Martial Arts Schools near American Canyon

“Awesome martial arts class to learn multiple skills in one , from kick boxing, , stick fighting , and Grappling. Well rounded training to teach your kids self defense the Coach is awesome and shows a lot of compassion in what he teaches .“

“Not only is this the best place to train in California, but now that I’m in Atlanta I’m realizing it’s nationally one of the best martial arts schools in the country. It is also one of the most amazing places to work that I’ve ever had the experience and pleasure to be apart of. The best lessons of my life came from these mats.“

“Great place to send your kids! Staff is amazing! My son spent 6 years in the after school program and we couldn't be happier with MSMA!“

“My 6-year-old son loves Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Vallejo! The instructors not only teach solid jiu-jitsu skills, but also focus on building character, confidence, and respect. They do an excellent job teaching kids how to stand up for themselves in a positive way and how not to be bullied. The atmosphere is welcoming, supportive, and fun. I definitely recommend this place for any parent looking for more than just martial arts training—it’s a great investment in your child’s growth.“

“My daughter is 6 and has been a student at Vallejo's taekwondo for two years now. It's so amazing to see her progress and grow in the art of taekwondo. They are firm but fair and also allow for a little fun and silliness. I really appreciate the way they teach and work with kids of all ages. This school teaches discipline and respect and accountability which is such a rare thing to find these days. And they are so reasonably priced for what they provide. Kwon Ja Nim is great with the kids without being too firm or too lenient and Maam Debbie takes a personal interest in the kids as well. This class has taught my daughter so much and I highly recommend them especially if you, like me, have a high energy child that needs the outlet. Taekwondo is a real life skill for my daughter and I'm excited to see how much she grows and learns from them.“

“A recently learned of the concept of "A Third Place." Coined by Ray Oldenberg, it's a social environment that is not home (first place) and not work (second place). He identified key characteristics of all third places. "They are on neutral ground and promote social equity by leveling the status of guests. Conversation is the main activity and the mood is playful. Strangers are welcome, and there are regulars who feel a piece of themselves is rooted in the space. They enjoy the same feelings of warmth, possession, and belonging as they would in their own homes." I know this is seriously corny, but William Kim's Tae Kwon Do Center is the best Third Place for families. You truly feel a sense of community when you are there. All the instructors are so good with the kids. I have personally seen how beneficial Tae Kwon Do is through my own 9-year old (who started in 2023 at 7). He has blossomed due in large part to Tae Kwon Do. Because I attend almost all of my son's classes, I've also witnessed so many other students excel. These kids learn discipline, respect, perseverance and many more valuable social and emotional skills. And even though the students are training hard during class, the classes are actually really fun! Even for parents just sitting and watching. In addition to being a great place for your kids, as a parent, you might find yourself connecting with other local parents who may even become close friends and trusted associates. Families have been sending their kids to William Kim's TKD for decades and for good reason. The center has deep roots in the Vallejo community. Third places like William Kim's are successful because of the people who volunteer and work there--especially the Kim family--who are committed to improving each students well being through the discipline of the art of Tae Kwon Do. Families continue to flock here because they can see and feel this commitment. Also there are not many places you can go to like this, where you see different generations, from gen alpha to millennial, gen x and beyond, socializing well and getting along with one another. Sidenote: My husband had been wanting our son to start Tae Kwon Do for years, since he participated in several martial arts when he was younger. He did extensive research before deciding where to start. He picked William Kim's because of Grandmaster Kim's excellent reputation (Grandmaster is a 9th Don!) And, even though we live further away in Cordelia, we believe the quality of William Kim's is definitely worth the drive to Vallejo.“

“It's a really good gym I have been there for about 5 years it is a really good place I would recommend“

“Grandson has learned so much!. Andrew just completed his testing and is now a blue belt! Amazing . Any parent even thinking about putting their child in a Karate class look no further. This is the place!“

“Amazing! My son loves going to class, he’s in the 6 pm class and has the option of attending 5 days a week. We try to attend as much as possible, with school and work we make it a minimum of two days a week and I have seen significant improvement in my son, such as his focus and ability to follow instructions.“

“The oldest continously running Kajukenbo school in the world. A rich legacy of Martial Arts Champions that continues through today. Effective and street proven Self defense.“

“I feel super blessed to get to train in the Giron system--directly with GM Mike Giron, son of Leo Giron. GM Giron, Guru Brian, and instructing members gave me a great deal of individual guidance and attention. They really made sure I got the curriculum right. I really enjoy all the historical detail I picked up on the history of escrima in Stockton. OGE aren't just a club, they're a family keeping the Original Giron Escrima system alive. Bahalana.“
