We had an American kickboxing champion and a women's Olympic Taekwondo champion training there. The standard was high, the discipline was real, and the expectations pushed us to become better every single day. Master Ferrer was truly special. His leadership, patience, and passion for the art left a lasting impact on me. I trained in Taekwondo, kickboxing, and kali, five hours a day. It was demanding, exhausting, and sometimes painful, but I loved every moment of it. Those years were more than just training. They were about growth, character, and brotherhood. They taught me resilience, humility, and respect. These lessons stayed with me long after I left the mat. Master Ferrer, thank you for the memories and for the guidance you gave me during such an important time in my life. I was genuinely happy there, and I will always be grateful. My name is John Kim. I hope you remember me, but whether you do or not, please know that I have never forgotten you.

This review is specific for the kids classes from a parent…read more As a family joining CheckMat with no previous martial arts background, CheckMat has exceeded our expectations. From day one, the instructors have each been welcoming and fair to all kids in the program. There is no question that the instructors all enjoy teaching jiujitsu to children of different skill levels and ages, it's definitely a passion of theirs and because of that, the kids safety and instruction is tailored to challenge each kid on an individual basis. As a parent, watching your children develop life skills, gain confidence, improve their fitness, respect others, enjoy competition, and have fun/laugh at the same time is all you can ask for - and that we get with every class we send our kids to. We are extremely happy with our experience at CheckMat and would recommend it to others looking for a challenging and supporting activity for their family.

This place probably needs a new Yelp page because it's under different ownership…read more Got my 7-year old son enrolled here about 3 months ago because I got tired of him playing video games and goofing off all the time. He also has trouble focusing at school and home, so wanted to give him something to keep busy. I wasn't looking to make him the next MMA champion or anything crazy. I just wanted him to learn to throw a punch and be able to defend himself, while also keeping him active. This place seems to be doing a good job with all of those. My son loves coming here and enjoys working out with other students. Coach David and Kru Stephanie are excellent with the students and seem to know how to tap into their potential. I like that they sometimes turn some training sessions into games to keep kids more engaged. All the students are nice too. I've been to some martial arts studios where some of the students act like thugs. I haven't seen seen any bad characters here. Kids/teens Muay Thai classes are held Tuesday, Thursday, Friday (sparring), and Saturday. Adult classes are held Monday thru Saturday. If you sign up here you can also take Taekwondo at Ferrer Academy, located on Lincoln Avenue near Moody Street. Such a small world because I used to train there over 30 years ago. Turns out the owner of this studio is the daughter of my former instructor. Tuition can be paid month-to-month or you can sign a 6-month or annual contract. Price is obviously better with longer contracts. Not sure if it's still offered but we were given a 2-week free trial period when we first signed up.

I love this place! My daughter originally started taking muay thai and mma classes back in Jan 2015…read moreand she loved going to class. The instructors were always very patient, helpful and aware of all the kids. The overall vibe of this place was, and is still is amazing. She always felt part of the family and specially enjoyed kids fun nights. Every now and then, they had fun activities for the kids with jumpers and music which I thought was amazing and it gave the kids the opportunity to get to know each other better. After taking a one year break and as of today my daughter and I have re enrolled in the muay thai classes and we both can't wait to get started! Coach Johnson has always being extremely helpful and I appreciate that very much. It is people like him that go the extra mile to help someone better themselves and give us that extra push we ALL sometimes need. I highly recommend All In MMA for kids and adults, and I look forward to the epic trainings

This is…read moreone of the most laid-back BJJ schools I've ever been to in 11 years of training and Professor Chris makes it easy to want to learn here. I dropped in recently as part of a larger project and from walking in, the music and cool nature of everyone on those green mats was very relaxed. One of the best things about this school besides it's cleanliness is how down-to-earth the leadership and therefore, culture, is. Good technique is something you can find anywhere [including here], but a good culture with a healthy, happy population of women and great music on the mats is a much harder find. As far as BJJ culture goes, this is the best balance between structured and laid-back that I've come across yet.

With several class offerings it's a great place for kids, teens & adults to get a great workout & learn self defense. They also offer Private Training. Tae Bo (cardio aerobics) & Kickboxing are some favorites. A new spin on Mon. & Wed. nights is Disco Tae Bo! The room is darkened but it's illuminated with colorful light poles that pulse with the musical beat. It's a fun workout & easy to follow along as Master Kim leads the class. The Kickboxing class is a real stress reliever as you kick & punch a big vertical bag with left & right hooks & leg roundhouses! NHC is across the street from Paul's Place & in the same lot as Inglorious Barbers. Look for the bright blue awning. NHC offers free first classes so call to schedule that.

Our schedule is…read morebusy with other sports and other school extracurricular activities so we're unable to come more than 1-2x a week. But like swim, we think of this sport as a life skill, a sport that we want the boys to do for their lifetime. Coach Alex is patient and very thorough in his demonstrations and examples. The other instructors are just as wonderful in their instruction and flexibility in working with the kids. Life lessons of anti-bullying, social responsibility, and being a good citizen are discussed with the kids in here which is a huge bonus. The classes go at the right speed that doesn't intimidate or burn out my sons and encourages them while learning. There are advanced students here who probably compete or are looking to do that. My sons are athletic but not on the aggressive side and this dojo is perfect for them and all types of kids looking to learn and excel in this sport. Because of this, I do see my sons staying for the long run. We are in no rush to get belt stripes or compete - we want our boys to continue at their pace and be excited to go to class. The staff of Izabella and Analise are the best - always welcoming, friendly and helpful. They are the perfect representation of this dojo. If you're looking into martial arts for your kids, I highly recommend you give this place a try! I know they also have adult classes, and it looks like to be a responsible run dojo that adheres to the Gracie guidelines. I also love seeing all the girls in this sport! Thank you Coach Alex and team! Huge thumbs up!
