Wonderful environment focused on discipline in the studio and at home. Positive and uplifting environment. Fun activities. The young people teaching are amazing young people and athletes and are an amazing reflection on the studio. Chief Master Jaime commands respect and could not be better with the kids. Would highly recommend. read more

Evolution Martial Arts - Rocklin - Martial Arts Near Me - Rocklin, California

In my opinion this studio is beyond bad. It came recommended as one of two martial arts studios for children on the spectrum. My 5 year old grandson's first session went well with the instructor saying he did well. At his second session the owner was present and told the instructor, before the class started, to move my grandson off the mat thus segregating him from the class. The owner then proceeded to play with his cell phone well into the session ignoring him. The owner then asked his mother and _____to step outside and stated he felt taekwondo was not good for him. His mother then asked the owner to call her before his next session. The owner did not call but left it up to the instructor at the scheduled session to her tell her "outside" the studio, they were not welcome. read more

We have absolutely loved our years so far at Evolution Martial arts! All of the instructors are so kind and encouraging. They also put on "parents night out" as well as summer camps that my boys have loved going to. They make everything so much fun! read more

What an amazing Martial Arts academy. They're also a great group of people! My kids are extremely happy. Their confidence has increased a lot!. They also have many activities throughout the month to bring families together! Our bond is definitely stronger now. I appreciate it. Definitely beyond my expectations! read more

My 6yo son started attending taekwondo class here at JMA a month ago now. My main goal for him joining is for us to work on his focus. And since he's a very shy sensitive kid, I really want him to learn at least the basics of self-defense and self-confidence. I appreciate JMA's patience on my kid (and to the other kids) since my kid's attention do wander off too many times. He's also learning so much about respect and leadership, and he still has a long way to go. This class serves as a constant reminder for him to keep working on his manners and focus. He likes his instructors a lot, and is still getting to know his classmates. He's always looking forward to going to his taekwondo class. I have recommended JMA to our friends as well. NS. read more

We've been with JMA for a year now and my kids still look forward to attending their class. Not only do they teach self defense but also life skills such as respect, confidence, discipline. All the instructors are amazing. They are all very supportive, kind, and encouraging. Most of all, they make the class FUN for the kids! read more

Evolution MA is a 5 star program. The instructors teach a comprehensive program that builds confidence, strength, communication skills, leadership, self-control and many other positive qualities for students. My 7 year old son has been with Evolution for 2 years now and is still as passionate about his training as he was in the beginning. I appreciate the good work Chief Master Jaime and the team do for my son and his fellow students. I highly recommend this program if you are looking for a high quality, fun, engaging taekwondo program. read more

This place really focuses on respect accountability and the ability to protect oneself. Really great for the kids! My grandson loves his classes! read more

Evolution Martial Arts has been a life changing experience. Since my time training there, I have learned many pillars that are important to my life in the future such as Communication, Respect, Belief, Discipline, Honesty, and Self Esteem. It is such an amazing experience and I recommend it to everyone. read more

Coming to Jamie's from a different studio was initially not easy, but we've seen so much improvement in our son's confidence and abilities to perform skills that I honestly thought were out of his range. They challenge students who want to be challenged and we love how they incorporate student instructors to bring different energy and leadership styles while demonstrating what they're teaching is possible. Not to mention, we love their camps and special parents night outs. And the fact that they offered online classes during the height of covid and lock downs. read more

Truly couldn't be happier with them. They teach important life skills and the owners and instructors are absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend! read more

Jaimes martial arts have been a very strong encouragement for my kids over time. Chief Master Jaime and his wonderful team has taught my kids self control and discipline together with mastering the forms and self defense techniques every class. I would highly recommend joining his amazing team and watching your kids excel in becoming better leaders. read more

Jaime's Martial Arts has been so good for my son! He started at Age 4, and the structure and discipline in the program has been such a help for my son's behavior. The instructors are so patient, yet energetic, and they really seek to support the students. Highly recommend! read more

This place is horrible!!!!! I came in for a tryout class with my 5 year old son who has Autism but is high-functioning. I let the coach or trainer (however you call that piece of nothing) about his condition. It's bad enough that he has a condition, yet alone it is his first class ever. No one directed him on what to do whatsoever and then in the end he shamed my son in front of all the people for not doing what the class is doing. I am home no trying to calm my son down who now has been traumatized by this experience and probably will hate martial arts for life!! read more

Our kids loved their taewondo classes at Jaimes Martial Art! All of their instructors are kind and fun.

