responded with a staff of twelve!  
    The staff provided the children with education on what to do in a "stranger danger" situation and then later put on a demonstration of the school's Bok Fu Do martial arts.  Kids and parents alike were awed.  Under Mrs. Curran's guidance, the staff took charge of the party and made us feel like royalty.

    I took sports kickboxing here for a few months and absolutely LOVED it.  The staff is friendly, amazingly attentive and give you great direction.  The classes are fun, energetic and kick your ass!  The class schedules worked perfectly with my schedule and the membership fees were affordable.  I was bummed to leave this place after moving to SF, but highly recommend it if your down in the South Bay.  

     Master John Ozuna and his staff are wonderful!!

    My son's been taking karate here since July 2007 and has done really well. I've been very impressed at how well they work with the kids. There is no pressure to move up the belt ranks quickly; every student moves at their own pace. There are plenty of instructors and teen helpers in each of the kids' classes to help all the students individually, and they are wonderfully patient with even the most hyper of kids.

    I highly recommend this karate studio for kids. Not sure about their adult instruction (I go to a different dojo for my own classes) but I love their enthusiasm.

    My five-year-old daughter started karate lessons at K-O in the summer and she absolutely loves them. They start students with three private lessons where they learn the traditions and the basics so when they start the group classes they fit right in. Ms. Curran was my daughter's private teacher and she is wonderful. The staff are all qualified, passionate and caring with all the kids, regardless of level.
