“Great place to learn traditional TaeKwonDo as well as self defense. Very kids friendly. Very skillful instructors.“
“Ive trained here with sensei Pat for several years now. Over that time ive really benefitted from his detailed teachings and his wide breadth of martial arts experience. Even a few years in im still learning new things from him and class is still physically a great workout. Id definitely recommend trying a class to anyone who is interested.“
“If you want it all in a dojo, this is the place. The instruction is world-class and second to none. I'm constantly amazed at the depth and practicality of Brasse-sensei's Aikido. But beyond even that, this is a place of support and community- I think of these people as my family. I came here looking for quality instruction, which I've received in abundance. What I wasn't expecting, but was pleasantly surprised, was how much this experience has changed me, my entire outlook on life and myself.“
“SF Judo Institute is a stellar place to learn Judo & Jiu Jitsu. Our 7 year old son has been taking classes there for about 6 months, and we are super impressed with the skill level of the instructors, the structure of the classes, and the overall vibe. It is very community oriented and fun. We checked out 2 other martial arts places near us and this one was by far the best across the board- price, quality and location. Highly recommend it!“
“This is a duplicate review. Unsure what happened. My 5 yr old son takes private Taekwondo classes with Master D. He's been going for a few months now, and we've seen such a great improvement. My son is high energy and would prefer to throw himself up against the wall and roll around, but Master D is super patient with him. That and a combo of his kind but firm approach has helped my son truly love Taekwondo, and he enjoys seeing Master D every week. Master D. truly is the "kid whisperer." Cannot recommend enough!“
“Iris is amazing with my girls. Self defense is a skill that is so important to learn. HIGHLY recommend Raul Castillo Martial Arts!“

“The Mats is a cozy little yoga studio that has become my escape for self-care. The studio space itself is a little small but I love how intimate the classes are! They provide quality yoga mats, blocks, blankets and bolsters so you can focus on your flow if you're new and don't have equipment.I've been attending classes here for a few months now and have found an instructor for every mood. Stephenie's evening classes are perfect when I want a slow, meditative flow. She gently guides us through poses and holds each one long enough for my body to fully sink in. I always leave her class feeling loose and limber.Joann's morning Hatha class is great for de-stressing. The sequences are simple but rejuvenating. We move through meditations and breathing exercises at a leisurely pace.When I want more of a challenge, I go to Josh or Tiffany's Vinyasa classes. They seamlessly flow us through faster-paced flows focused on breath and building up to more advanced arm balances or backbends. Both are so encouraging and help modify poses for all skill levels. I come out of their classes energized and empowered.Overall it's a gem for anyone looking to establish or deepen their yoga practice. I feel lucky to have discovered this oasis in my neighborhood!“
“Over the last few months, my two daughters have been coming to this place on nearly every weekday. During their sessions, I usually hang out in the waiting area, observing how the students are not just mastering Taekwondo, but also developing a range of other valuable abilities and positive mindsets. It's clear that Master Park is an exceptional instructor. I have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone, regardless of age or skill level.“
“My whole family has been going to Bay Area Martial Arts Academy for several years now and I have to say they are wonderful. So this review is definitely long overdue. Both my daughters have gained so much strength and discipline from the instructor (Mr Agoff). I love the life lessons he instills in them as well. The kids learn self defense, how to fall properly, stick work, different fighting forms, and the importance of training and hard work. They also work on strength and stamina and the belts are earned and not just given. Definitely lucky that we have this local gem so close to home. Also nice that my husband goes there too so the three of them can train together.“

