From the reviews
My son has been learning Taekwondo since last 6 years. Master T and Master Fong are great teachers. I really appreciate their patients while teaching little kids. Last month my son received 2nd degree recommended black belt. They always encourage kids to perform. Its the best school in Fremont.
I've been a student at Martial Arts America under Master Grant Tabuchi for the past eleven years, and have appreciated every minute of it. All of the instructors are amazing at imparting their extensive knowledge in various martial arts.
Best place in Fremont for Martial Arts! From the moment we stepped into the facility, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. We enrolled our son in taekwondo classes with Master Fong and his dedication to teaching martial arts is evident in every class.
I first joined Martial Arts America at the age of 5. I was a shy and timid young girl. I am now 17 and can confidently say that I feel empowered and able to defend myself if it was necessary. Throughout my time here, I have been able to not only build my physical skills but my mental skills.
New to BJJ? Start at Confidence Dojo
Confidence Dojo comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Confidence Dojo
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.
