Ronnie is the real deal! I started training in Thailand with legendary Thai fighters, so the bar…read morewas set pretty high even though I'm still a beginner just looking to stay fit and have fun. Ronnie quickly met and surpassed my expectations. He's got a watchful eye and offers personalized technical corrections that are easy to understand and implement. Each class is challenging and different so my body and brain don't get bored. The small group of men and women are welcoming, down to earth and work their asses off. Classes are held at Self Made Training Facility and it's solid - free parking lot, clean equipment, showers and only open to people with trainers, so it's never over-crowded. So happy to have found this gem and highly recommend Ronnie to anyone looking for authentic Muay Thai training.

We wear masks and its very safe. Jeremiah has an insane amount of experience with many fight styles as you can see from the descrition. This is helpful because he can go thourhg and cherry pick the most effective styles and combinations that help you to stay safe against many realistic threats like knifes, sticks, guns, multiple opponents ect. I feel much more confident if I'm put in a situation where I'm fighting for my life or the lives of others, and I'm just getting started. Check it out for yourself!

I've been training for about four months now and I have been quite impressed. What convinced me to…read morestay was that my first class involved knife fighting. Next class, stick fighting; the class after that, how to throw someone to the ground and it goes on and on like that. Each class there is something new or reviewing something badass like flipping someone. This is very hands on martial arts street fight training. There are various techniques taught from various martial art styles. If you want to focus on a specific martial art style there are private lessons available. I'm bald, fat, and sixty years old and if I can take these classes you can too. Shifu Jeremiah is patient (and I have tested it) and will take the time it needs to give you the training and confidence you need to carry forward. If your on the fence, take a look around you and consider the world you live in. On my first day of class I learned how to parry a knife thrust and return the favor. Don't wait to be the next statistic, you are either a sheep, a wolf, or a sheepdog.

The kids really want to work for him, but if they mess around in class, they're off to do a few pushups in the corner. He teaches TKD for all levels, as well as kickboxing. He does a morning workout class for ladies only, too. I can't comment on that, as my old worn out knee wouldn't stand for it, but it's become really popular with the 20 and 30-something moms. Reasonable price, reasonable contract (you don't have to give up your life savings or your first born in the contract). He also offers a military discount, which is a plus around here.

Short version: Omar changed my life too! His motivation and kindness have kept me physically (and…read morementally) in shape for over six years now. Omar is not only a phenomenally talented trainer, he is one of the most wonderful humans you could meet. Longer version: When we started, I was SUPER out of shape from working a very sedentary job. The inertia of having to plan workouts for myself was hard to overcome. Omar was incredibly patient and encouraging. Less than a year later, I was back at my college clothing sizes, and I blazed through a hike up Mt. Olympus in Greece. Since then, I've seen Omar twice a week, nearly every week. When COVID shutdowns happened, Omar easily switched to Zoom training. Thank goodness because I needed those workouts more than ever during those times. No matter if it is Zoom, or in person, working out with Omar is always fun, challenging, and something to look forward to. Everyone I know (including my best friend and also my sister) who has worked out with Omar has said the same.

Omar changed my life…read more I have always exercised (mostly running), so I started working with Omar just to learn how to box. That training was great, and he is so good at his work that we ultimately added in strength and conditioning training, mobility, and injury rehab and prevention. As a result, I became -- in my late 40s -- fitter than I had ever been. Omar is also just an incredibly good person. You can tell that he cares about helping people, and that makes him a great fit for anyone at any level of fitness.

