The Man, The Myth, The Legend lol

No doubt one of the best instructor that I ever had! I've been eyeing this MMA dojo for quite some time now and promise myself when I get my new job, I will join.. and I did! Their new place looks niceee and convenient to the public since it's located in a plaza. Everybody is friendly and accommodating; it feels like family whenever I enter this place.. no ego and everybody is having a good time learning the art :) I had a handful of martial arts instructors growing up and they're all very helpful developing my skills til now, but the degree Professor Danny delivers is to the point and no BS. Granted, I came from a traditional martial art system, Prof Danny refines it and let me be as my own martial artist, specifically the kickboxing part. Those little adjustments like for example: keeping my hands up for defense all the time.. he really emphasized those details and I greatly appreciate it. I did a little Brazilian Jiujitsu before from Atos, which helped me stay calm on the ground, However they emphasized in No-Gi here and I was trilled because of its more realistic approach than putting on a Gi. I enjoy when Prof. Danny combines our BJJ and striking together cause I feel like an MMA fighter haha. I really enjoy going to this class every single time that I can.. I truly believe I found the place for me to improve my skills :) Overall, I highly recommend this place to fellow martial artist and those who wants to learn to defend themselves :)

After 2 years away from BJJ. I got back into it and I'm glad I did. Danny is an awesome professor. Down to earth and very detailed. He doesn't just show you one move and that's it for the day. He chains techniques so you don't just get to that position and not know what to do. Highly recommend Socal Combat Club.

Been doing some kind of sports or martial arts for a while.. was looking to transition into MMA, BJJ and more live training. My personal requirements in a school was good instruction as a priority and an overall positive environment. Having been to many different types of schools, I know that the culture and school environment is probably the #1 most important factor conducive to learning. Instruction: I wanted top quality bjj and grappling instruction. I also sought out a school that would teach wrestling and take downs, versus a straight sport bjj school. Danny's a well versed 2nd degree black belt and his style of teaching is easy to follow. He has fight experience at the amateur and professional level and that translates to more comprehensive knowledge of all ranges. Also, all the other instructors are very friendly and will help you get better. Coaches roll and spar on a regular basis, and given the close environment you get very hands-on teaching. I never felt like I was lost or no one was paying attention. Culture: Very close knit and family-like environment. The instructors are close to one another and are friends, and that trickles down to how the students interact with everyone else. There is no disrespect or ego clashes. It also encourages growth in learning as I have no concern whether or not I get "tapped" by someone else for trying something new or experimenting to learn. Classes: I appreciate the somewhat informal aspect to classes. A lot of the big martial arts centers start class on the dot. (for example 6pm and end exactly at 7pm) Sometimes at those places if it starts late or something comes up, class is cut short. The class schedule here is later on at night and open mat/practice goes on until close. I never feel like class was too short. While the environment is friendly and not super rigid, there is still structure in general, as well as in the curriculum. BJJ is offered in a very diverse platform, with both no-gi classes and gi classes. Takedowns, submission wrestling and leglocks are all part of the curriculum as well. I'm going to also add that you can tell Coach Danny is very cognizant of preventing injury and when working takedowns or leglocks, there are precautions set in place. Price: Cheaper than most schools esp for the level of instruction you get. No contract and had no issue with billing so far. Demographic: People of all walks of life. Big dudes, little dudes, medium. Strong, lanky, tall. A good number of girls which seems to be increasing steadily. Everyone is friendly and respectful. Overall the school is very comprehensive and caters well to the individual. If you just want an outlet for stress or to exercise couple times a week, that's great. If you want to compete in grappling or mma, that is also supported. There is no pressure to do anything you don't want to. You are allowed to work at your own pace, and that level of autonomy with positive encouragement and instruction is a rare find.

