We really love the El Cerrito Martial Arts camps! We have done both week-long and day camps. Excellent way for our two high-energy boys (6 and 9) to get their energy out in a safe and padded environment. Wrestling, dodge ball,… my kids love it. As parents we also appreciate the easy-going nature of the coaches and the flexibility for drop off and pick up within the standard 8am to 6pm day and the fact they offer day camps for days when schools are closed throughout the year.

Great camp experience! My child came home happy, tired, and grounded. They went outside every day, which I really appreciated. The staff creates a nice mix of structure, fun, and positive values. Highly recommend!

My 6 year old daughter loves this place. She did camps and weekly lessons there. The owner, Cody, and all staff are so nice and supportive. We love how kids of all ages play so well together. The absolute best place for kids and quite affordable, too.

All of our kids (4, 8, 10, 14) have taken classes at El Cerrito Martial Arts. Whether as part of the after school program, in form of camp during the holidays or just weekend classes - and they genuinely like it. Which isn't surprising at all, because the teachers - mainly Cody, Brin & John - seem to also genuinely enjoy what they're doing. It's impressive how they run the show allowing the kids to have fun and run free playing games and ensure at the same time that the kids stay in line. Sometimes our kids even do homework there after school, which is quite nice. The studio has a back room with tables and chairs. And as far as Jiujitsu goes: our kids have learned a lot and they keep getting better and better!
