We brought our 6 year old son in to "try out" Jiu-Jitsu and the instructors (Master Kravitz and Rachel) were super welcoming and offered a easy process to get started along with a affordable trial period which came with a Gi. Sticking with a 2 day/week schedule, our son is being taught lessons of self defense but also of discipline and respect in and out of the class. I've always heard that the training is only as good as the instructor and I can say that I feel we have one of the best in OC.

Jiu Jitsu is so much more than just a sport , it is a lifestyle and will transform your life for the better, Master Kravitz is the best instructor, and he is inspiring.

Master Kravitz and Ms Rachel have made an incredible impact on my kids over the past 7 years in their youth martial arts program. Every five weeks the program alternates between Taekwondo & Royce Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, giving the kids a well rounded martial arts education. I urge elementary school parents in Laguna Niguel to consider giving this program a try for the amazing amount of self-confidence and discipline that my boys were able to learn from it. USBA Rocks!

USBA is a great place to send your child to challenge and strengthen them both physically and mentally. My daughter attended her first class right after she turned 8 years old. Unfortunately, we relocated out of the area and she was unable to continue her training. That said, what she learned at the Academy remains an amazing benefit in her young life. Her mental strength and maturity has allowed her to transition very smoothly to a new area, school and peer group. She is also excelling on the basketball court, playing almost exclusively against boys (some as much as 4 years older). USBA's focus on both physical and mental strength has been extremely helpful on the court as well. I recently sent an email to Rachel Kravitz, updating her on my daughter. Here is a brief part of that communication:

"I believe it takes a village and, in her relatively abbreviated time, Fin grew both physically and, more importantly, mentally during her time with yourself and Master Kravitz. She is so much tougher and mentally stronger than the other girls her age and she learned a lot of that from USBA. Even though she is still just 10, she plays (basketball) games and tournaments against kids, mostly boys, as old as 14. It's both physically and mentally challenging, but she handles it all very well. I don't say any of this to boast about my daughter. It's simply one of probably hundreds of examples of lasting impressions that your program has on kids. In an age where many are treated with "kid gloves", children who have been challenged both physically and mentally have an incredible advantage and are much more capable of handling life."

Love this place! Our whole family has been involved with USBA's programs for over 6 years now. Our son will be testing for his Black Belt this Fall. He has learned invaluable life skills at this Academy. Master Kravitz and the Instructors have built his confidence and self-esteem. He has learned the value of commitment, perseverance and goal setting. They have top notch customer service and truly care about their students. They also have an amazing Muay Thai Kickboxing program, which this mom of three couldn't live without! Great calorie burn and stress relief, with amazing instruction! Thanks USBA!

My son has been involved with the program for 3 years. When my wife and I signed him up we were told they would help with things like confidence, being productive in school and at home as well as help with social awareness for making friends. Those services were not rendered. They also don't find it necessary to inform you when your contract is being automatically renewed or about any other extra fees. Their community participation goes as far as your next payment. I have spoke with other parents who feel the same way as well as adults who used their adult programs. I DO NOT suggest anyone going here.
