First time visiting a UFC gym facility. Upon entering I was greeted at the front desk by Gabe, who…read morewas very welcoming and friendly. He then connected me with Josh (in sales), who introduced himself and gave me a thorough tour of the entire facility. He addressed all my questions about the gym and the individual equipment. Although, I was here only for a day pass, the staff treated me as if I was considering a full time membership. This spoke volumes of the company's commitment to providing each potential member with the same respect regardless if they ultimately decided to purchase a membership or not. Kudos, to both Josh and Gabe for their professionalism and outstanding customer service. I'd ask management acknowledge them in some fashion for their good works. When visiting Los Angeles and in need of a workout UFC is the place.

Master Lee = Amazing. We chose this studio over two years ago and I have watched my kids grow in body, mind and Spirit (no pun intended). The staff here from Master Cyril in the older days through the current staff have been nothing short of great. They are delicate where they need to be and tough when needed. They very much specialize in children. The studio has built and maintains a community feeling. They have definitely served the youth of La Mirada and the surrounding community by teaching discipline, confidence and self defense. They even participate in local tournaments if you are ready and they echo that sentiment. The sport of Taekwondo is definitely a great introduction to martial arts that develops flexibility, strength and balance. I'm very appreciative to Taekwondo Spirit for what my children have learned through them. Humility seems to flow through this place with nothing but respect given by and to everyone. The only "negative" I could even consider about the location is that the parking lot could get tight in the afternoon hours with the neighboring gym.

This studio will always have a special place in my heart as being the only studio that was willing…read moreto accept my nonverbal autistic son and give him private lessons. I had tried another studio in Whittier who are through the Regional Center (Victory Tae Kwon Do) but unfortunately even free lessons through were not worth it in comparison to here. My son was trained by master Cyril for about 1 year before their lack of availability and our school schedule conflicted to the point of no longer being able to fit us in. The studio is small so understandable, just sad. I realize teaching autistic kids is not their specialty, but I had gone to one other local studio in La Habra that basically turned us away because they didn't want to do the hands on work it takes to teach a child that lacks imitation skills, while another in Fullerton was extremely overpriced and for only 15 minute sessions in addition to being too far. I hope to come back to this studio soon if they have the availability.

My children (one with ADHD) have been training at this academy for over a year, and the experience…read morehas been exceptional. What stands out immediately is the depth of instruction; he teaches actual technique rather than just a general physical education (PE). The classes balance the technicality of martial arts with core values like discipline, confidence, and respect, all while maintaining a lighthearted, age-appropriate environment that keeps the kids engaged and having fun. He truly goes the extra mile for his students and their families, hosting seasonal events that foster a wonderful sense of community. In speaking with him and observing his classes, it is clear he is both a proficient master of his craft and a genuinely good person. That warmth and patience clearly stems from his own experience as a father who has raised several children of his own. I highly recommend this academy. The rates are fair, and the environment is incredibly sincere. If you are looking for a place for yourself or your children to train, I encourage you to stop in and observe a class.

My son has been at this academy for a little over a month now. Since then my wife and I have…read morenoticed a change in our son's behavior, mostly in his self esteem and discipline. I can definitely see how this training can help my son in all aspects of life. My son was a bit reluctant to join and even gave us trouble in the beginning when it was time to go train but now it's something that he looks forward to. Coach Mark and his team are very courteous and attentive. They treat the children like their own. They teach physical and mental toughness as well as empathy and good sportsmanship. I recommend Gridlock academy all my friends and family.

Can I tell you how obessed I am with this place? It's become a real home for my two boys. I was…read morereferred here by my friend who sends her two boys here. I orginally wanted something very structured for my kiddo with ASD. I ended up signing both my kids up (6 and 4yrs) and they have thrived in this program. They work so well with my older ASD kiddo (now 8yrs) and my little ninja (now 5yrs). They both love coming to class, the sensei(s) are so so great with all the kids (on the spectrum or not). They know how to challenge them without overwhelming them or making them feel bad about themselves. They give them the grace to make mistakes. They are so so flexible. It has been amazing to see the change in my older son. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! Highly recommend.

We originally signed up our 3 year old who is energetic and wild so that he could be in a fun yet…read morestructured setting where he learns what discipline is and gets his energy out all at the same time. A few months in and we were almost going to give up as he was not making progress. However, after a quick chat with the Sensei, he made some adjustments that may seem little to him, but impacted our toddler and how we viewed each class. I have also seen other parents bring up concerns or feedback to the Senseis and instructors and noticed they do their very best to accommodate and/or adjust based on it. I also love the flexibility of the schedule. Some weeks we are busier than others but it is very nice that there's no need to call in or commit to specific days of the week. The times are perfect as well, especially for parents who might live further and don't get off work until 5pm. Each Sensei and instructor has been very patient, creative, and still fun with my toddler and other kids in the class. Every kid is so different yet they're able to manage the class with various personalities and energy levels. I also love that they do not exclude anyone! It is a safe space for any kid, young adult, or adult to build confidence and enjoy something where they are their own person. If you're unsure which dojo to try, they offer a free trial class so you can observe and get a feel for it.

This review has been long overdue, and I'm so glad I finally had the chance to write it…read more About a year ago, I decided I wanted my boys to start jiu-jitsu. As a mom, I believe it's so important for children to learn basic self-defense not because I expect something bad to happen, but because I want them to have the confidence and skills to protect themselves if they ever need to. At first, my boys were nervous and intimidated. We visited a few schools before making a decision, but from the moment we walked into Teragi, we knew this place was different. Everyone made us feel like family. The professors and coaches are exceptional not only because of their experience and skill, but because they genuinely care about every child. They encourage, support, and meet each child where they are. I especially want to mention my youngest. Jiu-jitsu didn't come naturally to him at first, and he struggled to understand the techniques. The professors and coaches were incredibly patient and never made him feel like he was behind. They allowed him to learn at his own pace, and now it's amazing to see how much his confidence and skills have grown. That patience meant so much to our family. There's no pressure for kids to be the best. Every child learns differently, and the professors and coaches truly understand that. Since we homeschool, Teragi has become more than just a place to train. My boys have made wonderful friendships, and we've found an incredible community. I also have to mention how clean the academy is! It never has that old gym smell and is always welcoming. I've watched both of my boys grow not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. They're more confident, disciplined, and respectful. If you're on the fence about jiu-jitsu because you don't like the idea of your child being on the ground, I completely understand. I felt the same way. But the reality is that many real-life self-defense situations end up on the ground, and knowing what to do can make all the difference. Thank you, Teragi, for creating such an incredible environment for our children. We are so grateful to be part of the Teragi family, and I couldn't recommend this academy more.

The owners, professors, and coaches have cultivated a superb gym culture. This gym is safe, friendly, and supportive. The facility is modern and clean, and they've invested in a foam block subfloor beneath the mats for softer landings. As far as I know, this is the only gym in the area that offers women-only classes four times per week and a bi-monthly community open mat for gentlemen 40 years and older. My kids train here after school 4-5 days a week, and they love it. The kids' professors and coaches are experienced and amazing teachers. I'm especially thankful for the young coaches who were so patient and kind to my boys when they were hesitant and shy after first starting. And my pocketbook is especially thankful for the discounted rates for additional family members. If you're looking for a place where the whole family can train, grow, and feel welcome, I can't recommend Teragi highly enough.
