Martial Arts Schools near San Carlos

“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.“

“This place is amazing! It's fun and engaging! They are super inclusive! The teachers have all been wonderful and I have learned a lot here at OneMartial.“

“Amazing coach with a lot of experiences, know how to deal with little kids. My son has great fun as well as learning a lot during the classes.“

“Excellent Aikido taught by Sensei Brasse. Reaches to the roots of traditional Aikido and he's an excellent instructor.“

“The perfect place to learn Wing Chun in the bay area. Sifu Ken is an amazing Sifu who explains every single movement in terms of detailing and its actual application which ensures we can learn the moves fast and remember it. I have been going here now for more than a year and all of us students learn and get a good workout 3 times a week but at the same time have a lot of fun as well. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a community of like minded people interested in learning Self defence and at the same time want to learn from the best.“

“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.“

“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 daughter has been attending for 5 years and we love this place! Sensei Molly and her team do such an amazing job with the kids, who learn, work out and have so much fun.“

“I've been training here for 6 years and I still look forward to each class. Ive done martial arts my whole life (Karate, Boxing, BJJ) and none of them are like Urban Combat. This place is focused on real life and how those arts come together with actual common sense for dealing with potential situations. The classes include fun workouts, lessons in various martial arts / weapons, and film study on real situations. Brian is an amazing teacher - hes not lecturing from the sidelines, he is right there with you showing you how its done.

If you are interested in learning actual self defense strategies separate from traditional martial arts - this is your place. Its a bay area hidden gem!

Note - this place is in the Karate studio (parking in the back).“

“Love Coach McCreadie, he is extremely hands on and creates a fun learning environment for the kids, teens and adults. He also brings Bay Area culture into a traditional style, blending Eastern and Western philosophies. This dojo also ties into Adrenaline Worldwide, a group that works with Hollywood studios to include choreographed martial arts and stunts. The dojo is clean spacious and welcoming. One thing is that the name has changed to Afro Bushido Academy just in case you are looking for more information.“

“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!“

“This school changed my life, forever. I would not be the same person without KSW. I wish them the best.“

“I cannot say enough of how fantastic Master Curry and Ms. Kim are with their students. Not the most important, but Precision has a junior olympic team who went to Korea to train, and Master Curry is one of the coaches for the junior olympic team. That should be enough to join Precision. However, to parents who are looking for more than TKD... They are the most positive motivators instructors you can ask for. Both of our boys were part of the Precision family. And that's what Precision is, a family. Master Curry and Ms Kim do not just inspire TKD training; they also instill confidence, teach respect to oneself and others, and helps you to be the best you can be.Master Curry would have inspirational talks with the students about what who they want to be, and how to work towards that goal. They are so much more than TKD instructors, they are your children's life coaches.Master Curry and Ms. Kim will be a great addition to your family when you join Precision TKD.“

“This is a great Judo Club, the instructors spend time with students training them to progress through their belts. Many black belts that spend time teaching.“

“last i read a review that ended 'the old man teaching' with 1 star.. if someone refers to someone as 'old man' they are not going to be good for any school. disrespect is not in the hurang creed nor in any creed of moral behaviors and standards worthy of attention.“

“Master Hyejin and the other instructors are great! My child is building so much confidence and ability to focus.“

“The owner/ head instructor is a true master of the art. He leads by example, showing high levels of skill and attention to detail, along with safety and understanding. The school is geared for all ages. I'm proud to be part of the team here. The students train to be amazing!“

“I've been involved in aikido close to fifteen years and have trained at several dojos. This dojo is world-class. All skill levels are welcome and accommodated. The instructors and senior students are great people and serious, lifetime students of the art. (Note that aikido might not make you a better MMA fighter, but it will quiet and focus your mind like nothing else. It will help you to be a better human.)“
