My kids have been with Final Strike for over 2 years now and I can't say enough
good things about this establishment. They are very friendly with the children and
leave them wanting to come back every chance they can. It has been so fun to
watch my kids blossom and mature under the guidance of the awesome
instructors. We strongly recommend this place!

My kids have been attending Final Strike Martial Arts for a while now and have
loved every minute of it. The teaching methods are structured in such a way that
kids are having fun while they learn about discipline, self defense, focus and
respect. I would recommend Final Strike to anybody looking for a fantastic martial
arts class.

I originally signed my son up with Final Strike because of a great introductory 6 week special I saw online. After just a few classes I knew we would continue with the program much longer. I love how the instructors are firm but fun with kids. It’s clear the classes are more than learning moves, it’s also about molding their students into respectful and responsible individuals.
I also like that each month they work on a specific topic like patience, responsibility, initiative, etc. I am able to incorporate these topics into our daily lives and help my son understand how he can too.
We highly recommend Final Strike Martial Arts.

Cliffs Notes: FSMA is awesome and ideal for kids AND parents- we recommend them to ALL of our friends. Kid loves the instructors and the experience, I love all of that plus the flexibility, the character building, the pricing, and the familial atmosphere.

Expanded: My son, almost 7, has been with Final Strike for 7 months and looks forward to every class. He loves them SO MUCH that he’s having his birthday party here next month!!
He loves the instructors- they are patient, kind, and funny.
He loves that his progress is noted and rewarded: There are regular opportunities to do belt testing and advance, there are monthly character building activities for the kids to do at home for which they receive a dog tag, and they get stripes on their belts for working on form and combatives. We tried a different studio for 6 months before finding FSMA and there was no advancement, no way to mark and acknowledge progress, and it contributed to a loss of interest. FSMA’s system set the kids up with goals and clear steps to achieve them, keeping them engaged and motivated.

As a parent, I love Final Strike Martial Arts’ flexibility- we can choose to attend any 2 of the 6 Kub sessions given on 4 different days at 2 different times each week. We don’t have to contact the studio to do this and it makes life so much easier! It lets US be flexible with field trips, family visits, sick days, etc without losing momentum of feeling like we’d have to miss a special event or skip something paid for. It also helps kid sick kids at home!
I love the instructors!! Every single instructor in the Kubs’ classes (and there are always at least 3 per class!! Love that ratio!!) is a Kid Person. They have that intangible quality that can’t be taught- they speak Kid. The kids, in turn, respect and admire them, instead of being nervous or wild. They manage to teach structure, discipline, and perseverance, while having great senses of humor- expectations are high and stress levels are low. Recipe for kid success!
I LOVE the monthly character building projects- they’re simple at the Kubs level, just a worksheet and an opportunity for a great discussion. Set a goal for the month and outline what you will and won’t do to achieve it. Clean your room without being asked. Identify kids showing gratitude and write something you are grateful for. The instructors talk about the life skill of the month during class and tie everything together. The kids get applauded and rewarded for turning in a completed worksheet. FSMA is teaching our kids a wholly realized discipline and integrating it into their daily lives- I fully believe this approach is giving my son a lifelong love for the practice of taekwondo.
Pricing is great- said studio we tried before was more expensive and lower return. FSMA is VERY fairly priced and there is amazing return on our investment. Dollar: Instruction ratio is amazing- especially with so many instructors in class. Even on days when the class is on the larger size, every kid gets personal attention and 1:1 instructor time. It’s amazing- they have it all worked out. Because they’ve been doing this a long time!
And most importantly to me- they treat everyone like family. They remember names! They do fun stuff like meet up to see the Lego Ninjago premiere! They do Parent Nights Out events!
And on a very personal note- they have been sweet and amazing from Day 1 to my older daughter with autism who comes to every single one of Brother’s classes. I judge everyone on how they treat my daughter and the Final Strike family impressed from our first visit.
We’re committed to FSMA because it feels like they’re committed to us

My 4 year old son has been going to Final Strike since January of 2017. At first I thought it would just be great for him to socialize and his old soccer coach mentioned martial arts can help the little ones when it comes to focusing. I thought why not try it he hasn’t started school and it will give him a set schedule. At 4 years old I wasn’t expecting him to retain much of what he was learning but to my surprise, my son was not only becoming more confident but also retaining so much that when his older cousins picked on him he was able to defend himself. The amount of confidence, respect and discipline that they teach them here is something I never expected. The instructors are great with all the kids they make class fun but also teach them so much. Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Torres and Mr. Morales have changed my son’s view on what he can do and given him a confidence that couldn’t come at a better time as he starts kindergarten in August. This place is amazing if you are hesitant to get your child started try the 6 week program and you will become a believer.

