From the reviews
Both of my kids (ages 8 and 10) have been going to OC Training Studios (formerly Well Rounded Heroes) and are really enjoying it. Master Adam Zax and his staff have all been fantastic.
We’ve been in the Villari martial arts system for a very long time. I trained under Master Bombelier and Master Zax and got my first degree black belt and am thrilled to now bring daughter here to learn self defense (she’s currently a yellow belt and advancing quickly under their training).
I’ve been training with Master Zax for a year now, and reaching my purple belt has been such a rewarding journey. What makes this dojo special isn't just the technique—it’s the environment.

Your first Karate class at OC Training Studio
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
