Ive known Jarrad for many years, when he was working under Bill at the old studio. Jarrad has a love for what martial arts is. He understands it as a form of expression, discipline, and function. He tries to integrate many forms of fighting into his training so not only do you get aspects of san soo but also mma, keysi Fighting Method, boxing, grappling, as well as many more. A lot of schools teach you a style that may be semi practical but overall maybe not applicable in real world situations. Jarrad teaches what I would call real life situation styles. He teaches knife fighting and disarming, close quarter interaction, true self defense techniques, and how to get out of violent situations with minimal harm to yourself. He is fantastic with kids and teenagers, He is patient, using great positive reinforcement techniques, and can relate to them on their level as equals, showing respect to them as individuals rather than patronizing or coming off as being above them. Its a rare gift for people to pull off. If you want to come in and just shoot the shit, Jarrad is always happy to talk martial arts, but maybe you want to talk movies, or comic, TV shows, video games Jarrad can help with that to. So come on in, we are always looking for people to bruise on friday nights (Its open floor, so we can request the lesson for that day if we want). Hope to see you there! read more

This is the best martial arts studio in SoCal. There is so much to learn, and so few Masters that can teach them. If self defense is what you are looking for, then you MUST stop by and meet Jarrad. He is gifted, humble and remarkable! My favorite class from him is in "Defence Lab Concepts." It is singularly the best martial art to defend your self from street thugs or any suprise attack that might happen to you. I have a black belt in one system and a brown belt in another system. But NOTHING compares to Defence Labs when really trying to protect yourself from a mugger, thug, or a group of thugs. Please do yourself a favor and stop in. There are no gimmicks to what he can show you! He is the best in the area! read more
