Martial Arts Schools near Novato

“I can’t say enough good things about this gym. Both the adult and kids programs are top notch in every way. The instructors are experts in their craft and create a fun, safe, and challenging environment. The best part is the people. There are great people here who want to improve their skills, grow mentally, get exercise, and get better together. If you are brand new to bjj or a seasoned competitor this is a great option. Come check it out!“

“Superb place for both fit classes and learning self defense. The teachers are excellent, recognize individual limitations and are helpful in learning. Professor Phil is highly knowledgeable and shares his knowledge and experience with his students. Marin Dojo is highly recommended.“

“I joined at age 54 and wish I had joined sooner. Terrence, the owner and instructor, is great. He is patient, knowledgeable, and a good person. I enjoy the exercise, camaraderie, and kung fu history. The forms and self defense techniques are fun too. I would recommend San Rafael Martial Arts for any person at any age looking to learn a martial art and get some exercise.“

“Love love love this place!! My kids started karate here and I am so impressed with how Master Bentley (aka Head Teacher Derek) and his teachers meet them where they are and make them better. It has been awesome!!“

“Had to force my 14 year old son to go to the first free lesson. That was two years ago. He loves it. All of the Sensei’s have been wonderful. He looks forward to it every week now.“

“My son has taken the first steps to being accepted here. The man has given him a little test of physical ability and we've put down a payment. So far so good. I think marin is in yellow their right now but they've got classes and private instruction.“
