Martial Arts Schools near Corona Del Mar

“Master Thomas is a phenomenal instructor and does a great job balancing structure with a fun, engaging environment that keeps our kids excited to come back every week. Truly a top-tier school that focuses on real skill development“

“Been at Il-do Taekwondo for half a year now and I would say it's worth joining the membership. My overall health and fitness level has improved a lot since I started“

“Scott was a great help when I was looking for a new pair of riding pants and helmet. Solid events like bike night and super personable staff.“

“Laguna Dojo has helped my son Luke pay attention and focus more. He’s three and has been dedicated for over 6 months. He’s loves to get his energy out and make new friends! 10/10 would recommend.“

“This is an overdue review.

We've been taking our kids here (Woodbury) for years and seen such positive development over time. Master Choi and Master Tracy run a very focused curriculum and find ways to make it fun for the kids at the same time. More important than the necessary self defense skills that we signed up for, the personal accountability, discipline, and community that is taught is priceless!

To note, we've found that there is a learning curve for the younger ones (before 6yrs) in the beginning. First few lessons, they're enthusiastic. Then, there's a period where they'll say they don't want to do it anymore. I highly recommend continuing the lessons and teaching the importance of commitment. By the third month, it becomes part of their routine and you'll see them re-engage wanting to improve to achieve the next level, next level, & so on. It was a big learning for my kids to know how to get over the initial challenges and that they can overcome and succeed with commitment and practice.“

“Incredible experience. I have been training in Muay Thai today, and I had the honour and a pleasure to learn from the master and founder Rafael Cordeiro.

I have been hosted and received super well and I appreciate it, if I would live in this area I for sure would train always at Kings MMA, but sadly I’m just on holidays.

Hope to get back soon,

“Did a few drop ins. Great instruction for the Beginner Striking class that breaks down the move. Instructors provides feedback to all students.“

“When choosing a gym for Kickboxing I was worried about finding a gym that could work around my work schedule. At Oyama’s they have a wide variety of class times that made it very flexible for my schedule. I’ve been a member for 2 years now and it’s always an amazing workout👍“

“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!“

“A phenomenal spot. You visit with your trainer, explains why it is always a wonderful experience!!!!“

“We really appreciate the Sensei teaching my children at this dojo. They are focusing on not only self discipline but also on respect. We feel very blessed to be here. We love Japanese culture“

“My 13 year old son recently started at victory and is loving it! The instructors have been so kind and positive with him:)“

“Excellent BJJ group taught by Professor Borna who because of his skill and talent as a teacher he has gathered a cool and skilled group to train with. If you're looking to learn and improve at a rapid rate you can't do much better than that.“

“My daughter has been a student for 7 years, we started in the Ladera Ranch location , and have stayed with Master Kim at his Irvine studio. Wonderful instructors that truly care about the kids .“
