Escondido Center for Martial Arts

“These days it is super rare to see people that are truly united. And yet when I walked into this place, I walked into a family. There are folks of all sizes, shapes, backgrounds and beliefs – and incredibly, all of them UNITED by a desire to better themselves and build up the people around them. I have learned something from every day and every person in this place, including lessons that I never would’ve learned without the discipline, respect, patience, and endurance that jiu jitsu teaches. This place is a living miracle – I still can’t believe it’s real. Words can’t describe it. Just get in here!”

“Amazing place to learn Jiu-Jitsu. No egos great atmosphere to progress your learning experience.. Highly recommend this place to family and friends ..”

“I signed up my son to help build his confidence, and the transformation has been incredible! I’ve seen such a boost in his confidence, and he absolutely loves it here! I really wish I had signed him up sooner! Will definitely be signing up my daughter when she’s of age as well. The instructors are amazing with kids. They are firm when needed but still playful and engaging. They create a great balance of discipline and fun. I couldn’t be happier with our experience!”

“The best decision I’ve ever made was walking through these doors. This place has become my second home. The instructors are top-notch and break down techniques into manageable steps that are easy to understand. My technique has grown so much since being here, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I have built lasting friendships that have become like family. It’s a fantastic environment that motivates you to become your best self on and off the mats. Come in for a free week trial, you won't regret it.”

“Here goes my first google review.. Stepping into this mat was one of the best decisions I could’ve ever made as a women in my twenties. The thing that really makes this place shine is the teacher Michael Rabello and how committed he is to his love of people, children, and the art of martial arts. He has truly created a community that feels like family. Honestly, a man full of respect. Also, this place is a great to form of discipline and environment to bring your children into. Jiu jitsu is a gentle art of fighting, so having a child committing to this sport has many benefits for their growth and mental discipline. It’s also fun! I wouldn’t go any other place, and hopefully I don’t have to.”
