As a parent, finding the right dojo for your kids means everything, and Carlson Gracie Temecula has…read morebeen such a blessing for our family. Professor Tom knows how to bring patience and understanding to teaching young kids, while still holding them to real discipline -- and it shows. Even at just 4 and 6 years old, our boys already show him such genuine respect, and as parents, that's exactly what we hoped to find. Our boys have spent the majority of their training with Coach Dienekes, and we can't say enough about him -- his guidance and dedication have been a huge part of getting our oldest ready for his competition in two weeks. On top of that, Professor Tom still made time for a private lesson with him ahead of the comp, even with how busy he's been prepping other students for their own competitions. Above and beyond doesn't even cover it. You could feel how much care and love for the sport both coaches pour into these kids. The facility itself matches the quality of the coaching -- spacious, well laid out, and always clean and organized, with dedicated areas for the different classes and even a lounge for parents. You can tell how much pride they take in the place. We tried another gym before this one, and it just never felt like this. We are so grateful to have finally found our jiu jitsu home. Thank you for everything you do!

We enrolled our son (9) and daughter (12) at this academy a little over a year ago and it's…read morehonestly been one of the best decisions we've ever made. The entire team has been instrumental in our children's success, both on the training mat and at competitions. My wife and I were both multi-sport athletes, but neither of us ever practiced or competed in combat sports so while we weren't sure what to expect, we both understood what effective teaching/training looked like. From the first day, it was evident that the team was focused on developing comfort and confidence in the new students. They were both immediately assigned to an experienced student who made them feel relaxed and walked them through both the drills and lessons over the next few days. They quickly went from being a little scared of joining a class full of students with varied experience levels to requesting to attend class every day of the week. Of all the extracurricular activities they had tried, this was the one that ignited their passion the most. The professor, Tom Cronin, and the entire team of coaches do an excellent job of keeping the kids engaged by balancing expectations with both fun and recognition. They have a great sense of each student and how to motivate them to excel. They also steer clear of pitfalls we were warned of by friends who have children attending other academies, specifically promotions based on attendance as opposed to merit. At this gym, the children are evaluated on their skills and ability to execute the requisite moves. This encourages them to excel instead of just casually participating. Within 9 months they had developed enough confidence to compete and we were blown away at how well they performed against the competition from around the country. Most importantly, they had a coach prepare them the week before with one on one training and he was the one who attended the competition to coach both of them through all of their matches. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly for us, the academy doesn't just teach them BJJ, it reinforces core behaviors that we expect from our children - Respect, honor, and community. At the end of the day, we are all trying to raise the best humans we can and I can say with absolute confidence, that this academy is an integral part of that process for our children. I absolutely recommend Carlson Gracie, Temecula to anyone with any interest in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu.

At the same time, I've personally had Professor Rudy drill with and assist me in my own BJJ strategy and game, in Gi and No-Gi. I highly recommend Lokahi Jiu-Jitsu to all age groups, that want to improve their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, or even just start for the very first time! When my son comes to the age of 3, I plan on enrolling him to this academy so he can start his BJJ journey!

My first impression was notably how clean, organized, and welcoming the environment is. The Staff welcomed me, assisted me with signing up and allowed me to try out a class. Professor Rudy is an excellent instructor, makes things simple to understand and provides clear-cut details when teaching. The other students were also very welcoming and respectful and I truly enjoyed the chance to train with them. If you're in the local area & looking for a place to train or even start out, Lohaki Jiu-Jitsu is highly recommended.

I don't rush into reviews--I like to really experience a place first--and this gym has exceeded my expectations in every way. I originally started training here by myself, and now both of my kids train with me. They love it, and honestly, that speaks volumes. The environment is welcoming from day one. It doesn't matter if you're a doctor, lawyer, law enforcement, a mom or dad, or someone walking in off the street--once you step on the mat, everyone is treated the same. No egos, no nonsense--just a solid group of people pushing each other to be better. The professors are top-notch. They take the time to teach real jiu-jitsu the right way, breaking things down so students of all levels can grow. It's also pretty special to train alongside high-level practitioners while still feeling like part of the team. More than anything, this gym feels like family. The friendships I've made here--brothers and sisters on the mat--are ones I never would have found outside of jiu-jitsu. If you're looking for a place with great instruction, strong values, and an even stronger community, this is it.

A good friend of mine had his son enrolled with Julio at Team Overtime for a couple years and he…read moreshared some videos of his boy on the bags and I was like "Dude, I want my son to do that"... so I enrolled him last year.  We started off with one-on-ones with Julio to gain the fundamentals, and then moved him into classes.  Julio and Team Overtime have been just fantastic in helping my son both mentally and physically.  I've had him enrolled little league, flag football, Tai Kwon Do and basketball.  For most of these sports, he had a difficult time accepting instructions from coaches... not a behavioral issue, it was a "lack of interest" issue. Julio picked up on this and incorporated this into the weekly trainings.  It was absolute magic to see my son start to appreciate the sport of Boxing and see his progress; to be motivated from this progress and want to continue.  Not to mention, he is learning so much about self defense, co-ordination and sportsmanship.  Today he is enrolled in both Boxing and Kick Boxing classes with Team Overtime. So, to underscore how awesome Julio is, I myself enrolled in on-on-ones with Julio to learn the fundamentals so I can feel comfortable when I shift into the adult boxing classes.  I'm currently active with these one-on-ones and I have to say...  I'm LOVING IT.  It's good for health, weight and mental stability.   I highly recommend you take a serious look at Team Overtime.   Julio and the team are the absolute best.  I feel I've gained a family here.  One that is standing on solid ground with a common sport that has only added POSITIVE things in this family's lives.

