“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.“
“Excellent Aikido taught by Sensei Brasse. Reaches to the roots of traditional Aikido and he's an excellent instructor.“
“My whole family has been going to Bay Area Martial Arts Academy for several years now and I have to say they are wonderful. So this review is definitely long overdue. Both my daughters have gained so much strength and discipline from the instructor (Mr Agoff). I love the life lessons he instills in them as well. The kids learn self defense, how to fall properly, stick work, different fighting forms, and the importance of training and hard work. They also work on strength and stamina and the belts are earned and not just given. Definitely lucky that we have this local gem so close to home. Also nice that my husband goes there too so the three of them can train together.“
“Iris is amazing with my girls. Self defense is a skill that is so important to learn. HIGHLY recommend Raul Castillo Martial Arts!“
“SF Judo Institute is a stellar place to learn Judo & Jiu Jitsu. Our 7 year old son has been taking classes there for about 6 months, and we are super impressed with the skill level of the instructors, the structure of the classes, and the overall vibe. It is very community oriented and fun. We checked out 2 other martial arts places near us and this one was by far the best across the board- price, quality and location. Highly recommend it!“
“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!“
“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.“
“My nephew loves it, the class is always different so the children don't get bored and learn, in addition to karate, they are taught discipline, cleanliness, respect, order, punctuality. Very professional!“
“Sound Healing meditation was incredible - a tranquil and beautiful experience, thanks to instructor Joseph.“
“This school changed my life, forever. I would not be the same person without KSW. I wish them the best.“
“I’ve been working out there forever. And l absolutely love the vibe of family that I receive“
“Ive trained here with sensei Pat for several years now. Over that time ive really benefitted from his detailed teachings and his wide breadth of martial arts experience. Even a few years in im still learning new things from him and class is still physically a great workout. Id definitely recommend trying a class to anyone who is interested.“
“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.“
“Really liked this place. The first real time I tried judo. It felt legit. The instructor was good (Sensei Chris?) and I appreciated that he paid attention to the newbies, giving more detailed explanations and tips. Everyone was beyond just nice. The students (black belts and lower belts) were abnormally friendly and supportive. It had a great atmosphere. I only went to the Tuesday adult class but it was a very diverse mix of students from older to younger (including two new 57 year old students) and from experienced to newbies. I also liked the venue. Nothing fancy, but It felt like a real old time school, which is my style.“
“I attended a free self defense class today. The training center is clean & well kept. Coach J and Coach Jane are good people. I gained basic knowledge of what to do in certain situations & what they taught us were sufficient enough. They're hands on and I appreciate them taking the time to make sure our technique is there.“
“GrandMaster DK Shin myTeacher & Mentor He is the Most Highest ?? Honored ???Graduate of Korean Ku Kui Won ~= China’s Shaolin 36 Chamber Training I am honored to share an identical birthday ? and Kwoon with This amazing Wo Sa Nim since 1978.....?“
“These classes have been so good for our 4 year old son. Great for structure, discipline, control...and fun.“
“The instructors are very friendly, patient, and attentive. A great place to learn martial art and build confidence for my kid.“
“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!“
“Yes, Sifu Zhong is a great person as well as an accomplished martial arts instructor. His staff is easy to workout with and his gym has everything you need to get a great workout!“
“My 3 year old daughter loves her tiny tots classes and even I found myself practicing Kali. Great community!“
“The gym is pretty big, clean and they got everything a mma needs and the air conditioning is also good. I went for bjj and muy Thai since a co worker recommend the gym and it was free. I can't complain I had fun and the coach there are good people and legit. The only part I would be worried about is finding parking. If you want to drop by and try a class the 1st class is free.“
“Awesome Environment & fun classes! My Son enjoyed every bit of training starting at 6 years old. Sensei Andrew is certainly a master of his craft, he brings encouragement, inclusiveness, & inspiration to every session. Definitely boosted my son’s self esteem.“
“My family and I were biking in the area and saw this place under construction. We were just looking inside and was greeted by Master Rick. He told us that this place will be a Taekwondo place. I was super excited to hear that this was opening in the area. Grand opening day was August 26, 2019. This place is spacious, high ceiling, very comfortable and clean. I do not feel like I’m cramped.My daughter and son was super excited and waited patiently for this place to open. The first day of class, my kids fell in love with Taekwondo and also felt comfortable with Master Rick teaching. My kids takes a very long time to open up with anyone, but with Master Rick, instant connection, very easy to talk to, very knowledgeable on Taekwondo, professional. Kids were having fun.My kids been training with Master Rick since the day he first opened up at this location, so it’s been 1 year and a half. Love this place and all the students in the Dojang.If you want to learn Taekwondo, this is the place to go to.“
“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.“
