Hear from our Satisfied Members…
My daughter has been attending for about a year & a half now. Her self esteem has grown with the skills & sense of community she has received at LMAA. She is due to receive her purple belt, an achievement we are so proud to experience with her. We didn’t think she’d be able to follow through this far.
Mr. & Mrs. Bonifacio are wonderful people who have created a safe & fun learning environment for kids & adults alike. This has definitely been worth our time & money bringing our daughter to Livermore Martial Arts Academy.
Our son has attended LMAA since he was 8 years old and is on his way to achieving his second degree black belt. I can’t say enough about this martial arts studio and its staff. The staff is amazing and treats the kids and the families as if they are family. Our son has developed an unexpected love for martial arts and continues gaining confidence every day. He loves working with his instructors, classmates and going to martial arts each week. This is a great place for small children up to the adult level. We are so pleased we found the Livermore Martial Arts Academy family.
My son has been attending Livermore Martial Arts Academy (LMAA) for 6 years, and earned his 1st degree Black Belt. Aside from learning self-defense skills, the school reinforces positive values and morals. LMAA staff are not only great teachers, but caring people as well. I highly recommend this school!
Our family absolutely loves LMAA. The staff and instructors are wonderful and our experience there has been fantastic. Our daughter just earned her Jr Blackbelt and it has been amazing to see her transform over this journey from someone lacking a high degree of confidence, into someone who is strong, confident in her abilities physically, and who has started to take on leadership responsibilities. Thank you LMAA!
Outstanding school with instructors that have decades of training who understand how to work with everyone, no matter the age or level of experience. I am extremely happy with my training, and would highly recommend LMAA!
Love this Academy… Eric & Divina are the BEST!!!
We have been going to Livermore Martial Arts Academy for 7+ years, since our son was 5 years old. He is now 13 with his 1st degree black belt and working towards his next degree. Belts aside, this academy is a great place to have you or your child learn martial arts. The environment is very friendly and family oriented. Besides the good instruction that is provided, we have liked the way daily life issues are incorporated into their training, such as teaching kids how to handle bullies and bullying. In addition, the academy intertwines family into their instruction as they put an emphasis on family and the strength of the family unit. These traits, combined with the leadership of Mr and Mrs B., have made for a great experience for our son and his family.
Our son has been attending LMAA since he was three years old. Typically our children never had an activity that young. However, our son had a lot of energy and needed discipline and structure to supplement our efforts at home. In the past 8 years, we’ve seen him learn the principles of black belt, and take pride in his schoolwork. Mr. & Mrs. B have been great members of our parenting village giving support, guidance and love to our whole family.
This is by far the best martial arts place for both kids and adults in the entire area! It’s ran by amazing people and I would confidently recommend it to anyone interested?
My daughter loves going to MA here. They have friendly experienced teachers. I like that she get to learn a wide variety of techniques. Great place!
This place is awesome! The instructors really do a great job of meeting each child at their stage of development and helping them reach their potential.
My son and daughter (twins) attended basic skills classes at LMAA, and loved it! They learned balance, body control, focus as well as techniques in self-defense/anti-bullying/self-confidence – all in an encouraging, fun, and respectful environment. Kyoshi and Mrs. B focus on including families in the process. From goal-setting, to merit based acknowledgement, parents/grandparents/friends are encouraged to participate in the process. I highly recommend LMAA!
We were pointed to LMAA after the first martial arts school we attended could no longer meet the needs of our boys. Ma’am and Sir (the affectionate name the students have for the owners) have been wonderful for our children. There they not only learn martial arts, but also confidence, manners, anti-bullying techniques, and many, many other skills necessary to being productive members of our community. We look forward to many more years here and give our highest recommendation!!!
Both my kids are students at Livermore Martial Arts Academy and we are so happy to be there! My 5 year old tried a different program and it was a horrible experience. He was hesitant to try again but the instructors are amazing here and he is absolutely loving it! My daughter was hesitant as well to try and she too LOVES going! I highly recommend coming to this academy!
Our daughter has been with LMAA for almost 2 years. She walked in a timid child and has turned into a strong, confident tween. In addition to martial arts they teach critical self defense skills and character building. Our community is very lucky to have LMAA!
This place is fabulous and my son is really having fun and learning tons
Highly recommend LMAA. My son started as an early teen with no martial arts experience. His class was mostly teens and adults with 3+yrs of experience with several at black belt level. He was a little intimidated, but they immediately welcomed in and he was into the mix very quickly. He’s been there several years now and still loves it. The instructors are terrific with all age levels including adults, and with boys and girls alike. They teach techniques from different styles with a focus on self-defense and high character. They don’t participate in a lot of MA competitions, but if that’s important to you I’d recommend talking with them about it. I’m sure they’d work with you on it. If you’re looking to be a UFC fighter, then this isn’t your place.
