Both of my kids has been attending this center for the past 8 years now. Both have their Black belts and still are continuing to take lessons. It's also close to my house, so that's a plus for me.“

“My two teens began taking classes here a few months ago and have loved it! The professors are knowledgeable and supportive and classes are well structured while still allowing the people there to have fun and challenge themselves. I see nothing but smiling faces at the end of the classes. Tired but smiling.“

“Really enjoy learning from Coach Ken & Coach Allison at Anaheim Krav Maga. Been going to the morning class for about 2 years. The class is very welcoming, and they have students of all ages and levels. I like that it's very practical and that there is an emphasis on both physical training and mental wellbeing. I walk away each class feeling like I've learned something new -- and that I have a better sense of what I need to practice in order to feel more confident defending myself. And it's fun!“

“What a wonder gym with a great atmosphere and fantastic instruction from world class instructors. the space is made for all ages and abilities and is incredibly welcoming for advanced and new students alike. Cleber is very personable and a great instructor that genuinely cares for his students and wants only the best for them from travelong to tournaments to coach to one on one lessons you should come here for world class training.“

“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.“

“Master Chris and all of the staff are excellent. They are especially patient with my shy son giving him confidence, extra time when he needs it and patience. Class is fun, kids are in great spirits and enjoy coming each week. They also reinforce respect, talk to the kids about creating good habits and kindness. Highly recommend for all ages.“

“This is a beautiful place full of wonderful instructors. Daphne is so patient with the toddlers, my son loves her and her class.“

“Amazing teachers! Enrolled my son here and he looks forward to going every week. They are so good engaging the kids and even my son who is not a sports kid enjoys every class! Highly recommend“

“My son has attended UTO for three years now. Master Choi is very patient and excellent in his skills. When needed, my son also took his private lessons. He is determined to get a black belt. Thanks to the UTO & master Choi to develop a positive attitude in him. Their weekly and monthly worksheets like book review, filial duty, my best list, etc. help in developing overall discipline and a character building. Below is my son's review. "I have been a student at taekwondo for 3 years, and I am a red black belt with a six degree. The instructors here are really nice and kind. Plus, they have different ways of learning that make it easier. This place is worth five stars."“

“I have been coming here for more than 20 years. It is a great place filled with awesome instructors and kind students. I highly recommend it if you're in the area and looking to improve yourself or for a positive and focused activity for your child.“

“Sensei Steve, Sensei Max, Sensei David, and Sensei Amanda are top notch. My son is currently a yellow belt and is enjoying his journey through the belt ranks. Highly recommended!Special thanks to Sensei Garrett for helping my son as well!“

“Excellent place to train. Professor Bill Tetsch is a knowledgeable and passionate BJJ practitioner. I was able to drop in for a handful of classes while up on a work trip and will definitely visit if I am in the area again! Thank you so much for having me!“

“NHC Martial Arts stands as an exceptional facility – profoundly professional, impeccably clean, and a remarkable hub for martial arts enthusiasts. It encapsulates the essence, passion, and values of martial arts. The owner, a paragon of integrity, respect, and kindness, is a role model I aspire to emulate in both my personal life and career. Gratitude to NHC Martial Arts for this inspiring experience.“

“My daughter has been training here since 2021, 2 years of training so far. We came here looking for my 13-year-old to stay out of trouble and keep busy. After 30 days of training and improving, she became addicted. Fast forward to now, she's a beast. We are so grateful to Professor Javier for taking Lexi under his wing to train her as hard as he has. We consider Javiers BJJ Dojo as a second home and everyone there as family.* Challenging mentally and physically* Discipline* Great Professor and students that help* Competitions* Stress relief* Awesome workout“

“Master John is amazing with his students. Love how the Studio focuses on respect. My daughter and her friends really enjoy going to class every week.“

“I have been to a few Jiu-Jitsu studios in the past with the intent to start my journey into this discipline. However, none gave me the feel and energy I sought as a professional. This academy felt right when I walked through the door as Jason Youseph so humbly and welcoming greeted me to start my first session the same night. David, my instructor of the night, made my first experience delightful as he meticulously and simple taught me multiple techniques and foundational concepts. I look forward to my future sessions at Carlson Gracie Irvine, and highly recommend this place!“

“Legacy has set such high standards that it makes it difficult to take my kids elsewhere for any sort of classes. They are truly caring, kind and compassionate while being nicely strict. My son admires Master and the instructors. He listens well in class and I've seen the changes outside of Legacy. Most other extra curricular activities are very business like, miss a day you get 1 chance for a make up class and if not you lose it. Legacy has lenient policies for make up classes, it doesn't feel so overwhelming when you commit to the training center. I'd recommend Legacy to everyone!“

“Sensei Eric is skilled at teaching & inspiring young students to grow in their practice of martial arts! So happy to be apart of the Z Ultimate family.“

“I love everyone here. They are truly like family. All of the instructors bring something different but always respect and integrity. The kids absolutely love the environment. This is a healthy place for the body and mind.“

“Best place ever! The Masters are so kind they have helped my child grow in so many ways. Can't say enough great things about Sunrise.“

“Update: 6/6/2022The classes are full in a good way, lots of kids enjoying the lessons, the environment is friendly and a fun place to learn and exercise, recommended-------Grand Master is good with kids and the training for adults is good.“
