I've never, ever left a bad review, and I slept on this review for over a year as i didn't want to…read morepost it but I felt obligated to now. I've been training martial arts over 25 years and the only problems I've ever had have been with the IMB Academy. The head instructor Steven is a nice guy, but he simply has no business being the leader of such a school after the great Richard Bustillo passed. He's apathetic/oblivious and poor at communication and follow up. The final straw for me was when me and my training partner had a scheduled call to discuss our training and Steven completely flaked and never called. I then emailed him to tell him I'm done, and of course he didn't care or inquire as to why I'm done, especially after I had been so dedicated to the IMB. Look elsewhere if you are a serious martial artist and avoid IMB at all costs!

Update, I had forgot to add that though my son had left this school to focus on his high school…read morestudies at CAMS in his sophomore year, he returned in his collegiate years as a cadet in the U.S. Air Force Academy and was welcomed with open arms a few times to train with the late, Great Sifu Richard Bustillo, Rex, Mark, Nicole, and staff... My son eventually became a two-time National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA) Champion and was awarded by the tournament referees as the best boxer in the lower weight class in 2016 & 2017! https://youtu.be/Zlk9doqkK3s Rest In Peace and Thank You again Sifu Richard Bustillo, all IMB Staff and practitioners, past, present, & future! You will never find a better place to train mind, body, and Spirit... this place is it!

I've been eyeing Machida Karate Academy since I was pregnant with my firstborn. I had always…read moredreamed of enrolling him here because of the incredible reviews and the connection to someone my husband has admired for decades Lyoto Machida. When we first started dating, he told me about Lyoto, and it felt like destiny that our son would one day train at a place tied to someone we both respected. Back then, the youngest age accepted was 4, so I had to wait patiently. When my son was 3.5, I reached out to the dojo to plan ahead, and that's when I met Sensei Caroline the sweetest, most professional guide you could hope for. I also had the honor of meeting Chinzo Machida. He is incredibly humble and professional, even with a 4-year-old student, which immediately put me at ease. My son absolutely loved his time there. He would talk about it constantly, excited for every lesson, every practice. Unfortunately, after about two months, I realized he wasn't quite ready for the level of discipline and structure required yet, and I didn't want him or the class to struggle. I spoke with Sensei Caroline honestly, and she was completely supportive, encouraging us to return when the time felt right. This academy deserves every ounce of respect and recognition. The environment, the instructors, and the care they put into their students are truly exceptional. I can't wait for the day we come back and fully experience all that Machida Academy has to offer.

My daughter recently started at Machida Karate Academy in Lomita, and I couldn't be happier with…read morethe experience so far. From the very first class, the instructors made her feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. They strike a perfect balance between discipline and encouragement, firm when they need to be, but always positive and patient. What really stands out is how intentional they are about teaching both skill and character. My daughter is already showing more confidence, focus, and respect at home, and she looks forward to every class (which says a lot!). The lessons are well-structured, engaging, and age-appropriate, and the instructors truly take the time to help each student improve at their own pace. The academy itself is clean, organized, and clearly run with a lot of pride. Parents get a great view of the classes, and it's easy to see how much care and attention goes into each session.
