Master Han is the designated representative for Chen Family Style Taiji Quan by the governing body out of the Chen Family. I have been attending for 6 years now and have markedly improved the 8 skills. I can't recommend Taiji enough as a Lifelong Mind-Body Unity practice and this is the best place to receive this treasure. Not only is the Taiji top quality, the Golden Rishi Qigong technique is more than incredible, something worth spending thousands to learn, but you get it for the low monthly tuition. Just try it. Please!

This beautiful, well-maintained gym is home to many talented and passionate Brazilian jiu-jitsu…read more(BJJ) practitioners and hosts a team of great coaches and mentors to continue improving your skills and techniques and also growing your passion for the sport. Although the name nor location stands out much at a glance as a gym for BJJ, it is well known among locals and visitors of their excellence and commitment to expanding the roots of the sport in this area. It's been heard near and far about their ability to bring in top practitioners for seminars and guest visits. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to come in for a couple sessions taught by Eric and his team. With multiple sessions a day, multiple days a week, it was flexible to find a time that worked for me and with people of all levels, it was a great opportunity to learn from some talented folks. They do host gi and no gi sessions so if one's more your cup of tea, consider checking their schedule to determine the best days and times to attend. With a private parking lot, it makes it also convenient to come in at any of their sessions and be able to hop in and out without worrying about finding parking or getting stuck in traffic while trying to navigate the constantly construction-ridden streets of Solana Beach. The first impression walking into Studio 540 was the immaculate training area which included the main area of mats but also the side areas, staging area, and bathroom/showers. Eric and everyone who came in were extremely welcoming and made the session a great learning environment. The training was balanced with warmups, drills, and open rounds and had a good pace to keep bodies warm and flowing. I only wished I had more time to come by more often! Overall, Studio 540 is an exceptional gym for those looking to get into the sport of BJJ as well as for those who are a bit more advanced and looking to level up your game. Their facilities are extremely clean (they expect team members to wipe and sanitize the mats after each session) and well-maintained. Their footprint in the community has quite a reach and brings in folks from afar to come train so you may have the opportunity to meet a great group of people. If you're looking for a gym to call home or simply a visitor interested in keeping up to speed and in shape, give Studio 540 a look!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Sensei Frank and all the staff/instructors at Practical…read moreKarate are. This is a great place for martial arts, especially if your child has anxiety. I have a highly anxious preteen daughter, who was very apprehensive about martial arts. Sensei Frank listened to my concerns, and our daughter started with one week of Spring Break camp, and completed two weeks of summer camp at the dojo. To see her blossom after just days of camp has been nothing short of amazing. Sensei Frank has a curriculum for kids to earn their belt stripes, and starts with very achievable goals which builds their confidence to keep trying and striving. I highly recommend this dojo!

They had a try one class free so I completed the form on the site but never heard back. I ended up calling to find out if we could drop in to any class or if we needed to let them know in advance. The answer was just let them know when we wanted to drop on (and apparently there was an issue with the website not processing the sign up for a free class properly). When we came to class we were greeter by the owner Frank, who was super nice and had us review the consent forms and other paperwork. They have a small lobby with a TV so you can see what is going on in class but it is also a suite with a large roller door on the back so you can go around back to watch class (if you like). We decided to sign our child up and they were given a uniform and belt same day. We got an email with the tasks for completion to get stripes and earn the next belt. Kids are allowed to stripe test at the end of class. The studio is clean, staff are friendly and helpful and it seems to be a community feel (I don't go super often, I am the one to take my kid to dance). They have summer camp (and camps over break-we haven't attended one yet) as options as well. Overall a very positive experience and an activity my child enjoys doing!

We have been at this studio for about 2 months now and are still loving it! Shingong Guerro is…read moreupbeat, enthusiastic and his passion for martial arts really shines, especially when he's out on the mat teaching the kids. One thing I really appreciate about his classes is that he focuses on the whole - yes, he's teaching the kids form and technique, but he's also using the opportunity of his captive audience to reinforce values, morals, and safety tips. And from a black-belt school, you'd expect nothing less! Parking can be a bit challenging, but that's true of any local business in PB that doesn't have a giant allotted parking lot. As long as we get there early, we can always find a spot! We especially like the flexibility of the weekly classes and we had a chance to experience one of his regular Parent's Night Out events and LET ME JUST STOP YOU HERE. This is not your average PNO, no, no no. First, the event lasted about 4 hours and seeing as how it was gonna be past my kiddo's bedtime, I showed up about an hour before it ended, thinking I'd be pulling him away from a movie and that'd be it. However when I showed up, all the lights were on, the music was pounding and the kids were having a freakin ball!!! I'm pretty sure every kid had the same huge smile plastered on their faces and it was so cool to watch. I saw my kiddo having so much fun I thought, "I can't tear him away from this" and I sat down and joined a few other parents who were also sitting down (no doubt having come early like myself thinking this would be a mellow come-and-go gig). What followed for almost an hour after that was watching the kids play games, move around and stay active and lots of cheering and smiling. Heck, I even wanted to join in on the fun at one point! I was truly blown away with the level to which Shigong and his team planned and executed a fully -themed event that was fun, educational, and active. Never in my parenting history have I seen that event done so well. And that's how his values flow into his studio time too - always giving no less than 100% and willing to do what it takes to excel in his art. Kiiiyah!

If you are serious about becoming a better person and training deeply in martial arts, you should come and participate in a class as a guest. This is one of the best styles for protecting yourself and your loved ones because it is very discrete. Instructors here have the best interests of the students in mind always. There are no bloated egos and everyone is taught at the appropriate level. Unlike other styles I have studied, even minor injuries are exceedingly rare. There is a true spirit of self-improvement by both instructors and students. If you are a looking for martial arts training, no matter your level, you should stop by and see what Dojo of the Four Winds has to offer.
