Mumbi Ngugi
"i'm new, but i really like the sense of family here. the academy is super nice, the mats are white and incredibly clean. and it is as if a symbol reflecting the clean spirit of the academy itself."
Dulce Garcia
"I’ve had a great experience at Budo Tatami! Sensei is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about each student’s growth—both on and off the mat. The environment is respectful, welcoming, and focused on discipline and development. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train in a place that feels like family. Thank you Sensei for all that you do!"
Josh Rutz
"Really great place to learn kick boxing, jiu jitsu, and stay in generally good shape. I send my kids here as well and the sensei is patient yet firm for teaching discipline and self control. For me the big kicker is the flexible hours. I wouldn’t be able to go if it weren’t for the late classes offered"
Daniel Tinjaca
"I highly recommend Budo Tatami to anyone that is looking for Jiu-Jitsu classes. My son is seven years old and attends classes twice a week and loves them. He has been taught many skilled techniques and maneuvers from his Sensei, whom is an outstanding teacher. His Sensei has also taught my son to be respectful, disciplined, honest and loyal. The studio is fresh, extremely clean and inviting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Officer Daniel Tinjaca Sheriff’s office"
