Jonathan Hajimomen
"Checkmat Buena park feels like home. I have been blessed to have found this gym. The people and the atmosphere are 2nd to none. I am able to take privates with Professor Ronnie Holmes – and it has been life changing. Anyone starting or looking to progress – I could not imagine being paired with a better person to educate and train with! Not only did I find hands down one of the best instructors/professors in my life… but I gained a brother. I am currently a white belt, but I plan on making my whole journey with Professor Ronnie and all of the Checkmat Family! Thank you guys for everything."
