    It is an exceptional martial arts school led by outstanding leadership. Master Nile is the epitome…read moreof hard work, dedication, precision and consistency. His passion for Taekwondo is evident in both his teaching style and daily interactions with students, striking a perfect balance between discipline and fun. He has a sharp eye for detail, nothing goes unnoticed under his supervision. He leads by example, inspiring children to become stronger physically, mentally and emotionally. He is a remarkable role model who demonstrates perseverance and commitment every single day, much like the legendary Bruce Lee. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, with each day is centered around a specific "topic of the week" that instills positivity, confidence, discipline and inner strength in students. Master Sunny is a wonderful blend of perfection, dedication and fun. She teaches children proper techniques without being overly strict and children absolutely love her. Mr. Noah is an excellent Taekwondo instructor who remains humble, follows the guidance of his seniors and continues to grow into an outstanding instructor. His dedication to Taekwondo is clearly visible. He is observant and humorous, keeping the environment structured yet light and enjoyable for children. All instructors, including the assistant instructors at MMA, live by the philosophy of providing the best training to children while remaining humble, approachable and fun, ensuring that kids never feel overwhelmed. One session that truly stood out to me as a parent was focused on teaching students how to face bullies with confidence and handle challenging situations. These are important yet difficult conversations for parents to navigate at home. When these lessons come from their Master with right approach, children truly understand and follow them, making the impact powerful. I believe all schools should offer such sessions, especially as children transition from elementary to middle school. From daily classes to summer camps and special events throughout the year, Mach Martial Arts creates an environment that children are genuinely excited to be part of. My daughter looks forward to every class and never wants to miss a session, which speaks volumes about how much she loves being there. Before joining Mach Martial Arts, we tried several other martial arts schools in the area, and none stood out the way this one did. Like many other parents, I truly believe that enrolling my daughter here was the best decision I could have made. If you are looking for a place that builds strength, focus, confidence, discipline and positivity in your child, this is it. This place has a vibe!

We are so grateful for the valuable teachings from Master Nile and Master Sunny over these two years. While Taekwondo is often associated with physical fitness and martial arts, I truly appreciate how they weave in important life lessons. There's always a thoughtful "topic of the week," and they consistently incorporate it into each session in a meaningful way. The environment is warm, welcoming, and incredibly organized. The instructors are always available to answer questions, and the assistant instructors deserve a huge shout-out as well--they are so encouraging, motivating, and patient with the kids. This has been our favorite after-school class so far, and we couldn't be happier!

Since she started, we've seen such an incredible improvement in her confidence, patience, and discipline--skills that extend far beyond the mats and into her everyday life.

They create such a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, build confidence, and have fun while being challenged.

She's made new friend and everyone is respectful. The staff is great, they know each kids name. They also have this awesome rule where parents are only allowed to watch the last week of the month to see the progress tour kid has made. Another awesome rule is that parents are not to get involved or give instruction to their kids. If you do, you will be told. I love this! You don't have to deal with any obnoxious parent trying to direct their kid. This place builds confidence and teaches. My husband loves the adult classes. The people are progressing and the environment is friendly. Make-up classes are allowed. They also have a Zen planner app where you can reserve your spot. The place looks clean and there is plenty of parking. Prices are reasonable. I would recommend this place for adults and kids. It's a great place with awesome staff.

Joining anything new can be intimidating, especially a fitness class. However, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is SO nice and welcoming - Koa staff (morning and night), all the different coaches and other people attending the class. Anyone with any level of experience is welcome. You can ask anybody for tips and help, and they will patiently guide you! I usually join Boxing and Muay Thai. I have yet to join Yoga, and I'm trying Jiu-Jitsu for the first time ever tomorrow :)

I think there are too many kids with different status (beginner vs advanced) and age ranges 4-16. When they broke into drills there was an instructor showing the 6 (ish) year olds the drill and then walked over to the older kids with another instructor. I was baffled. How do you leave little ones to do a partnered hitting drill by themselves? There were 5-6 instructors but they seemed to talk amongst themselves and not demonstrate or monitor the kids. Sandy stated they have students completing their degrees, who need hours coaching. So basically, volunteers who don't care. I'll keep my money. They need to reevaluate their business model and hire dedicated coaches.