Definitely a place I wouldn't recommend if you want your children to get in good trainings and to…read morebe treated with respect! We started bringing our son here and started having incidents a few months in. I finally got with one of the coaches in a professional way and asked for my child not to be paired up with a specific child due to that child throwing constant tantrums from the beginning of the class to the ending wasting my child's training time. Coach Mason told both me and my husband that child was Autistic but that he would start pairing up our son with other kids so we wouldn't have any more issues and that all coaches would be told about our preference as well. Being a mother myself I completely understand children with special needs and not once did my husband or myself make fun of the child as it's being told by the owner or by the child's parents because if that was the case why didn't anyone come to us like grown adults to discuss it? Julio the owner was nowhere to be seen barely started coming around until this last month so that just shows how involved with his business he is. Yesterday was our last straw! We got up mid training due to an emergency because just like the rest of the parents that have left mid training we ourselves have emergencies too Julio follows myself, my husband and my child all the way outside. He proceeds to tell my husband he wants to talk to him my husband keeps walking doesn't say not one word and Julio proceeds to disrespect him in front of our child asking him if he's a little girl or a man. There was another parent outside who I'm sure heard the whole thing but if needed I can provide video I recorded to show who's really lying about what was told outside. Julio wants to lie and say he didn't say none of this when in fact he did and I can see this is something he does because theirs multiple reviews who state he's rude and I can confirm he in fact is! From the moment this issue was first brought to his general managers attention it was his responsibility to bring it to Julio's attention so he can come talk to us and resolve the issue. Stating he had multiple complains about my husband is so weird to me because not once was my husband approached by ANYONE to discuss his "bad behavior." We even asked the GM Mason if we can end our membership and were told that wasn't possible so if my husbands behavior was so bad like Julio is saying why didn't they let us go when we first asked? Completely shows Julio is lying. Being the second set of parents to request for their child not to be paired up with the same child shows theirs an issue that needs to be fixed! Instead of following your customers outside disrespecting them you should use fix the problems you have going on inside. So glad he did us a favor and cancelled our membership. The fabricated lies that are being said by a grown "man" clearly shows his character.

I've been taking the Tai Chi class here with my mom for several months now, and it has been one of…read morethe best things we've done together. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming from day one. The instructors encourage you to challenge yourself, but they never push you to the point where you dread coming back. They meet you where you are and genuinely want you to succeed. Special shout out to Mandy, who has been our class instructor for the last couple of months and is an absolute gem. What surprised me most is what an amazing workout Tai Chi actually is. It looks slow and gentle, but don't let that fool you--I often leave sweaty. Since starting, I've noticed a huge improvement in my strength, balance, and confidence. A real-life example: I have a 40-pound bulldog who needs to be carried downstairs every morning to go outside. Before Tai Chi, I struggled (and he was a bit afraid). Now I can carry him down an entire flight of stairs without thinking twice, and he seems to really appreciate me not being wobbly on the stairs anymore. That's a pretty noticeable difference. I also appreciate that the class includes people of all ages and abilities. No one is trying to prove they're the strongest or the most athletic. It's just a supportive environment where everyone is working on becoming a little stronger, healthier, and more capable than they were the week before. I also really like how the more advanced students join us at times to help and encourage us. (Hint: If you're looking for a fun group of seniors, join our lunch class on M, W & F) If you've ever been curious about Tai Chi but wondered whether it was "enough" exercise, I can honestly say it has exceeded my expectations. I look forward to every class, and my mom and I always leave feeling better than when we walked in. I'm so glad we decided to give it a try.

My son wanted to start martial…read morearts, so my husband searched through the vendors at his homeschool charter and found Oom Yung Doe in Temecula. When I reached out via their scheduling system to set up a free trial, I was immediately called back and I spoke to Ben the owner. He set up a date and time for my son to visit and try a class that evening. Ben met with all of us first to discuss my son's goals and to explain a little bit about their school and then my son joined the teen class right after. My son loved it and we decided to have him attend classes there. They offer teen classes every evening and morning classes for everyone as well as Saturday morning classes. Ben and his wife, Joy own Oom Yung Doe and are some of the most kind and welcoming people I have met! My son started attending 2.5 months ago and I will tell you, he loves it, but more importantly, his grades have come up and he is doing amazing scholastically! My son took the Star360 (a statewide test) last school year in May and was in the red zone (concerning zone-he has been for most of his school career) and just this week, he is in the blue zone (the zone they want all students to be in). Images attached. We are shocked and so excited for him! We can't wait to watch him grow and change due to the training he is getting at Oom Yung Doe! If you have a child who is struggling with school, please reach out to Ben at Oom Yung Doe and have your child attend a session or two. I attached the website link below. I promise you won't be disappointed and if you attend for a few months, you may see their grades increase like we have! https://meet.oomyungdoe.com/free-consultation-ca
