    Really cool dojo. They offer open mats on sundays which is super cool and I hope to make it down there soon.

    Very overpriced dojo. The instructor does not explain things very well. Would strongly advice to go somewhere else.

    I was looking for a place nearby, and have always wanted to train Jiu Jitsu after watching the UFC.

    My girls have been going to Sunnyvale jiujitsu for about a year and have had a great experience…read more They're learning new skills in a fun and supportive environment. The coaches are great and the girls were even able to compete in a tournament less than a year in. The training has helped them develop strength, skills, and confidence. Jian and his team are great (amazing that his wife, Bri, knew my name basically from the very beginning as well) and run a great place for kids (and people of all ages) to learn jiujitsu.

    I've been training for over a decade, on both coasts, and across multiple schools. I've trained at…read morecollege clubs, hobbyist gyms, and schools with world class competitors/instructors. When COVID hit and I had 2 kids, I took a hiatus from BJJ for a few years. When I returned to the sport, I knew I was going to be picky about where I chose my next gym to be. Joining Sunnyvale Jiu Jitsu was a no brainer for me. The vibes: immaculate. It's no surprise that with little to no marketing or online presence to date, they've been able to build up a solid base of students (both new as well as transfers from other schools) simply through word of mouth. It is a family friendly environment, with high skill and low ego. The quality of instruction: top notch. A lot of gyms you go to teach haphazardly at best. Jian probably spends more time thinking about the best way to structure his classes than he does on anything else. He's familiar with everyone's individual style and is always looking to help optimize their specific game. The training: tough. There are enough high level people here that I can go through an entire 2 hour open mat only rolling with brown and black belts if I wanted to.

It's clear coach Bill and their team genuinely enjoy coaching. They're real students of the game studying tactics and strategy practiced by the best. I am grateful my family and I found this place. My kids have gained so much from being here. If you're considering joining foor either your or your children my wife and I give modern training academy the highest of recommendations.

    My five-year-old son started with Modern Training Academy mid 2024. We were introduced to the gym…read moreby family friends Darren and Grace. They have three boys that are simply amazing in the art form. We started to attend and immediately recognized the skill level of the coaches, MASTER Evon, Coach Scott, and Coach Mike. They have taught my kid the discipline of the art, the respectfulness that comes with their style of training and the patience and perseverance used to teach and groom to all those that attend! Myself and my wife feel especially blessed to have their coaches in our lives and have groomed my son to be excited, involved and experienced, especially in the art of taekwondo along with the other classes they offer that include jiu-jitsu and wrestling. If you are looking for a gym, whether you are a younger child, teenager or an adult, I highly recommend this gym. The coaches are very keen on teaching the students the art and appear to have a very experienced successful background from a high-level and have been coaching for many moons. If you are not a student and are interested in any of these art forms please check this gym out. It will help your kid to grow, get skilled in the art of self-defense and become more disciplined along with really having a great time. Never a dull moment at the gym! I really wanna commend MASTER Evon and Coach Scott along with Coach Mike for their dedication to the students as they never miss any time when it comes to practice and motivate the kids to be great and want to do well. Many thanks to Modern Training Academy...you gotta check it out.

    I cannot recommend KravZone highly enough, especially for parents looking to enroll their children…read morein Krav Maga classes. My experience with their kids' program has been nothing short of exceptional, hats off to the incredible instructor, Travis! From day one, it was evident that Travis was not only highly skilled in Krav Maga but also knew the knack of teaching and working with children. Whether a child was struggling with a technique or excelling at it, Travis was present very watchfully, providing guidance, support, and positive reinforcement. One of the things that stood out to me the most was Travis's ability to create a supportive and encouraging environment for the kids. Moreover, he has a unique talent for breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-understand steps, making it accessible and observable for children of all skill levels. What stood out to me in particular was his own values, principles and attitude which in my opinion are of paramount importance especially while teaching life skills to others. Beyond his technical expertise, Travis also instilled important values such as team work, discipline, respect, and self-confidence in the children. Through his teaching, my child not only gained valuable self-defense skills but also developed a sense of empowerment and self-assurance that extends beyond the mat. Beth, who is also an instructor and helps with the front desk, is extremely patient and helpful with any questions and a great teacher herself from the classes I've observed! If you're considering enrolling your child in Krav Maga classes, look no further than Krav Zone!

    My daughter and I really enjoy doing the Krav and cub classes. My only complaint is that our class…read morestarts late almost every time and the time does not get made up because another class starts right afterwards. I do agree that it's good to warm up before starting classes but I feel that there might be too much time running back-and-forth. Occasionally it feels like a way to keep us busy while they are speaking to other people. We've had a couple classes with Beth, she is very nice and patient with the little ones. Travis was our main coach for a few months and I can tell the older kids work better with him. They only have beginner and advanced classes. It would be nice to have an intermediate class as well. I think in general more classes would be helpful as you cannot graduate to certain belts unless you are taking two classes a week. We signed up for a year and will plan to continue for as long as possible. I do recommend this place. * updated to add that now that school has started, they just brought in another trainer (Shlomi) to teach the older kids since the class size has doubled. He is very good at teaching new techniques properly. I feel that he is the best match for my yellow belt 8 year old.
