My 11 year old son is getting ready for 6th grade. I knew he was entering a time in his life where he's going from a little boy to a young man. Team bully busters is not only strengthening him physically but mentally as well. The confidence my son has in himself in just over a week is amazing. He is truly SEEN here and I'm so happy that we chose team bully busters. Definitely recommend!!!! read more

Bully Busters has been amazing exercise for my son as well as giving him confidence and strength. He loves going to class and the teachers are very supportive. They can be tough and strict, but they are fair. read more

The absolute best!! It's been beyond beneficial for my children. Coach Keta and Rod genuinely care about their students and with discipline, they make it fun. My son also does one on one and there are no words to express how grateful we are! I also attend Coach Keta's two day a week women's classes and WOW is it transforming! Our family loves this place and everything about this amazing couple! If you don't know, find out!!! You can thank me later. read more

Keta was incredible! What a life story and how she made her experiences into a business that helps everyone. Wow.- She was so knowledgeable, patient, kind and magical, it exceeded all of my expectations. It takes a great teacher to see how you pick everything up best. My friends gave me a private lesson for my birthday and I loved the quiet time to get into this. We went through falls, kicks, hand grabs, chokes, and compromising positions on the floor. I feel so empowered now! Thank you. read more

Team Bully Buster Self Defense - Keta and I after private lesson - Muay Thai Near Me - Studio City, California

We love this place and more importantly our kids are obsessed!!! Coach Keta and Rod are amazing. They are professional, fun, effective, and approachable. We have 5 and 7 year old boys. We signed them up 2 weeks ago; after a 6 month mediocre experience at a local martial arts dojo that seemed very cookie cutter... We have not missed a day for 2 weeks. Our boys insist on coming 5 days per. They can't decide if they like boxing, ju jitsu, Mui Thai, wrestling or the Friday ninja warrior Conditioning day most. Also every class is completely different keeping the kids engaged. I should add it's super fun for parents to watch as well. Their behavior has been better at home. Somehow they are fighting with one another less. They are performing better in their other sports. Can't say enough good things. Thank you Team Bully Buster!! read more

You can always they'll the true character of a business when they literally try to reach out to you to gaslight you and say you did not have the experience you had 1st hand with them. You should be better leaders of the community and educate yourself that gaslighting and messaging people in an attempt to bully them into removing their 1-on-1 experience IS ACTUALLY bullying. Whether YOU remember it or not it happened and I remember it still clear as day. Even if it did happen 4-5 years ago. Perhaps you don't remember because it is a habit for you and your temper gets a little out of hand because other yelpers have reached out to me telling me they had the EXACT same experience. If you would like to continue I can post those PM's. You're making a mockery out of your business name. Yelp is supposed to be used for businesses to take the criticism constructively and do better. How do you actually teach bully busting when you are bullying? My review has been there for a very long time. I DO REMEMBER how awful you were. Stop trying to lie and say the review is false because it is FAR from false. Your private message to me is not going to bully me either. I am not afraid to stand up to you and speak the truth. Many other people have confirmed parallel experiences. Who also have reached out to me THANKING me for speaking up against you. Whatever anger your harboring and your clearly out of control temper is not healthy to have around children and perhaps parents need to be more cautious about having their children around you. A loose cannon is the most dangerous to themselves and anyone near them. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing gym. I hesitate to even call it a gym because it really feels like a club house, a therapist's office, a church, and a home. Keta (owner and chief badass) makes everyone feel welcome and empowered. This is not the place to just hit stuff hard and sweat. This is so much more. They want you to know WHY you do what you do and HOW to do it properly. You don't just hit a bag, you learn how to step into it and extend your arm and at what angle. You don't just kick something, you learn how to turn your hips and when in a fight that kick should be placed for maximum effect. You learn the science of fighting. You learn that sometimes a push kick to get away from someone is a much better idea than any fancy combo. It's practical! I hate working out, but this doesn't feel like a workout, it's a skill. I didn't start my fitness journey until my late 20's and I owe so much to Keta and everyone else at Team Bully Buster. They have found such a great balance of encouraging and motivated. There's a no nonsense tough as nails aspect to this gym and it is perfectly balanced by a loving and fun aspect as well. We dance, we play, we train, we support, we teach, we learn, we get hurt, we get tougher, we get more confident, we get empowered, we get tough and beautiful. Through their muay thai classes and private lessons I have not only learned how to kick and punch and knee and elbow like a boss, but I have learned how to be patient and kind with myself, how to be better at encouraging others, how to stick with things even when they're hard, and I have made friends I never would have met otherwise. If you're a parent who wants your kid to be confident and safe while having fun, check Team Bully Buster out. If you're a woman who wants to get in shape, if you're a woman who wants to learn to protect yourself, if you're a woman who wants to have fun, if you're a woman who wants to look badass in a picture with a pair of boxing gloves...check Team Bully Buster out. Everyone here is on a journey to be better versions of themselves and spread that love to others. Keta and Coach are always willing to take a fun Instagram picture for you too! read more

