Chief Chaz Siangco is an amazing instructor taking his family art (Pedoy's Derobio Escrima) and…read moreinfusing it with a modern combat system. There is a true sense of camaraderie and family spirit amongst the practitioners of this art. This is more than sticks, knives and blade fighting. It is a complete martial art. I trained there as a beginner while my work schedule permitted. I cannot begin to say enough great things about 'Chief' and his school. The school offers a two week free trial. It may just be what you've been searching for.

My teenage son started a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely hooked from day one!!! He's like…read more"mom, I don't need to keep trying this out, I want to sign up now!!" **They do a 2 week trial so there's nothing to lose and so much to gain!** Master Chaz is a great mentor to the kids, teaching them history, technique, and respect for the art and sport of Eskrima. What my son likes most about the class is the variety (no class is exactly the same) and that Master Chaz is patient (he isn't mean like my son's experienced at other dojo's), treats everyone like family (aka "Ohana" in Hawaiian) and it's lots of fun (work hard, play hard!). Highly encourage for anyone and everyone. Class prices are competitive and affordable (unlike what I was paying in the past for comparable kids classes). I am looking forward to trying the adult class when my schedule frees up!

The facility and knowledge are tops, patience limitless, and passion neverending.

My daughter's in the tiny tiger program and as any parent will know it's hard keeping a bunch of 3 to 6 year olds focused! Mr.McCloud does just that! He keeps the kids focused and has fun while doing so. As for the negative reviews......... many of the negative reviews paint Master Covento like the bad guy let me tell you something. If you're more than 3 months in especially 1year plus then come here with your negativity and dislike for the man then you need to have a good look in the mirror. It doesnt take long for you to know your likes or dislikes of the facility or owner himself. If it's taken that long then you're not as hands on as you should be We stay for the instructors. They are the ones spending the time with my kid.She loves it! Shes made so much progress! They have family day on Saturday where parents participate in class and its so much fun! Has me wanting to join but i might just roundhouse kick the ish out of my husband so I'll leave the karate to my minion and the instructors! Ps. Try it for yourself. They offer all kind of specials. Also, all ages and i mean ALL.

I have been training at Level 5 Jiu Jitsu for several months now and this gym is top notch. There…read moreis plenty of parking in a spacious business plaza lot. As far as the interior, there are 2 huge, and I mean huge mats with classes often taking place simultaneously on both mats. There are classes all throughout the day and evening, starting at 6 AM on weekdays and ending around 8 PM (In addition to a limited schedule on both Saturday and Sunday) so everyone can find a class that fits their schedule. What I found great was that they have a fundamental class for white belts only, so if you are new on your journey, this is a huge plus. Excellent vibe here of training hard and safe, while teaching and learning to increase proficiency. I have gone to classes in the early morning, at noon, and evening, and all have been led by top notch professors who are excellent at not only their own proficieny in the art of jiu jitsu, but also at conveying it to their students. There are also additional programs such as boxing, judo, and sumo if you are interested, not to mention a packed and thriving childrens program. Whether it is your first time, or you are coming back after a hiatus, or just looking for a new gym, come by and roll with us! See you on the mats.

The studio has been there many years and produced many black belts, regional and world champions - a testament to the quality of instruction given at the school. I have had the pleasure of training with Master Leslie Salinas and she also has a strong dedication to teaching her students. Anyone who is looking to train or have their children train at this studio will learn not only martial arts - but how to unlock the potential within.