In early 2013 I was at my "rock bottom" when it came to my physical health and energy levels - working in a high stress sales position 8+ hours a day with the responsibilities that come with being a wife and mother I needed to do something to get into better health. Having a husband who is an athlete (Boxing and MMA) we discussed options for me but I was anxious because at 30-years-old I had never participated in athletics of any kind. After a lot of consideration we decided that I would start taking the blended kickboxing class at Southern California Combat Club (SC3). My goal was better health - if I lost some weight that would just be an added bonus. I was excited to try something new and begin my journey to a healthier lifestyle but was a bit hesitant being a woman training for my first time in an MMA gym full of tough men... but within minutes any bit of hesitation I had was removed by the kindness and humility of the members of SC3!!! In April of 2013 I took my first class - exhausted and dripping in sweat, I found myself hungry for more and could not wait to come back!!! I started out with 2 classes a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays), and within a few weeks included the cardio fit class on Wednesdays into my routine... a few weeks later I added on another night (Mondays) of blended kickboxing and cardio fit... within a few months I found that I was walking taller, had more energy, and that my ability to keep up in class (cardio) was improving. In October of 2013 I added Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Tuesdays and Thursdays) into my routine... now I find myself at the gym 4 nights a week, taking 2 classes each day, and I truly love each and every moment. Head coach and owner, Danny, is a GREAT teacher! Each class is thoroughly planned out and he thoughtfully connects techniques from previous lessons and other classes into scenarios that can be used regardless of if your time is spent fighting in a cage or in a real life self-defense situation. He is more than just a coach; he is an example & inspiration to the gym... "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." The staff is also very knowledgeable and helpful - each and every one of them humbly extends a hand when it is needed; anything from one-on-one help to get a specific technique down, giving pointers where they are needed, or extending words of encouragement. SC3 is so much more than a building where people gather to workout... It is a close knit circle of people who shed "blood, sweat, and tears" together... Each and every person has a genuine love for the sport of MMA - BUT - most of all there is true compassion for the members of the SC3 family. In the past year not only have I far exceeded the goal I set to improve my physical health (plus the bonus of losing 30lbs), but I have gained mental health (nothing like a good session hitting the pads after a stressful day at the office), and life altering friendships!!! One last thing that I can say that speaks volumes about the type of gym that SC3 is and the rarity that the Coach Danny and his staff offer is that I drive 45 miles (one way) to train with the team - and it is more than worth the effort that it takes me to get there. The guys and gals of SC3 make every moment a joy and I am forever a member of the family that is Southern California Combat Club!!! Thank you SC3!!!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is something that everyone should try at least once in their lives. Whether you're young or old, it's something important to each person, in your own personal way. Some people do it for exercise, some people do it for the challenge, some people like puzzle solving, and others simply to have a routine. The fact that we learn something that can be applied to your own life is what gravitated me to this martial arts. Preparing your own self awareness, figuring out how to adapt to different situation, and just knowing that you control your own fate is what appealed to me. That is what Coach Jeff promotes, the dynamic approach to this martial arts, that no one answer will be absolute, and to ultimately be the best version of yourself. Currently my youngest son attends classes, and gives him the lessons of life to be more mature, and be responsible for others. Little kids can get nervous to getting hurt, it's new, it's physical. But after a few classes, he understand it's all a game for now, his teammates challenge him, but not try to hurt him. It's fun to do, and also rewarding for the mind and body. There are also other alternative classes under the monthly membership plans, such as Thai Kickboxing, Eskrima, Physical wellbeing classes for the older groups, and wrestling for all ages. I recommend this class if you are someone that wants something outside the box, challenging, fun, and want a coach/team that inspires you to do better. Not a McDojo, where you are forced to dress a certain way, or do some repetitive dance like move for protection. This is actual everyday application that you can use for self defense.

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.

Rounders is the first and only MMA gym I've been to so maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt…read morebut this place is great. From the beginning I stopped by just to get more information on the membership and I was offered a free trial class to jump into that same day. They have loaner equipment for anyone just wanting to try things out and the environment is very inviting. In the few months that I've been coming here the coaches have always been attentive with everyone's learning experience and come to every class with drills ready. There's people of all skill levels so you don't feel out of place, no egos or anything, everyone welcomes you with open arms. This is a great place to come to whether you just want to get in shape, learn a martial art/self defense, or even want to pursue fighting. For what they offer the prices are solid too, membership gives you everyday access to all their classes from boxing and muay thai to wrestling, BJJ or even full MMA.

Bottom Line Up Front: I give this gym 5 out of 5 stars --…read moreand that says a lot because I've been training in martial arts since 1995 and am a certified instructor in multiple systems. But let me break it down as to why it gets my seal of approval. What You'll Learn: Rounders offers multiple martial arts: Boxing, Muay Thai (kickboxing), Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kali (a Filipino knife-fighting system), and Mixed Martial Arts (which combines striking, wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu). In the past they have also offered wrestling and Judo. So there's something for everyone. Regardless of what class you pick, you'll learn how to protect yourself while getting a great workout. What You'll Gain: Like I mentioned, you'll get a killer workout in a safe and fun environment. According to some studies, you could burn anywhere between 300 to 800 calories in a single 1-hour kickboxing class. It's far more efficient (and fun!) than running on a treadmill. And the added bonus is that you'll learn self-defense along the way. Who You'll Meet: From co-owner Joe Kim to all the other instructors, the coaches here are physically talented, knowledgeable, and easy-going despite being deadly warriors. They create a positive atmosphere so that everyone -- from brand new rookies to combat sports veterans -- has fun while learning. And that trickles down through to the students, who are all supportive and welcoming. The Space: The gym is medium-ish in size compared to other gyms in the area; enough to hold one large group or two smaller sessions at the same time. The equipment is top notch. And the workout space is well maintained. There's also a small section for weight training, too. The Cost: I've visited other gyms with outrageous prices (like $200 a month for only Jiu-Jitsu!). Fortunately, tuition here is reasonably priced -- with options to drop-in, go month-to-month, or commit to 6 months or a full year. (The latter two doesn't mean you have to pay upfront, just that you'll be charged automatically for your chosen time frame and save more over the long term.) And considering those options give you unlimited classes for all of the martial arts classes, Rounders is totally worth it. Conclusion: Rounders MMA Fullerton is an ideal gym to join, whether you're looking to lose weight, learn some self-defense, or just belong to a cool community who will encourage and grow with you.