Amazing coaching, Amazing group/ family atmosphere, Clean, clean ,clean!!! We are grateful for everything you do

I've attended many Anti-Bullying events which leaves you with the do's and don't's and a great pamphlet for review. However, TBB teaches the practical skill set that's needed when faced with a bully. It gives you confidence when placed in such a horrible situation. I wish I knew these techniques when I was bullied growing up. With Bullying at all all time high, this is the place to take your kids to learn how to defend themselves. As an adult, I never really thought about needing self-defense classes but after taking them, I feel so empowered! Thank God I've never been assaulted, but I know people who have and the first thing you do is panic and do all the wrong things in trying to get away. NOW, I know what to do and how to get out of these types of situations. When I took my first Self-Defense class I felt so....Insecure. I had no idea what I was doing!! One of the techniques I learned is how to get someone off of you when being held down. When I learned it, I literally cried!! I was like, if this ever happened to me I would have no idea how to get out of it. I was so proud of myself for going to the class. Self-Defense isn't just for kids, it's for adult women too. Enroll your kids, (starting at 5 years old) and empower yourself. You will be so glad you did. Self-Confidence, Leadership Skills and feel Empowered. Those attributes are for everyone! Thank you so much Keta Meggett & TBB! Taja V. Simpson read more

I brought my girl scout troop (Juniors in high school) to prep them for going away to college. We were impressed, our girls did many things from being grabbed one hand, 2 hands, chocking, how to fall, how to get away from predators if you were down and he is attacking you ... wow!! All the above that hopefully never happens but now they need to practice and have a self awareness that they have the knowledge how to get away from it. Awesome class Keta and couch (can't remember his name, sorry). I recommend this to anyone ... we will come back!! Thank you again read more

Powerfully positive organization designed to build up those who would be weak into strong and confident individuals. They change lives for the better. You may ask any student and get a personal testimony of the effect of training with such a loving group of people. Coach read more

Coach Keta is the best! My son gets extremely nervous in new environments, when he first went he cried and did not want to go in. Coach keta stopped class and sat and talked with my son for 5 minutes until he felt comfortable enough to join. As well she is a skilled martial artist and gifted coach. read more

Team Bully Busters has been a lifesaver for our family. I can't think of any other program that has my 11 year old son dressed and ready to go out the door each day while he insistently hollers "Come on Mom ! It's time to go!" From day one when my son knew nothing, he began learning how to defend himself against bullies in the schoolyard. Coach Keta and Coach Rod are professional fighters with strong, active careers. They created Bully Busters in order to teach self defense. Their instruction ranges from the beginning level to the intermediate levels to the very top where they themselves coach professional fighters. Bully Busters is a must do! It Is affordable, fun, challenging and rare to find! read more

Great gym and awesome coaches. Keta, the owner and the head instructor is very knowledgeable in her craft. She's a mixed martial artist with a background in jiu jitsu and Muay Thai. She dedicates her life advocating for anti-bullying while helping individuals learn self defense. I get a great work out training here. The facility is clean with a variety of different equipment to use. They offer a variety of classes as well (self defense, fitness, striking, etc). Definitely come check it out read more

Keta Owner and coach of Team Bully Buster is a gem. She has created a safe and empowering environment for anyone who comes to her studio. I have been taking private work out sessions with Keta for over three months and feel so much stronger, healthier and sexier. I always look forward to going to class or my private sessions as Keta and Coach Rod are always up beat, positive, motivating and constantly helping me perfect my technique so I get the best work outs and to ensure I am progressing. Keta also has an amazing ability to connect and empowering not only women but children as well. Summer Body work out plan is on a good path! Team Bully Buster is unique beyond measure you should go check it out yourself and see all the goodness happening! read more

I train with Keta every friday. She is amazing. She not only is an amazing fighter, she encourages mental confidence and is really serious about fighting and kickboxing as a way of helping treat mental health and not just physical health. I love her read more

I started taking my son a few months ago and it's amazing the transformation we've seen in a short time. Prior to this we were not able to find something he liked and keep his interest as far as excercise and self defense. The coaches are amazing and we highly recommend you bring your kids here read more