My youngest son Jaden joined Final Strike a couple months ago, with the promotion they have 6 weeks trial for $69. We had been thinking about several different sports he could start in and decided to give Final Strike a go. I must say a choice we do not regret at all. From the beginning the instructors were very open, welcoming and made us feel right at home, we received the introduction from Mr. Robles himself. Jaden was ready to start from day 1.
They keep the classes for the cubs within a time frame were they can stay focused and make learning a positive aspect, at the end of class they all sit together and discuss moral and values to were the little ones can understand and start to learn. Jaden loves the days he can go to class and kick some boards.
Final Strike you are the best, you bring positive energy and I recommend this place without a doubt.

Final Strike Martial Arts is a studio that is built to meet the needs of your child. They set acheviable goals and make it fun for your child. All of the instructors truly care about the progression of your childs skills and attitude. I couldnt be happier about the team at Final Strike Martial Arts. The classes keep the students interested and always cant wait to get to class.

My 7yr old daughter has been coming for 4weeks now, and she loves it! She loves the weapons and the twirling of them, very cool experience! I love that she has tasks she needs to complete at home and turn into her instructors. It gives her a sense of accomplishment. The instructors are awesome, they teach discipline and know how to have fun with the kids at the same time! I am very satisfied!

We signed up for Final Strike’s 6-week trial with every intention of not continuing after the trial ended knowing how much membership costs. We ended up changing our tune pretty quickly and signed the 1 year contract 4 weeks later.

To be honest, we had a bit of a rocky start with the instructors not telling us about certain things, like class cancellations and an assignment binder that we were supposed to get. I feel like we fell through the cracks on the communication front. Plus, the classes are scheduled so close together that it can be difficult to even talk to an instructor and then you only have a 5-minute window.

With that said, membership has still been totally worth it. Our 4 year old loves going to class and the instructors are so good with this age group - they are making every effort to instill discipline and listening skills while making it fun and even being silly. Even with this younger age group, they are great at teaching and correcting technique. We’re amazed at the moves and combo’s our son has learned so far. He’s also the type of kid that has trouble sitting still, and I like that they correct him and not let him get away with it. He has a ton of energy and they make the classes quick and high energy so it holds his attention just fine.

Final Strike also puts on seminars (our son LOVED the board breaking one!) and holds events outside of the school. We feel and see their passion and commitment to their students!

Great studio! My son also started with a six week program, what kept us going was the fact that my son wanted to keep going. The teachers build relationships on trust and responsibilities, I truly appreciate that so very much. These teachers are teaching our younger generations true values and that is why (I feel) my son wanted to keep going to classes after the six week trial. Even though my son admitted it was much more difficult than he anticipated he still has fun in every class. Thank you Final Strike!!

Our son has been going to Final Strike for a couple of years now. He has always been shy and quiet. Joining Final Strike has boosted his confidence so much. The curriculum and technique taught by the instructors is outstanding. Our son has grown so much mentally and physically and it has a lot to do with his training at Final Strike. We highly recommend!

We love this place!

Our 14 year old son wanted to take a self defense class and after doing some research we settled on Final Strike...What a great decision!

The instructors are excellent and make the classes both fun and instructive. Multiple instructors roam the mat during drills giving individual attention to the students. Our son has come to look forward to the classes and has learned a great deal in a relatively short amount of time.

The students are respectful of each other without regard to respective skill level creating a comfortable learning environment for the beginner. During the intake interview, the instructor stressed that this was a critical aspect of the learning experience and it shows during the instruction periods. This hardly happens by accident and the staff is to be commended for fomenting this type of atmosphere.

We didn't know what to expect going into this and are extremely happy with the experience thus far...We enthusiastically recommend Final Strike for anyone looking for either a full instruction in martial arts or just a self defense course that will serve anyone who participates, well for years to come.

We have 3 boys that have been going to Final Strike for almost 2 years now. From the moment we first walked into the studio we could not have been more happy with our experience. The staff is amazing- knowledgeable, supportive, funny. Our sons started out going to 2 classes a week and begged us to go more so now they are going to 7 classes a week! My husband and I are about to start taking classes too! FSMA has become our family and we love it!

My 5yr old son started Final Strike in Oct 2016 in the 6 week starter program, which offers many discounts on gear, clothing and yearly rates. He loves the classes and looks forward to going each day. The improvement in my son has been wonderful. The instructors are professional and make learning a fun experience for the children. This facility is very family oriented and everyone that attends (children and parents), support each other.