    One World Jiu Jitsu Academy lives up to its name in its ability to unite practitioners of all…read morelevels and empower them to learn and train in an amazingly welcoming gym led by respectable, experienced coaches. Headed by Mike Prudencio, One World Jiu Jitsu Academy had its humble beginnings and has grown significantly through the years and within that span has been home to quite a few experienced BJJ practitioners. Mike and his team do a fine job in cultivating a strong community through respect for each other and the gym - the annual friend and family social events always have a good showing! Whether you've had some experience in the sport and are looking for a new gym with great people to train, a completely newcomer to anything related martial arts, or perhaps a parent looking for an extracurricular for your child, One World will open their arms to you with something to offer. Although One World was not our first introduction to Brazilian jiu jitsu while we researched for gyms, it ranked highest on our list due to the location, flexibility of the scheduling, training space, and coaching staff. Just a couple blocks away from the highway and being quite central in Newark, the gym is easily accessible. There's plenty of parking since most of the other establishments here aren't well frequented or mainly warehouses/non-customer facing offices. Adult classes are offered multiple times a day (early morning at around 630, mid morning at 11, and evening at 6) almost everyday of the week. The kids classes are also offered multiple days of the week (weekday evenings around 5 and Saturday mornings around 10). There may be different days/times for gi and no gi but they have a convenient online calendar that is kept up to date. Each session typically consists of warmups, drills, techniques, and open rounds of rolling. They also have two mat areas. The main mat area is huge and can accommodate large classes (sometimes the kids classes can get upwards of 30-40) with still ample amount of space for training and drilling. The secondary mat area is primarily used for no gi training when the main mat area is being used for instruction. And finally the coaching staff consists of some really experienced instructors in addition to Coach Mike. Their attention to detail and ability to motivate the athletes adds tremendous value to each visit. In addition, the instructors for the kids classes are so patient while firm to enable each kid to grow and advance at their own pace. For those looking to advance their game, Mike and his team of coaches will enable you to hone the fundamentals in addition to expanding your toolkit of techniques. The group of folks coming to this gym check their ego at the door and are all very willing to share and learn from each other. There are quite a few competitors who will certainly push your limits and help you get to the next level. If you're a newbie, welcome to the club! We all started one way or another but what's important is that you start and keep coming back. Time on the mat will level up your game and with some patience and dedication, you'll continue to build confidence, get fit, and develop practical skills for self defense and competitions. And as a parent, you'll feel right at home with fellow parents who have also sought out an activity for their children to participate in to gain intangible skills (confidence, self discipline, conflict resolution, social belonging, mentorship to name a few) while learning some practical techniques for self defense. They start children as young as 7 years of age but it may also depend on their maturity. I personally came in with no formal martial arts experience and have to say, it was one of the best decisions. As a father, finding a new hobby to enjoy on my own as well as with my children and redefining myself as the kiddos grow up has made this journey a very rewarding experience. The community has been great to foster that personal growth and it's been fun to bring the new generation into the sport. Overall, One World Jiu Jitsu Academy is by far one of the greatest places for an in-depth introduction and continued education of Brazilian jiu jitsu. If you're interested, consider coming in for a trial class and see for yourself if the gym and sport is right for you!

The Judo program is a bit separate from the other programs so I was directed to reach out via phone to the coach of the Judo class.

A lot of great small details were picked up from this class. Thank you for allowing me to come in and train!

    Highly recommend!!!…read more One of the best training environments I have had the pleasure of experiencing. If you're living in the East Bay (or the Bay at large) and want to train BJJ (as hobby, self defense, or to compete) in a top notch academy, with a high level of instruction, and a REALLY great culture ... this school is a no-brainer, just take a trial class and I think you'll understand. I am fairly new to BJJ, and this was the first official school I had trained at. I was nervous and a bit intimidated at first. But after my first class, I left feeling really grateful for the experience. There's a mix of levels. The higher belt students are really skilled, and the best part is .. they are super friendly, patient, and willing to help you get better. Everyone is respectful of each other and you definitely feel safe rolling. I think that's a testament to Denny (head coach) and the rest of the instructors. As a teacher myself, I'm really aware of people's teaching styles and philosophies. I am really inspired by Denny's approach, and it suited me. You go deep, and also have plenty of scenarios to get the concepts and techniques into the body. Each teacher has their own approach, so taking different classes throughout the week, you get a well rounded learning experience. As someone who gets very 'nerdy' about movement practices, I liked the diversity of approach available at the academy. Again, couldn't recommend this school more. Just try it out! I've definitely found my 'home' school! Thanks again Coach Denny and the rest of the instructors.
