Samurai Academy is an amazing place to train and develop not only as a martial artist, but as a…read morehuman being. I've been practicing martial arts since I was a kid, starting with Japanese jujutsu, then Brazilian jiu-jitsu. As I was studying and competing in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, I wanted to learn more about stand-up grappling, so I stopped in for their Judo class and boy I was hooked! Sensei Daniel Warren has helped me become more of a complete martial artist by teaching me more about take downs, throws and break-falls. Sensei Daniel Warren is extremely patient, technical and thorough. He is extremely humble, kind and motivating as an individual. He is a man of strong morals and character. I would recommend people of all ages to come and train here. This dojo is truly a gem. You will not regret stopping by!

The staff are extremely welcoming and are happy to teach and show you the ropes. What I like best about this place is that even though they of course focus on boxing there is a class for everyone. Even someone like me with no experience who just wants to try something new but also get a good workout in!

I love how personalized the one-on-one training has been. I have been going to this gym for the past 3 years and have noticed results. The coaches have been wonderful and accommodating to your needs (especially with private training). I love taking their boxing and kick boxing classes as well. Such a great stress relief. The coaches and managers always make class engaging. They and the other members are also welcoming as well.

Their approach to teaching kids is truly amazing. There's a really good mix of structure, instruction, encouragement, & corrections on improper techniques or etiquette. They cater to each child's individual personalities and push them hard or use a softer approach. I was hesitant to put my very very shy girls in a combat sport, but because of the gym's positive culture and coaches Ben & Brian, my girls keep wanting to comeback! A true testament to the Coaches and gym culture. I highly recommend Matadero Placentia for all ages and levels!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is something that everyone should try at least once in their lives. Whether you're young or old, it's something important to each person, in your own personal way. Some people do it for exercise, some people do it for the challenge, some people like puzzle solving, and others simply to have a routine. The fact that we learn something that can be applied to your own life is what gravitated me to this martial arts. Preparing your own self awareness, figuring out how to adapt to different situation, and just knowing that you control your own fate is what appealed to me. That is what Coach Jeff promotes, the dynamic approach to this martial arts, that no one answer will be absolute, and to ultimately be the best version of yourself. Currently my youngest son attends classes, and gives him the lessons of life to be more mature, and be responsible for others. Little kids can get nervous to getting hurt, it's new, it's physical. But after a few classes, he understand it's all a game for now, his teammates challenge him, but not try to hurt him. It's fun to do, and also rewarding for the mind and body. There are also other alternative classes under the monthly membership plans, such as Thai Kickboxing, Eskrima, Physical wellbeing classes for the older groups, and wrestling for all ages. I recommend this class if you are someone that wants something outside the box, challenging, fun, and want a coach/team that inspires you to do better. Not a McDojo, where you are forced to dress a certain way, or do some repetitive dance like move for protection. This is actual everyday application that you can use for self defense.
