Martial Arts Schools near Brentwood

“Traditional Okinawan Shobayashi Shorin-ryu karate for all ages with 60+ years experience. If you're like us, when looking for a martial art for our then-7 & 8 year olds, all those accolades sound just fine but until you know, you hear the same from everyone ?‍♀️ We yhiught to ourselves, "is "traditional Okinawan Shobayashi Shorin-ryu karate" really THE BEST for my kids?" The short answer was that that was not why we chose Tosh Karate Academy, although a case could easily be made to persuade someone that...We chose Tosh for (1) affordability: all 4 of us (adults, too) can afford to train for LESS than what other places would cost just for the 2 kids!;(2) EXCELLENT ratio of teachers to students -- consistently 3-5 teachers (all black belt and higher) for each class we've been to;(3) discipline of the dojo following rules of respect and tradition with WHY always being explained for every move and every tradition;(4) all ages (except KinderKarate) and belt levels train together;(5) atmosphere is focused on learning and humility, not on tournaments and trophies (although tournaments aren't DIScouraged either, just not an emphasis);(6) experience of the Grandmaster which is also displayed along the walls of the dojo;(7) the traditional values steeped in a long, traceable history that we are now learning.If you're looking for a flashy place to show off trophies earned at tournaments, keep searching (although tournaments aren't discouraged). If you're looking for humble SKILLS, this is your place. Come give this place a try!“

“Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu has become such a huge part of my family’s lives! Ryan, Crosley and all the instructors are fantastic demonstrating great deal of patience and passion. My children have excelled in their training and have become so much more confident. I am so happy with our decision to join Crosley Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy and look forward to the growth and dedication as we progress in our training!“

“My daughter has earned her black belt with KTA. The school is very dedicated to the sport and has taught my daughter so much. They taught her the physical skills of TKD and the characteristics to be a good person in life. The instructors and masters are the best and teach with the highest integrity.“

“Enrolled my 8 year old here about a year ago and from day 1, I knew this was going to be a great experience. From stranger danger to handling bullies, from teaching discipline to testing physical ability, time and time again I have been impressed with this school.(My favorite thing) Aside from the traditional martial arts teachings, they focus on molding exemplary members for our community by REQUIRING students to search for ways to enrich the lives of those around them via preforming and documenting Acts of Random Kindness.I highly recommend checking Champions out!“
