‘Ohana Martial Arts Center - Los Altos, California

We joined in September and love this studio for our two very active boys. Our kinder has earned his first belt and is excited for every class. Our 4th grader already had 3 belts from another studio, so he tested into the intermediate class. We prefer Ohana for the smaller class sizes and individualized attention. My husband has multiple black belts and comments on how Master Seth is skilled in keeping kids engaged and learning correct form. He approves 🙂 We're so happy this studio opened near our home.

Ohana Martial Arts Center is a new school opened up by Seth Weiler. As a former student of Instructor Seth at a different school for 6 years, I can vouch for his multitude of experience and knowledge in martial arts and teaching. Seth is the best martial arts teacher for people of all ages, because of his versatility and ability to create a fun atmosphere that you want to be a part of. He knows how to challenge each of his students by pushing them to their limits, while also making sure that trainings are fun and enjoyable.

On top of his classes, he’s also super friendly and personable. He makes sure he spends time to get to know each of his students. A lot of the lessons he teaches in class are also definitely translatable to real life—I still think of his lessons of character, discipline and mental fortitude that have set me up for success today, ten years later. Seth has years and years of experience in martial arts and teaching, so I would highly recommend anyone with any interest to give his new school a shot!

Trained with instructor Seth for 6 years between 5th grade and high school — hands down best experience I had as a kid. 10 years later I can still hear some of his lessons in my head. He makes things engaging so you don’t always notice when you’re getting pushed to the limit. Highly recommend for students of all ages!

I trained with Instructor Seth, when he worked for a different studio, from the time I was in elementary/early middle school until I was in high school. He not only made me like learning martial arts, but he helped me become a more confident and driven person. Each class wasn't just about honing technique, but also about building community with other classmates. In other words, it was super fun!! I left each class of creative and challenging activities feeling stronger and exhilarated. I'm so excited that he's now opened his own place!

It's been almost exactly 10 years since I stopped practicing tae kwon do, but he recently invited some past students over... I was shocked at how much I remembered, but even more grateful because of how encouraging and patient Instructor Seth was to meet me at the point where I currently am, fitness-wise, while still pushing me to strive for just a bit more! And it was just as fun and fulfilling as ever. 🙂

Seth has been instructing my daughter in Martial Arts for a few years now. He's definitely a fantastic teacher and my kid loves going to his classes. He's taught at other Martial Arts schools previously but this one is all his own

I’m so happy I found ‘Ohana Martial Arts Center! I’ve been thinking of putting my girls into taekwondo because I believe it’s an important life skill. One weekend, I happened to see ‘Ohana Martial Arts Center while in the plaza and saw the studio had recently opened. I contacted them to set up an introductory session for my older one. She took an immediate liking to it and will be testing for her first belt in a couple of weeks. When I asked her what she likes about Instructor Seth, she said, “He’s patient, kind, and funny. He corrects you when you’re doing something wrong without embarrassing you. Sometimes I feel nervous when I’m about to go in, but once I’m there I feel at peace. It’s a safe environment. This is a one of a kind place because he makes taekwondo fun.”

My younger one joined last month because it’s the soccer off-season. She enjoys it just as much. If you’re thinking about it, I highly recommend you checking it out!

I've had the privilege of being mentored by Master Seth Weiler, who has played a pivotal role in my Tae Kwon Do journey. Under his tutelage, I've received extensive training that has helped me learned martial arts, including forms, kicks, punches, and intricate techniques. Master Weiler's continuous support, both in his capacity as a mentor and instructor, has been invaluable, solidifying our bond as friends. I wholeheartedly recommend this studio for anyone seeking to learn Martial Arts.
