Martial Arts Schools near Gardena

“Truly the best TKD gym I've ever been to. Master Chung is amazing with teaching not only martial arts, but also discipline, respect of parents, and taking personal responsibility. My son's behavior and maturity has improved exponentially. I even started taking Taekwondo here, myself. I hadn't studied martial arts in about 9 years. But I've regained so much of my physical, mental, and spiritual strength working with Master Chung. My love for martial arts has been reignited! Gym is clean, easy parking, simple & organized process for sign up, payment, and belt tests.“

“It was an absolute pleasure meeting and training with the crew at Six Blades. Professor Mike was very welcoming and the roll were an a blast. Definitely recommend stopping by Six Blades in South Gate.“

“started when i was five and it is an amazing place to go to really nice instructors and over all really good place to learn Taekwondo“

“Amazing academy, great environment and knowledgeable instructors for both the adults and children's program.“

“Karate at Kaizen Dojo is lifestyle driven; it isn't just about learning karate moves. Sensei Ford prioritizes mindfulness, building students up from within, mind and body health, self-confidence, happiness, awareness, and resilience.

Both of my children have taken karate lessons at different places. Kaizen stands out, to me, as more traditional. The art of karate is present here; the reveredness of the kata. It reminds me of Daniel San and Mr. Miyagi practicing choreographed karate movements: on the stump on the beach, or in Okinawa, with the scored music behind it. I love watching the kids practice their katas.

Sensei Ford is kind and brings play to each class to keep the kids engaged. They work hard, and, yet, it doesn't occur as such. It's impressive how much my daughter knows, and how much she loves to practice and demonstrate her moves at home.

I'm truly grateful to have Kaizen Dojo and Sensei Ford in our lives. Both have made a lasting and positive impact on myself and my family.“

“Thank you Master Carranza Tae Kwon Do for the support you give to our champions, my children are happy to belong to your school, because you always motivate them to do their best, and they perceive your good vibes. My yellow belt son is motivated to follow in his black belt brother's footsteps. And I know that with your help he will achieve it. Thank you Master and may GOD bless you.“

“Mr. Colwell is a fun, motivating and disciplined instructor. He teaches broader life, integrity and character lessons along with the karate. My son loves the classes, game nights, nerf wars and all the other stuff they put on. The close community of kids, parents and teachers really shines“

“Very good with teaching children. Not too strict that the kids would lose interest in learning.“

“Master Yi is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He has dedicated his life to his craft and sharing it with others, and his passion and qualifications are truly evident. No matter your incoming experience level, I am confident you will find him to be very present, fun, engaging, energetic, encouraging, challenging, professional, and memorably kind. The studio is always clean and in excellent condition. Plenty of parking. Safe area. Could not recommend more!!“

“I went to Taekwondo International for 7 Years. At the time I was on my way to test for my third degree black belt. Unfortunately because of high school I was unable to continue my training. Now as an adult I have nothing but fond memories of the space and recommend Master Rolando Cordoba to any adult / child / teen looking for moral encouragement and discipline / guidance. Although strict in the class room, I at time would be the last student to leave the dojo because my elders would get out of work late. Master would until my parents arrived to pick me up to close the dojo. Thank you for everything Master Rolando Cordoba Sir.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Summer Camp Game-Changer! Systems Training Center Summer Camp has been an absolute dream for my daughter — and a total lifesaver for me as a parent! From the moment we signed up, I had a good feeling, but this experience has blown every expectation out of the water. First of all, no screens — can we just take a moment to celebrate that? In a world full of tablets and phones, this camp brings kids back to what childhood should feel like: movement, connection, and FUN. My daughter comes home every day exhausted, happy, and beaming, full of stories about the activities, the friends she’s made, and how much she can’t wait to go back. She’s learning discipline, gaining confidence, and getting stronger — mentally and physically. As a parent, I truly couldn’t ask for more. I only wish I had found this place sooner. This camp is seriously a hidden gem, and I hope more families discover it. Sending my daughter here was hands down the best decision of the summer!“

“Trained there for a few months while I visited the city. Loved the Aikido, the people, and the teachers. Highly recommended!“

“The oldest Aikido dojo in mainland America. Awesome teachers, great group, welcoming environment to all regardless of age or physical abilities.“

“My wife, three daughter and I have trained with Sensei Nick for more than three years and it have been an incredible learning experience and we are all better for it! The Kelly Family“

“During the pandemic, I was looking for a fun activity that would be good for my health. I was drawn to Pamana Kali because they had online classes and they take a well-rounded approach that includes practical application, art, and culture.

Guro Alvin, the founder, is a patient teacher that emphasizes practical application. He focuses on fine tuning simple techniques that work in live scenarios. He also structures his lesson plan in a way that facilitates neuroplasticity by constantly introducing new motor patterns during the exercises. This makes class a challenge after a long work day, but it's good for the ol' noggin!

Kuya Eli is the instructor at the Long Beach location housed within Kubo LB on Atlantic Ave. The classes are small, which leads to lots of helpful individual attention. We mix it up and practice kali, silat, illustrisimo, and more. Kuya Eli is on the younger side and teaches with enthusiasm and humor, making the learning environment playful as well as challenging.

If you're lookin for a fun and safe environment to learn the art of stick fighting, check out Pamana Kali!“

“My son is having an amazing time so far, and as a parent I appreciate the structured yet kid friendly approach the mestres take during instruction. Definitely a top-notch program ?“

“Great gym so far first week down and can't wait to learn more. Steve and Nick are great teachers.“

“Hello This Is Reyna And all I can say is that if you are looking for a competitive school. With National Team Members this is the right place.“
