From the reviews

I've been a student at Martial Arts America under Master Grant Tabuchi for the past eleven years, and have appreciated every minute of it. All of the instructors are amazing at imparting their extensive knowledge in various martial arts.

★★★★★ — Aady, Jan 2019

Best place in Fremont for Martial Arts! From the moment we stepped into the facility, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. We enrolled our son in taekwondo classes with Master Fong and his dedication to teaching martial arts is evident in every class.

★★★★★ — Ana, May 2023

I first joined Martial Arts America at the age of 5. I was a shy and timid young girl. I am now 17 and can confidently say that I feel empowered and able to defend myself if it was necessary. Throughout my time here, I have been able to not only build my physical skills but my mental skills.

★★★★★ — Garima, Oct 2019

This has got to be one of the best places to learn Martial Arts! When I first joined I had been hopping through many different sports to find what fitted me. I was shy and didn't have much confidence.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Confidence Dojo

Confidence Dojo comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a self-defense class, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or athletic to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build the fundamentals (stance, movement, and core self-defense techniques) over weeks, and controlled pressure-testing eases in gradually so every drill stays safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or Level 1 class time so your first session is alongside others who are also just starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first Krav Maga class at Confidence Dojo

Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Krav Maga is a contact activity. Ease in, train at your own pace, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
