Martial Arts Schools near Downey

“I own a business in the same shopping center as this place. Tonight, one of my staff ran inside their studio because a couple of guys were catcalling and being sketchy while she was trying to lock up. Two of their staff dropped what they were doing and escorted her over to lock up and get to her car safely. It's one thing to train martial arts, and it's another to be willing to actually use it to defend someone. 5 stars in my book. Thanks guys!“

“Jiu Jitsu has been a transformative experience for my family and I.Professor Mike Hermosillo is incredibly skilled and patient, creating a positive and supportive environment. The classes are well-structured, catering to all skill levels. The camaraderie among students fosters a sense of community, making each session enjoyable. I've gained not only self-defense skills but also improved my fitness and discipline. Highly recommend for anyone looking to embark on a fulfilling martial arts journey at Six Blades Jiu Jitsu in the City Of South Gate !!!!“

“Thank you master for seeing my son as a great and great champion with temperament, thank you“

“This review is specific for the kids classes from a parent.As a family joining CheckMat with no previous martial arts background, CheckMat has exceeded our expectations.From day one, the instructors have each been welcoming and fair to all kids in the program. There is no question that the instructors all enjoy teaching jiujitsu to children of different skill levels and ages, it’s definitely a passion of theirs and because of that, the kids safety and instruction is tailored to challenge each kid on an individual basis.As a parent, watching your children develop life skills, gain confidence, improve their fitness, respect others, enjoy competition, and have fun/laugh at the same time is all you can ask for - and that we get with every class we send our kids to.We are extremely happy with our experience at CheckMat and would recommend it to others looking for a challenging and supporting activity for their family.“

“Great place to train and join the jiu-jitsu community! I started almost 2 years ago at Leon, not knowing what to expect, and I can't believe how much I've learned! Jiu-jitsu is a very intensive sport, but the more you put into your training, the more you can expect to grow.Coach Bill is not only an extremely knowledgeable practitioner -- he has also spent decades as a competitor and coach to his student competitors. He genuinely cares about his team and pushes us all to reach new levels.As an adult woman, it feels great to have developed more confidence in my self-defense skills. I've made lots of friends through training, and all the coaches make sure to prioritize your safety.Overall, training at Leon is a great experience! Hope to see new people on the mat always.“

“Corpo Fechado and the rest of people here are amazing! I recently started and I signed up on the first day. Not only do we learn about capoeira, we sing, play instruments, exercise, make friends, and all in safe and welcoming environment. Love this place!“

“Terry is a great trainner and trains you on your personal needs. He is very focued on helping you become the best version of yourself. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for boxing, martial arts or any way to get in shape. Terry is a true professional. Thanks, Terry, for the detailed dedication for my health!“

“I have found Richard's Tai Chi class to be excellent physical exercise and a fun activity that I can do with my husband. Richard is a great instructor and accommodates all ranges of physical ability. I am in pretty good physical condition due to years of ballet training. I had surgery earlier this year and hoped that Tai Chi would be beneficial in my recovery. To my delight, Richard modified the forms so that I could learn them easily despite having limited range of motion. I had planned to go back to my barre classes after I was fully healed. Regrettably, my barre studio closed due to the pandemic, but I am so happy with Tai Chi that I want to continue to learn and grow in my Tai Chi practice.“

“We are part of Team Elite Competition Team and if you are serious about competing this the place to go.La Palma location has National Champs and US National Team Members.You won't find a Master as professional as Master Victor.Even the prices are very good compared with other places we trained in the past.After all this time I can say coming to this studio was right decision.“

“Victory Taekwondo is an awesome place for teenagers. They learn respect, discipline, and training. Taekwondo helps them build character and perseverance. My son loves this place and I can't be happier. After the pandemic, he needed a place where to work out, feel great, and learn respect and discipline. Victory is all of that in one package. The masters are great, kind, awesome role models. Thank you so much to Grand Master Kim and all of his amazing Masters that teach my son taekwondo.“

The level of experience and competitiveness is second to none. Its ? percent ? a Judo establishment with out a doubt. Definitely happy that I was lucky enough to find this place!!!“

“New breed is a great place to train, they were welcoming from day one it felt like family. The professors are there for you on and off the mats. There's a community among the staff and students. I now have been training for a little over a year now. I am grateful for the influence BJJ has put into my life at work, personal and even among peers. BJJ is a journey, it grows on you, it makes those long days feel easier. To me, my biggest gain is that I am less stressed with life, because I now have an outlet, that I enjoy very much. I navigate problems with more ease and critical thinking. Stop by and take that jump on those mats and have your own experience/journey. Osss!“

“I started attending classes here just a couple months ago and the community here at this dojo is incredibly welcoming and patient, especially for newer students. You'll definitely learn a wide variety of skills, from self defense, sparring, disarming techniques, and of course martial arts forms and techniques. Sensei Marcos and the people here truly want to help you out and will encourage you every step of the way. Sensei Marcos is amazingly skilled and knowledgeable so you're bound to learn something from him, even outside of martial arts. Training here has been hard work and you will be pushed to your limits so be prepared! But do know that, in doing so, Sensei Marcos will help you reach that potential of yours.“

“Great gym so far first week down and can't wait to learn more. Steve and Nick are great teachers.“

“I recently joined the first adult class for 2019 with Master Garrison, and have waited to give an honest review until its conclusion. Studying with him has been unlike any other facility I have been to. It is truly an honor to train with someone as tough (mentally/physically) and as knowledgeable as him.He cares very much about teaching authentic San Soo Kung Fu, and this includes preparing students for a variety of situations. I feel not only that I am getting top training on my form/stance, but also on real life application. As a result I feel my level of self-confidence is increasing, along with my understanding of how I work with my energetic system (chi).His classes are filled with down to earth humor, and there is a positive bonding that occurs as a result. If you are new to martial arts, and you are wanting to train for self-defense purposes, this is THE CLASS TO ATTEND!!!! You won't regret the invested time.Namaste; Fiat Lux!“

“My boys have been here for about a year now. We love it. The environment the discipline the respect and learning the Master providesTruly my family here!“