Wow what an amazing experience at Team Bully Buster ! I had the privilege of setting up a private for a group of ladies with Keta the owner and we learned so much and had a great time doing it ! Keta was an awesome teacher and her coach who assisted the private was a pleasure as well! The group of ladies left feeling empowered and confident after the lesson was through! I encourage everyone to take a class here and continue to come back and learn from these teachers! Not only did we get skills to protect ourselves in an unfortunate situation but we also had a great workout ! We want to thank team Bully buster for everything and we will be back soon! read more

My daughter started taking classes here several months ago. She LOVES it. The owners have done an amazing job building up this community. The kids are supportive of each other, and take the lessons seriously. Each night of the week focuses on a different martial art discipline (e.g. Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, etc.). It's a well rounded approach to teaching practical self defense skills. It's great exercise and good for her self esteem to boot. I highly recommend checking it out. read more

I saw this place right on the corner near my house & thought what a great idea to enroll my nieces here! They're 9 & 10 and one of them is about to enter middle school so I want to make sure she knew how to defend herself if needed! Not to mention Muay Thai is a great work out! Anyways, as soon as we walked in the gym, the owner Keta was kind, welcoming and made us feel like we've known her for years! She took my munchkins into class to try out ( drop in fee $25 no biggie) & took her time teaching them how to punch & kick correctly while also explaining why they do what they learn! After the kids were finished they wouldn't leave the gym! They absolutely love it and so do I! The place is nice and clean and smells good, the parking can get tricky since it's only street parking but it's worth it! I would recommend this gym to whoever has kids who want to learn Muay Thai or Jiujitsu / self defends or just a good work out! They also have classes for teens and Adults! I go when I can and I always come back for more! 10/10! read more

My son started here very recently. In real life I think that giving them security and that they feel that they can defend themselves helps a lot. Of course as parents we never want them to come to something physical with another person, but at some point in life that can happen. I think Team Bully Buster Self Defense is not just a gym, they teach children how to protect themselves, give them security, and above all respect. Coaches worry one by one of their students to learn and use the technique accordingly and safe. I recommend 100 percent. Thank you Team Bully!!!! read more

This is an amazing place. Our daughter, who had never taken a martial arts class before, has had her world flipped in just a few classes. She now knows what it's like to be attacked, and how to find a way out. Keta always keeps it practical (and fun) - peppering class with real world experiences so that the kids emerge with the confidence and skills to handle what life may throw them. Any parent who wants their kids to learn how to defend themselves, and get a great workout - should check out these supportive, and highly knowledgable coaches. read more

My daughter started taking classes at Team Bully Buster's about one month ago. She really loves the classes and I do too! I sit in on all the classes she takes, in order to observe my daughters progress and Coach Keta and Coach Rod are FANTASTIC coaches/teachers! Coach Rod is the male force and energy needed in the class. He comes with lots of wrestling experience. I find him to be a strict disciplinary and places challenges on the kids, that forces them do better, achieving the best outcome, in their self defense training. He's no joke (you may end up doing 50 pushups if you're talking in class) but he commends them when they do well. Keta is the female force and pro wrestler/actress that has a strong physical presence, that I feel is important for women and girls to see. For them to know, they can be pretty, remain feminine and kick butt too! She is highly skilled in her training and effectively and efficiently teaches her students. I find the training to be very diverse, mixing up all forms of self defense, from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and doing obstacle courses. Everyday is something different. There is never a dull moment and the diverse music they play during class is awesome! It's sets the atmosphere. There is a great energy present all the time and I'm so pleased that I found Team Bully Busters! Keta and Coach Rod are what I would call a "Dynamic Duo"! I can see they really do care about children and women knowing how to protect themselves! I would highly recommend women and children to get in classes at Team Bully Busters! read more

This is the most fabulous martial arts studio. Our daughter, 11, goes here a few times a week and loves it. The teaching is positive and uplifting, and I've been astounded by how quickly my daughter is learning to punch, kick, choke, and defend herself. Also the culture of the gym is super supportive. All the kids are welcoming and cheer each other on. If your kid is shy or has been bullied or is nervous at all, this is the place for her or him. I couldn't recommend it more highly. read more

So incredible to have found a gym teaching martial arts and self-defense to specifically women and children. Coach Keta and coach Rod are both warm welcoming and hard-working, they are motivating and compassionate which helps anyone feel confident coming into a self Defense gym for the first time. As a woman iv felt intimidated coming to new gyms before, I felt nothing but love and support from Keta and everyone at the gym. If you're looking for self defense in Los Angeles, Team bully buster has a strong, empowering fun environment I would recommend to everyone! read more