Sensei Jason changed the name of his studio and moved locations, so I am moving my previous review…read morehere. I attended Jason's Women's self defense class for about four years. Its a great environment to learn self defense strategies while getting an amazing work out. And hitting a punching bag as hard as you can is just plain fun. Crescent kicks are my fav. I always felt like I was learning new things and challenging my body. Tackling floor bags and whaling on them never gets old. Sensei Jason is a great guy who pushes you just hard enough to make sure you are challenging yourself but at the same time makes sure you arent going to get hurt. He is stern but also caring. These classes are great for coordination, balance, and keeping your brain alert. This is a great alternative for someone like me who finds it hard to keep a regular work out schedule since I get bored so easily. I only wish he offered the self defense classes more than once a week! While I hope I never have to use the self defense skills I have learned from Jason, it means a lot to me that I have the training. I can live my life with confidence and self respect knowing I have the tools to defend myself from people much larger and stronger than myself. My boyfriend also took the Kempo classes with Jason and received his black belt. It helped him get into great shape and greatly improved his hand eye coordination. When we first started dating I didnt think he had an athletic bone in his body, and now I am constantly surprised and impressed at how much better he is at things like catching a football and throwing a frisbee. When we moved away he was really sad to lose Sensei Jason, and he has not been able to find any instructor in the two other states we have lived in anywhere close to his caliber. San Diego is lucky to have an instructor like Sensei Jason and we both miss our classes dearly.

Fantastic Martial Arts Instruction…read more My son has attended martial arts classes with Sensei Jason for over four years. Jason creates a sense of community in the dojo and he truly is invested in the character and physical development of his students. He is no pushover and he demands both respect and grit. He holds each student fully accountable for their actions, words and effort. He also knows that the hard work needs to be balanced with play as well. Jason's flexibility in moving to zoom classes as soon as Covid hit was a lifesaver for our family. The thrice weekly classes provided a routine, social outlet and a phenomenal workout for our now screen-based son. He would end each of his sessions smiling, breathing hard and drenched in sweat. Jason now holds outdoor Saturday classes which again is exactly what our son needed. I know Jason is eager to return to the dojo when it is safe to do so. My son says, "I LOVE doing martial arts with Sensei Jason. It is so fun because it's sort of in between work and play. It improves on your mental strength and physical strength. You learn so much and for me I feel it improves on my confidence. I would highly recommend it."

Our daughter (7 years old) has been training at this martial arts school for over a year now, and I…read morecan honestly say it has been one of the most meaningful experiences of her childhood so far. When we first enrolled her, it was simply to introduce a new form of exercise and help build her confidence. But what we discovered was so much more than just a class--it became a place where she grew, matured, and found something she truly loves. From the very beginning, I noticed how happy she was every time she stepped onto the mat. Watching her focus so intensely during class and seeing how proud she was of her progress made my heart full. Her confidence has grown in ways I never expected, and the joy she brings home--even practicing on her own--shows how deeply this has resonated with her. One of the things that stands out the most is the incredible consistency and structure the dojo maintains. The principal and the foundation of this dojo are grounded in expectations that are strict, but completely reasonable. Students are expected to come prepared, stay focused, practice, and give their best. And what's remarkable is how the instructors carry that same tone throughout every session--firm, supportive, and unwavering in their commitment to holding each student accountable. This level of structure has helped our daughter thrive, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Each Sensei is compassionate, attentive, and truly invested in each child. They all make sure each student receives equal attention, no matter their pace or personality. I love not only rooting for my own daughter but finding myself cheering for every child in the room. You can actually see them growing--not just in technique, but in kindness, courage, and respect for one another. What moves me the most is the culture Freestyle Martial Art has created. Yes, the kids compete with each other sometimes, but afterward they show such kindness and encouragement. They lift each other up. They celebrate each other's wins. They comfort each other's frustrations. That kind of environment isn't an accident--it's a direct reflection of the teaching, leadership, and values here. We are incredibly grateful for the impact this school has had on our daughter. Her confidence, her focus, her discipline, and her sense of pride have all blossomed because of this place. Watching her progress under such exceptional guidance has been a gift, and we look forward to seeing her continue to grow in this amazing community. If you're looking for a martial arts school that teaches more than just technique--one that shapes character, builds confidence, and creates a truly supportive culture--this is the place.
