★★★★★ — Shannon, May 2025

I was searching for self-defense classes for my niece and I. Many martial arts studios only offered regular martial arts classes. I found Level 3 Martial Arts Performance and spoke with Eric. His studio offered exactly what I was looking for, which was one-on-one training specifically tailored for protection.

★★★★★ — Tina, Apr 2023

There is a special positive vibe in this place. My son of 5 yrs old really likes the classes here. I personally like it be because I think it places good emphasis on focus, discipline and fitness in a way that is fun for the children.

★★★★★ — Koroush, Dec 2021

My son started karate with Sensei Eric Perlman at Level 3 Martial Arts Performance in Moorpark. Sensei Eric has been absolutely wonderful to work with. My son was very nervous about martial arts after his previous experiences. In a short time, he has developed confidence, self control, and is excited to attend class.

New to kickboxing? Start at Level 3 Martial Arts Performance - Kempo Kickboxing Jiu-Jitsu

Level 3 Martial Arts Performance - Kempo Kickboxing Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first kickboxing class at Level 3 Martial Arts Performance - Kempo Kickboxing Jiu-Jitsu

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
