Bay Area's Best Karate

Bay Area’s Best is exceptional! Sensei Darryl’s genuine love for what he does shines through in his teaching style. My kids have been with Bay Area’s Best since 2016 and we've not only found a skilled instructor but also someone passionate about imparting martial arts knowledge. They’ve become our extended family, and I wholeheartedly recommend this dojo to anyone seeking a positive and enthusiastic environment.

Bay Area's Best offers it all - community, support, and inclusivity as one learns the art of this form of Karate. The dojo is family run, with an incredible Sensei that instills confidence, a love for learning, and respect. Our daughter practiced karate since she was 5 years old and has learned a tremendous amount about herself and her capabilities. We highly recommend this dojo - they teach more than just karate. Our daughter thrives in other areas of life after training in this discipline with Sensei. We love Bay Area's Best!

My two boys and I all take classes here. We LOVE it. They have a fantastic relationship with the children, allowing them to be kids while at the same time teaching them discipline. The kids are learning karate, gaining confidence, and improving their physical fitness. I think our experience can best be summed up by what my 7 year old said when he found out classes were only Monday and Wednesday for his skill level: "But I want to go to Karate EVERYDAY!!!"

My sons have been going to Bay Area's Best for a year now. They started in the "Under 7 years old class" and are now in the "7 and older class". They recently got to experience their first tournament and look forward to participating in future tournaments. Angelo & Abby enjoy learning from Sensei Darryl and Sensei Kyoko as well as the other mentors Aiko, Eric and Sissy. This community helps build self esteem, team work, self defense, self discipline and emphasizes that nothing is even given, it is earned. I am proud of the Karate team my children are a part of.

Both my Son and Daughter love going to class with Daryl and his daughters. The group of kids that attend his classes are also wonderful. My kids are busy playing club sports but never want to miss Karate. Daryl is a great Sensei. My daughter says that he is kind, funny and really knows Karate
