What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Oscar Lim
"Coming to Roots as a part of my Martial Arts Journey was one of the best decisions I made. Coach Jamie is strict, but that's what you want from a Coach in martial arts. You want someone who's not going to coddle you and push you, correct you when you're wrong, and help you get to the next level. I've greatly enjoyed my time here and compared to other places in this area, it's more affordable as well. You get an excellent workout with a positive community."
Ryan Bonifacio
"I have two of my children in the youth Muay Thai class. The class has been great for my two southpaws. Coach Jaime is great very attentive, firm, and fun. I highly recommend taking up some classes if you have kids. They also offer classes for bigger kids and adults. There is also BJJ classes being offered. Great place, great instructor(s)."
Nicholas L
"I've done both the muay Thai class and bjj before transitioning fully to bjj. Coach Jamie demands excellence from you and is borderline perfectionist when correcting your technique. For bjj professor Vitor runs an incredible kids and adult program and is structured in his classes. He doesn't go on tangents or veer off topic. Step by step and to the point and makes it easy to learn. You will have fun training and in a safe manner. I have gotten injured but they were freak accidents. They're very diligent in supervising rolls and stopping unsafe techniques and positions. Space can get limited due to the amount of people but they find ways around it. Very clean mats and I've never gotten a skin infection in the 1.5 years I've been here."
Kenneth Tan
"So far so good. Excited to see the next 30 days and will update as we go along. ***May 2025 update*** Well, that 30-day groupon converted this guy to a long-time member. This place is awesome! Come free trial class and mention Ken to get no discount, lol. Enjoy!"
