Bushido Fight Team

Awesome Gym, full of kind people who like to share their knowledge with one another.

I have to give them a bad review for terrible communication. I received an email reply saying they had classes for kids on a particular night. When I showed up the next day they said there was no class because the instructor didn’t show up. I emailed multiple times trying to get the phone number of the instructor. They wouldn’t provide it and I never got a call. I wasted 4 weeks so I’m moving on. If you can get some attention maybe they’re ok, but I couldn’t.

Dojo Bushido is unique because of Jimmy’s philosophy, which incorporates a strict code towards learning. While are levels are accepted and greeted with a warm welcome, Jimmy will bring the warrior out in you. You have to understand that even if you’re there to just get in shape, Jimmy will treat you no different than his most accomplished student. What this means is that he’ll take the time to teach you and hold you accountable to fixing your mistakes. With so many schools out there that focus on huge group classes and cardio, Bushido will beat one technique to death until you learn it, all while getting in a great workout. I’ve trained in NYC and Los Angeles… and even though both former schools have been outstanding, Bushido has a good mix of various martial arts that will up your game. It’s a family like environment where nobody acts like they’re above you. You’ll find help on the daily from Mike, Alex and of course jimmy. Give it a shot… just be ready to train like you’re getting ready compete.

My daughter was very reluctant to do martial arts. We gave her a few tries before, and she has never returned there for the next class. This club is different. It’s small but very appealing. Children groups are smaller than in other clubs, so your kid gets more attention and support. So far, I am very happy with my daughter. It’s summer break for her, but every Wednesday and Thursday she’s in class to master her skills in jiu-​jitsu, or do work on boxing, and other sports.
Jimmy is a great coach. I like that he easily connects with adults and (most important to me!) children. Strict and kind, patient and commited, passionate and understanding.
If you or your kid are looking for a small but succesful club to join, give it a try.

You’re not going to get the kind of training at Bushido Fight Team anywhere else. What makes this dojo unique is that Jimmy pays close attention to the mistakes you make, corrects you in the process so you don’t do it again. He also pushes you to go beyond your boundaries and molds you into the martial artist or person you were meant to be. This is a tight bit environment and everyone is friendly and ready to train. If that’s what you’re looking for, then Bushido Fight Team is where you want to be.

I have been coming here for 6 months and I have to say it is a lot better than a conventional gym. Before coming here, I went to YMCA for about 3 years, never able to maintain any results I would get due to laziness, and would not work out as much after summer ended. At Bushido you really feel like your part of a family. The gym has a excellent staff of instructors. The prices are low compared to the other MMA gyms and boxing gyms that I have been to, and there is the added plus of no initiation fees with this place. I mainly just do Muay Thai here, but they also offer Jiu Jitsu and Judo.
I highly recommend coming here! Low price, convenient location, ample parking room, and a great staff of instructors. Come if you want to just get a good workout, you might get good enough to compete in amateurs or pros… who knows.

My 12y/​o son has been a member for a few months and I am so thankful to Jimmy and the rest of the team for doing an awesome job with him. He started off taking jui jitsu classes and has added muay thai and wrestling to his original class.
He LOVES IT!
Awesome classes, awesome instructors and awesome prices! Highly reccomended to kids!

You know i used to run 5 miles a day and hit the free weights for hours and then i lost all that discipline when i came to college. I’m really happy with my experience at the academy, all the instructors have different ways of training the class and the variety has been a big positive.
I do Muay Thai mainly due to fracturing my elbow a few months ago but once i’m cleared i can’t wait to do the BJJ. i’ve taken one Jui Jitsu class there and it was great experience to say the least.
They have just incorporated a boxing class on monday and i am also looking forward to trying that. If you want to train in a great environment and be trained by great teachers Bushido is where you want to be.
Talk to Jimmy and he will make sure you get set up right. It doesn’t matter if you want to compete or just get in shape your gonna want to be here.

Well this is my 2^nd time reviewing this gym because Unilocal decided to erase my review. It’s funny that a legitimate review could be erased for reasons unknown?
Well I’ll keep it short this time and just break it down to the basics. I’ll just say a few things about the gym as a whole.
The gym stresses respect, honor, and family. Everyone is friendly and checks their ego’s at the door. Jimmy Jarquin is the head instructor and is extremely laid back and friendly. He teaches Jiu-​Jitsu and is very passionate about the art. The Muay Thai teachers are top of the line and focus a lot on technique. The morning classes are for all the MMA heads that want to test their skills in some moderate-​hard sparring sessions. Don’t be afraid to take one in the cheek! It’s all love in the end.
This gym has basically changed my life. My confidence has gone through the roof. My inner demons and frustrations of life have been tamed to the point where my life is in complete equilibrium.
I joined in December 2009 and the family of warriors keeps growing each day. Check it out, there something for everyone. If not to become a fighter, do it to better yourself as a person!

OK amidst all the glowing reviews I guess I’m the first to be a d**khead! Until I found out what a caring instructor is like to train with I didnt even know how much I’d been ripped off by Bushido, just like Fairtex! (dont even get me started)
I had problems with the members and teachers alike from day one alot of people judged me because I have the audacity to be a ‘big guy’, and white too; I had problems with «Mr J» playing 3^rd grade passive-​aggressive head games with me, and he’s supposed to be my TEACHER! He was more concerned with shunning me than training me, at least at first until I played the adult in the situation. I got hurt several times, some was my fault, some was the staff’s fault (I was told: ‘oh, by the way, saturday BJJ class is for advanced’ only after I tore my abs doing 400 sit-​ups) and every time I came back to train (why I went back is a mystery) I was greeted with a scornful ‘where YOU been!’ from the STAFF. I actually felt discouraged to go back, so I stopped. If these people had any heart they would refund me at least half my pre-​paid yearly dues I fronted them (BIG mistake). Now they’re affiliated with another school so maybe its better but my memories are of a staff that doesnt care (I saw their «fitness trainer» WALK AWAY from her clients MANY times, mid session, to flirt with her boyfriend!)
The bottom line is the people running this place are green as can be and most have full-​time jobs so I have to wonder how much of a priority their gym is to them, I think it shows!

AWESOME gym that specializes in Mixed Martial Arts (my husband loves mixed martial arts). It’s conveniently located in the SF Sunset district, lots of parking, excellent MMA trainers, excellent classes and excellent customer service! They offer a variety of training classes that aren’t offered at your typical gym. I definitely recommend this gym!!!

Full disclosure, I am friends with the owners of the gym. But, being friends isn’t an automatic review. Yep, Bushido deserves all 4 of these stars all on their own.
They’ve got a great location, a decent sized area for classes, a full-​size octagon and it’s immaculate. I’ve been looking for a gym that offers fight/​box/​MMA classes for some time now, and Bushido offers everything that I’ve been looking for at a great price. They’ve got excellent trainers, all new equipment, and it’s a neighborhood gym with a focus on fitness and improving yourself.
The area is a tad small. My guess is if it’s really crowded, it’d be tough to find a space to work out. And they lack a large weight area and a lot of the fancy stuff, which, IMO, really isn’t that necessary anyways (you can do anything you need w/​o all that other stuff). But, they do have kettle bells and TRX cables which anyone can use at anytime which is very much appreciated. However, the primary focus of this gym is MMA which is the best part of it.

Great place. Great people. They offer many services from one on one personal training to BJJ, Muay Thai, and MMA classes. The facility is new and is always clean. Everyone from the front desk to the members are always friendly.
