Rio de Los Angeles State Park is a California State Park along the Los Angeles River north of downtown Los Angeles in the neighborhood of Cypress Park. The 247acre park includes restored wetlands featuring native plants as well as sports fields, a children’s playground and a recreation building. Rio de Los Angeles State Park is currently managed in partnership with the City of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation.The park was built on a brownfield abandoned freight-switching facility called Taylor Yard used by the Union Pacific and later the Southern Pacific railroads from the 1920s until 1985. Ever since the Taylor Yard was abandoned in 1985 wildlife slowly began re-inhabiting the area now consisting of Rio de Los Angeles State Park. Through the 1980s, 1990s, and early-2000s the abandoned Taylor Yard served mainly as a dirt-track for motorcyclists and off-road enthusiasts and became locally known as "Camelback". In the early-2000s an effort was begun to transform the abandoned wasteland into a recreation area. The property was eventually purchased by the City of Los Angeles and was announced that the demolition of the abandoned train terminals would begin shortly. The rail-lines connecting the Taylor Yard to the Union Pacific Railroad were torn out, the corroding train terminals where trains once loaded and unloaded tons of freight were demolished, and the concrete on the ground was removed by hand. Toxic waste leftover from the work done at the Taylor Yard had to be systematically removed and treated before it would be deemed safe for public use by the city. After months of demolition and work done by conservationist groups, Rio de Los Angeles State Park was opened on April 21, 2007. It is located at 1900 San Fernando Road.

At The Reformation Station we believe feeling great in your body can be life changing and it starts here! Pilates is body weight training that builds lean muscle while stretching and aligning the entire body. The method strengthens and increases flexibility with low repetitions of precise exercises that begin by targeting the core skeletal muscles, then work outwards to engage each muscle group in the body. Pilates achieves balance and symmetry in the body by building strength in the weak spots and stretching out the tight spots. The result: standing taller, feeling stronger, and moving more freely through life!

Sifu/Guro Grody’s training began in Dao Dan Pai (also written Tao Ahn Pai), a traditional southern Chinese Taoist kung fu system, in 1973 under Share K. Lew, a Taoist Master from Canton, China. Along with traditional kung fu, Sifu Lew taught “chi gung,” internal breathing exercises that served as the basis for a healing system, “neigong qiliao.” From 1979 to 1992, Steve studied Jeet Kune Do and Filipino kali under Dan Inosanto and became his primary substitute instructor at the academy from 1985 to 1990. The Filipino curriculum under Inosanto included a combination of twenty-five Filipino martial arts systems including the LaCoste-Inosanto empty hand methods. Steve began training in Lameco Eskrima privately with Punong Guro (Head Instructor) Edgar Sulite from 1990 until his untimely death in 1997. Steve also directed several of Punong Guro Sulite’s martial arts training videos. Steve produced a public access television show on Century and Adelphia channels from 1989 to 2008. In September 2000, Steve was inducted as a “Master Instructor of the Year” by the International Martial Arts Hall of Fame, sponsored by the World Head of Family Sokeship Council.
