"Master Lacombe teaches more than martial arts. He teaches life lessons. Master Lacombe is one of the best instructors I've ever met."

"Wonderful high quality approach to Martial Arts education for children. My son and daughter are both enrolled and I've been so impressed with the thoughtful approach by Master Lacombe and all of the teachers. I love the focus on a healthy mental and physical self, life skills and really fun classes and community. Our kids love it and we as parents love it. Highly recommend!"

"Master Roger Lacombe is a really good instructor and mentor. I have known him since 1980. He teaches discipline, social skills, self confidence and loyalty towards oneself as well as others. The profound depth of his compassion and understanding is of great magnitude. I am sincerely honest, I am one of his first black belts. I also have a right hemiparesis which is a weakening and stiffness on the right side of my body. It is considered a mild form of cerebral palsy. I am strong and confident, Master Lacombe instilled in me strength, perseverance, loyalty, confidence, and a positive outlook on life! He also teaches that the martial arts is strictly for self-defense as a last resort... So if one can walk away from a fight that would be the first resort. A good martial artist takes responsibility for his or her actions, and accepts the consequences! There are good and bad consequences based on our choices. Master Lacombe takes enormous pride in working with each of his students."

"I've been a student of Master Roger Lacombe for approx 8 mos now. From the first day I entered his studio, I knew I would be getting the best quality instruction far and wide in terms of self defense, physical training and conditioning. Master Lacombe combines both traditional martial arts and Krav Maga into his lessons, both of which compliment each other for any real life situation you may find yourself in. Every lesson is both challenging, and rewarding. You'll be working with students young and old, beginner and advanced, always helping each other to be the best they can be. Lacombe grew up in the San Fernando Valley in a very exciting time for martial arts. He has studied with legends from various disciplines, many of which are now in the hall of fame...including himself! Both my kids studied under Roger and received their black belts in the early 2000s. It took time, they really had to earn the black belt. But going through the process, they were always encouraged, challenged, motivated, inspired and always in a disciplined and positive environment. If you are athletically inclined or a couch potato looking to make a life change, it doesn't matter, trust this master."
