They demand "respect" from their students, and have a great rapport with the kids. It is fun to watch the kids progress in their self-defense and listening skills. Definitely would recommend this studio to any parents wanting to introduce their kids to karate and reinforce principles of discipline and respect. read less

Master Ercolono sets an amazing tone - he strikes a wonderful balance of kind, focused, playful and firm. We've been to other studios where I've disliked the harsh, critical tone the instructors use with the kids. The instructors here all have the kid's attention but without ever being cruel.
My child struggles at school in PE and feels inept. Respect Martial Arts has given her tremendous confidence and boosted her self image. The staff encourage her to try new things even when she's nervous.
I think a distinguishing factor at this studio is the focus on character. There is a lot of conversation about how we have self respect and respect for others. Lots of life lessons! read less

Master Ercolono has been the main influence in the instruction of my children for almost 2 years. We find him to command respect from his students without intimidation, but instead with humor and an obvious abundance of experience in Tang Soo Do as well as other forms of Karate.
My children have only the greatest respect for Master Ercolono and all of his other Blackbelt Instructors.
In addition, he is able to maintain a “community/family” relationship with his students and their families.
I highly recommend Agoura Karate. read less
