Martial Arts Schools near Claremont

“I highly recommend Excel Taekwondo, Claremont located in the Baseline shopping center next to Vons. My son absolutely loves it! His instructor, Master Rhee is a phenomenal teacher and mentor. He teaches the kids of all ages discipline, self control, indomitable spirit, perseverance and having a positive attitude. Master Rhee makes the lessons fun yet challenging. My son looks forward to every session and wants to arrive early to get started. My son is listening better at home and seems more confident and most importantly happy.I think it's a great foundation of principles for kids of all ages. Thank you Master Rhee!“

The Senseis and staff are all great, can’t thank them enough. It’s also nice sharing and interacting with other parents, great team work.“

“YIC Taekwondo has made such a great impression on my son. He has developed more compassion, humility, and respect since he joined two years ago. The instructors there are very patient and supportive toward the kids. Learning Taekwondo with this facility is definitely the right choice!“

“An amazing place for kids to burn out energy, develop discipline, and learn how to defend themselves! My kids absolutely love it!!!!“

“If you're looking for a top-notch martial arts school with a focus on discipline, respect, and fun, Villatoro Champion Martial Arts (VCMA) is the place to go! My boys, ages 9, 6, and 5 has been attending classes for about two years (started when they were 7, 4, and 3) and has grown in confidence, focus, and physical ability. The instructors are passionate and knowledgeable, and the classes are always engaging. I highly recommend VCMA to anyone looking for a positive and rewarding experience.“

They are very professional and patient with myself and my 4 kids. If you are looking for a place to learn and have fun come to WCTA!!“

“My child took the trial classes, we loved it. Trying to work out our schedule and be able to attend during fall! Master Kim is super patient and has a great mix of fun and seriousness to the lesson. My little girl has great workout and laughter.“

“All the Sensais and coaches in RDK San Dimas are passionate on Karate, and wholeheartedly help every of their students to have successful Karate training journey. They are patient with students by motivating them to through different ways, and more so they make each karate class full of fun and excitement. Other than the regular karate classes, they devote resource and energy on other fun-filled activities outside of the regular class time. I have put my son in their dojo for over 3 years and it's been an amazing journey so far. I would choose this dojo again if I were to pick again, despite the long commute.“

“My two teenage daughters are in Krav Maga and have grown so much in the past four months. They are more confident and have learned respect. My 8 year old son is in the karate program also has fallen in love with martial arts. Sensei Carl and his staff are great teachers and take time with each student. They are patient but also firm with the kids. Great Job.“

“This review is long overdue! Been coming here since October 2020. Friendly gym and I love the atmosphere. The coaches push you to do your best. They really hone in on form and technique. The classes are always different and you definitely will not get bored. I love how they offer different types of classes: boot camp, weight training and a boxing boot camp. I have definitely seen a difference in my strength, cardio and endurance since joining.“

“Defense Arts Center is the place to go if you are interested in learning or having your child learn authentic, traditional Japanese Karate. My son has been going to DAC for a year now and it's been a great experience for him. The instructor, Sensei Ty, is very professional, kind, and caring. His karate program teaches kihon (basic moves), kata (forms) and kumite (sparring), as well as self-defense movements. While there are many karate dojos/training centers around this area, including Upland, Ontario, Ranco Cucamonga, etc., this is the only place where you can learn real Japanese karate-do, namely Shotokan karate, one of the four major styles of Karate that are Shotokan-ryu, Goju-ryu, Shito-ryu, and Wado-ryu.“

“My son really enjoys learning aikido with Sensei Morales and Sandra. They are very professional, knowledgeable and care for their students! We love the people at this dojo. It's a hidden gem in upland!“

“This is the best Jiu Jitsu class because they truly focus on teaching. I've tried other places where it's mostly about fun. I don't want to spend money, especially time, driving and waiting for my kid for a Jiu Jitsu class just for fun. But here, after just one free class, I didn't hesitate to sign up for a year. They really teach things even from the first class. I really like the coaches here, especially Mr. Albert. He is kind yet strict, maintaining full control to ensure that kids are not just playing around but learning properly. I appreciate the balance of discipline and kindness. I am very thankful to have found this place and highly recommend this business!“

