“We’ve been training at this gym for about 9 months now, and it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. I originally brought my kids in because they were shy and timid. From day one, the coaches and members were kind, respectful, and genuinely helpful. I'm in my 40's and decided to give it a shot.
Fast forward to now — my kids and I are more confident, social, and even competing. The growth hasn’t just been on the mats. We've taken the discipline, confidence, and work ethic that we learned into other areas of our lives. We're doing better at home, in school, at work, and in social settings.
The coaches are chill and laid back, but don’t let that fool you — they know how to push us to work hard and reach our goals. They created a culture that’s competitive yet supportive. It’s a safe, friendly environment, and that starts from the top with the leadership.
Grateful to be part of this team. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to build confidence, discipline, and resilience.“

“Thank you very much Master Antonio for your teachings for the kiddos, very good place, recommended 100% ?“

“My grandson loves it, I just wished we could sit inside, specially when it's cold.“

“Like many of us, I’ve had my own personal struggles and issues. 8 years ago, I met sensei Marcos Rubio. I walked into the dojo one day and tried out a lesson with him. One lesson was all it took for me to know this was something I wanted to be a part of and I made the decision to sign up.
It was my first lesson, and my first time ever learning a martial arts class. Something I’ve always wanted to do since I saw “Big Trouble in Little China” when I was 4 years old. My favorite movie of all time!
Sensei Marcos is unlike anyone I had ever met, and he’s taught me so much over the years, and I am proud to say that he’s my Master, but I love this man like he’s my dad.
It’s amazing to know you have a great dad in your life, let alone 2. I’ve earned my black belt under him and today, not only am I student of his, but I’m an instructor as well, and now I’m a second degree black belt. He’s helped me with so much that it’ll never be enough to say “thank you”.
He helped me become a better person. He made me a better version of myself. I am forever grateful to Master Rubio for that. Not only him, but all the instructors here as well. Not only because they’re great instructors, but they’re great people.
Come on by and try it out for yourself. Z Ultimate is an amazing place to be. You’ll be amazed how much your life can change by just making the decision to take that first step to try…“

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at USC Taekwondo Center in Fullerton! My 4-year-old has been attending for just a few weeks, and the improvement in his focus, discipline, and taekwondo skills is truly remarkable.

Master Cho is not only incredibly professional and skilled, but also has a wonderful way of connecting with the kids—motivating them with patience, encouragement, and structure. His passion for teaching is evident in every class. And the presence of Mrs. Song, his amazing wife, adds so much warmth and support during the lessons. Together, they create a positive and respectful learning environment that makes every student feel seen and valued.

We are so grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to any parent looking to build confidence, focus, and martial arts skills in their child!“

“It is definitely an excellent school, the children have a great time, the teacher Monique and the instructors are very professional and friendly, my children are happy learning how to defend themselves and they really enjoy this sport, excellent place, prices are very affordable, do not be impressed by the name USA TAEKWONDO. CENTER I prevail but don't be afraid to call and ask, they are very professional, thank you USA TAEKWONDO CENTER“

“If you're looking for a martial arts academy In east LA this place is for you and instructed by sensei orlando aka the scorpion“

“This place is hands down the best place for BJJ practitioner to get better at throws and takedowns in Los Angeles. Don’t bother with other place for Judo b/c the majority of them don’t teach adults or their class slots are limited. Now it is true that they don’t really teach much unless you attend the fundamental class. But at one point in your BJJ/ Judo journey. You have to take responsibility in being objective in what you are weak in. BJJ is traditionally weak at stand up and the Sensei at Tenri through training will help you out in that area. Plus, even though they don’t teach during the regular class for adults. When you get your USA Judo membership, you automatically gain access to the American Judo System video library that Jimmy Pedro and Travis Steven’s created. The American Judo System video plus studying John Danaher Feet to Floor Series has accelerated my Judo training. I know that most BJJ practitioner fear being thrown which I get and Tenri has a reputation of not being beginner friendly but you can make your sessions at Tenri as hard as you want it to be. I promise you’ll be a better BJJ athlete coming training three days a week versus training one week before a tournament working standup at a BJJ school. Even if you don’t like stand up and you’re primarily a guard player. You’ll know the ins and out of stand up and pull to guard on you terms with you being the dictator of where the fight goes. As long you put in the mat time, you will reap the rewards of becoming a complete grappler.“

“New breed is a great place to train, they were welcoming from day one it felt like family. The professors are there for you on and off the mats. There's a community among the staff and students. I now have been training for a little over a year now. I am grateful for the influence BJJ has put into my life at work, personal and even among peers. BJJ is a journey, it grows on you, it makes those long days feel easier. To me, my biggest gain is that I am less stressed with life, because I now have an outlet, that I enjoy very much. I navigate problems with more ease and critical thinking. Stop by and take that jump on those mats and have your own experience/journey. Osss!“

“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!“

“I own a business in the same shopping center as this place. Tonight, one of my staff ran inside their studio because a couple of guys were catcalling and being sketchy while she was trying to lock up. Two of their staff dropped what they were doing and escorted her over to lock up and get to her car safely. It's one thing to train martial arts, and it's another to be willing to actually use it to defend someone. 5 stars in my book. Thanks guys!“

“Best best 3 thumbs ?? The master is unlike any other masters. He teaches so many moves my kids improved so much in a short amount of time. Also, he has the biggest heart he teaches kids politeness and respect towards parents and family?“

“I met Master Anzu and his students at the WKF Summit 2025 and was blown away. The students were not trained in the same base of martial arts as me, yet picked up the necessary actions impressively quickly, indicative of much skill and practice. Master Anzu was also very knowledgeable of his craft and teaching. I would love to learn and train with them more, and you should too!“

“Our family has been part of the Norwalk Judo community for many years, and I can confidently say this is an exceptional dojo. My child has been practicing judo for 8 years, and Norwalk Judo continues to provide the perfect balance of traditional values, discipline, and community spirit.

One of the things that sets Norwalk Judo apart is its dedicated team of volunteer senseis and they generously give their time and expertise to help the next generation of judoka. Their passion for the sport and their commitment to teaching is clear in every class.

Beyond technical instruction, Norwalk Judo emphasizes respect, perseverance, and teamwork. The students support one another, and there’s a strong sense of belonging. The dojo is also deeply engaged in the community center— from pancake breakfasts, bingo nights, annual summer festivals to participating in service events, they encourage students to give back and represent judo’s values off the mat as well.

We are grateful to be part of this incredible program. I highly recommend Norwalk Judo to any family looking for high-quality instruction in a positive, supportive environment.“
