    We have been with BDMA for over 3 years and I can not say enough nice things about them. Master Tony and the other instructors are amazing with the kids at every level of training both in Taekwondo and Jujitsu. The instructors are firm, but patient and make sure that each student feels successful during every class. Great place for kids and adults to take classes at any level.

    We have been to numerous martial arts places, but it wasn't til coming here did my kids really come to enjoy going to became eager to really learn and thrive in martial arts. All the instructors are great with working with kids, even the young, not so well-mannered kids, especially Sensei Tony. Before signing them up here, my young boys asked to come only once or twice a week, but after starting here, hardly a week goes by that we aren't here at least 4 times a week. I hope they continue to progress and learn to work hard here. Very happy that we came in person to check this place out.

    Highly recommend BDMA! There is a "reason" why this place has been around for so many years!! My son and daughter have been attending for quite some time and both have learned numerous life lesson's/techniques, that will come in handy some day!! The studio is more of a family environment and we all grow as a whole!! No child get's left behind and all instructors are very patient, compassionate, and very well versed in the skill of today's Martial Arts world. It's an honor to be apart of something great and we "applaud" this organization for selecting Chula Vista, CA as there home base. Thank you for such an amazing program and we look forward to the future of Blue Dragon Martial Arts. Best, Familia Cobian

    If you're considering enrolling your child in tae kwon do, look no further than Pride Martial Arts…read more Both of my kids started at Pride in 2019, and it has been one of the best decisions we've made for their growth and well-being. Both of my kids have struggled with anxiety, especially when facing new situations, but from day one, the instructors at Pride have been incredibly patient, intentional, and encouraging. They have a way of making each child feel supported and understood, which is so important for kids who are a little more anxious about trying new things. Our eldest is now a black belt, and our youngest is about to test for his black belt next month! Watching them grow through Pride's program has been amazing. One of the things I appreciate most is that Pride isn't just about teaching the skills of tae kwon do; they are deeply invested in developing each child's character. The instructors are extremely disciplined and highly skilled, but they also emphasize values like perseverance, hard work, and self-confidence. Through the years at Pride, I've watched my kids become more determined and confident, learning what it takes to set goals and work hard to reach them. Pride Martial Arts has truly made a difference in our children's lives, and we're so grateful for the dedication and support they've shown. Thank you, Pride, for all your hard work and for investing so much in our kids! We appreciate you more than we can say.

    If you are looking for a special place for your kids or entire family to not only learn martial…read morearts, but also to learn life skills and values that will extend to the rest of their lives, then look no further than Pride Martial arts! Our family has been at Pride Martial Arts (PMA) since early 2018 and it's about time I write a review. Our eldest son Nathan started at PMA at 5 years old in the Tigers program. He was shy and had separation anxiety. He had not done any other sports or extracurricular activities yet. We tried PMA for a week and were sold. Whether it was a large class one day vs a small class another day, we were so happy to see instructors that were teaching our son not only martial arts, but life skills, self-defense and core values like respect, self-discipline, honesty and so much more. And most importantly, he was having fun and enjoyed coming to class, including sparring. A year later our son joined the Leadership program, which allowed him to take more advanced classes like Leadership and Tricking, and an unlimited number of classes per week. He eventually started to compete in tournaments and continued to thrive and grow further. What was once a shy and quiet boy, blossomed into a skilled, confident and strong young man. Fast forward to today, our 12-year-old son is a 2nd degree Black Belt, ATA Martial Arts Champion (5x World Champion, 10x District Champion and 10x State Champion). All thanks to this amazing academy. Our youngest son also joined several years ago and is on his way to becoming a Black Belt next year. My wife and I joined PMA in 2022, competed and earned several State and District Champion titles, and became Black Belts recently as well. We could not be more proud and grateful for what PMA has done for our entire family! PMA has weathered many storms (e.g. pandemic, economic downturn, staffing changes, etc.), but it has persevered. Their commitment to our kids and the community is a rare gift that should not be overlooked, especially with so many other martial arts schools in it more for the money than their students. I'd like to especially thank the owner, Master Lizbeth Ahn, for all she has done for my family. She truly cares about using martial arts to teach our kids good values and to become the best versions of themselves. Nathan would not be a World Champion without her belief in him, her detailed training and support. We believe in her vision for PMA and look forward to many more years of growth for our family.

    Okay so I've been working out for about 5 years and I had to leave my old gym since my motivation…read morewas completely gone.... Until a buddy of mine recommended me this gym and oh. My. God. Imagine TG and Chuze had a baby this would be its child. Michael and Dana were absolutely awesome when I first came here, and now I'm a new member of a bad ass gym family. As for Michael (I got you fam) he was so helpful start to finish on my membership and let me test it out for a week first before I even joined. A true homie fr fr ‍

The staff and trainers are always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. My boyfriend recommended that I check out this neighborhood gym, and I'm so glad I did. Michael helped me get signed up, and he has been amazing from day one. He's friendly, professional, and always quick to respond whenever I've needed assistance. Any issue or question I've had was resolved promptly. Michael is truly the best! I'd also like to give a shoutout to Manny, Omar, Eddie, Sophia, and Clari. They have all been incredibly kind, supportive, and encouraging throughout my fitness journey. And a final shoutout to Alex, the owner, for creating such an incredible gym and fitness community. It's truly a dream destination for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness in a positive, welcoming environment. By far, this has been the best gym experience I've had. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a positive and motivating environment. I truly appreciate all of you!
