All their instructors are welcoming, encouraging, and coach and motivate with positive reinforcement. The owner and head instructor, Ericka, is an incredible leader. She not only focuses on the physical aspect, but also on respect, situational awareness, and mental toughness. What started as a "let's try this program for the kids to learn self defense techniques" has evolved into a community of friendships and a place that our kids are excited to go several days a week.

While my child has been training at Artemis for a little over a month now, we were basically sold by the end of the first trial day. Artemis is well-run, clean, offers a multitude of class offerings and times and is well connected to our local homeschool charter programs and community. We love that students receive hands-on guidance and training of a boutique gym while being much more accessible. Coach Dexter is absolutely wonderful with the students, offering valuable and constructive feedback, encouragement and positive motivation. Students are taught the importance of principles such as self-discipline, respect, teamwork, tenacity and so much more. It is very evident that the students collectively exhibit amazing skills through practice and training but perhaps more importantly, they all seem to truly love and enjoy their time in class and cannot wait to return. We feel so blessed to have found Artemis as it is truly such a gem and valuable asset to our community.

We enrolled our son (9) and daughter (12) at this academy a little over a year ago and it's…read morehonestly been one of the best decisions we've ever made. The entire team has been instrumental in our children's success, both on the training mat and at competitions. My wife and I were both multi-sport athletes, but neither of us ever practiced or competed in combat sports so while we weren't sure what to expect, we both understood what effective teaching/training looked like. From the first day, it was evident that the team was focused on developing comfort and confidence in the new students. They were both immediately assigned to an experienced student who made them feel relaxed and walked them through both the drills and lessons over the next few days. They quickly went from being a little scared of joining a class full of students with varied experience levels to requesting to attend class every day of the week. Of all the extracurricular activities they had tried, this was the one that ignited their passion the most. The professor, Tom Cronin, and the entire team of coaches do an excellent job of keeping the kids engaged by balancing expectations with both fun and recognition. They have a great sense of each student and how to motivate them to excel. They also steer clear of pitfalls we were warned of by friends who have children attending other academies, specifically promotions based on attendance as opposed to merit. At this gym, the children are evaluated on their skills and ability to execute the requisite moves. This encourages them to excel instead of just casually participating. Within 9 months they had developed enough confidence to compete and we were blown away at how well they performed against the competition from around the country. Most importantly, they had a coach prepare them the week before with one on one training and he was the one who attended the competition to coach both of them through all of their matches. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly for us, the academy doesn't just teach them BJJ, it reinforces core behaviors that we expect from our children - Respect, honor, and community. At the end of the day, we are all trying to raise the best humans we can and I can say with absolute confidence, that this academy is an integral part of that process for our children. I absolutely recommend Carlson Gracie, Temecula to anyone with any interest in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu.

We first tried jiu-jitsu, but the one-hour classes were too long for their attention span, and they quickly lost interest. I was looking for a place where they could feel centered and truly enjoy learning. When I called Yamashita Karate, I explained everything to Sensei Eric, and he was incredibly polite and understanding. He suggested that my kids come for their first class just to see if they liked it. The classes are only 30 minutes, twice a week ,the perfect amount of time for them. I can't express how thankful I am for Sensei Eric's kind and professional approach. He has earned my kids' respect, and now they listen, focus, and can't wait for the next class! He also talked to them about stranger danger, which was so helpful , they really understood how important it is to be aware of their surroundings. Now they're having classes with Sensei Emily, and they absolutely love her! She shows them so much love, patience, and encouragement every step of the way. I can honestly say that this is the best place you can choose for your kids. It teaches not only karate but also respect, focus, and confidence. P. and N. love you all and truly enjoy every class!
