This is a perfect class for my 3 year old grandson. They teach character building along with martial arts exercises and fun movements as well. They were very patient with him as he is very shy until he successfully joined in everything.

I have a 3 year old who has been attending FMA for two months. He is learning to follow direction and how to move his body better. Recently he passed the first belt test and was promoted to a camo belt. It was the first accomplishment and I was very proud of him.

Great organization with knowledgeable staff who seem to really enjoy working with the kids. They use a blend of styles which I really like since it incorporates the ground skills.

Not just a martial arts studio, a family and a community of people who are genuinely motivated to be the best people they can be. Most of my favorite memories over the past 7 years have been my experiences at USA Freestyle Martial Arts.

After doing Martial Arts on and off for the last 30 years, I came across this dojo. It is the most amazing place for martial arts. The senseis are so professional, with years of experience and yet very approachable. They have great methods of teaching for all ages. My whole family joined this dojo and it's been a great experience. I definitely recommend anybody in San Diego to take classes at USA Freestyle Martial arts

My kids have been going here for a couple years. My daughter loved her gymnastics and when we told her she'd have to make a choice, she didn't even have to think about it: martial arts! I attended a self-defense course here as well and they are amazing. Attentive, but firm, my kids are learning discipline, respect, and even public speaking! My son has always been a little quieter and this is helping his confidence. My daughter is super assertive, but very small and I love knowing it will be hard for someone to take advantage of her physically. All in all, 5 stars - for the intensity, the knowledge, and the genuine care the staff has for the kids.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. My daughter just started taking classes last month and absolutely loves it. The teachers are wonderful, the facility is immaculate, and the program is a perfect mix of physical skills and confidence building skills.

My 10 year old came in looking for a place to belong that would accept her for all for craziness and give her an outlet. The staff was amazing and the kids accepted her by the end of her first class. She looks forward to every class and loves to practice the moves she was taught in class.

Our two boys, 5 and 8, have been going to this dojo for almost 2 years now. They love it. They have learned so much and are getting so strong. They also have a lot of community events that the kids really enjoy.

My kids go there for martial arts. They learned a lot and love this place.

Freestyle has been such an amazing experience for our daughter. She normally is very shy and reserved,but after a while the staff and fellow students really helped her open up. The public speaking portion of class has given her the ability to deepen her critical thinking skills and oral communication.
Physically and mentally she is continually striving to be the best version of her self. Sensei Joey and Sensei jackson know when to give my child time to catch up to her classmates as well as when to guide her into pushing herself a little harder each time.

Besides Karate they also have plenty of community activities. It really was very sweet of them to give each child a holiday gift, host carnivals , self defense classes for parents,buddy days just to mention a few. My experience with the entire staff has been wonderful. We would love for our child to ultimately get her black belt with FMA.

Our 3 kids have been attending USA Freestyle Martial Arts for almost one year. The instructors are all fantastic. They take a personal interest in every family and student, creating a very supportive environment in which the students thrive.

We have been attending for over a year and we love it! They do an amazing job at engaging with the young kids and keeping them focused with a ton of fun activities. Our son is now 5 and is learning so much. Looking forward to many years to come!

My son started karate here about 10 months ago and has loved it ever since. He goes there for martial arts but also gets a lesson in self-control, public speaking, respect and perseverance. There are classes for all age groups and skill levels. The teachers are great with the kids and challenge them to be the best they can be at the dojo, school and everywhere else. Great place.

We just started bringing our 6 year old and 10 year old this year. I was reluctant to join but I am so glad we gave it a try. They have all levels of classes and they group kids by ability and age-specific classes. The Senseis and other teachers are amazing with the kids and the older, teenage students work alongside the teachers so there are usually 2-4 instructors working with each group of kids. Not only do they challenge my kids physically, but they also teach and practice public speaking, hand shaking, goal setting, self-control, and more. The kids are encouraged and motivated by special recognition awards to read and do well in school. I have even taken a women's self defense class there. It has been an all around great place for our family! I highly recommend it!

So, truth be told- I was a little hesitant to have my son start karate lessons. He begged me for a few years to start and so I finally relented and signed him up for an after-school session given by Freestyle Martial arts through his school. I now wish I had started him earlier- he has gained so much confidence and self control. He has now been at the dojo for just about four months and the difference has been noticed not only by myself, but his grandparents and his teachers at school. He is gaining so much more than just the physical skills and strength- the instructors focus on public speaking, paying attention in school and community involvement. I could not be happier to have him involved here and cannot wait for his sisters to be old enough to start classes as well.

My son started karate at USA Freestyle Martial Arts 3 years ago. He has learned SO MUCH. He really likes Sensei Jackson, the classes, and the tournaments. It is such a well run organization.

We have two siblings who attend and it's been rewarding to see them enjoy the classes and develop their skills including martial arts and public speaking. Highly recommend you check it out.

My daughter loves going to her classes. She is learning discipline and respect which translates well into school and Homework. :) I would highly recommend FMA to anyone that is looking for a place to train, Adult or Child.

Fantastic, nurturing community of senseis and students in a convenient location in Point Loma, right next to Phil's BBQ.
