LA Combatives Group

This place is fantastic!!! I was searching for a martial arts school that practices JKD and Wing Chun and I found La Combatives Group! Steve and Raffi do a wonderful job breaking down the martial art styles into basics steps so one can learn the moves quicker. It’s a great place to learn self-​defense, builds your confidence and overall it’s a great workout!

I have been practicing martial arts for 28 years and have 4 black belts. I trained in numerous arts such as: Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, Chung Kuk Do, Kaihewalu Lua, Jujitsu, Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, kickboxing, Muy Thai and probably a few others. My point in writing all that is simple, I’ve been around and know quality martial arts. Steve and Raffi have trained under some of the worlds best instructors and are both excellent martial arts practitioners. They both share a love for what they teach, not to mention they are great at it. In their classes you will be learning Kali (escrima), Jun Fan, Boxing and Silat (my favorite). The form of Silat that is being taught requires consistent training to build muscle memory and before you know it you will be amazed with what you can do.
If you are looking for a true martial arts experience and want to learn an art that you can grow old doing, look no further. One more word of advice: BE PATIENT! This art takes a little time to become 2^nd nature, but it is beyond worth the time.

Highly recommended!
This class is a great! I have been training there for 8 months and I love it.
The systems we are taught are both effective and fun.
A great way to spend a Saturday morning!

Hooray LA Combatives has a Unilocal page! :)
As I have mentioned in my previous review (under «Fitness is Art») this has been the most rewarding class, well group actually, that I have ever trained with. I also can’t believe how blessed I am to have instructors like Steve and Raffi. I not only admire them for their years of martial arts experience and training, but they are wonderful instructors who are caring and will take the time to teach students how to execute techniques effectively. Also these instructors are one of the very few martial artists I know who focus on traditional martial arts and self defense. The curriculum shown at this school is great for a beginner and even an experienced martial artist. I myself learned techniques which I thought I had already known but was shown in a different light.
Before I came to LA Combatives I was trying to find my martial arts path once I realized I didn’t get what I really wanted out of the other places where I have trained at. I was looking for a system that emphasized self defense and I have truly found this at LA Combatives Group.
So go ahead and challenge yourself. I will even hold the focus mitts for you when you come in :)
