Martial Arts Schools near Soquel

“My son has been attending classes for 2.5 years now and it’s without a doubt the best times of his week. The trainers are so patient, passionate and supportive with the kids. I’d recommend Sanford’s to everyone and anyone!“

“The kickboxing class here is insane. Skye Folsom not only whooped my butt, he taught how to protect it, and whoop yours.“

“I have been going here for about 5-7 years, I am 13 and I used to sit in my bed and play games all day. Now I get exercise in and I've built a lot of strength to do martial arts. My father has had good reason for bringing me: to protect my autistic brother. He is disabled and can't do a lot of stuff for himself. If there is ever a kidnapper or whatnot, I'll be able to protect myself and him. I love the instructors, they are very kind. The other kids are also nice and friendly. I hope this passes on to the next martial arts academy I go to.“

“Extremely friendly and engaging teachers that meet you where you are in your capabilities. I was intimidated by BJJ but eventually the algorithm led me here for a free women empowered class and since then I've been hooked. The dojo is aesthetically peaceful and inviting... Reminiscent of Miyagi-Do on Cobra Kai. ?“

“I thought it would be funny to leave a review about a guy with a bad attitude who wants to learn how to beat people up that keeps walking in the door and outside. He can't figure out how he ends up outside the more forcefully he enters the door. He looks up at the frame, it says Aikido Door Company. If you need a locksmith get Lucky but if you need to flip your attitude and roll come here!“

“Grand Master Choi is not only a great leader for the California Unified Taekwondo Association, she’s an amazing teacher to student of all ages(literally). She is amazing with children, teaching great values and life skills for kids to grow into.

Eric Gun even had a chance to train at her dojang. Simply THE Best!“

“Lightspeed has helped my son with his confidence, attention and over all improvement in school. This is great exercise and has taught dedication and perseverance.“

“Laird is an amazing teacher and great with hands on! My daughter love coming here thank you!!!“

“Dragon Martial arts is relatively new and is a gem that people might miss. Located in the same lot as Kings Paints, this martial arts studio has been a great place to send the kids on Saturday morning while I visit the farmers market just down the street. He's also open after school 4 to 6(?), I'm not sure when the last class starts; but it's a great activity for my son between homework and dinner.Master Will is a fantastic teacher. He's kind, patient, supportive, and great with kids. His school is open to all ages; during my visits it's been mostly kids. I know that Master Will has grown up around here and, being a local, he understands our community.Martial arts has been a wonderful exercise that teaches discipline and gives my kids something to work towards! If you have the opportunity, I'd recommend you give it a shot. The first class is free so it's worth checking out.“
