    This is a great dojo you get fantastic training an advice on techniques everyone is so giving and knowlegeable here. This dojo is a second home to me if only I didn't have to travel 60 miles to get there.

    All I can say is that CAHILL'S Judo Academy is the best of the best. Most if not all Judo Olympians will stop in to pay their respects to Coach Willy. Two time Olympic Coach and co-founder of Blind Judo.

    Coach Cahill, Coach Mario, and Coach AJ are awesome! My kids (Girl and Boy) have been coming here for almost 6 months and they are learning quite a bit .. Discipline along with self confidence. Who doesn't love the Sumo at the end of the class.

    I've been training at Evolve Training Center for three years, and switching here was one of the…read morebest decisions I've made in my Jiu Jitsu journey. I came in as a brown belt specifically to train under Coach J Janero. His lineage through Rickson Gracie and the Ribeiro brothers resonated deeply with me since I started my journey under Kron Gracie. Making a move at that level is not easy. You do not change academies unless you are looking for something real. What I found at Evolve was next level coaching. Coach J genuinely cares about his students. He does not run a one size fits all system. He studies you. He understands how you move, where your gaps are, and how to refine your game. That level of individualized attention is rare. You feel seen, not processed. Training with J and Jane, who is also an incredible black belt and coach, has completely transformed my Jiu Jitsu. Their focus on efficiency, precision, and longevity is huge for me. I am in my 40s and I want to train into my 50s and 60s. They teach you how to push hard while staying smart. The culture is serious, technical, and supportive. If you care about growth and long term development, this is the place.

We definitely love our place, call it our place because it's a second Home, Coaches are very friendly, very knowledgeable on what they teach....definitely a lots of goods stuff to review And to my Latino community Evolve training center es 100 por ciento recomendable, ya sea busques un lugar para ejercitarte o aprender defensa persona oh dedicarte a plenamente a alguna de las artes marciales que proveen ( Jiu-Jitsu, Mauy Thai ). Mi hija está constantemente entrenando, yo también entreno y a sido una de las mejores experiencias. Los Coaches aquí tienen gran experiencia y un historial de años en estas dos disciplinas, y si son disciplinas que están listas para cualquier persona, todo dependerá de ti. Totalmente recomendable.

We want our son to learn not only the TKD skills to defend himself (and others if needed) and also discipline. We've heard about DATKD since our daughter told us at least 5-6 years ago, but son was only 2! She says "everyone goes there". She's right! It seems every San Bruno (and SSF) kids go here. Heard there are 300 kids! This place is ran very well by Ma'm Annette and her amazing young instructors which are also DATKD students that are black, brown, and red belts. Kids are definitely learning TKD and most importantly they are having fun. My son has learned so much and he looks forward to coming. His kicks are super strong! He's still learning the discipline part as his maturity catches up. He's almost 7.5 but always wants to goof off with other students and even the instructors. But they and Ma'm are patient and yet firm in reminding the rules. Surprised to see how little yelp reviews but a lot of the parents may not be regular yelpers. Come swing by and watch for yourself how awesome this place is if you're looking for a martial arts club. It's standing room only on days the kids are being tested for their next belt up. Don't let that encourage you in checking this place out as this is actually the best time to feel the amazing energy and excitement from the kids (and parents too), and witness for yourself Ma'm Annette's powerful voice and command!

I've been a student for 8 years and I can say this Dojo has helped me build an athletic body and conditioned my mind to reach my most confident mentally balanced days of my life especially during difficult situations. As years of training here continue, I still learn something new and am fascinated in how Sensei Johnson connects the physical lessons in class with non-physical everyday challenges. I've been to several martial arts schools and I find this one fits my needs the best. Shopping for a school can be daunting but know that here you will find the instructors pay close attention to proper technique to avoid injury and deliver efficient strikes, provide ample safety gear, teach with positive reinforcement, and are family friendly. Sparring does not start until the student has learned proper technique for basic self-defense, which reduces risk of injury. We're all working adults and learning students, the last thing we want is a broken nose or sprained ankle. Other schools I've attended had students start sparring after 2 weeks of enrollment and I ended up going home with bruises, unlearned technique, and apprehension to return. It's not like that here. If you're focus is to become a street fighter, this is not the place to be. If you want to become the best version of yourself in mind, body, and spirit, this is the place to go. Martial Arts training is not a sprint, but a marathon and a way of life. The best lessons are learned over time and experience, so trust the long term goal and process. You can be so much more than you think you can and this school made me realize that about myself.

    Hello fellow people,…read more I tried this place out long enough to form my opinion. I would recommend spending your time wisely by going elsewhere. To begin this place has a striking training once a week. I watched in amazement as people punched a punching bag full of recycled rubber tires and sand. It reminded me of a funny cartoon seeing the energy wave transfer back on the striker. I saw attempts at kickboxing by instructors that obviously had no Muay Thai or Kickboxing experience. Now onto the reason why I came to this place, the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The BJJ training did not meet my expectations of a professional BJJ training academy. The business owner seemed distracted by his cell phone or negativity most of the time. The were small but there seemed to be a high count of injuries, including the owner who may not spar, due to having had his arm broken doing BJJ. Good, lively and intelligent students were routinely knocked down a peg, or brow beat, so to speak, when they were doing well. This seemed to serve no efficient purpose as these were not belligerent or lazy students. It seems counterproductive. this is not a tough love, it's like Pinnochio being trained by the going nowhere boys. There seemed to be an air of insecurity in the owner and staff. The women that courageously came to the place once, probably never came back for a reason. Most people that attend BJJ classes are not broken people and do not want or need that. We want proper professional training which is a fair trade for payments. So in my opinion go find a dojo that meets your expectations. In the martial arts world there are always people looking for a place to belong, a home, a club and those people could be professional trained, not neglected of professional training. This type of training in the short term wastes time. In the long term it will crutch or starve growth. It may not be healthy for youth or adults. Not for me, and maybe not for you. Thank you for reading my review. Good day or good night.
