    My 5 year old girl has been growing a ton of confidence here. We started in jiujitsu and she was…read morehaving trouble leveraging her weight and figuring out the twisting of body parts with her partner. The competitive nature of that program and discipline didn't build her confidence much. Here, the practice is focused on the individual but also as a part of the collective team. No real sparring yet in the Little Samurai class, only some practice punches and kicks with chest protectors. Lots of punching bag practice for strength building and training. Lots of calisthenics as well with lunges, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, frog jumps, burpees, etc. Skills that they can use their whole lives and get stronger with. At the same time, there will be fun games like tag, dodgeball, red light green light to keep their interest and to work on reflexes. Excellent training in focus and active listening as well with focus claps, raising hands to speak, caring for others and awareness of everyone's space. These things I have not encountered in any other studio/dojo. I've seen many places that allow disruptive students or even parents. In contrast, here at 1st class, they don't teach blind discipline towards any instructor/owner but respect for one's self and each other. This alone is what keeps us coming back. This is what schools don't teach enough of. Not to mention the actual martial arts she is learning here. Channeling their chi into a strong Aiya, learning how to punch and kick correctly in self defense. Amazing program for little ones. Instructors are all black belts who are not only cordial, but also gentle yet firm. We fit in very well here and would highly recommend this program for little ones.

It went by a little fast but I'm not sure if my little one could handle and hr long class though. Besides the distance for us, we would have committed. We may consider later.

    Master Alonzo is one of a kind. As the parent of a very strong-willed and energetic 4-year-old, I…read morecan honestly say he is doing God's work. What impresses me most isn't how he handles the easy days - it's how he shows up on the hard ones. Even when kids (such as mine) struggle to listen, get distracted, or have difficulty following directions, Master Alonzo remains patient, consistent, and incredibly dedicated. Recently, after a particularly challenging class, he stayed an additional 30 minutes afterward to talk with my son one-on-one and practice the moves he missed during the class. Many instructors would have simply moved on. Master Alonzo chose to invest even more of his time and energy into helping my son succeed. He holds kids accountable while still making them feel supported, and he genuinely cares about their growth both on and off the mat. The discipline, patience, mentorship, and heart he brings to teaching are rare. We are beyond grateful to have him as a role model in my son's life. The positive impact he is making extends far beyond martial arts, and our family couldn't appreciate him more.

    I cannot say enough good things about Alonzo's Martial Arts. After a bad incident at a previous…read moreplace, my son Adam didn't lose confidence in himself--he lost trust in instructors. We were looking for a fresh start, and switching to Alonzo's was the best decision we could have made. He is super personable and remembers every single kid, and sometimes he will go over his class time to insure each kid learned fairly. Master Alonzo has studied child development, and it completely shows in his teaching style. He knows exactly how to capture the kids' attention and keep them motivated. Because of his expertise, he was able to earn Adam's trust and spark his interest in martial arts all over again. The progress has been mind-blowing: Adam learned much more in just two weeks here than he did in four months at his old school. He is doing so well now, and I couldn't be prouder of Adam for overcoming what he's been through. I am so deeply thankful and grateful that Master Alonzo is teaching my son!

    Lima is a fantastic place to train taekwondo and jiu jitsu. There are no egos. Everyone is…read moresupportive, humble, and respectful. The instructors really care about your training. I have been taking the Women's Jiu Jitsu classes for the past 6 months with Master Chris, and I love it. Master Chris is a gifted teacher, and her classes are safe and focused. We do a lot of drills, and she has a lesson plan for every class. You are not allowed to roll until you get your first stripe as a white belt, and even after you start rolling, she watches everyone very closely and makes sure people are safe. She is one of the most thoughtful and considerate people that I've met in BJJ, but don't be fooled by her kind demeanor. She is a badass (7th Dan TKD Grandmaster, 1st(?) degree Black Belt in BJJ). I am lucky to be able to train with her. Lima is very family friendly, and the kids classes are popular. I wish I had started at a young age. I highly recommend training here. Parking is free and easy. There are plenty of classes offered throughout the week here and at their 2nd location in Harbor City.

She's now 7 and has her Blue Belt and because of her I decided to do Taekwondo for a bit myself but due to a change in my work schedule I ended up switching to the BJJ class with Master Ica who is also an extremely good and attentive teacher. Before I started coming here I was 200 pounds, miserable , and had no motivation for anything anymore but after a year of consistent hard work, I went from 200 pounds to 160, my physical and mental health is at its peak and I feel like I've entered a brand new prime. I feel the best I ever been now at age 30 than I ever had even in my early 20's!! All the Masters are very patient, humble and will treat you with respect and there is NO egos whatsoever amongst any of the students from both the Taekwondo and Jiu Jitsu side, Everyone is very welcoming which is a big plus because the last thing you'd want is to train in a place that gives off bad energy. Unfortunately my work schedule has became very unstable so I had to put a pause on my BJJ but my daughter is still able to make it to her classes and I'm very proud that she has her Blue Belt in Taekwondo and is now learning BJJ in an environment where I know she's in excellent hands. If you or your kids want to learn Taekwondo or BJJ then I highly recommend coming here, You'll be glad you did :)

    Cannot say enough. We were looking for an activity that our 7 year old would become passionate…read moreabout, and we found it here. Our son independently practices sparring and forms at home and is genuinely excited before classes. The group is very welcoming and Master Lee makes a real investment in the progress of each student, while also promoting personal growth in them as well. We travel 20-30 minutes to the class and we would happily drive farther. Notable details include our son having the flexibility to attend multiple classes per week (though he insists on attending as much as possible). In addition, we have joined the sparring team, noting an incredibly welcoming family in both Master Lee and the parents and children involved in the team. All team members cheer for our son, with individual students coming up to him to him to encourage and support him every event. Finally, the team dynamic of the older students has provided incredible mentorship for both my son as well as his friends. He has developed a very mature and disciplined behavior at home, in part, from these interactions. I cannot recommend this opportunity more highly.

Our experience is for our 6 year old and our friend has an older son that has been with him for many years. I love that this is a non profit organization and they are helping under privileged kids as well. The classes are so affordable especially compared to other places and for up to 3x a week of practice! So many class options starting with age 3 and strength and conditioning classes for adults I will definitely try out the Fight Fit class myself! So happy we found Master Lee & PSP!!
