My Jiu Jitsu school of record is at the Gracie University in Torrance, Calif, but since I travel a…read morelot, I like to do drop-in classes when possible on the road. I scheduled an online class which was immediately addressed and welcomed by the owner of the school (which is a good sign). When I arrived I was cordially welcomed by the instructor, Craig Hanaumi and shown the dress area which was roomy and comfortable. An assessment of the school proved that it was clean, orderly and possessed good feng shui. Once I entered the mats, I was cordially welcomed by the students and felt immediately at home. Craig's instruction and delivery method was very clear, concise and informative. We were shown an array of moves and drilled them until we all flowed as one. The class as a whole was very fulfilling and rewarding. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who's interested in BJJ self defense. Cheers to Craig, the owner and the fine students of Kindred Jiu Jitsu.

I joined CCMA about 2 months ago on the plan for 2 days a week and I gotta say that it is great…read more It is a boxing gym which may shy a few people away but they are completely accommodating to the level that you are striving for. Some guys are going for competitions, but primarily there are guys and girls who want to to have fun learning some boxing (or kickboxing) skills, and they want a killer workout which CCMA definitely provides. I have had gym memberships for years and would quit every so often mostly because I would get bored and there was nothing really motivating me to keep going. This gym is not like that. Everyone in the class runs through drills and exercises for teh hour and fifteen minute classes and it is up to the individual how hard they want to work. I have lost about 12lbs in 2-1/2 months though and that is only going 2 days a week. There are classes every day of the week at different times to accommodate different schedules and they are really good about keeping you motivated and taking time to show you the proper techniques. Everyone in the classes are really cool and down to earth. They also range in age and ability levels so it is fun to work with some of the better people because they also can act as mentors and teach technique. The only reason that the gym did not get 5 stars in my eyes was that I think a few people would be turned off by the facility and the parking. They could probably use new carpeting but the actual gym equipment is great and they have everything that you need to get started. The parking is a little tough and some nights there are no spots. Otherwise, the gym is amazing and has a way more personal feel than any class you will ever get at a big gym. If someone decides to join this gym and has the idea that they want to get in shape, you will not be disappointed. Mark and his trainers will definitely do the trick. It is definitely worth checking out especially for most of us that are bored out of our minds with a regular gym.

I have been part of White Tiger Martial Arts for about 7 years now and consider myself fortunate to train with Master Yoo. They run an amazing TKD program which is great for children and adults needing some good physical and mental discipline along with very important self-defense skills. Personally, it has helped me with the mind-body unification and to develop strength, technique and self confidence. Over the period of time I have learned to apply it to all other aspects of my life as well. Both Master and Mrs Yoo are amazing and have this great ability to connect with their students. It shows that they care. Couldn't have asked for better instructors. Master Yoo is stern yet kind and playful. He brings out your best in the class. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a great martial arts training, it's a fun place for families to do TKD together.

It is the most positive life choice and practice that I continue to make each week. Completely life changing and wonderful. I would offer this to my dearest friend as the secret to longevity and happiness. If you think you have what it takes, do it, take the leap and try it out for yourself. Words will fail me here but, ACMA has shaped me more in the 4-years that I've attended than my previous 15-years of martial arts training. Without the guidance to body, mind and spirit that Sifu Jason Bartlett has offered, I believe that I could have spent my lifetime studying and training and would never have reached the current understanding of martial arts as a whole that his mentor-ship has granted me. I have achieved vast improvements in body awareness, received training for the chaos of fighting. I'm a better trained fighter than I have ever been. I'm a better man than I have ever been and I grow more and more, being constantly sculpted into a better version of myself each class. Changes you can look forward to by attending ACMA, in my experience, are as follows: Spirit - You will push through hesitation and fear. You will become powerful and unyielding when you need to be. You will define your limits to confrontations. Create values in yourself and hold yourself to a high standard of excellence. Body - You will test your personal limits. You will experience growth and change with Jason's guidance and ability to help with any healing that needs to take place thru his study in eastern medicines. You will realize new potentials in yourself, unlock movement and connectivity that was not there. You will learn many aspects of power generation. You will learn fast twitch muscle fiber incorporation and training. And so much more that it's not even funny. I have six lifetimes of study ahead of me and I get the luxury to choose which path to mold and hone to a more and more dangerous weapon. Mind - As your abilities and absorption of knowledge top out and you become overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge that Sifu Jason passes to you. Jason will teach you ways to make room and stillness through meditation and other techniques that touch on your spirituality and expand your capacity for mental acuity and greatness. You'll learn how to make right decisions and maintain a new level of consciousness that brings a self confidence in your daily decision making. There is a healthy sense of comradery between the students. To me, they all feel like family and the school is a home away from home. Sifu Jason guides us all and we help one another to understand and encompass the teachings. Yearly retreats in which you can fully immerse yourself in kung fu. This has been an experience I had never had before and I highly recommend it. This retreat keeps us in touch with our lineage and brings us to the apex of our year's training. I began my martial arts training at 18 years old with a Hung Gar kung fu school run under Si Gong John Leong. I also trained Wing Chun kung fu for a year under the students of Sifu James DeMile. Though these were important steps in the entirety of my martial arts training, nothing I've ever experienced has rivaled the teachings of Sifu Jason Bartlett and his ACMA school. Sifu Jason Bartlett has training in Aikido, Bagua, Hung Gar, Pak Mei, Shortfist, San Shou and much more. For a more detailed look at our school and Sifu Jason Bartlett, please see the school's web site: http://www.appliedcombat.com/ Thank you for your interest. We look forward to hearing from seriously interested individuals. Kris Koenig - Proud member of Applied Combat Martial Arts
