“I have been training at Excel for about 2 years now and i got to say that i always have had a great experience on every single training. You always go back home knowing that i learned something new, had fun and released some steam. The Professors are all very knowledgeable and patient in teaching the gentle art. For anybody thinking in starting on learning a new martial art or keep going on your journey this is the place. They also teach boxing and mixed martial arts if interested. Fantastic place! ? ? ?“
“Love this gym! Whether you're a seasoned competitor or it's your first day on the mats, they provide a quality experience for everyone. Highly recommend.“

“This is a serious gym, however these trained fighters have done nothing but give their time to me to make me the best version of myself. Everyone went easy on me on my first week, and progressively challenged me as the weeks went on“
“Hidden gem of a school with world class instructors and real legends rolling through on a regular basis. I just can’t say enough about the positive influence this school has made in our lives. The instruction is top notch and we appreciate the support of the amazing Jiu-Jitsu family at Figueroa BJJ.“

“Our family has been part of An's Taekwondo community for 6 years and we recommend this studio so highly. Master An has created an environment where respect is shown to all students and instructors no matter their age, athleticism, or belt rank. Master An teaches with firm kindness and is incredibly adept at adapting his instruction to match the age and ability of his students. The entire community provides such a welcoming and supportive structure for all who practice taekwondo at this studio. Being a part of An's Taekwondo gave me so much comfort when our son left elementary and started middle school. My worries were assuaged after hearing Master An teach the kids confidence, resilience, reliance on each other, and trust in your mentors. I encourage all new, returning, and continuing students to attend a class at An's Taekwondo and see for yourself.“
“I was in Vista for work for a couple of weeks from Chicago & although I didn’t get to drop in to as many classes as I would’ve liked, it was a great experience. No crazy uniform requirements. No crazy SoCal drop in fees. Just the love of jiu jitsu with super nice & friendly training partners. No egos or attitudes, just high level jiu jitsu. A great experience for someone who had only been training for 6 months prior to my visit. Professors Mark & Martin are good guys who run a good gym. Next time I’m in the Vista office, I’ll be dropping in again. If you’re in the area you should check them out!“
“Our kids have thrived here! They love the classes and it has been so great for both of them. Helps with their coordination and confidence. Sensei Matt is funny, while also expecting them to be disciplined.“
“Best karate dojo in the area! Sensei Lopez and family are amazing! My kids have been taking lessons here for many years. We can’t say enough about how much they have gained and grown from learning here. Highly, highly recommend!“
“San Shi is a great Judo school. It teaches the traditional Judo and has many knowledgeable Black Belts. After stopping practicing in Brazil for almost 20 years as a brown belt I went back training at San Shi about 8 years ago and learned and improved so much and had the privilege to get promoted to the black belt. They are a non profit organization with the intention of promoting the art of Judo so the monthly dues are very low. It’s a great sport and a great place.“
“The best place in town for martial arts and a more individual approach. I take my son who is 6 now to Tim and Alex and we could not be happier. We have tried other martial arts studios in town and you can not compare. At Towey's you are in a small group with a lot of attention from your teacher. Unlike other overcrowded studios where lessons are thought by young kids. Tim and Alex are great teachers and are amazing with kids. We are truly lucky to have them in town! Their classes for adults are great too, so don't miss out.“
“Sensei Armando and Champion Eyes are the best dojo I have ever had the fortune to come across.High quality does not begin to describe Sensei Armando and his dojo. For him, this is not a business but a way of life. Armando breathes and lives Karate. His passion for the art, his drive to maintain the highest standards in the way he teaches, his ability to inspire, and even him as a person are what makes this dojo a special one.When my kids attended, they were extremely happy and learned tons. My family had to move away from the area and I have to say that having to leave the dojo really hit hard. It is so very rare to find a dojo and a sensei as awesome as Armando.“

“No monthly contracts! Woohoo! Great for kids and the price is right! The kiddos get 2 hours a week and the belts are $25 to test until they reach 10 years old then become $50 to test for their next rank. You are encouraged to find your own sparring gear and bring it to class! A few times a year there is 600-1000 pm for activities, a movie, and some pizza/snacks/drinks for about $20 per child. This place also offers a 20% sibling discount on monthly tuition. Children with special needs are encouraged to come also! Once in awhile there is a special weapon seminar that's a little extra to attend and includes the weapon of instruction! How cool is that?!“

“Martial Arts Concepts is an amazing studio. The atmosphere is so positive. Master Dan Paulson is a gifted instructor, who really knows how to teach and inspire. The black belts were kind, humble, and helpful. My son has taken classes there for four years, starting as a high school freshman. He has grown and changed so much during that time, gaining self-control, self-esteem (for learning new skills and surpassing his personal best, not because everyone gets a ribbon for showing up), respect for others, in addition to the martial arts skills that he learned. If he wasn't going off to college, he would still be going there. If you are looking for martial arts for boys or girls, this is a wonderful place to train.“
“I am so thankful that I found California Karate Academy, my daughter attends classes in the Vista studio, and all the instructors are extremely professional, passionate, helpful and friendly. My daughter looks forward to going to her classes every week and as a parent you really appreciate how they teach the kids about self awareness and respect and responsibility. They do an amazing job with reminding our kids that they don’t just need to show respect and responsibility in the studio with the instructors but also at home with parents and at school, everywhere and with everyone. My daughter Mia, remembers all the little lessons they talk about during class and I have seen a huge improvement at home. They have different times to choose from that works with busy schedules, they really value and notice our children’s potentials and push them to be great. I am thankful that Mia gets to train with strong women instructors that make her feel empowered and she gets to meet girls and boys of all ages that they all admire each others work and form friendships. Thank you CALIFORNIA KARATE ACADEMY!“
“Orion is great, specially for kids. They are taught about respect while learning martial arts in a fun atmosphere. My kids love it!“

“Great place for martial arts training! This studio teaches discipline and values as well as taekwondo and self defense. It may be more expensive than other studios, but worth the investment!“
