Martial Arts Schools near Downey

“I own a business in the same shopping center as this place. Tonight, one of my staff ran inside their studio because a couple of guys were catcalling and being sketchy while she was trying to lock up. Two of their staff dropped what they were doing and escorted her over to lock up and get to her car safely. It's one thing to train martial arts, and it's another to be willing to actually use it to defend someone. 5 stars in my book. Thanks guys!“

Thanks T for your dedication and professionalism as a trainer. We're looking forward to many more years! ? ?“

“New breed is a great place to train, they were welcoming from day one it felt like family. The professors are there for you on and off the mats. There's a community among the staff and students. I now have been training for a little over a year now. I am grateful for the influence BJJ has put into my life at work, personal and even among peers. BJJ is a journey, it grows on you, it makes those long days feel easier. To me, my biggest gain is that I am less stressed with life, because I now have an outlet, that I enjoy very much. I navigate problems with more ease and critical thinking. Stop by and take that jump on those mats and have your own experience/journey. Osss!“

“"Without reservation, I recommend West Coast Wing Chun. It has been a crucible for my healing, a pathway to reclaiming myself after the ravages of military service. I returned from duty deeply fractured, my spirit and body bearing the scars of a training that prioritized survival through destruction. I was a vessel of pain, inflicting it on my family, on others, and most tragically, on myself. It was the unwavering support of my family, coupled with the profound teachings of West Coast Wing Chun, that offered me a lifeline. Sifu Bryant Talbot, with his patient guidance, unveiled the inner strength I had long suppressed. He illuminated the power inherent in the Wing Chun lineage, a legacy passed down from Grandmaster Ip Man—a legacy that proves anything is possible when you cultivate belief within. When I gaze upon the lineage displayed in our school, I see more than just the iconic connection between Ip Man and Bruce Lee, who, despite his early departure, returned to capture a final glimpse of the master's wisdom. I see a living testament to resilience, a continuum that includes Grandmasters Ip Chun and the late Ip Ching, and the enduring spirit of Ip Man's daughters. To embrace West Coast Wing Chun is to join this lineage, to partake in a transformative journey that transcends martial art, becoming a profound act of self-discovery. (Rest in Peace, Grandmaster Ip Ching.)"“

“Our 2 boys loved their Sensei. He's great with the kids and disciplines when need it. Hoping to come back in the spring.“

“I have found Richard's Tai Chi class to be excellent physical exercise and a fun activity that I can do with my husband. Richard is a great instructor and accommodates all ranges of physical ability. I am in pretty good physical condition due to years of ballet training. I had surgery earlier this year and hoped that Tai Chi would be beneficial in my recovery. To my delight, Richard modified the forms so that I could learn them easily despite having limited range of motion. I had planned to go back to my barre classes after I was fully healed. Regrettably, my barre studio closed due to the pandemic, but I am so happy with Tai Chi that I want to continue to learn and grow in my Tai Chi practice.“

“My daughter started karate in Feb 2022. We love how this place is very family friendly. Kids are learning to have self control and discipline. I can tell they all respect their Sensei and learning all the kempo and combinations. I didn't think my daughter is going to last, but after 6 months she's got her purple belt. It was hard work, but rewarding at the same time. It builds self confidence and get them to move around. I highly recommend this place.“

“I love everyone here. They are truly like family. All of the instructors bring something different but always respect and integrity. The kids absolutely love the environment. This is a healthy place for the body and mind.“