“This school changed my life, forever. I would not be the same person without KSW. I wish them the best.“
“Results are born where people who genuinely love what they do come I graduated from a sports university, and the funniest thing is that I didn't like martial arts (okay, okay, I did kickboxing for a month and a half because I needed the extra exercise after I stopped doing track-and-field professionally).I came here as an Au Pair (babysitter) and the kids from my host family started going to judo practices at Cahill's Judo Academy. At first I wasn't particularly interested in judo, but a week ago I caught myself wanting to join a class. By now, I've been attending Cahill's Judo Academy for almost six months (thanks to the children of my host family, who love the place), and I can tell that it's worth it to be a part of this community.I love seeing the professionalism of the coaches, their friendliness and attentive approach to everyone (for example, Coach Joe always tries to remember everyone by name, and I'm not just talking about the kids). In addition, I feel the energy of the place and can describe it as "results are born where people come who genuinely love what they do."P.S. Two weeks ago I was even lucky enough to get out on the mat. Coach Ben asked some parents to try an exercise the kids were doing - jumping over the speed ladder. I think I did it with success (at least I could tell by the cheers of the children and Coach Willie's thumbs up that it turned out pretty good).And I apologize in advance if I have misspelled some names.“
“Awesome Environment & fun classes! My Son enjoyed every bit of training starting at 6 years old. Sensei Andrew is certainly a master of his craft, he brings encouragement, inclusiveness, & inspiration to every session. Definitely boosted my son’s self esteem.“
“I want to thank Mr. Johnson and everyone at Dojo USA San Bruno. We started training just before Covid hit and we went into distant learning with online classes. We started in person classes last year and I see a huge difference in Aarav’s focus. We were struggling in the beginning with the curriculum and now I see a huge difference in Aarav’s training. Aarav joined the Black Belt this year as well. He performed Bo Kata 2 at his end of school year talent show as well. I was super excited to see him perform in front of his classmates.I will highly recommend Dojo USA.“
“These classes have been so good for our 4 year old son. Great for structure, discipline, control...and fun.“
“The instructors are very friendly, patient, and attentive. A great place to learn martial art and build confidence for my kid.“

“Writing this review now as my daughters have attended USSD with Sensei Kevin and Kate for the last 18 months. The five star review is not taken lightly by me and they've earned the excellent review. Overall it's a straight-forward, honest small business that also has the support of a large national organization. I imagine the support of the national organization helped the training continue throughout the tough covid times. The effort and flexibility of Kevin and Kate was spectacular and greatly appreciated. They moved to on-line instruction which was done so well my daughters were able to learn, practice and then eventually teach new techniques and defenses without having been in person. My wife and I have many years of formal martial arts training and we could tell the quality of the training was high, yet also age-appropriate for our children. Martial arts-wise, you and your family will be in good hands with Sensei Kevin in teaching the self-defense and creating a strong internal spirit. Yet, he and Kate are also great at creating a fun and varied environment for the students. The 4 year-olds in class get age-specific encouragement and instruction, while in the same class the 10 year-olds get messaging appropriate for their development and skill-level. It's also impressive to come early and see the older teens' and adults' skills with, and without, weapons and how Sensei Kevin helps good/dangerous martial artists get better. My daughters developed a lot in their discipline and safety since starting at USSD Half Moon Bay. It's definitely a good business to support.“
“I have been a member here for some time and finally had to write a review because I have learned sooooo much here.The trainers here are extremely good at what they do. They walk you through the beginning process when you finally attend your first class. Whether it's jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, strength and conditioning, or boxing. You will have total attention from Augusto the first time you begin your first class. There is absolutely no judgment or being made fun of here, just very welcoming people.If you're looking to better yourself in life, this is the place to do it“
“We went to a few martial arts studios before landing at Evolve, and it really is a step above the others. Mark's kid's Muay Thai class is great, very fast and active, supportive and fun, and my kid always gets a good workout and leaves in a good mood. Very nice and friendly staff too, can't recommend this place more highly.“
“Master Dong is a highly trained martial artist and kind hearted leader. Burlingame Martial Arts is an excellent place for 1) confidence building in kids and 2) confidence building in parents knowing your kids can defend themselves. The community should be grateful for this martial arts studio and the learning opportunity it offers.“
“My 3 year old daughter loves her tiny tots classes and even I found myself practicing Kali. Great community!“
“My family and I were biking in the area and saw this place under construction. We were just looking inside and was greeted by Master Rick. He told us that this place will be a Taekwondo place. I was super excited to hear that this was opening in the area. Grand opening day was August 26, 2019. This place is spacious, high ceiling, very comfortable and clean. I do not feel like I’m cramped.My daughter and son was super excited and waited patiently for this place to open. The first day of class, my kids fell in love with Taekwondo and also felt comfortable with Master Rick teaching. My kids takes a very long time to open up with anyone, but with Master Rick, instant connection, very easy to talk to, very knowledgeable on Taekwondo, professional. Kids were having fun.My kids been training with Master Rick since the day he first opened up at this location, so it’s been 1 year and a half. Love this place and all the students in the Dojang.If you want to learn Taekwondo, this is the place to go to.“
“When our daughter started taking lessons back in 2019 at the Foster City site, we were unaware of this particular location.Due to the winter season and the new Foster City site construction, she started training here.We live in San Carlos so she might stick around depending on the logistics of her other extracurricular activities.“
