Martial Arts Schools near La Crescenta Montrose

“Doha has been an incredible place for our kids and for our family. Their support and sense of community are amazing. Master Vahan and all the instructors are fabulous. Thanks for a great tae kwon do journey!!“

“Both my daughter and son love going to karate thanks to the wonderful teachers at Yeremyan Tae kwon do.“

“At age 66 this is my first time doing any real fitness training. I was always an outside work out person or took yoga classes. But I decided that I needed to round out my fitness routine and was referred to The Nomad Gym by my physical therapist after a minor injury.
I am so glad I found The Nomad Gym-it is perfect and has far exceeded my expectations. Every week my trainer, Allie, comes up with something different. It is never boring, always something I can handle (even if I think I can't) and serious but oh so friendly, welcoming and down to earth. The Nomad Gym is wonderful!!“

“Great place to take your kids to learn some jiujitsu! The coaches are so fun and have a lot of patience with the kids. ??“

“We absolutely love K Taekwondo! Instructor Heather is great with kids endlessly patient, warm, and incredibly engaging. She connects with them so naturally while still holding high standards.

Master Josh is outstanding. He’s motivating, encouraging, and incredibly thorough in how he explains techniques and expectations. What really stands out is how much he genuinely cares about each student improving, no matter where they’re starting from. He meets them where they are and pushes them to grow.

Since starting, my son’s confidence has really grown, and he listens so much better both in and out of class. He’s only 4 and looks forward to class. Great outlet for high energy kids! We’re beyond grateful for the positive impact and highly recommend K Taekwondo!“

“My kid has been in their program for a few months now and while he's had to put in a lot of work, the senseis are very good at teaching the kids and being patient. It's been very helpful for my child's attitude and attention.

Also, they just came in third at the Las Vegas tournament, which included dojos from 12 different countries.“

“I have 2 kids in this studio and can only say positive comments about classes and coaches. The daugther in jiu jitsu absolutly loves it! It lets her feel powerful and confident. My boy loves both classes but gravitates towards muay thai, which is also a wonderful class for defense as well as strengh and conditioning. The coaches are knowledgeable, but they pay attention to the kids with an encouraging attitude. The studio is always clean. I like it that they are flexible if showing up to class late or having to leave early.“

“Very clean and easy to get started here. Great for anyone new or just looking for a place to train.“

“A friendly and welcoming group of skilled group of Budoka who let me train with them while I was in the city for a day. Very grateful to them and would recommend highly.“

“Fantastic classes and top notch instruction where you can learn real, applicable and effective self defense techniques in a controlled and ego-free environment. A rare find these days. I initially found combatives academy when searching for a Filipino martial arts school for knife/weapons defense and fighting. I figured I carry a knife so may as well learn how to use it. After just the first class I was shocked at how much I didn't know (in a good way). Sifu Raffi has a very calm, detailed and easy to follow way of teaching. He's also a very talented martial artist which was obvious to me after seeing just a few demonstrations of techniques. So many self defense situations involve a weapon even on one side. Knives, baseball bats etc. This art really covers a lot of things. I have previously trained in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.I asked about the Jeet Kune Do classes and the instructor recommended I take this, along with my Escrima classes to have a complete system as the hand to hand translates well over to the weapons. After the JKD class I took a few weeks later, I was very impressed with how complete of a martial art it was. In one class we covered some effective strikes as well as a few grappling moves. Each technique was shown in detail and we were given ample time to really practice it and get it right with a training partner. An all encompassing art like JKD is really what you need for self defense. It's also a fantastic workout along with stretching, etc. The JKD along with Escrima covers all the bases for me, effective striking, grappling, distance control plus weapons use and defense. I would highly recommend trying the 2 free classes if you're on the fence! Hopefully I'll try a Silat class in the future and can update my review with that aspect.“

“Sifu Sun is an excellent teacher and his classes are incredible! Tai Chi Chuan is a beautiful martial arts focused discipline and Sun talks you through the movements and motivations with care and revere. Every class is a life lesson on balance and change as well as a physical workout. I am so glad I have found these group classes!“

“Best fight club i ever went to, when the coach says it will be your second home, it will, the people training are respectful too.“

“Great place to practice Martial arts in Hollywood. Everyone is kind and they give special attention to your kid. Highly recommend.“

“Best instructor ever. This place is clean, and it is a pleasure to be a customer. Great instructor!“

“I’m a black belt here at TMAX, and my experience here for the past 4+ years has been nothing but great! The instructors are always nice and they do an astounding job at handling the super loud toddlers that keep screaming “6-7.” In most cases, this is just a fun thing for your kid to do while you go out and do fun things without the burden of a child holding you back; but kids that are serious about Taekwondo WILL get really good thanks to the help of the masters. Many of my peers here have the most amazing kicks, and morale is always high. Whether you want to get some great levels of discipline, great skills in martial arts, or just have something fun to do, then TMAX is the right place for you!“

“My son started here when he was 6 years old. 2 years later, I've started and my 5 year old just started as well. Sensei Lucian is a fantastic teacher, and my children have a great time while learning about focus, coordination, defense, and all while having a blast. As an adult starting up, I've loved the vibe in the adult classes. Everyone is fun, respectful, and we get great workouts while learning self-defense! Highly recommended for kids AND adults!“

“Since I've been taking my 3 year old daughter to Ultimate Taekwondo our life changed for good!! She's been less introverted and she has learned so many good habits like discipline self defense she cooperates with house chores With no hesitation. Master hector, Instructor Jordan and Luna are so professionals and wonderful human beings. I couldn't be more happy about it.“

“Amazing treatment. Both acupuncture, Chinese herbal and X-Jow for all of us older athletes. Highly recommend“

“This studio is awesome! My only complaint is the Shaolin. Im not Buddhist. The good news is that there is no pressure to convert. Highly recommended life skills

Dr. James Mitose was a christian

So was William Chow.“

“Come and check out the newest dojo in Alhambra!! Friendly, respectful and fun - come check it out for an introductory class today.“

“This is where it all started for me. I knew my family would benefit from BJJ but not to the degree of being able to crossing over into adding value in mind, soul and body. Professor Dartanian Bagby is extremely passionate and knowledgeable in BJJ. He teaches with precise accuracy. This is special because whether you are a first time learner or someone with years of experience- he will help you bring up your game and confidence considerably. When you find your way to training with Professor D, know that is a special and unique gift.“

“My kids are attending Docando in Burbank! Gor Vardanyan and his team Zhirayr are one of the best! My 2 boys walk to Karate cause they want to be there getting stronger and learning life! My kids have high self confidence ! They put their time and knowledge to work with their students.. Now they also have classes for ladies which my daughter attends! She's very happy with the training. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants the best for their kids!!“
