“My son has been a part of UTO since January and it has been a wonderful experience. The class sizes are wonderful for learning. Along with taekwondo, it also teaches great respect and skills for life. We love it at UTO! Highly recommend.”
“My son trained at this gym for 2.5 years and we loved our experience with the kids classes. The coaches like Glenn and Professor Robynho are the perfect combination of calm, warm, and structured. My son got a great foundation of BJJ by training here and we’re sad that we had to leave the gym because we moved further away. He says he still misses the people there. Go Checkmat! Thank you professor Robynho and Coach Glenn and all the other coaches and instructors!”
“This is my favorite place to train BJJ in the area. The Professors and coaches are knowledgeable and helpful. The mats and space are very clean. All of the staff and students are respectful and kind. The technique is solid. You can tell a lot of effort goes in to running this place and the instructors and staff care a lot about what they do here. This is a great place to learn BJJ as an adult or child. Thank you Gracie Barra Fullerton!”
“My son has been coming here since he was 5 years old. Master Nam is an awesome teacher i highly recommend.”
“My son has been going for several weeks and has been enjoying every class. He looks forward to to going and is really excited to learn and interact with his peers and all the Sensei. My wife and I really have enjoyed seeing his growth in him and the care that all of the Sensei have for my son and the class as a whole. Thank you sensei for the support and we are really glad that we brought our son here.”
“Shoutout to the coaches and community at Master Toddy for developing my love for Muay Thai that set an anchor to my life during a tumultuous time. A very welcoming and friendly core group of guys that makes the gym lively and a home. I miss pulling into this gym each and everytime.”
“We’ve been training at this gym for about 9 months now, and it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. I originally brought my kids in because they were shy and timid. From day one, the coaches and members were kind, respectful, and genuinely helpful. I'm in my 40's and decided to give it a shot.<br>Fast forward to now — my kids and I are more confident, social, and even competing. The growth hasn’t just been on the mats. We've taken the discipline, confidence, and work ethic that we learned into other areas of our lives. We're doing better at home, in school, at work, and in social settings.<br>The coaches are chill and laid back, but don’t let that fool you — they know how to push us to work hard and reach our goals. They created a culture that’s competitive yet supportive. It’s a safe, friendly environment, and that starts from the top with the leadership.<br>Grateful to be part of this team. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to build confidence, discipline, and resilience.”
“Master Kwon is awesome!! So patient and caring for all ages.. little ones to adults!! I highly recommend this studio...focus the eyes. focus the mind.. focus the body!!”
“After looking for a gym for a while, we finally found the best one, New Breed Academy! Coach MOISES is respectful, kind, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about his students. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for a gym where your child can build confidence, develop discipline, and learn how to defend themselves in real life situations. We couldn't be happier with our experience!”
“Such a wonderful environment with skilled instructors who know exactly how to work with kids. We have been coming here for almost 2 months now but it feels like we’ve been doing this forever. The kids catch on to their new skills so quickly and they just love everything about it! We look forward to spending lots of our time here, thank you Master Kim!”
“Terry is great trainer, motivator, and really patient. My now 10 year old son has been training with T for a year now and I have seen so much progress. Terry motivates yet makes it fun for my son to enjoy every training session. So, if you're looking for a great trainer, Terry is definitely your guy! Thanks T for your dedication and professionalism as a trainer. We're looking forward to many more years! ? ?”
“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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Hope to get back soon,<br><br>??”

“Like many of us, I’ve had my own personal struggles and issues. 8 years ago, I met sensei Marcos Rubio. I walked into the dojo one day and tried out a lesson with him. One lesson was all it took for me to know this was something I wanted to be a part of and I made the decision to sign up.<br>It was my first lesson, and my first time ever learning a martial arts class. Something I’ve always wanted to do since I saw “Big Trouble in Little China” when I was 4 years old. My favorite movie of all time!<br>Sensei Marcos is unlike anyone I had ever met, and he’s taught me so much over the years, and I am proud to say that he’s my Master, but I love this man like he’s my dad.<br>It’s amazing to know you have a great dad in your life, let alone 2. I’ve earned my black belt under him and today, not only am I student of his, but I’m an instructor as well, and now I’m a second degree black belt. He’s helped me with so much that it’ll never be enough to say “thank you”.<br>He helped me become a better person. He made me a better version of myself. I am forever grateful to Master Rubio for that. Not only him, but all the instructors here as well. Not only because they’re great instructors, but they’re great people.<br>Come on by and try it out for yourself. Z Ultimate is an amazing place to be. You’ll be amazed how much your life can change by just making the decision to take that first step to try…”
“Its been a great journey to see my 2 boys grow and become skilled physically and mentally stronger every time with Master Antonio keeping them motivated on training and living a lifestyle with discipline and respect. We were very lucky to find this school and the owner Master Antonio its very professional and a great human being.”
“My son used to be very shy and uncomfortable trying new things. When we first enrolled him in taekwondo, he was even too embarrassed to introduce himself or say his age in front of others.<br><br>He has now been attending for about 10 months, and looking back, I truly feel it was one of the best decisions we've made. The biggest change is his confidence. He now introduces himself proudly, speaks up, and expresses his thoughts wherever he goes. Our entire family has been amazed by how much he has grown. Beyond learning taekwondo techniques, he has developed confidence, discipline, respect, and good posture.<br><br>I've heard that many taekwondo schools focus heavily on games and entertainment to keep young children engaged. This school is different. They don't simply keep the kids busy with activities--they teach real taekwondo. The instructors emphasize discipline, proper etiquette, respect, focus, and correct technique. For our family, those values are far more important than simply having fun.<br><br>The Master and the Manager genuinely care about each child and give them personal attention. You can tell they want every student to learn taekwondo the right way, not just earn the next belt.<br><br>I especially recommend this school for children around 5 or 6 years old. Those early years are such an important time for building confidence and character. I honestly believe that if we had missed this opportunity, my son might still be the shy little boy who was afraid to speak up.<br><br>We plan to continue here for many years. I've also heard that staying in martial arts through the teenage years can make a huge difference, and I can already see why. If you're looking for a school that values discipline, respect, manners, focus, and authentic taekwondo training--not just games and entertainment--I highly recommend this place.<br><br>On top of that, their tuition is very fair and reasonable for the quality of instruction and personal attention each child receives. We truly feel that every dollar has been worth the investment.”
“I was looking for a summer activity for 2 of my daughters between their baseball seasons. They enjoyed the trial class and I liked the staff so I signed them up. After the second or third class, I met the owner/head black belt, Professor Bill and immediately felt the pull. After a short while, I signed up. My then 4- year- old wanted to be like her sisters so I signed her up to the peewee class too. This school has brought us together through an activity we all enjoy and has pushed us all harder than we thought we could go. The kids loved it so much that my wife decided to join the Women's Defense Class too. As for me, every day I have to talk myself into going and every day I'm glad I did. Two years later, I still end the day with: See you tomorrow, Professor.”
“Great school, great environment, fantastic instructors led by Mr. Noi! Take this opportunity to learn self-defense. You will not regret it…”
“Great atmosphere very knowledgeable and friendly staff my daughter has been going here for about 3 years she loves it”
“Master Victor is hands down the most knowledgeable and experienced tkd master in town. Try out his special, you will 100% regret NOT trying it!”
