The rolls with Academy members were top-notch -- everyone was technical, tough, and welcoming to a visitor. Professor Kevin was excellent. His instruction was clear and detailed, and he made me feel at home from the moment I walked in. You can tell the culture of the gym starts with him. The best part? I got tapped several times and had my guard passed more than I'd like to admit. That's exactly what I look for when I train somewhere new -- it exposed holes in my game and gave me a ton to work on when I get back home. No ego, just high-level jiu-jitsu and good people. If you're in the area and looking for a place to train, I can't recommend Caveirinha enough. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Santa Monica.

Gerry Blanck's Martial Arts School is one of the best dojos and best martial arts academy not only…read morein Pacific Palisades but in Los Angeles as well. I've been a student at this dojo and I've seen first hand how Gerry and his professional instructors such as Sensei Liam, Jake, Art, Mark, etc. train students to be disciplined and well versed in the martial arts school of Yoshikai. They instill values of striving for excellence, respect, faith, perseverance, and refraining from violent behavior. They have classes six days a week which include karate classes for children or kids as young as 3 yrs old (they are so cute to watch!) to karate for senior adults (who are inspirational!). Aside from karate, they offer self defense, weapons and kickboxing which I enjoy because it's good for my cardio and stamina. Their students also have gotten various trophies in competitions in California and other states. Only the best training here, indeed! This dojo has been in Pacific Palisades for over four decades. It's a pillar of the community due to Gerry's expertise, patience, and care for all his students. Students and families look forward to coming to this top martial arts school to better themselves as well as to connect with others. Thank you Sensei Gerry and staff!

In 6 months, she has learned so many things. She's more focused, confident, and prepared to deal with situations. Sensei Reggie teaches techniques, ensuring the kids learn to be tough, while showing great care for each of them. He also guides the kids on how to handle bullying at school. The kids work out, learn fighting techniques, and also spar with other kids. I am very happy with my daughter's results in a short period of time, I strongly recommend Sensei Reggie and the Fit 2 Fight Krav Maga.

I never liked open group boxing classes -- it was hard to figure out what to do as an absolute beginner, and the environments never felt very welcoming. FightFit is the opposite of that. The coaches are terrific and they meet you where you are. They do work to find the right fit for your personality and goals, which I appreciate. And they fight traffic to come to you, so you don't have to.

I would dread going to every session and to be honest I'd whine and complain during every workout until I just gave up. The difference with Frank is that even thought I complain he follows it up with an encouragement or sometimes when I'm really at my worst he switches up the workout to something that I can do that I wont whine about too much. I think that high energy combo of making the workout to my pace and listening to what I want to target and negotiating with me on it has kept me going for the past 2 years. I noticed I've upped my workout days from 2 half hour sessions each week to now 4 1 hour sessions each week. The best part of working out with Frank is that he commutes to me at my home gym or whatever gym I feel like utilizing at the time and I've shopped around and his rates can't be beat. HIGHLY recommend. Pros: Price. Super affordable for what you are getting Convenience. He'll work with you schedule and come to you if you have a gym Personality. Super nice and on point Cons: If you don't have a gym you can use the one he utilizes in Marina Del Rey but that would be an extra $15, however it'll be a good sweaty workout.

Candyce keeps it fun while she kicks my butt and changes up my routine every few weeks. She's great at explaining why she's having me do each exercise and at showing me how to do them.

I always leave my sessions with her dripping with sweat and feeling like I have just been through the longest hour of my life!

The trainers monitor every exercise so that people are doing proper form and are positioned correctly. In the 9 months that I've been here I've had no injuries, and mostly due to them emphasizing proper form and stretching. They pay particular attention to you and your fitness goals, and as experts in their fields, they offer great advice and suggestions to reach your goals faster, whether it be weight loss, muscle gain, endurance, or better nutrition. I'm always raving about how happy I am to have joined. I have met some great people here that motivate and inspire me on a daily basis, and I never thought I could say that I look forward to getting my butt kicked every time!
