Wee Kick & Afterschool Enrichment

Our Mission is to have a positive effect on the future, One Child at a Time.  We do this in our Enrichment Classes by maintaining the integrity of the training process without compromising the individual growth potential of each student.  We reward high standards of behavior and encourage academic excellence in our students.  We treat each student as a unique individual in pursuit of goals that require effective self-discipline in order to achieve.  We include parents in the training plans and actively update them on the progress of their children. When necessary, we provide study materials so that parents can be intimately involved in their child’s progress.  We promote values like Integrity as a Rule, not an exception. Master Alonzo / Sensei Richard  brings nearly 30 years of experience in martial arts, including nearly 20 years of real-world experience teaching children in California’s inner cities. 

An additional background in Early Childhood Development helps make him an exceptional teacher of children.  He sees the time he spends with each student as an opportunity to teach children how to Respect one another, their parents and teachers, and most of all, themselves.  He believes that the “Dojo Mentality” of Respect and Focus that kids learn and practice during a martial arts lesson should follow them wherever they go.We Continually Strive to Build Strong Character in Young People through strict martial arts training because “The Greatest Gift We Can Give to Young People is the Unwavering Belief in Themselves.”  Dojo2go.com Enrichment Classes are currently availabile at El Marino Language School, Linwood E. Howe Elementary, and Farragut Elementary School in Culver City, the Curtis School in Los Angeles, at New World Montessori School in West L.A., and at the Palisades/Malibu YMCA.  Our Kindergarten P.E. Program, aka Wee Kick Program currently hosts kids from Hill & Dale Family Learning Center in Santa Monica.

Playdate Lessons

Few activities promote the “unwavering belief” in oneself as effectively and efficiently as martial arts training can.  In fact, in a Carleton University study found that children in martial arts have:  lower levels of anxiety,  higher sense of self-esteem,  an increased sense of responsibility,  a decreased willingness to take foolish risks, and higher levels of social intelligence.  Parents of martial arts-trained kids also report a decrease in shyness, better focus & concentration in school, and better physical fitness.  Such are the results for kids in group classes.  When martial arts lessons are done in smaller playdate settings among close friends, the growth in these benefits can be more immediate and more profound.  Martial Arts Lessons are also a unique physical education option for Homeschoolers!

Child Safety Seminars & School Fundraisers

Dojo2go.com and Alonzo Martial Arts believes that the Safety and Security of Children should never be underestimated.  We incorporate Child Safety Tips whenever possible during PlayDate Lessons, Afterschool Classes, and Karate Birthday Parties.  We believe that informed and empowered kids are the safest kids.  We also offer Seminars in Child Safety, with Workshops in Stranger Danger and Anti-Bullying.  We would be honored to come to your Child’s Class or School to address these very serious issues and concerns in a FUN and thought provoking Hour!
