CKD Academy of Martial Arts 1778 South Broadway, Santa Maria, CA 93454

"My kids have gone here for about 3 years. The Senseis are wonderful people who genuinely care about the kids and training them; not only in self defense, but as a whole person. I have noticed huge improvements in my kids' self-discipline, work ethic, manners, and higher self esteem. We look forward to being part of the CKD family for years to come!"

"My son has been going to CKD for about 10 years now and I can't say enough about how great it has been for him. He has learned so much from both Sensei Travis and Sensei Heather and I appreciate how they have always been there to help my son, who is currently working towards his brown belt! I feel they go above and beyond any other place with providing kids extra practice with Open Dojo Saturday's and giving us parent's a break (and the kids have so much fun) with Parent's Night Out. If you are looking for a dojo for your child to learn , have fun, and feel safe knowing they are in very good hands, CKD Academy of Martial Arts is that place. As a side note, both Sensei's have learned their craft from Grandmaster Marx and the stories they share are really cool to hear."

"We've been attending CKD for several years for both our boys! We love them and they are always so helpful. My oldest also has attended a few tournaments. They've helped both kids become better listeners and taught them patience. Thank you Travis and Heather."

"CKD has been so great for my two kids! They love it! Sensei Heather and Sensei Travis set such a great example of discipline and respect. I think it’s so great my kids have someone other than me (their parent) reinforcing how important manners and discipline are! Thank you CKD for being positive role models!"

"My children have been attending CKD for almost 4 years now. They have learned self-defense, confidence, respect and appreciation for martial arts. Sensei Travis and Sensei Heather are professional, kind and provide an amazing atmosphere to learn. I highly recommend their dojo to any family in our area!"
