Services
Students may take any of the classes offered in the self defense category which includes unarmed combat, weapons, and specifically firearms training. We also offer classes in survival skills, bushcraft, trapping, hunting, first aid, gardening, etc. We strive for self sufficiency as it relates to the concept of self defense.
Martial Motion Academy's Survival Skills combines Self Defense Skills (Empty Hands, Weapons, including firearms) along with survival skills, bushcraft, trapping, first aid, and combat hunter profiling. Train in all ranges of unarmed combat and be proficient in weapons. We use self defense movements from the Southeast Asian arts in our empty hands and weapons systems.
Realizing, understanding and accepting the fact that you are one of these individuals that are driven to help those in need can be difficult. But once you have accepted this fact, you must immediately improve your skills in survival. The unknown is one of the most difficult things to have to deal with in your types of jobs.
Combat Cardio Fitness was designed to give the participant the ability to develop natural fighting skills obtained while performing drills based on the Filipino Martial Arts, South East Asian Silat, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This cardio intense one hour workout will get you in shape, keep you in shape and give you the natural movements and skills for fighting.

I have been taking classes with guru for a few months now and I have literally never felt more skilled and understood as a student. Not only does he teach with excitement and love he allows you to learn and play for yourself. Sensai Rene reminds us that martial arts is a powerful tool for self defense but that it is possible to enjoy the process of learning and thoroughly delight in becoming the bad beast you already are.

I stumbled on the Martial Motion Academy purely accidental while I was exercising at what is commonly known as Lemon Park.
For weeks I had notice the class, and it caught my attention. I finally walked over to inquire as to what this was all about. I received a very warm welcome from the instructors, and the students in attendance.
Now, I’m 63 and have never done anything like this before. Although I have played other sports most of my life. I’m at a point in my life that I need to really find something mentally and physically challenging, but at the same time I needed it to be fun and safe

I took Guru Rene's Women's Self Defense Classes as well as one-on-one self defense classes. He took so much time and gave us more than physical solutions to handle our own safety. He taught us the mental details as well. It's hard to write it clearly: just know that you need to have your mind ready AND your body if you get into a situation.
Last week I was put into a situation that might have required I defend myself against a belligerent man who weighed more than me (but was my height...maybe an inch taller). I WAS READY. I did not flinch and knew I would be OK. The situation did not elevate

Me and my family love this place!!!
This is truly a Martial Arts Academy, many different styles mixed into one amazing school.
Guru Rene (Owner/Instructor) is an amazing man, he is so knowledgeable. He is so good with all of the children and adults that attend his academy, I think of him as a gentle giant. So kind/respectful but firm and everyone respects him.
He takes the time to get to know every single student and they all love him like family!!
His academy offers so much more then any other gym that I have been to...
My daughter has learned so much and she loves every single day that she

I can't believe it took me this long to jump into something so life changing. I joined after I turned 40 year and thanks to Guru Renee and all the helpful students at Martial Motion Academy my mind and body are more than ready for the next 40 years.
I searched all through Simi Valley and the valley for a place that I could open the door, for my 9 year old boy, to mixed martial arts. Through my search I found it difficult to find a place that held respect, disipline, structure and a teaching of a practical art that can be used in a real self defense situation. Not only did we find all that in Martial
