We are grateful for this team and everything they do. This is truly a place we trust. Both my son…read moreand daughter joined the classes, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. My son is autistic, so we decided to start with private lessons. Following instructions can be challenging for my son, but Mr. Castro has shown incredible patience, kindness, and understanding. He truly took the time to build trust with my son, and that has made all the difference. We've seen such meaningful progress -- my son is now able to follow instructions and always tries his very best in every session. We truly appreciate the care and dedication that goes into working with him. My daughter has grown so much since joining as well. She's becoming stronger, more disciplined, and confident. Out of all the activities she's tried, martial arts is the one she loves the most. She stays focused in class and is currently enrolled in kickboxing, but she's always curious about the other martial arts programs they offer. I love seeing both of them grow stronger!

With Covid-19 Mr Castro and the team have made valiant effort to keep the kids entertained and he can't wait for his Zoom karate class. Not only is he able to get his weekly activity in but we are able to schedule live 1:1 with teacher Ramon. The specialized hand delivery of the new belt was amazing. Thank you all for everything you do during this hard times.

I don't get the great reviews, and here's why: 1. There are…read moreway too many students in the classes I saw. 2. The classes were chaotic and disorganized. 3. I tried very hard to understand what the instructor was saying, but he talked too fast and it was too noisy with all the chaos. If I couldn't understand him, then neither can his students.

I highly recommend the programs/classes here!!! You will NOT be disappointed! Sensei Mark Cameron…read moreis amazing with the students! My child has been training here now for 2+years. They teach Shaolin Kempo & Shotokan Karate. The training includes physical exercise, strength training, and self defense. BUT- even more than the physical training is also a component of the program that I think really sets MMA apart from other karate classes. Emotionally strengthening components of the programs & classes including self control, accountability, courage, confidence, kindness, self respect, respect for others, and so much more!! The quote from Sensei Mark Cameron states that at Manteca Martial Arts they believe that: "A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline." To me the quote is a good example of the balance of physical & emotional teachings here.

I really do not have a single bad thing to say about the instructors, the ladies at the front desk, or any of the Muay Thai instructors that I watch conducting practices on the other side of the gym. I honestly was a tad hesitant due to the yelp reviews but the staff has been nothing but transparent with cost, make up classes, and have answered all my questions whenever I have one.

First Full disclosure : We have never used or personally attended any classes whatsoever! This…read morereview is purely based on in depth phone conversation only that we feel everyone should be made aware of before joining! We were looking for self defense classes because our son was being bullied at Traina Elementary so we thought to build our son's self confidence , mind, body and spirit as well if needed defend himself so we where attracted to American Top/Traditional Martial Arts called several and all answered phone except this one so left message and about 2 days later received call back and this is my understanding of that phone conversation . 1. 49.00 Special advertised: is 49.00 for 2 days a week for 2 weeks. Its a trail offer to see if you like the class or not from others I've called offer trials are for free But this one charges! I don't have any issue with this so I give it 3 stars as its just ok. 2. If you like the class and wish to proceed they charge 1 time $89.00 Enrollment fee Why ? and what's it used for is beyond me ? Most to my knowledge don't charge any Enrollment fee and since it goes to nothing and no uniform I see that as money in the facilities pockets so I give them 1 star in times with COVID AND JOB LOSSES I see this as a major negative impact on the consumer! 3. THIS ONE WAS THE MAJOR DECIDING FACTOR THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF: They will make you sign a 12 month revolving contract with a 3rd party vendor from what I have heard has poor reviews with BBB that American Top Team/Traditional Martial Arts Studio has no control over and I as well as others need to be cautious of and read the contract very carefully! I did not read this contract because I have never been to the facility but, I did ask lots of questions and offered to pay 12 months in cash in advanced but apparently that wasn't an option! Why ? Use you imagination. If I was to guess I would say someone is making money from you or I by signing those contract because this 3rd party are not processing payments for free and martial arts studio has to be making money as well for their time in explaining and having you sign those contract ! something is not right and everyone needs to be aware of that . On a personal note : I don't understand why the Studio Are unable or unwilling to process there own recurring payments because I deal with small and some large companies all the time and some have lots of customers and every one of them process their own recurring payments as its done all the time without the need for any contract to make the customer feel comfortable instead of trapped into some contract . there just has to be an easier way: so for this I give (- 1 star) Very Disappointing phone call !

Before Pinnacle, he tried Jui Jitsu, and unfortunately, it was a very difficult experience for him. Since joining Pinnacle Taekwondo, the experience has been completely different and truly amazing. It has helped him so much, especially with his confidence and self-esteem. The instructors bring such a positive and motivating energy to every class. They genuinely teach, while always showing respect and adapting their approach to each student's age and skill level. I would especially like to thank Master Park for his professionalism and dedication, Mr. Vicente for his positive energy and professionalism, and the front desk team, especially Mr. Jorge, who is always keeping me updated about events, schedules, and important commitments. I also want to thank the entire team for the wonderful event this weekend! The picnic was such a fun and welcoming experience, with a beautiful environment, delicious food, and so much joy and positive energy. We are truly happy to be part of the Pinnacle Taekwondo family. I highly recommend Pinnacle Taekwondo! Thank you so much for everything, and 5 stars to this amazing team!
