Sensei Oscar is an excellent instructor. He really takes the time to help us understand what we are doing and why we are doing it that way. His approach to teaching is very positive, as he pushes you to reach your potential and encourages you along the way. I haven't taken many classes, but I am looking forward to many more!

I have not done karate in over 15yrs, yet Sensei Oscar welcomed me with open arms. This dojo offers training in karate, judo, jiu-jitsu, and aikido. It may look intimidating from the outside, but inside, the community is incredibly kind. Coming here reignited my love for martial arts, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an educational, disciplined, and engaging experience—no matter their skill level. It's a place worth trying at least once, offering a gateway into a rich, global tradition.

Garcia sensei does an amazing job breaking down each Judo move and making it extremely easy to understand even if you're a brand new beginner! The small class sizes ensure you get the attention you need so you can improve quickly. The only problem is that they don't have Judo everyday 😂

Sensei Oscar teaches with a lot of humor that makes the classes enjoyable. He has a tremendous depth of knowledge across multiple Japanese martial arts, and often explains the 'why' just as much as the 'how'. With the small class size, Sensei provides a lot of individualized guidance and instruction. I highly recommend this dojo!
