Instinctive Combat Arts - Yuba City, California

Our son Manuel began attending classes with Instinctive Combat Arts approximately 6 months ago and we couldn't be happier with the skills he has acquired in such a short time, he has built self confidence and looks forward at each class to learn new techniques/skills. Sensei Ray is extremely patient, personable, and his dedication to helping the kids learn the art of Kenpo Karate is remarkable. We are very proud of our son for being willing to try something new, and we thank Instinctive Combat Arts for allowing our son the opportunity to develop a passion for Kenpo Karate!

I went in and was immediately told by the instructor "I can't help you. You should try somewhere else."
"I'm not a bad person you know. I have alot of anger and stress in my life and I'm looking to find a healthy and productive way to deal with it. I'm not looking for lessons on how to hurt someone, I'm not that kind of person." I said.
"Like I said this isn't for you so you should go."
I left feeling humiliated and embarrassed also angry at myself for being vulnerable just to be shot down instantly for no reason.
I would never recommend this place to anyone nor will I ever go back.

I wanted my daughter to take martial arts. A very close family friend is a Kenpo Karate master but lives too far away. I asked him to research schools in my area. ICA was the only one he recommended. We’re very happy with this school. Great family centered environment.
Highly recommended

My son is really enjoying his kenpo class. The Sensei is very intuitive to the needs of the individual; my son is on the autism spectrum and this class is good for his confidence, and although he's a bit behind for his age, he keeps up with the class relatively well. With this class I am hoping that my son can further develop discipline as well as confidence. I would recommend instinctive-combat-arts to everyone😊

My son has been training here for about two years and just LOVES it! It is family owned so we feel like part of a group instead of just another kid taking a karate class. The classes are smaller and more intimate than some of the bigger places in this area. We had tried a few other classes before, but he didn't really ever like them.

I have also taken a group of my employees here for a corporate team building and we all had a blast. Definitely check them out!

Instinctive Combat Arts is an excellent martial arts studio. I have been a student here for over 2 years. The training in American Kenpo and Knife and stick are top notch. Sensei Ray knows his stuff and adjusts to your own capabilities and strengths. If you are looking for reality based martial arts Instinctive Combat Arts is for you.

Instinctive Combat Arts is amazing. Sensei Ray is very knowledgeable and patient with all of his students. The Kadoni’s are all very nice and make everyone feel like they are family.

Sensei Ray Kodani and his family are doing big things in this community. His humble personality and amazing character truly reflect his Martial Arts journey and its an honor to see him pass it on to his students. Truly an awesome guy and some one who I have the privelage to call a Kenpo Brother.
