I have been here for 8 years and I love it! I like it because it teaches you self-defense, respect and, other good life skills that are nice to know. The teachers are nice and always give you good feedback, they also are really cool and funny. so if I were you I would come to Bay Area Martial Arts.

The only reason I am giving this place three stars is due to the unfortunate service we got at the front desk. The teachers are amazing, but beware before putting your money down for group classes. We found out after we called a few times , visited a class and put our money down that we couldn't start our 3 year old for another month due to an evaluation appointment she has to initially do to make sure she is ready for the group sessions. We were getting different stories and the front desk seemed to have different stories with different peoole. Completely understand they would have this process but it would be good to know before we put the money down and invested the time considering how badly our LO wants to starts. So be very careful and make sure to ask a lot of questions bcause the front desk is not forthcoming with info. Otherwise the teachers are amazing and really loving, hopefully we can get up from #30 on the wait list and start sooner!

I've been learning here since I was 4 and I never imagined what I would gain from it after 10 years of training. After 2 or 3 yrs, I could see my progress while I was growing up and overall, I was more mature, street-smart, and more fit than the other kids in my Elementary school. After 10 years, I've gotten my junior black belt and became an assistant instructor at BAMA. Without learning martial arts from BAMA, I don't know who I would be now. Thank you BAMA, for changing my life and steering me into the right direction.

My son has been going here for a couple of years. Great instructors. They have a really good sense of how to tailor the program to where the kids are at, age wise. They manage a really good mix of hard core martial arts (or the need precursors) and fun.

I've been training here since 2008 I started when I was seven years old. Every staff member has been an essential part of my martial arts & personal education. They're constructive and work incredibly well with students of all ages. I have learned so much from my Sensei's that I know will stay with me for my entire life. the level of responsibility, work ethic, Self discipline, and focus that I have learned here is priceless.. And now as a graduating Senior in high school class of 2017! I can say first of all that this experience has helped me get into the college of my choice, and i feel that the Life Skillz that where taught to me have helped me to get to that goal!!! If you are invested in your child, if you are a parent of intent then send your child here it will be the best investment that you could possibly give to them!!!!
