Dave is a great instructor! I’ve taken classes with him in the past and need to get back into them. For now, my son takes classes with Dave’s wife and she’s so good the the little ones. The classes are very informative and fun; and the facilities are always clean and welcoming. They are a great couple doing great things for our community.

I just took my first self-defense class at Bakersfield Elite Martial Arts and I can’t recommend it enough! I learned so much in just one session and left feeling significantly more confident in my ability to protect myself. That boost in confidence immediately helped reduce my anxiety. Dave has developed and implemented a one-of-a-kind martial arts curriculum that’s both empowering and practical. The facility is incredibly clean, air-conditioned, and thoughtfully designed with amenities that make it easy for parents to work or for siblings to do homework while classes are in session. This place is a gem—welcoming, professional, and truly focused on personal growth and safety. I’m so glad I found it!

David and Gloriela are both amazing ! They are not only great teachers. ,, but they are also mentors. My son is 16. He started around 6 years old. With both David and Gloriela. They always have such positive feed back for the students. They incorporate life lessons within their teachings. I have so much respect for the both of them. It’s such a blessing because David is able to use several of the arts to incorporate the self defense. You will not get this anywhere else. David and Gloriela are not only teachers and mentors but have also become friends to both myself and my kids. And on top of that. ,,, they are very good at their art. And I’m so happy that my family has an opportunity to be able to be a part of these classes !

I took a women’s only self defense seminar and it was great. David and Gloriela gave detailed instruction with realistic tactics. I had taken a self defense class years ago when I was much younger, and it was a good refresher while also giving me new techniques I hadn’t known before. I will likely set up a class for all the women and girls in my family. I am not worried about being attacked, but I think it is prudent for all people (but women in particular) to know how to defend themselves with confidence and common sense techniques.
