    My son in the Ring
    Rachel D.

    Don't judge a gym by name or wait for it... it's Yelp reviews. I read all these reviews and decided to see for myself what UFC Folsom was all about. From the moment I walked In, everyone has been really nice and helpful. Starting with JJ giving my kids and I multiply passes to try each class and see what was the best fit for our family. My son loves the youth classes and he asks to go here every day. The manager, Derek is really helpful and wants people to meet their fitness goals while running a successful business. He's very involved and listens to the members : he just added a new boxing coach and 4 new boxing classes. Lucas is super patient and the kids flock to his classes because he has a lot of energy, but he is also training them to be their best. I took JJ and Olsen's KickBoxing classes and I learned a lot! I used muscles that needed a good tone up from not being used in a while. My advice : When you are thinking of joining : ask to take a couple classes at different times to see which ones you like/what times work for your schedule. Buy retail on the day you sign up: 20% off that day! I bought boxing gloves for my son and a few new outfits for myself- who's not more motivated to work out when you get new stuff?? Get some personal training sessions. I know I know....even if you think you don't need them; this place teaches a lot of skills that are not offered at every gym. Even if your gym does offer similar classes - you may not be doing the moves right. UFC Folsom does not want you to get hurt doing something the wrong way. Last call: Don't be intimidated to just go in- go in and see for yourself. They have all kinds of classes and it's family friendly. But in some cases, the UFC environment may invite the inner boxer to release in all of us.

My son is always excited to go to class and since transferring to Na has shown a new excitement and passion for martial arts. All the teachers are great and show a great deal of patience with the kids. The teachers have also done a great job ensuring every kid gets one on one attention regardless of the class size as they have many instructors at hand and pay close attention if any student needs help. Teacher Daniel is an awesome teacher and always does drills that are fun but there is usually a clever listening drill that accompanies the physical drills. All the teachers are great and are capable of running the entire class on their own. They all show a great level of expertise, excitement and confidence. This tells me that this is how their students will be to once they rise through the ranks.

We are very, very happy with our experience at this studio, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a martial arts program.

    A honest review and take. Note my family has been attending Beda BJJ in Folsom, CA for more than…read moretwo years now and for several reasons (clean, family oriented, superior instruction, a solid balance of instruction and rolling, and well structured training formats). But a new reason was realized this past weekend at the last JJWL Tourney in Stockton--The owners demonstrate their care and connection with their students by ensuring there is always someone with them! See I signed up my boys late to this tourney, sucks because I missed out on a cool rash guard ;) but for this tourney my boys had staggered start times so I got to see more matches while waiting for their appearances. I started to notice something that was not apparent to me from the last few tourneys we attended (in all past events my boys went at same start times but different mats so I was always running back and forth). Some kid competitors do not have coaches sitting in the chairs supporting them! I found this astonishing because those kids are out there competing and there was no support. I also noticed that every Beda BJJ kid competitor had a coach, sitting there while in action and also before and after. This is what truly sets Beda apart in my opinion.

The coaches are plentiful, accessible and very knowledgeable, who have even given extra time to help our kids when needed.

I personally believe that Eli and Brandy have created a purposeful, approachable, and family-friendly environment. My baby has grown to love it there too!

Eastern Ways easily exceeded our expectations. They were very organized and kept the kids' interest at all times. A group of energetic 10 year olds sitting at attention is an impressive feat. The party content was tailored to our son's interests and even included Kung Fu weapons forms demonstrations. The party room was decorated beautifully and the staff was attentive to the needs of the kids, as well as the parents. The pizza was purchased from a local supermarket but all the kids asked for seconds (I had thirds). Soda and water were the drink options. We brought cupcakes from home and they supplied the candles. They had a unique way of having the birthday boy blow out his candle. There were 5 staff members doing the demonstrations and tending to the guests. They checked with us before they did anything to make sure it was ok. We've had numerous birthday parties for our boy's and these folks are tops in service and courtesy. Each guest received a week of training as part of their goodie bag. Our son is already chomping at the bit to redeem his.

From day one, the coaches have been welcoming, patient, and genuinely invested in each child. They do such a great job balancing discipline and structure while still keeping classes fun and something the kids look forward to. We've watched our boys grow so much--not only in their jiu-jitsu skills, but also in their confidence, focus, discipline, resilience, and respect for others. The coaches know when to encourage them, when to challenge them, and how to make every child feel proud of their progress. What really makes EDH BJJ special is the community. It truly feels like a family. Everyone is supportive and encouraging, and you can tell the coaches genuinely care about the kids both on and off the mat. Watching our boys earn their stripes and belts and become more confident has been so rewarding. We are incredibly grateful we found EDH BJJ and couldn't recommend this gym enough to any family looking for a positive, supportive environment for their kids!

We have watched both of our sons progress, from starting at the age of four and continue to grow in not only strength but integrity, team work/team camaraderie, intrinsic motivation and self control. We appreciate the consistency with the coaches and their willingness to help each student, regardless of age or ability. They show extreme patience with all in attendance, including kids who have never stepped onto the mat. The environment is friendly and supportive and always extremely inclusive. We could not be happier with our six years at this gym and have no plans to leave anytime soon. Each of us look forward to the classes, that are offered throughout the week. Our sons are excited to attend each class and have made some life-long friendships with their teammates.

    My son completed his second-degree black belt at this center a few years ago, and at that time we…read morehad an excellent experience under Ms. Bowman, the original owner, co-founder, and lead instructor. However, since the new owner, Ms. Gomez took over, we have seen a significant decline in the quality of teaching, a persistent lack of individualized attention, and a significant increase in class sizes that compromised the learning environment of the students. The situation deteriorated to the point that two weeks ago we decided to withdraw our 9-year-old daughter from the program and enroll her in another, far better Taekwondo center in Folsom. The current ownership appears to prioritize increasing student volume over providing individualized attention. Students of different belt levels are frequently combined into the same classes, creating confusion for both students and parents. Additionally, the progression through belts and training milestones seems unnecessarily prolonged. They blame it to supposed deficiencies in students' "readiness" for belt testing, rather than acknowledging the impact of inconsistent teaching or insufficient oversight of their less experienced junior instructors. When we raised valid concerns about our daughter's lack of advancement and the quality of instruction she was receiving, the response from staff was dismissive and placed responsibility solely on the students and parents (e.g. suggesting that students were not practicing enough at home or that parents were not teaching them proper forms), rather than addressing the issues brought to their attention. Their current practice raises serious concerns about a potential conflict of interest, as unnecessary prolonged training directly increases the duration of monthly fees they collect from the students. When we questioned these delays and asked for clarification, they responded defensively and repeatedly, suggested enrolling in additional significantly more expensive private lessons. This clearly gave us the impression that the recommended solutions were financially motivated rather than acknowledging their teaching quality.