We love this place.
We signed up our daughter almost two years ago for the 6 week trial. We took her in mad and crying because she didn't want to try any sport.
Well almost two years later and she's almost a black belt, she loves Final Strike and won't give it up for anything . She's gained so much more confidence in herself and is now much more active at school and isn't scared to try new things anymore. She's gained the confidence she lacked. We do not regret signing her up at FSMA one bit. After the 6 week trial we looked at closer taekwondo studios but they didn't compare to how we are treated here. We prefer to drive the almost 10 miles from our house during traffic hours, than to find a closer place to home. The staff at FSMA is great and we have now signed up for the family plan.
It'll now be my daughter(12), son(5), my wife and I. As Mr. Robles said a family that kicks together, sticks together.

Final Strike Martial Arts have been amazing since day one. It all started with a very undecided ten year old daughter. She couldn't make up her mind on an extracurricular activity. She tried everything imaginable. I honestly saw the Facebook 6week trial and my daughter literally went to the first meeting in tears. Fast forward to almost two year later she LOVES it. My daughter went from shy to confidant and very disciplined.The instructors at FSMA are AMAZING!!! and genuinely care about all their students. They are really good and passionate at what they do. The energy in the studio is always positive and encouraging. My five year old was also was in tears for his first meeting and just after one class , He now loves it. He looks forward to going to class. We live in Temecula and don't mind the drive at all. It's all well worth it. Now, (per kids request) my husband and I are joining the team. A family that kicks together sticks together. Don't hesitate to give it a try and sign up!!!

My 8 yr old is fascinated with weapons and martial arts and has been begging to take classes. In searching for the right place, nothing beats personal reviews and Final Strike appeared to be the right fit for our needs. The first class in to a 6 week trial class and I knew we had found our home. There are several instructors on the floor for each class, they are welcoming and mix a nice balance of instruction and fun all the while giving lots of praise or gentle correcting to encourage proper technique.

Each week there is a focus on a personal trait for the kids to learn and apply to life, at home, at school and with others. The first week was about being open minded and choices we make daily to try new things or in our relationships. Trying new foods before saying its gross, or in decisions with friends who want to do something different that what we want to do, how to compromise as long as both choices are good ones.

Seven weeks in and we are committed, my son would gladly go daily if I would drive him. His confidence in himself has grown tremendously and he is committed to do the work needed to achieve his black belt and we are committed to support him as we see the results in all aspects of who he is. Final Strike teaches the forms of taekwondo but more importantly they are reinforcing and teaching the life lessons we are teaching him for life.

Whenever I consider involving my child in anything, I am always cautious with the people who will be influencing him. Making sure they don't crush his spirit by getting irritable with a child's natural livelihood.
As I have observed each instructor in their environment during the few weeks we have been here; I have never witnessed more patience and genuine caring for so many kids, all at once. I have watched at times when a child needed to be corrected, and I could not be more amazed at how they address the issue without ever getting angry, or frustrated. But only with patience and understanding in their discipline.
So for only the few weeks we have been here, I already find myself gloating to family and friends about how happy I am that we have found Final Strike. They truly treat you like you are a part of something, and not just a visitor amongst dozens.
I am so thrilled for my son to be apart of this, and I can't wait to see the changes in store for him as he grows in his physical abilities, as well as his character. I know we found the perfect fit!

I have been wanting to sign Carter up for Martial Arts for a while now, thinking that it would be a good fit for him. When Black Friday came around and I saw the 6 week special for $17.95 I had to jump on it! Since we have taken Carter to Final Strike, I have noticed a difference in my son. He has never really been very dedicated to the sports that we've tried him in, soccer, baseball, swim, etc...but I have noticed a big difference in his concentration with Martial Arts. I have never seen him so focused on making sure that he does all of the moves and forms correctly. He really tries to make sure that he does it right, even if he has to go at a much slower pace. He truly seems to enjoy this. Since he's been at Final Strike, he really cares about keeping his room clean, and he's been opening doors for me without me even having to ask. I had to sign him up for the full year! Thank you Final Strike! I can't wait to see what the rest of this year has in store for our family. See you guys at class tonight!

We originally signed with Final Strike with a promo deal for a 6 week class. Within that 6 week period I've noticed my 7 year actually looking forward to something and excited every time it was time for class. He's shown improvement in his attitude, as well as his focus at school. We've been apart of Final Strike for couple months and love it. The instructors are amazing and they really make you feel like family.

We have been taking our 9 year old son here for almost two years now. I can honestly say it has been great for him. He is more confident and respectful. I can always count on his instructors to help guide him in the studio as well as with situations outside the studio. We can't recommend them enough!
