Martial Arts Training Alliance

We found this place from Unilocal… My hubby and I checked it out on a Saturday after the kids sparring session. It was packed! For good reason too!
Sensei Vince is great— patient, kind and great with questions. His wife does basically all the membership & handles billing etc. this is a very family oriented dojo. They make you feel welcome.
They not only have Kempo, but BJJ, and mma boot camp class if your not into learning the arts & just want a good workout.
When you sign your kid up, parents train for free! Now that’s awesome in my opinion. Gi (uniforms) will cost you $ 30, t-​shirts $ 25 & if you will be sparring, I purchased ours online for around $ 50. Great investment though
My son is almost 4 and goes to the pee wee Kempo class & the kids beginner class, because he needs it lol he is one of those daydreamer and sweet 4 year olds, and after just a few weeks, I was amazed that he began remembering moves, and was getting really into a routine and building relationships with other kids and his Sensei, Andryah (Andrea?) it’s pretty awesome.
*tip: practice with them and build a routine for them to know this is part of their life and they should do well.

Can i rate more than 5 stars?
In around 06 — Give or take a few years — me and my dad enrolled at MATA. We we’re loving it and my dad was teaching classes as an advanced blue belt. Vince and my dad have gotten fairly close. At the time i was a purple belt. We had so much fun but we stopped since my dad’s job interfered with Karate.
So 6 months ago me and my sister enrolled — her for her first time and me for the second time. Our class immediatly treated us like family. They were friendly and helped us. They are like ym second family. Vince was kind enough to let me begin with my purple belt and catch up.
Still havemt tried sparring (im honestly avoiding it.) but i hear from my classmates its «SO FUN.» The dojo is tidy and clean. Needless to say i look forward to MATA. Training with Sensai Vince, Sensai Jonathan, and Sensai Randy, is a true blessing.

Found it via amazonlocal and now I’m kicking myself for not starting sooner. The workout is kick butt and so much fun! I highly recommend it!

I found this studio through AmazonLocal where I was able to sign up for the cardio MMA classes super cheap (for 2 months – I dont know if the deal is available anymore). I can say that I have so much fun working out at this gym that the only time I have ever missed was when I was sick. Professor Roger (who teaches the Wed class) and Sensei Vince are so awesome! The instructors and the other students are so motivational and you just want to keep going and giving your all. Great atmosphere and motivation here! Be prepared to really sweat these classes are intense! The cardio MMA classes are circut training primarily for the workout and fight instruction/​sparring takes place after that for those who choose to stay.

My son has trained with Sensei Vince Velez at MATA for 3 years. in that time he has achieved so much we just cannot thank Vince enough. He is going for his 2^nd degree black belt this year and is an excellent student. He is 7 years old. His success has been due to the teaching he receives from Vince and all the instructors. They make us feel like family. I am honored to be a part of their family and my son will continue to train with Vince for the rest of his life. This is not a substitute for babysitting but if you are looking for a place to get your child into Martial Arts, want he/​she to be challenged, grow physically and mentally then you need to call Vince as soon as you are done reading this.

I can say with much confidence, this is the best dojo ever. The head instructor, Vincent, has become a close friend in my three years of training here. The classes are always fun, and we learn a lot. There are three group classes a week for all students, including one day just for sparring! This is the most fun I have ever had doing anything physical. And the instructors and staff are always very courteous and honest. I started here three years ago and got my black belt here about a month ago. Such a great experience. It sounds a little trite, but this place changed my life for the better. =)

Vince is a fabulous enthusiastic instructor. Excellent for kids and adults. Adept at both Karate and Jiu Jitsu.
