What they say about us
Posted on Luciano DiTacchio2022-09-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sensei Armando and Champion Eyes are the best dojo I have ever had the fortune to come across. High quality does not begin to describe Sensei Armando and his dojo. For him, this is not a business but a way of life. Armando breathes and lives Karate. His passion for the art, his drive to maintain the highest standards in the way he teaches, his ability to inspire, and even him as a person are what makes this dojo a special one. When my kids attended, they were extremely happy and learned tons. My family had to move away from the area and I have to say that having to leave the dojo really hit hard. It is so very rare to find a dojo and a sensei as awesome as Armando.Posted on Matthew Rivas2022-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sensei Armando and his staff (specifically the one who teaches the kids class on Tuesdays and Thursdays) know what they’re doing. Nothing is fluffed up and you have to demonstrate your skills to move up levels. The dojo is clean and quiet and all feel welcome.Posted on Kristen P2022-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great focused classes that teaches your child to be confident and accomplish their small (finishing a move or finishing class) and large (getting a new belt) goals. Large dojo compared to any other dojo in Oceanside. They do a good job learning new skills each week. A little more expensive than other dojos in the area, but you definitely get your moneys worth in quality and ambiance. Sensei Armando really cares about your kids building strong character and he knows it’s not just built over night. I have seen him take some very wiggly distracted kids and turned them into kids that respect their teacher and dojo (as well as making them more respectful to their parents). My son has been coming here for just over a year and he has had a huge improvement in confidence, respect to others, and he is stronger. At the end of each class, each kid tells all the other kids individually that they did awesome - love this action of kindness.Posted on Lainie Davis2022-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very detail oriented and disciplined dojoPosted on trace Dolan2022-01-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sensei is a gifted Trainor. He is attentive, and really listens to me . about my goals, The Dojo is clean and has everything! I started at 55years old, and just 1 month, so far I am feeling and seeing changes and progress.Posted on Teresa Metcalf2021-11-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sensei Armando Anselmo and his team instilled discipline and dedication in my daughter at the young age of 4 years old. Champion Eyes Martial Arts Center made a huge impact on her, shaping her life direction to be confident and to succeed in everything that she does. I highly recommend Sensei Armando if you want your child (or yourself) to learn from THE BEST!Posted on Darcy Clevenger2021-04-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been with Champion Eyes since he was 6. He is now 15 and he is disciplined, dedicated, and goes 3 times a week. He has become more focused in the time he has been here and has more self confidence. He looks forward to every class. It's made a huge impact on his life. I do recommend.Posted on ed corn2021-04-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience for all ages! Sensei's Armando and Fidel are great instructors and seem to add something new in every class. The students are amazing people who always provide positive encouragement to each other. If you want to do something for yourself then you owe it to yourself to give it a try!Posted on Devin P2021-04-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband, both of my kids, and I all train here. It's like a second home to us. We have seen such growth in our kids as they have gained confidence and strength, and learned the importance of self-respect and respect for others. I started at the age of 40 and have loved the amazing sense of community, not to mention the empowerment I feel as a woman training in martial arts. Everyone is so supportive, and the instructors are among the best in the world.
