About AKA (American Kickboxing Academy) - Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu, MMA & Boxing

Blue Dragon Taekwondo/Muay Thai/99 Jiu-Jitsu is a martial arts school that offers classes for all ages and genders. The owner and primary instructor, Professor Anthony, is dedicated and knowledgeable about MMA and Jiu Jitsu. He is assisted by a skilled staff, including Sensei Daniel and Carl, in teaching multiple classes on weekends and evenings.

The school has been beneficial for a child with learning difficulties, as the structured and stimulating environment has improved their attention and discipline. The training has also raised the confidence of another child, leading to success in other areas.

Adults can also take MMA and Jiu Jitsu classes, which are described as phenomenal with a supportive atmosphere that encourages improvement. Workshops for women's self-defense are also available.

A young child who attended for a few months loved the training and continues to express interest in martial arts. The school's teachers are praised for being good with kids and strict when necessary.

The school offers unlimited classes, and a child who has been attending for a year has progressed in both MMA and Jiu Jitsu. The parent is glad they found Blue Dragon Taekwondo/Muay Thai/99 Jiu-Jitsu after trying other martial arts schools.

I was previously at another big name jujitsu school in the area. Then I found out the legendary AKA which is well known around the world opened up in San Diego/ Chula Vista. I wasn’t happy at my old gym because I was being charged too much for my kids to only attend few classes per week in just Jujitsu. At AKA, besides it is the worlds famous gym, the prices were much lower and my kids could attend as many classes they want in Jujitsu, MMA, Muay Thai, Taekwondo and Boxing . I was referred by my friend whose child is top ranked in Jujitsu. I found out that AKA has the #1 kids Jujitsu in San Diego. Since my kids has been coming here for over a year they have excelled… read full review

I’ve been training at AKA San Diego for a while now, and it’s been an amazing learning experience. Whether it’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, or MMA, the coaching is top-notch and the instruction is at a very high level. The gym has built a strong reputation for producing champions and helping students succeed in tournaments.

On top of the excellent training, everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The coaches genuinely care about helping you improve, no matter your experience level. If you’re looking for a place to learn martial arts in a positive, competitive environment, I highly recommend anyone looking for a gym to train at, adults and kids as well!

Our son, Lorenzo, has been training at American Kickboxing Academy Chula Vista for the last 3-4 years, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. He has grown tremendously not only as a skilled mixed martial artist and jiu-jitsu practitioner but, more importantly, as a disciplined and hardworking young boy.

The life lessons taught at this studio are truly second to none. The coaching staff—specifically Professor Tony, Daniel, Carl, and Pat—are simply the best. They are incredibly attentive, deeply patient, and amazing martial artists in their own right. They genuinely care about the development of each student both on and off the mats.
