Ekata - Valencia, California

Corey Nathan

This is more than a gym. I mean, if you want pristinely kept equipment and access to expert trainers, Ekata is the best of the best. But there's so much more to offer from some of the most renowned martial arts teachers in the world to meditation classes to child care and so many other programs. Ekata is a wonderful resource for our overall health for the body and the mind!

This star isn't about the quality of the facility. It's about the owner Ed. Ed will only do what he wants and disregard parental concern. I witnessed multiple times where he talked down to staff and students. Unfortunately it drove the staff to quit and parents like ourselves to go elsewhere. What a shame. The staff and kids don't deserve to be treated with disrespect. Ed should be a silent owner and let a real manager run the business.

Update based on owners response: Clearly validating what I said. I am a parent who pulled my kid from your facility and you happily refunded us to go elsewhere. You were met with our concerns and instead of correcting them you said if we don't like it to go elsewhere. Like I said previously, stay silent and hire someone who knows how to manage.

Our family has been members for 3 years now. And I couldn’t be happier with the level of care, top-notch instruction and atmosphere of Ekata. The instructors have taken a genuine concern for my sons character development, not only their martial arts. I love the family atmosphere that is wholesome and warm. This is our home away from home.

A very special place in the heart of Santa Clarita. My sons ages 8, 9 & 13 have been training Jeet Kune Do martial arts here for about a year and a half and I have seen a tremendous change in their level of confidence and initiative as a whole. The classes reinforce what my husband and I try to instill in them at home...respect, focus, a sense of pride in everything they do, being active and overall being better versions of themselves in life. At Ekata, they train hard and give them tools to create a lifestyle that will carry on with them forever.

I see families who train marital arts here and take their lives a step further by nourishing their bodies through the many guided fitness activities offered and through mindful meditation. We practice meditation at home and to see it as an integral part here is a blessing.

Ekata is beyond the common gyms and training centers you see around. It really is a facility that focuses on centering yourself and grows into an extended family. Ekata encourages the mind to break through blocks and overcome limitations, slow down and breathe and be in the moment. Learning martial arts is the skill, but the life skills here is priceless.

If there ever was a place to become a part of, this is it. For your children. For yourself.

By far the best gym, martial arts classes, and training facility in town. I've been going here since May, and absolutely love it! Brand new, clean, high end fitness equipment.. beautiful interior design, and a State of the art body composition testing machine.

I really enjoy their focus on Mindfulness. From their meditation room, to the way they structure their classes.

Love it, and will continue to come here for a long time! 🙂

PS
There are a LOT of different classes and services here.. different martial arts, yoga, Aerial Silks, voice lessons, and massage rooms. A truly well rounded facility!

My children both go here for the after school program and for their camps for summer, winter and spring. They're always treated with respect and they love it. They get to learn important self defense as well homework help. They've made great friends there and always have a wonderful time.

I really Enjoy coming here every chance i get.

The Best training, health and martial arts facility and trainers team in Santa Clarita. Ekata approaches fitness and health not only from the body point of view but from a holistic mindful approach of body and mind including eating habits.

They offer programs for children as young as 5 including after school activities, and obviously programs for adults too, all designed appropriately to each individual. I've been training at Ekata for a year and If someone would have asked me before I would be doing martial arts now almost every day, I wouldn't have believe it. I've never been in better shape than now, and I was going to a regular gym before. My son joined 2 1/2 years ago and he's not only doing great in his physical abilities, but his attitude and social skills have improved a lot.

Members can take many classes and programs available including martial arts which is not only Jet Kune Do (JKD) but also Savate, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing and some others incorporated into JKD like Wing Chun and self defense techniques. I couldn't be happier with my progress in terms of endurance, fitness and physical abilities. I recommend Ekata to anyone that really want to improve their health and physical condition.
