Martial Arts Schools near Half Moon Bay

“Writing this review now as my daughters have attended USSD with Sensei Kevin and Kate for the last 18 months. The five star review is not taken lightly by me and they've earned the excellent review. Overall it's a straight-forward, honest small business that also has the support of a large national organization. I imagine the support of the national organization helped the training continue throughout the tough covid times. The effort and flexibility of Kevin and Kate was spectacular and greatly appreciated. They moved to on-line instruction which was done so well my daughters were able to learn, practice and then eventually teach new techniques and defenses without having been in person. My wife and I have many years of formal martial arts training and we could tell the quality of the training was high, yet also age-appropriate for our children. Martial arts-wise, you and your family will be in good hands with Sensei Kevin in teaching the self-defense and creating a strong internal spirit. Yet, he and Kate are also great at creating a fun and varied environment for the students. The 4 year-olds in class get age-specific encouragement and instruction, while in the same class the 10 year-olds get messaging appropriate for their development and skill-level. It's also impressive to come early and see the older teens' and adults' skills with, and without, weapons and how Sensei Kevin helps good/dangerous martial artists get better. My daughters developed a lot in their discipline and safety since starting at USSD Half Moon Bay. It's definitely a good business to support.“

“Iris is amazing with my girls. Self defense is a skill that is so important to learn. HIGHLY recommend Raul Castillo Martial Arts!“

“This place is amazing! It's fun and engaging! They are super inclusive! The teachers have all been wonderful and I have learned a lot here at OneMartial.“

“Excellent Aikido taught by Sensei Brasse. Reaches to the roots of traditional Aikido and he's an excellent instructor.“

“Over the last few months, my two daughters have been coming to this place on nearly every weekday. During their sessions, I usually hang out in the waiting area, observing how the students are not just mastering Taekwondo, but also developing a range of other valuable abilities and positive mindsets. It's clear that Master Park is an exceptional instructor. I have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone, regardless of age or skill level.“

“This is a duplicate review. Unsure what happened. My 5 yr old son takes private Taekwondo classes with Master D. He's been going for a few months now, and we've seen such a great improvement. My son is high energy and would prefer to throw himself up against the wall and roll around, but Master D is super patient with him. That and a combo of his kind but firm approach has helped my son truly love Taekwondo, and he enjoys seeing Master D every week. Master D. truly is the "kid whisperer." Cannot recommend enough!“

“This school changed my life, forever. I would not be the same person without KSW. I wish them the best.“

“last i read a review that ended 'the old man teaching' with 1 star.. if someone refers to someone as 'old man' they are not going to be good for any school. disrespect is not in the hurang creed nor in any creed of moral behaviors and standards worthy of attention.“

“The owner/ head instructor is a true master of the art. He leads by example, showing high levels of skill and attention to detail, along with safety and understanding. The school is geared for all ages. I'm proud to be part of the team here. The students train to be amazing!“

“This 390 El Camino Real Belmont location has closed or moved. Maybe Yelp has a tool for reporting this information but I haven't found it“
