I'm really torn on this place..so 3 stars seems appropriate…read more I've been looking for a place to get back into boxing training and this place seemed to fit the bill- close to my house, relatively good air flow- huge roll up windows, and a wide variety of classes after 5pm which works really well with my schedule. They have a website so I emailed them, but never heard back. Meh, ok...no big deal. I called but the voicemail doesn't match the name of the establishment...but I did receive a voicemail and then a text from someone named Johnny (there are two Johnny's at this place so I'm not sure which one I texted with). We exchanged a few texts and I told him what I was looking for- boxing training/classes and I wanted to check out/watch a class...and he told me to come in on Monday at 5pm or 6pm. So, I went in at 4:50 on Monday...lo and behold....there's no boxing until 6pm, so I have no idea why I was told to come in at 5pm. Anyway...I hung around for a bit, spoke to Johnny (not sure if this was the same person I texted with), and received a class schedule. I was sort of sour on this place after that, but decided to give it a shot. Let me rate the class- the class is good. Coach Johnny (not the person who I spoke to about membership) ran the class and it was a solid boxing technique class. Having been in the fitness industry for years prior to covid, there were a few things concerning to me...like no cool down or stretching after class and no safety cues during the class...but I don't think most people would notice it. Newcomers are separated from the main class but once Coach Oliver saw I had experience, he told me to join the class. Membership is 125/m which is on par with other speciality training centers. I ultimately decided not to join for several reasons- while their paperwork to join was pretty standard like release of liability, 30 days notice to cancel....all standard....there was no option to 'pause' your membership for a medical reason. Also, the area surrounding the club gets sketchy at night. I wouldn't feel comfortable walking to my car after class alone after the time change. My search continues.....

Family Karate is the only school that made us feel home and seen. We tried it for a week, and we got hooked. Now it's been almost 9 years since we've been with them. After seeing my daughter enjoying it, i joined, too. I love it more and more, especially when we compete in a tournament. And bring home the medals or trophy. Grand Master Truscott and Mr. Packwood is well trained to any age. They are very patient and loving to their students. I have never seen a person who has much passion and patience. We have an indoor class now. If you want your kid/kids to be trained by a Grand Master and a 4th degree black belt without breaking your bank, this is your school. Try them and you will love everyone there. Thank you

He was very welcoming and patient as we asked questions about beginning levels, pricing and equipment. There are various ways to pay for classes here! You can pay by class, monthly, or yearly.

Most classes are group classes, but if you get a subscription you get 2 private lessons as well. If you partner up with someone, like a spouse or a friend, you get 4 private classes! They have a big female clientele, which made me feel welcomed and safe :) I look forward to coming back!

From the first time I went to look into the dojo I was approached in a friendly manner and right away made to feel welcome. Since joining I have found every one to be interested in knowing your name and eagerly welcoming you to participate in the classes. Sensei Kelleher has a professional and approachable teaching style where he is able to demonstrate techniques and communicate instructions well. Sensei is an expert in Aikido who also hosts an awareness of other Martial Arts where he can easily differentiate Aikido from them. Sensei and all the instructors are very safety conscious and always aware of the student's abilities and progress. I like the fact that Aikido is a martial art of body and mind where you not only get a good work out, discipline and traditions are an important part of the training. In this dojo these qualities are integrated into the dojo culture in such a way to help you develop as a person as well as someone who practices Aikido. For me the Aikido of Escondido Dojo is a great place to learn and practice Aikido. ~Brett

They genuinely balance respect, honest feedback and positive reinforcement to teach people of all ages. While kids learn the art of taekwondo, there is a huge emphasis on self-awareness, self-defense and personal discipline. Each teacher has a unique style and impressive approach to meet students where their skill level is and effectively guide them through graduated challenges that make them step out of their comfort zone, all the while, building their confidence and core strength. The leadership is a healthy mix of tough love, encouragement, motivation and support. While they were at a larger studio, they would hold huge events where students could bring a friend to enjoy things like Halloween Haunted House and ninja nerf wars. They also have fun activities like parents night out where they host young kids and tweens in an activity-filled night to allow parents a few hours of solitude on evening like Valentine's Day. Other events they encourage kids to attend are martial art tournaments, community events and so much more. There are so many great things about this school, that I could write a few more paragraphs about them. I highly recommend this amazing family-owned and operated martial arts school to anyone looking to hone an art form, fine-tune respect for others, build defense skills, boost self-confidence or have the desire to one day call themselves a black belt.
