Kugtar Mixed Martial Arts

Great place to train. Great energetic team!

Best place to learn karate!!!!

I've been with Kugtar since its day one, in the early 90's. This is by far the best place to learn from. This place is my family and am proud to be a part of this place. All age groups are welcome, whether it be for fitness or sport you will not be disappointed.

I literally just came here about two years ago to find something to do to keep me active but ended up finding so much more. Kugtar MMA offers great classes for children, teens, and adults where you don't just get fit, you learn an art, gain confidence, make friends, and get healthier overall. I started taking kickboxing classes to start and added Muay Thai, then Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Tang soo do. Compared to other schools this place is about cleanliness which is comforting. Master V has been doing martial arts for 35 years as well as competing in tournaments for 30 years. The experience and various types knowledge you get here from all the instructors in all the arts is invaluable. This is the place to be at if someone wants to make martial arts a part of their life style.

I joined Kugtar MMA a year ago after a while of searching for the right place to train. Aside from being kept clean and sanitary, It has a variety of Martial Arts classes you can take as well as just working out in their weight room. The instructors as well as the more advanced students are patient and helpful in helping sure you understand whats being taught. So if you are looking to learn self defense, interested in learning more, looking to become a fighter or just looking for a work out in general, Kugtar is the place to do it.

We looked at a few academy's in the Salinas area and decided on Kugtar. Initially for our 6 year old daughter to try out. Let me say after her first week trying it out she was hooked and so were we. The school is very welcoming and the kids program made it easy for my daughter to feel right at home immediately. The other students were very helpful and friendly. They offer a great rate for there unlimited program which allows her to attend every class they offer in any discipline, she took to all of them. After watching her excel in BJJ I couldn't help my self and decided to enroll my self. They offer great family rates so my wife joined as well. I love to work out and this class gives me a great workout, Plus the chance to learn a martial art while staying fit and active. That's priceless! Learn and Burn cant be beat. I recommend this academy to any one interested in trying martial arts or just wanting a unique way to get exercise. They have a great Cardio Kickboxing class and they offer MMA training for those who want the full experience of the cage. The confidence that comes with having a fit body is great, but the confidence that comes with the knowledge of self defense and a great body, again priceless. Their is also a morning class that starts at 5:30 for those who like to start early. A+++
