I came in with absolutely no fighting experience…read moreof any kind, just hoping for something to do while back on break from university, and what I got exceeded all expectations. The facility itself offers a wide range of classes, from cardio kickboxing to Brazilian Jujitsu and many more. All classes and scheduled times can be found online in such an easily accessible and organized manner. I came in specifically for the cardio kickboxing classes and let me just say, Chewy is the absolute best! From the moment I walked in he was an absolute joy to talk to. He was genuinely excited to have me and my two friends trying out the gym (he's very big on teaching self defense and making sure that when we leave we are prepared to handle ourselves in any given situation). He incorporates real life scenarios in our workout which I absolutely loved because it gave me a sense of how I would be able to incorporate what I learned into real life situations. Not to mention his workouts kicked our butts in the best possible way! And not only that but he made sure to cater to all of our individual skills and fitness levels, encouraging and pushing us along the way. If you're someone that has ever had even the slightest interest in trying any of the classes they offer here at Modesto Power then this is the place to try them. I was so nervous about coming in and making a fool of myself but everyone here is so friendly and encouraging that all fears completely disappeared the moment the class began. It's a great workout and an even better experience, I promise you wont be disappointed!

The class started with a warm up which is very good at reducing injuries. The movements and strikes were explained in detail and then demonstrated. Students were carefully observed and given feedback on how they were performing. Praise if doing well and helpful critique if they needed improvement. There was an positive atmosphere in the class and everyone worked together as a team. I immediately signed up after observing the class. They do not lock you into a long term contract. You can go month to month if you'd like. That was refreshing. Their rates are very reasonable for the quality of instruction you are receiving. I went to my first class the next day and received excellent instruction on striking and defense. It was a very good workout as well as teaching self defense and the art of Muay Thai. I will be a student here for a long time. F.Y.I. - they also offer a cardio kickboxing class that'll get you in shape quickly. Give them a try, I highly recommend it.

First Full disclosure : We have never used or personally attended any classes whatsoever! This…read morereview is purely based on in depth phone conversation only that we feel everyone should be made aware of before joining! We were looking for self defense classes because our son was being bullied at Traina Elementary so we thought to build our son's self confidence , mind, body and spirit as well if needed defend himself so we where attracted to American Top/Traditional Martial Arts called several and all answered phone except this one so left message and about 2 days later received call back and this is my understanding of that phone conversation . 1. 49.00 Special advertised: is 49.00 for 2 days a week for 2 weeks. Its a trail offer to see if you like the class or not from others I've called offer trials are for free But this one charges! I don't have any issue with this so I give it 3 stars as its just ok. 2. If you like the class and wish to proceed they charge 1 time $89.00 Enrollment fee Why ? and what's it used for is beyond me ? Most to my knowledge don't charge any Enrollment fee and since it goes to nothing and no uniform I see that as money in the facilities pockets so I give them 1 star in times with COVID AND JOB LOSSES I see this as a major negative impact on the consumer! 3. THIS ONE WAS THE MAJOR DECIDING FACTOR THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF: They will make you sign a 12 month revolving contract with a 3rd party vendor from what I have heard has poor reviews with BBB that American Top Team/Traditional Martial Arts Studio has no control over and I as well as others need to be cautious of and read the contract very carefully! I did not read this contract because I have never been to the facility but, I did ask lots of questions and offered to pay 12 months in cash in advanced but apparently that wasn't an option! Why ? Use you imagination. If I was to guess I would say someone is making money from you or I by signing those contract because this 3rd party are not processing payments for free and martial arts studio has to be making money as well for their time in explaining and having you sign those contract ! something is not right and everyone needs to be aware of that . On a personal note : I don't understand why the Studio Are unable or unwilling to process there own recurring payments because I deal with small and some large companies all the time and some have lots of customers and every one of them process their own recurring payments as its done all the time without the need for any contract to make the customer feel comfortable instead of trapped into some contract . there just has to be an easier way: so for this I give (- 1 star) Very Disappointing phone call !

I've been training with Team Dumdumaya since the summer of 2015. Before Andre welcomed me into his…read morespace, I was a wanderer who didn't really have a home gym. I trained everywhere, but called no place home. I originally started at Cesar's in Pleasant Hill, same as Andre. Andre is the first coach I've ever had who invested in me and actually cared about my Jiu Jitsu journey. He didn't see me as some dumb girl on the mat, but a valuable training partner. And he treated me that way. Being a woman coming up in this sport is different and I've most often been looked at as not a worthwhile training partner. But not with Andre. I've learned more from him than any coach I've ever trained under. He's a great coach and a good man. He has excellent leadership, coaching, and teaching sense. He breaks down the technique in a clear and straightforward way to make it simple to learn and then execute. The school is laid back and without ego but that doesn't mean we don't train hard. The team has something for most everyone. Andre's hired great coaches under him- fellow black belts James Carlson, Richie Storelee, and his son Cyrus Dumdumaya. There's adult coed Jiu Jitsu classes and women's and children's Jiu Jitsu classes, plus Muy Thai and MMA classes. My whole family trains here. I'm proud to say both my 14 year old daughter and 9 year old son started here and have grown in confidence and technique with Andre and then Gabe and now Cyrus as their coaches. My husband joined the team a year or so after we got married in 2018 and brought his son as well. The place is super family-oriented. Multiple families from grandparents on down to grandkids train there. All in all, it's a great place to train. I call it home. Come check it out, the first class is always free.
