My son started as a 4 years old for a bit and then moved onto the 5-6 year old program. The program is very organized and we looked forward to the lessons. I found the flexible schedule and availability of themed camp day on OUSD non-school days were nice perks. There’s a sense of accomplishment as my son received his class stickers before being eligible to test for the next belt, which is very rewarding for a 5 year old!

I am a parent of a BAMA student and this is a great dojo to bring your kid to. Not only does this place help your kid build confidence but it also helps your kid control their emotions.

I first started taking classes at Bay Area Martial Arts since I was 3 years old! As I have been here for 13 years, I can definitely say my confidence and strength has improved greatly throughout my time here. While helping out with classes, I have also seen other students learn and grow with us and they have gained new experiences, friends, skills and more!

This is a fantastic place for kids to learn martial arts and grow self confidence, self control and respect for others. My son has only been going for a month so far but he is really enjoying it and I love watching him grow here. The senseis at BAMA teach martial arts in a safe and fun way that is tailored to each child's age. Couldn't recommend it more.