“My children train here and absolutely love it! The techniques seem to translate well to real-world self-defense( I know this because my children love to practice on me when they get home?).“

“I am a student at rdk and the experience each time i’m there for a lesson is great. Every sensei teaches very explicit with instructions.“

“Both my daughter and son have been attending RDKLV for a few months and all the Sensei's have been fantastic to work with. The dojo instills technique and discipline in all that they teach, from their beginner classes to their sparring classes. I enjoy the fact that they include white belts to black belts in their classes (not sparring against each other of course) which enables my kids to see what they can become with effort and discipline. The teachers are fantastic, easy to communicate with, and have a noticeable desire to teach their students.“

“Our daughter started here 3-1/2 years ago and just earned her black belt. The masters are amazing with the children, providing a good mix of exercise, forms, humor, discipline, respect, resilience, balance, strength, leadership you name it. Our daughter excels in other sports because of it. I highly recommend MK Taekwondo. A lot of families travel from the other side of town to come here.“

“My son has been attending Chozen Martial Arts for about a year now and I couldn't be happier with the results. The transformation in him is truly remarkable. Not only does he love going to his classes, but it's evident that the training has made a real difference in his life. His focus and discipline have improved significantly since he started the program. It's amazing to see him apply the principles he learns in class to other aspects of his life. plus, he can't wait to show off his new skills to our family and friends at home! if you're a parent considering martial arts for your child, I highly recommend Chozen Martial Arts. The instructors are fantastic, the atmosphere is welcoming and the positive impact on my son's confidence and behavior has been undeniable. Chozen has truly been a game-changer for us.“

“The owner and his wife are very nice and honest! You could feel they really love what they do. My kid transfered from black belt taekwondo diamond bar center. The black belt master closed the center and refused to refund. All star has no obligation to take their mass but the owner said we don't need to pay unitl our pervious contact with back belt taekwondo diamond bar expires. To protect the taekwondo industry they take responsibility! I really appreciate their kindness and may God bless their business!“

“This is a nice place to take Zumba classes in Rancho Cucamonga the girls are very fun and dedicated, The music is great and the classes are affordable, they also have good parking and a kids play area.“

“Came here as a 1st degree black belt. Training is very good with some working out, sparring, and forms. The master is a very good person and has so much enthusiasm in training everyone.“

“I recently took a Woman's Self-Defense Class that was to support the Susan G Komen Foundation. This class was so great and I can hardly wait to go back. Good practical tips and tools plus we got to practice them with opponents. The class was small but I strongly suggest checking it out, especially in this day and age. It was mentioned that they will start doing these quarterly which I know I will attend.“

“As soon as you step in you are treated like family.Very impressed with the way the masters handle the little tigers program. They truly get involved with their students to teach them discipline and boost confidence.“

“Being in Krav Maga has not only taught me how to fight, but it made me become a better person and more confident. I am able to stand up for myself. I never thought I be standing up for myself. I owe it all to Sensei Johnson for helping me and guiding me to be tough and helping me reach my goals. I joined Krav Maga so that I wouldn't be afraid, weak, and timid. This is something that gets me through the day. When I walk into the dojo, I am a completely different person. I went on a 11 year hiatus from 2010 to 2021. I never thought I see myself back in this dojo. I never thought I see Sensei Johnson back. I wish I was continuing Krav, but I am back now and I am turning myself around. If you join krav, stick with it. Don't make the same mistake I made.“

“Truly a great place to learn and improve. My 2 sons have been going to GKKC for the past few years. In this time, they have improved on their balance, mind, and focus. Master George cares about his students a lot. If you have ever watched Karate kid, this place is Miyagi Do. Simple, nothing fancy, but good teachings. Give this place a try.“
