The payment was for work arranged through Diego. I was told my car would be finished in 2 days, but it was kept for 9 days. When I finally got it back, much of the work I paid for was either incomplete or poorly done, and my vehicle had additional damage. The spoiler was installed incorrectly, multiple unnecessary holes were drilled into my trunk, and the car was returned without being properly cleaned or polished. I have payment records, messages, photos, and documentation of the damage to support what I am stating here. I have also reported the matter through the appropriate official and legal channels. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend being extremely careful when dealing with these people and documenting everything in writing.

I had…read moreabsolutely no knowledge of kickboxing, so I thought this would be a place where I could learn from the beginning, especially since I was hoping Nam Phan would guide beginners like me. But honestly, my experience was very bad. I came on a Saturday and arrived about 20 minutes early. When I told him I had never trained in martial arts or kickboxing before, instead of giving me basic guidance, he seemed annoyed that I didn't know anything. Then he told me to warm up by myself. When I came back, there was only one other student there, and that person had only been training for about a month. But the person who actually showed me what to do was that student, not Nam Phan. During training, Nam Phan briefly demonstrated a few moves and then told me to practice with the other student as if I had already been training for a long time. I was a complete beginner, so it was honestly very difficult to keep up. Throughout the entire session, he only corrected me once, but kept yelling loudly at me whenever I made mistakes. I felt extremely uncomfortable but still tried to continue training. Since it was my first class, I also didn't know what I needed to prepare. Before I came, he specifically told me I didn't need to bring anything. But when training started, he suddenly asked if I had boxing gloves. When I said no, he threw the gloves he was holding onto the ground aggressively and asked in an irritated tone why I didn't prepare anything. Throughout the whole session, the way he spoke and his attitude made me feel like I was being scolded for not knowing anything instead of being guided as a beginner. He spoke Vietnamese very quietly and unclearly, so many times I couldn't even understand what he was saying. That training session made me feel extremely bad and uncomfortable. I came in wanting to try and learn a new sport, but instead I only felt pressure and negativity from beginning to end.

Whether you aspire to become the next UFC champion, or be capable of defending yourself in a life…read morethreatening situation, grappling definitely needs to become part of your repertoire, in addition to striking. You must know how to defend yourself and be comfortable with fighting on the ground. I had started taking Pradal Serey for a while as my choice of striking technique, which I was very happy about (see my review for Long Beach Kickboxing Center), and decided to commit to a form of grappling. Previously I had taken Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for a while, but this was at a very small school which had some issues, so I left after a couple of months there. (I learned an awesome front collar choke there that I used happily many times at OCK on others, until I was told that this particular choke was not allowed in Judo, DOH!) Anyway, I was watching a UFC event and was introduced to a young in his prime Karo Parisyan, who displayed some awesome judo throws during his fight. I did some more research into judo and found that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is actually derived from Judo ground techniques, and that "Newaza" is an area of judo that is solely dedicated to ground fighting. Luckily for me, I found an awesome judo that was literally 2 minutes away from my house! OCK in da hizzzzzzy. The head instructor, Sensei Tony Okada, was a 1992 Olympic Judo competitor along with having many more impressive accomplishments. I sent a couple of emails asking some questions and relaying my concerns from my last experience at a grappling school, and the contact person answered all my questions and replied about my concerns. I went to the dojo to enroll, and sat with Tony's wife to discuss enrollment. I think the minimum enrollment was 6 months, (which is EFT'd from your account monthly) but I signed up for 12 months as the rates are better as the contract length gets higher. I believe the price went up since I was at OCK, but while I was there my monthly rate was 45 dollars, which is a ridiculous deal for three 90 minute sessions a week! I had my old gi from Jiu Jitsu so I threw it on and headed to my first class. Usually there is about 15-20 people per class. Session starts off with running around the perimeter of the dojo for a couple of minutes, and then countless warm up exercises and drills which range from mild to hot damn in difficulty. Then comes throwing form drills with a partner, sometimes some new techniques are taught, and then move into many rounds of randori (sparring) both stand up and on the ground. Sparring is done at full strength and is excellent for developing skills and confidence. Afterwards, sprint drills to put the final beatdown on your body. The only concern that I had at first was that people didnt want to spar with me cause I was bigger than them, but that wasn't the case at all. Everyone was more than happy to spar with me, and those who could always tried to offer good feedback and advice. Doing this even once or twice a week is a great way to stay in shape, but doing it all three nights put me into excellent shape. I improved a great amount during the time I spent training there, learned how to send people flying to the ground head first if needed as well as being completely comfortable fighting on the ground off my back as well as being on top. (Positions that I was not wholly unfamiliar with in other endeavors) Everyone who trains at OCK is respectful, friendly, and willing to help. There are many senseis who teach at OCK, and often there will be 2 or more in each class. Excellent way to get insanely good at judo and stay in top notch shape. If you are considering taking up grappling such as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I would recommend that you look into Judo as well. OCK Judo is the real deal and will not dissapoint!
