Bay Area Martial Arts Academy is a family-oriented institution that provides a supportive environment for individuals of all ages to learn martial arts. The academy's instructors, including Mr. Agoff, Maria, and Mike, teach valuable life lessons such as discipline, hard work, and self-defense techniques. Students learn various skills, including strength and stamina training, stick work, and different fighting forms. The academy emphasizes earning belts through dedication and hard work, rather than simply giving them out. Parents appreciate the positive impact the academy has had on their children, helping them develop social skills, confidence, and a strong work ethic. With its focus on the journey rather than the destination, Bay Area Martial Arts Academy is a gem of a place that nurtures its students and helps them grow into capable individuals.
My whole family has been going to Bay Area Martial Arts Academy for several years now and I have to say they are wonderful. So this review is definitely long overdue. Both my daughters have gained so much strength and discipline from the instructor (Mr Agoff). I love the life lessons he instills in them as well. The kids learn self defense, how to fall properly, stick work, different fighting forms, and the importance of training and hard work. They also work on strength and stamina and the belts are earned and not just given. Definitely lucky that we have this local gem so close to home. Also nice that my husband goes there too so the three of them can train together.
We brought our son to this classes. Before he was a shy boy and didn't like to interact much with people. This was a great environment for him to evolve his social skills. He learned so much from Maria and Mike great teachers that thought him not only how to defend himself, but also thought him discipline. We love this class. Great place for all ages very family oriented place.
My 15-yr-old daughter is devoted to Mike Agoff and Bay Area Martial Arts Academy. We enrolled her in 2nd grade after she kicked a boy in an unmentionable place and we decided it was time to channel that impulse more constructively. Since then, he has nurtured her to high Purple belt and shaped her outlook on life in countless ways. From Mike Agoff, she has learned about hard physical training, patience in reaching for goals, respect for authority, attention to detail, and camaraderie in learning, among so many other important life lessons. Mike Agoff emphasizes self defense and incorporates multiple disciplines into his teachings. He doesn't give belt promotions automatically...read full review
