Martial Arts Schools near South San Francisco

“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.“

“Been coming here for Muay Thai a little over 2 years and it's become something I look forward to every week. I've seen my skills slowly improve over time. Sparring is kept light and technical unless it's the fighters getting ready for competition. They also have very fair business practices.“

“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.“

“Really liked this place. The first real time I tried judo. It felt legit. The instructor was good (Sensei Chris?) and I appreciated that he paid attention to the newbies, giving more detailed explanations and tips. Everyone was beyond just nice. The students (black belts and lower belts) were abnormally friendly and supportive. It had a great atmosphere. I only went to the Tuesday adult class but it was a very diverse mix of students from older to younger (including two new 57 year old students) and from experienced to newbies. I also liked the venue. Nothing fancy, but It felt like a real old time school, which is my style.“

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

“My 2 sons (11 and 8) have been practicing here for several years now and they both love it. It teaches the 8 year old much needed discipline. My 11 year old who has fine motor challenges is learning how to use his body effectively and in a safe manner. Love the energy of all the coaches - firm but fun!“

“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.“

“Family friendly coaching atmosphere. Great place to start the fencing journey for our son. They keep him engaged and interested.“

“I've been training here for years. I love the art but more than that I love Jimmy our Sensei. I've made wonderful friends through the years and feel like Norm from Cheers when I come in and everyone knows my name. The place is welcoming, overly clean and it's a great art you can do for the rest of your life.“

“I’ve been working out there forever. And l absolutely love the vibe of family that I receive“

“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.“

“I love love love this studio! It is truly my escape that I use to destress after work and is full of amazing instructors that are both knowledgeable and helpful. They also offer morning workout classes that get me energized for the day. I also love that they provide all of the equipment you could ask for like the basics of mats and blocks to the more extra things like straps, blankets, mat cleaner, etc. It really feels like a community at this studio and I highly recommend!!“

“Thank you for your good stuffs and for your good facilities for athletes. and I happy ? to have the membership of this Gym.“

“I've been coming here for Muay Thai since 2020. The facilities are clean, the instructors are excellent and really care about the students, and most of all, it's a wonderful community. I highly recommend checking out this gym, and they also have fundamental classes for beginners if you're new to it. Both the MT instructors, Rocky and Carlo, are very friendly, welcoming, highly knowledgeable about martial arts, and push you to become better. The classes are always both fun and informative. Great place to go whether you just want a great workout or go deeper in learning about martial arts.“

“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!“

“GrandMaster DK Shin myTeacher & Mentor He is the Most Highest ?? Honored ??‍?Graduate of Korean Ku Kui Won ~= China’s Shaolin 36 Chamber Training I am honored to share an identical birthday ? and Kwoon with This amazing Wo Sa Nim since 1978.....?“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The gym is pretty big, clean and they got everything a mma needs and the air conditioning is also good. I went for bjj and muy Thai since a co worker recommend the gym and it was free. I can't complain I had fun and the coach there are good people and legit. The only part I would be worried about is finding parking. If you want to drop by and try a class the 1st class is free.“

“Yes, Sifu Zhong is a great person as well as an accomplished martial arts instructor. His staff is easy to workout with and his gym has everything you need to get a great workout!“
