Martial Arts Schools near Martinez

“Our daughter started in the Tiny Tigers program, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Every instructor is disciplined, patient, and exceptional at making classes fun and engaging for young children, and the staff is always warm, accommodating, and flexible with make-up classes. In less than a year, we’ve seen an incredible improvement in her focus, discipline, respect, and confidence—not to mention they throw the best birthday parties!“

“Great group, flexible classes. Teachers are supportive and helpful. Overall, we've had a great experience!“

“I dropped in for the 12:15 PM open mat on Saturday. Vini, his students, and the front desk staff were all incredibly welcoming. I had some competitive rolls with his students and was soundly handled by Vini, the owner. He was also kind enough to work on a few things with me after the open mat, which I really appreciated. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Such a great place for kids! The environment feels very safe, and the instructors (shout out to sensei miro & wifey) are patient, friendly, and professional. My son was welcomed right away and looks forward to every class. The staff truly care about the kids, not just teaching jiu-jitsu but also building confidence and respect. I’m so glad we enrolled him here, it’s been nothing but a positive experience!“

“I'm a student here right now, and I can honestly say that my confidence and just feeling good about myself have gone way up since I started. But it's not just my attitude that got better, the discipline and the feeling of being part of a team here are just as awesome. The instructors really care about us and teach us to be respectful, which makes every class hard work but also super fun. The whole place, from the Masters to the other students, feels like a second family and is always welcoming. If you want to grow as a person and get great martial arts training, you should definitely check this studio out.“

“Our family is driving home from a U.W.T.A Nationals Event in Reno. The event was well planned, well organized, we all had a safe, family friendly good time and learned some valuable lessons about competition and good sportsmanship. While reflecting, I thought I invented a new word, unbullyable, but as it turns out, it’s actually already a word-kinda.

It’s a concept that others have already written books about. Nevertheless, when i think about how can we foster a generation of unbullyable children? I automatically think of Soaring Eagles Tae Kwon Do Academy.

Soaring Eagles TKD Academy has helped Tikim and I raise up two certified unbullyable daughters. We are so grateful. #letsgoeagles!“

“My daughter has never been one to “yay let’s go do a high core physical activity “ kind of girl, so when I told her I wanted her to try a karate class she wasn’t too happy with me. Four months later and after that one class and she’s loving it! She can’t wait for class day and I can see her getting stronger and more and more confident with herself! Sensei Tom is very disciplined and fun with the kids and adults who take the classes. If you have a kid whom you want to really learn how to defend him or herself against anyone trying to harm them, this is the class. Best Sensei ever as my daughter says!“

“Excellent karate school! My son loves coming to class and has gained confidence and discipline.The instructors are fantastic and create a positive learning environment.“

“I’m 12 years old I do the junior class and I love it. I’ve been doing it for about 11 months and it has taught me discipline strength and of course martial arts. I have more confidence and I know I can defend myself. I’ve made so many friends here and definitely keep doing it. Thank you Gustavo Junior and Gustavo. You guys are great teachers.“

“My daughter is 6 and has been a student at Vallejo's taekwondo for two years now. It's so amazing to see her progress and grow in the art of taekwondo. They are firm but fair and also allow for a little fun and silliness. I really appreciate the way they teach and work with kids of all ages. This school teaches discipline and respect and accountability which is such a rare thing to find these days. And they are so reasonably priced for what they provide. Kwon Ja Nim is great with the kids without being too firm or too lenient and Maam Debbie takes a personal interest in the kids as well. This class has taught my daughter so much and I highly recommend them especially if you, like me, have a high energy child that needs the outlet. Taekwondo is a real life skill for my daughter and I'm excited to see how much she grows and learns from them.“

“My daughter and I both train with Omolu Capoeira Walnut Creek and really love it. Uri and Quokka are both very thoughtful and patient teachers and the classes have a ton of variety to help keep things feeling fresh.“

“My son grew up to be a kind, respectful, confident, funny, strong yet gentle man. I thank Master Powell, under whose tutelage he was for 5 formative years. Master Powell was a powerful role model. A brilliant martial artist - beautiful to watch, a wonderful, loving teacher and super funny to boot.“

“Grandson has learned so much!. Andrew just completed his testing and is now a blue belt! Amazing . Any parent even thinking about putting their child in a Karate class look no further. This is the place!“

“It's a really good gym I have been there for about 5 years it is a really good place I would recommend“

“I just wanted to share a little bit about my experience with Solis. My 6-year-old son has been attending classes there for over a year now, and it has been such a positive experience for him. It's a perfect outlet for him after school, providing him with great exercise and a chance to burn off some energy.

But it's not just about physical activity – the instructors at Solis do an amazing job teaching discipline and encouraging good behavior. They consistently talk to the kids about how important it is to behave well at home and in the studio, which is a wonderful reinforcement of the values we teach at home.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with our choice to enroll our child at Solis. It's been a fantastic experience for our family.“

“Great instructors, they go all out for the kids. A great way to meet people in your community. Kids learn discipline and get a chance to meet/interact with new friends.“

“My two daughters have been going to taekwondo here with teacher Mr. Drath for many years now. John Drath has been an amazing and inspiring teacher and has a great team to support him in teaching martial arts. Our family highly recommends his studio!“

“Amazing! My son loves going to class, he’s in the 6 pm class and has the option of attending 5 days a week. We try to attend as much as possible, with school and work we make it a minimum of two days a week and I have seen significant improvement in my son, such as his focus and ability to follow instructions.“

“Everyone is worked hard and have fun, students and families show gratitude towards the lovely people they come across and have loads of respect to everyone that comes their way. Events are greatly appreciated amongst students and families and the set schedules are great for an evening activity to do for the kids after school.“

“My kids went here for 6 yrs and we only left because we relocated to east coast. The owners are the best they treated us like family. My kids loved it here!“

“Master Jones it's a great human being. He is an inspiration and I have known him for about 10 years. I have 3 kids in his Taekwondo classes and all my kids admire him and loves going to the classes. Who ever has a chance to meet him or talk to him is a lucky person. I highly recommend signing up for his classes 100%“

“Amazing knowledgeable experienced coaches, great atmosphere/teammates, Master Brando teaches honorable philosophy, TRUE and applicable street mixed martial arts training. Highly recommend! Very hard to find a school like this in my years of experience.“

“This exceptional school has been an integral part of my journey through various stages of life. It's not just about learning the art of cobalt, self-defense, and physical fitness; it's a profound experience of self-discovery, discipline, resilience, and the nurturing of moral values. Beyond honing my martial skills, this school has empowered me to tap into my inner potential. I wholeheartedly recommend it, not only for mastering combat and maintaining fitness but also for personal growth – an invaluable investment in your well-being and life's journey.“