Jaime's Martial Arts has been a wonderful place for our kids to learn wonderful life skills. Chief Master Jaime and all the instructors are amazing teachers who have a lot of patience and dedication towards the students. I will totally recommend to join. read more

My son is 6 yo and he enjoys his classes and he really likes his instructors. He has been learning more about responsibility and respect.

A family owned business with a great work ethic and professionalism. They care about the kids, want to see the kids progress and enjoy it at the same time. The instructors work very well with kids and are very dedicated and knowledgeable. Great place to learn self confidence, social skills, management of stress read more

What no stars??? Of course not. It is apparent Jaime cares about his wallet more than anything else. Is it right to charge a family $50 for a belt the kid doesn't deserve. Oh wait every is getting a belt don't want to leave little Johnny behind. I love this one, your four year old is doing really great. You should consider the leadership route and little Johnny can be a black belt. Oh and the best is having to buy their cheap crap for a few hundred bucks. You can save yourself money and buy our on Ebay or Craigslist. Friends have you ever heard of a scam? Jaime's ATA is a scam. Sorry calling it like I see it. read more

Jaime's has been amazing for my 16 year old son. He has transformed into a confident, well-adjusted young man from a shy, reserved 7th grader whose goal was to goal the entire day without having to speak in class (other than to his friends). When we first began he refused to do competitions or sparring, this April he will be in Nationals with his red belt recommended. After about 6 weeks into the Leadership program, my son started receiving positive notes home from his teachers because they noticed a difference in him too. He was more confident and vocal in class. It gets a little pricey, but the benefits outweighs the costs. read more

The issue with Jaime's Martial Arts is that it is part of the American Tae Kwon Do Association (ATA). The ATA program is designed to suck parents' money in. That is why it has the nick name "Take My Dough". First , they offer a class for kids at $75 a month with a signed contract. They also offered a leadership class for an additional $50 a month but did not explain that if the kids do not join, they cannot be part of many of the activities and training necessary to obtain certain belt levels. Only after joining did we find out the whole truth about the leadership class. Also, ATA requires that certain ATA equipment be purchased including a specific bag that holds the equipment. Non-ATA equipment is not allowed to be used even though it is comparable. The equipment costs around $400 even though comparable equipment costs half as much. The monthly fees do not include the belt testing or the belts themselves. Parents have to pay every time their child is ready to test, which seems to happen quite often. Through the two years, I never saw a child who was held back during the belt test. Why would they, that would turn off the money faucet. They play on parents' guilt by offering special training and camps and then give speeches about how attending them is the only way little 'johnny' or 'sally' will ever advance or be part of the team. Of course, the extra training and camps are not cheap. So perhaps Master Jaime is not in it for the money but he is in bed with an association that is. Guilt by association, I say. read more

First, I concur with Ron D's review of Jaime's Academy. Jaime's Black Belt Academy located at 6835 Lonetree Blvd Ste 101, Rocklin, CA 95765 is a McDojo. If you are not familiar with the term McDojo please look it up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDojo. Jaime's ATA is purely profit motivated. The students learn little or no real skills or discipline. Students receive their higher ranking belts based on attendance not performance. They will tell you your child is doing great and should enter leadership only because leadership costs more. Jaime's ATA preaches honesty, integrity, honor, and respect while filing for bankruptcy to avoid paying their lease, employees, and other bills (case number 09-24551-C-7 filed on 04/23/2009 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Eastern District of California, Sacramento). Friends do your research before choosing a Karate/TaeKwondo academy for your child. read more

