What started as an activity to keep him active has become something he genuinely enjoys and looks forward to every week. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and incredibly dedicated to every student. They not only teach Taekwondo skills, but also emphasize respect, confidence, discipline, and perseverance. We also enrolled him in the summer camp, and it exceeded our expectations. The variety of activities kept the kids engaged, and the staff showed amazing energy and care throughout the long days. It's clear that the instructors truly love what they do and are invested in each child's growth. We're very grateful to have found this school and would highly recommend it to other families.

This is my unapologetically biased review of Teragi Jujitsu Academy. My two kids, my wife, and I…read moreall train here. If this review sounds like a love letter to this gym, it's because it is. The owners, professors, and coaches have cultivated a superb gym culture. This gym is safe, friendly, and supportive. The facility is modern and clean, and they've invested in a foam block subfloor beneath the mats for softer landings. As far as I know, this is the only gym in the area that offers women-only classes four times per week and a bi-monthly community open mat for gentlemen 40 years and older. My kids train here after school 4-5 days a week, and they love it. The kids' professors and coaches are experienced and amazing teachers. I'm especially thankful for the young coaches who were so patient and kind to my boys when they were hesitant and shy after first starting. And my pocketbook is especially thankful for the discounted rates for additional family members. If you're looking for a place where the whole family can train, grow, and feel welcome, I can't recommend Teragi highly enough.

My son has been attending Teragi for the last two years, so this review has been long overdue…read more The most important thing for myself was sending my child to a self defense art that actually applied practical methods of protecting oneself as well as a place that exemplified respect and self dependence. I've been to places where it seemed salesy or lacking authenticity. Teragi Academy is a place where they genuinely practice and instill jiu jitsu and its culture of honor and regard of others. The promotion of belts is carried out quarterly and only awarded based on merit. This is also something I greatly appreciate because I know many establishments that give out promotions for no reason at all. Since day one, the professors and coaches of this gym have been patient and meticulous in teaching techniques to the kids. Teragi has been instrumental in providing confidence as well as self awareness for my son. I've seen many of the other kids mature in their own ways for the past 2 years. It's always a wonder to see everyone come up together. For myself and my family, we seen so much growth and discipline in our boy. There's a comfort in knowing that our child is not left helpless and able to stand up himself as well as for others. I've been watching in the sidelines, two to three times a week, for the last 2 years. This is a program that provides a worthwhile experience. The benefit and journey is well worth the investment for anyone, young or old.

The pricing is more than fair and the kids can go as often as they like, allowing them to progress at their own pace and also work with the parents' schedules. One of the coaches has even fought in the UFC, which makes NOCMA even more 10/10 legit. They discipline the kids, not allowing them to get away with horseplay, while also supporting them and building on their confidence. There are always more than enough instructors for each class, ensuring the kids are always safe and closely supervised. I would recommend North Orange County Martial Arts to any parent searching the perfect studio to introduce their children to MMA.
