From the reviews

Amazing Martial Art Class!!!! Masters have incredible level of patience and love towards my 5-year-old, who is extremely shy and introvert. I see my little one's changes in the course of learning martial art with Keumgang, and seeing him getting yellow belt, tears are running over my face.

★★★★★ — Lin, Aug 2015

This place is amazing: really great coaches! Master Chris and his team are very attentive and always helping whoever needs more attention. We see a lot of progress in our son in a very short period of time! We highly recommend ACTION Martial Arts for any ages boys and girls!

★★★★★ — Kateryna, Feb 2026

All Masters, Instructors and staff are so understanding, patient and motivating for kids of all abilities and individual needs. We are so happy to see our son challenged while having fun and learning new skills including improved attention and focus. Love it here!

★★★★★ — Theresa, Apr 2019

I strongly recommend Keumgang Martial Arts Academy (KMAA), NOT associated with the prior martial arts that was in this same location. This is a great institution (about 9 months old) they are outstanding with the children and parents. My sons love this school, and I love what the school offers to them.

Your first BJJ class at ACTION Martial Arts | Tae Kwon Do | Jiu Jitsu | After School Program

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