My daughter is 7 years old and has been going here since December. As a young girl she was shy and not vocal but because of the encouragement, leadership trading, and how they teach to believe in yourself while respecting others. She is now more confident, more vocal in believing in herself, and loves being part leadership were she enjoys being challenged. She has advanced 4 belts and not just because it was time, she earned it and worked hard. My wife and I feel this is great place for your child to grow in respect and confidence for their future I endeavors. Some people from long time ago complain about cost. I've looked at other martial arts and Tae Kwon Do Studios. There isn't much different in cost for programs, and equipment. Oh by the way if your kid isn't cutting it or not really into it.... Uhhh you do have the power (your the parent) to pull him/her out and try new things. It's a matter of what your child gets out of it and if it's worth it. For my daughter it is definitely worth it. read more

Great experience for my kids. They got great exercise while learning to be better children. Master Jamie was a great influence. Oh, and my kids loved the sparring... read more

I have seen my nephew grow from being a boy who wouldn't make any decisions on his own to being super confident in things he does and says. He is the most respectful little boy and highly looks up to all the Masters here. This staff cares about the kids and wants to see them be successful. Highly recommended read more

My daughter started coming here as a shy 7 year old. She is now a confident, strong young lady. The instructors here are wonderful and really care about their students succeeding, not only in Taekwondo, but in everyday life. read more

Great experience. I would recommend Jaimes ATA to anyone. He's great with the kids and extremely knowledgeable, which benefits the adult students too. Great school! read more

The only reason I'm even giving one star is because I don't have the option of giving NEGATIVE stars. Our experience at Jamie's ATA was THE WORST!! Ron D said it right in his review..."Jamie cares about his wallet more than anything else". That is 100% true. Every other week we were shelling out money for testing and belts even though our son was 4 and by NO means ready to test. We had hoped for a positive and uplifting experience, but instead ended up several thousand dollars in the hole and extremely frustrated. Don't even get me started on the cancellation process...AWFUL! STAY AWAY FOLKS! read more

Jaime's Martial Arts is Incredible! My son had issues with self confidence and performing in front of people, after 6 months attending this martial arts program he had dramatically changed for the better. I am very pleased with Mr Jaime & his program read more

My 4 year old son has been attending Jaime's for 9 months now, and we couldn't be happier! My son asked to start martial arts last fall, and my husband and I had no idea what to expect or where to start. We did some research and trial classes at a few different places and instantly felt at home at Jaime's. They were very welcoming and patient with our several questions and walking us through how martial arts works (including belts) and how the school works. Master Jaime (and the other instructors) are SO good with and patient with the kids, while also instilling discipline in a positive manner - exactly what my son needs! They have been so great through Covid too, offering lots of extra online classes and events (like virtual Easter egg hunt) all for free. My son loves their camps as well. Their class prices and belt testing are comparable to every other gym we looked into, and their camps are comparable to any other camp through a school or parks and rec. We would highly recommend Jaime's, they make you feel like family! read more

Great place to learn and get in shape. Helps body and mind by focused workouts. I love this workout .

I guess if you are seeking enjoyment, fitness, respect, and perserverance you would look to karate as a great addition to your childs overall wellbeing. Our child orginally signed up becasue he thought it was fun and I wanted him to "be involved" not sit in front of video games all week. I did not realize that his participation in Jamie's ATA has helped him in school and relationships with other students. He has learned to listen more in class, be more responsible, and finsh goals. We will continue to attend Jamies ATA untll which time our son seeks out other interests. Their flexiable class schedule has allowed our son to still participate in other sports and activities. I felt compelled to write a blog on Yelp as I can see others have felt very differently about Jamie's. Complaining that Senior Master Jamie only cares about his wallet is like saying you would go to work and not get paid. This is his place of business, and this is America where a man can earn a living doing what he loves. If you don't see the value in paying for a skillset for your child than good luck finding other teaching sources that do not cost any money. Personally the cost is difficult for our family. With the economy both my husband and I have lost several jobs and it is not easy for us. I do wish there could be a reduction in cost for longer term students who are in for the long haul. I have had friends interested in ATA for their child but when I tell them the price they don't think they can afford it and don't look into it further. I do feel with reduced rates (or gradually reducing with longivity) would help Master Jamie gain and retain more students. A person that cannot open their own wallet for their child cannot be perswaded. read more
