Phoenix Rising Institute of Martial Arts 81 Moraga Way, Orinda, CA 94563

"Great place to be. The teacher is a little hard, but he likes to crack jokes. P.S. ari is raging p.p.s if you don't know who ari is, he got put into an easier class from the one that he was in because he was misbehaving. he then left the studio because he was mad that he got demoted. he was really angry about it lol"

"Today I took some children who sometimes I attend as babysitter and I said to myself "I like this place to recommend it" It is excellent way in which the instructor directs the class"

"LMAS is great! Overall, the studio provides a positive space for exercising, gaining confidence and learning martial arts. The instructors are encouraging and highly skilled at teaching Taekwondo. My two children and I have been with the studio for five years now and enjoy regularly learning and practicing the sport."

"My kids were active in LMAS from pre-school into their teens. We were immediately impressed with the instructors. We realized early on though, that in addition to the physical skills, the instructors reinforce the same values we try to instill in our kids. Mr. Drath, Mr. Gurung and the other instructors are just as fantastic working with 4-year-olds as they are working with teenagers and adults. They work to improve the skills of each student and as a parent, I appreciate that as each of my kids have different needs. I can't recommend Mr. Drath and Lamorinda Martial Arts Studio highly enough!!"

"great teacher little hard but you get used to him really worth it."
