My child didn’t want to go any longer so I canceled-3 times. He won’t cancel us and keeps charging my account. Says he will refund and never does. Just keeps charging us $85 per month and never reverses it. Now I have to get a new debit card. Really aggravating and not good business at all! 😡

My son attends the MMA classes here and I cannot say enough good things about it! The instructors genuinely care about the students and what is going on in their lives both in and out of class. They teach self defense skills, accountability, respect, and self discipline. Couldn’t be happier!!!!

I have been going to 12 Round Kickboxing and Muay Thai at JBMA for a little over 2 years. JBMA is the best martial arts gym I have ever attended. I have been to others and they don't compare. I have learned so much and have gotten so much stronger. I have lost weight and gained muscle. Sifu Jho and Sifu Eric are awesome instructors and are very knowledgeable. They really care about the students and the classes are so much fun! It is a very family friendly environment. JBMA also offers private lessons and self-defense classes and the children's program is the best around. I highly recommend giving

12 rounds kickboxing has been the best way to stay in shape. In my own experience, Sifu Jho has been very professional teaching us different techniques and ways to get in shape faster. I lost about 30 lbs in my firs two months without even doing any diets.
JBMA also offers martial arts classes for kids. My two daughters have been practicing JKD (Bruce Lee style 😁) at JBMA for about a year. I’m amazed to see how they’ve become very confident and disciplined. Sifu Eric and Jho are very patient with kids. Monthly dues are very low compared to other martial arts schools, and you defined get

We love this gym. I've been coming here for about two years now. Sifu Jho and Sifu Eric are fantastic instructors. The twelve rounds program is really well rounded. We do a lot of different exercises and circuit training on Saturdays. I've recently started bringing my 13 year old son here and it's been a blessing to get him out of the house and active during this pandemic. Plus, he loves it. Everyone at this gym is nice and it feels like a family atmosphere. The women's self defense seminar is outstanding. I feel like I can protect myself now with the strikes and defense moves I've learned here

JBMA has been just what our family was looking for. Our children are learning self defense skills, respect and self discipline. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable of mma and how to work and get through to children. The confidence and pride our three children have now is priceless. I also myself a 36 yo mom of three have been training with Sifu Jho and in just 3 short months I have lost weight, gained better coordination and strength that I have never had before. This is coming from a person with no athletic training ever. We are happy to apart of JBMA and hope they are around forerver

My daughter has been a student at JBMA for the past 3 years and has been trained by the best martial arts instructors you will find anywhere. Her confidence, athleticism, and discipline have gone through the roof! I have also received some amazing training from Sifu Jho Moraga who has an amazing wealth of different martial arts disciplines in his background. Please check out JBMA!

My kid has classes here. The environment is VERY family friendly, instructors are very knowledgeable, yet down to earth. They take time with kids. Other establishments' instructors teach children the same way as adults, which could get boring for kids, this place has dedicated kids classes and teaches them as kids. I like it a lot.
