Upstander Kids Anti-Bullying Camp

Great experience every single time! My daughter loves it. So important to learn how to set boundaries and respect others’ boundaries. Plus it’s Martial Arts!

My son had a blast at camp! Alonzo, the camp master, is just amazing. He's so dedicated, caring, certified, and super capable. My son had a beneficial time during the two weeks at camp this summer, and it really boosted his skills, fitness, meditation power, and self-belief. He left the camp with real techniques that as well tailored for kids by showing compassion to others. We wish we could have stayed for another week. Thanks a lot, Master Alonzo !! We will definitely join every summer.

My son absolutely loved his experience with this camp. He learned anti bullying techniques but also how to play chess, rock climbing, and even broke a board with his bare hands. This camp gave him the confidence and techniques that will stick with him. I highly recommend it to help kids build their self esteem. Master Alonzo is amazing with the kids. Thank you so much for a wonderful spring break.

My daughter loves Upstander and Master Alonzo. I appreciate his background in child development and teaching. He is clear and firm with love and compassion. My daughter always comes home showing me new things she learned and feeling really confident in herself. Def recommend!

Highly recommend this camp. Master Alonzo is so great with kids -- wish all kids were required to attend this. He also has great martial arts classes through the year!

This is wonderful program with kids learning valuable life lessons/morals and being empowered.

The instructor was late every day and the pupils were instructed to wait at the pizza place until he arrived. I would have given it a pass, but the camp never opened on time the whole week my son went. I was late to work waiting for Richard. My son had fun, but for $450/week and an additional $10 bucks a day for pizza lunch, one would think they were paying for a level of professionalism that I did not witness.

My son has attended several summer and winter camp sessions and we are both big fans of the program. Perfect for kids with zero martial arts experience but are maybe interested in picking up some moves. My son is on his way to a purple belt now!

Alonzo Martial Arts has been a godsend for my son who lacks confidence and was subject to some hitting at school. He is now more confident and stands up for himself a little more! Thanks Master Alonzo!

Master Alonzo is so great with the kids. This is the perfect environment to work on self confidence, social skills and physical skills. Highly recommend to anyone considering!

My son attends and has enjoyed it. The positive experience has improved his self confidence.

Alonzo Martial Arts in Los Angeles is truly a gem when it comes to offering top-notch martial arts training, especially for kids. As someone who has been fortunate enough to attend their Upstander Kids Anti-Bullying Camp, I can confidently say that this is an experience that every child should have.

From the moment I walked into the camp, I was struck by the level of professionalism and attention to detail that was evident. The instructors were friendly and approachable, but also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in their craft. I immediately felt at ease and confident that I was in good hands.
Throughout the camp, we learned a wide range of martial arts techniques that were specifically designed to help us defend ourselves against bullies and other potential threats. The instructors were incredibly patient and encouraging, taking the time to explain each technique in detail and ensuring that we all understood how to execute them properly.
But what really stood out to me was the emphasis that was placed on being an upstander. Rather than simply teaching us how to fight back, the instructors taught us how to be leaders in our communities and stand up for what is right. We learned about the power of empathy, active listening, and effective communication, and were encouraged to use these skills to diffuse potentially volatile situations before they escalated.

The camp was incredibly well-organized, with a well-thought-out curriculum and a great balance of physical activity and mental engagement. The instructors clearly put a lot of effort into creating an environment that was both challenging and fun, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about each and every one of us.
Overall, I can't recommend Alonzo Martial Arts and their Upstander Kids Anti-Bullying Camp highly enough. Whether your child is interested in martial arts specifically or simply looking to build confidence and learn valuable life skills, this is an experience that will have a lasting impact. The instructors are top-notch, the curriculum is comprehensive and engaging, and the environment is safe, supportive, and inclusive. If you're looking for a way to help your child become an upstander and stand up to bullying, this is definitely the place to be.

My daughter has attended Anti-Bullying Camp for a couple of years now. She returns home each time smiling! She absolutely loves this camp. This camp is very special as it balances discipline, fun, learning, socializing and plenty of exericise. This camp is so important for all children and I am so pleased we have a place where my daughter feels at home. Many lessons learned and friendships made.
Thank you Master Alonzo for creating a space where all children are respected, encouraged and taught discipline in such a healthy and balanced way.

Master Alonzo has a gift for teaching kids in the art of self defense. His knack for connecting with children is bar none and incredible to watch in person. He does real life scenarios to help kids deal with bullies or anyone bothering them and teaching the kids to stand up for themselves, speak loudly and defend themselves in a firm way. a MUST for any parent with a child in the vulnerable years of school. There is a reason why Master Alonzo's studio has 5 stars on yelp, review after review. Highly recommended.

The camp is great. Both my kids loved it and they ended up going back another week. I would recommend Master Alonzo and his dojo to anyone looking to send their kids to camp.

老师真的特别特别好！孩子们说明年暑假还要跟老师学习！孩子每天都过的特别开心，期待每天去上学
The teacher is really special! The children explained that they should learn from the teacher during the summer vacation! Children are very happy every day and look forward to going to school every day.

We loved The AntiBullying Summer Camp. My son learned so many cool techniques and he is more confident. He came home every day with a big smile on his face. Thank you Mr. Alonzo!!

My daughter was not so sure about a Martial Art camp but once she met Alonzo I knew she would feel comfortable. The second day, she was so excited for camp. Mr. Alonzo makes martial art a breeze and super fun for the kids. Not only he is a master in his sport but he knows how to talk and understands each child and how to ensure they have fun while using discipline. We feel very lucky and grateful to have met him and we will definitely do other classes or camp again.
