  SB Dojo is truly something special. Their Hapkido and kickboxing programs are top-notch, led by skilled instructors who care deeply about both technique and personal growth. But what really sets them apart is their heart. They give back to the community in so many meaningful ways. From supporting our pickleball tournament for mental health awareness to organizing the Basket Brigade and delivering Thanksgiving meals to families in need, their impact goes far beyond the dojo. This is a community of incredible people and powerful role models. It’s the kind of place you want your kids to grow up around, where strength, kindness, and service are at the center of everything they do. We’re lucky to have them in our community.

  Master Curtis is amazing! He sets a great example for his students. His whole studio is very family oriented and his instructors that work with him are also excellent. Literally everyone here is encouraging and they make sure that you keep learning.and have fun! They teach so much more than martial arts here. They teach great lessons to practice on and off the mat. 😊👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you Santa Barbara Dojo!

  I am a Black Belt at MAFF and am very grateful to have such a nice friendly,safe place to work out. Not only am I very fit and healthy from going there for so many years I also have a social life which has benefited me a great deal. I am 51years old and many people are shocked when they find out as I seam much younger. I can not say enough good things about my school. We have all ages and abilities there. The teachers are all very kind and professional. My life has changed since becoming a Black Belt and since going to the exercise classes.

  I was looking for a new workout that I could stick with and stay motivated. My friend suggested cardio kickboxing. I wasn't sure I could do it... but we joined the KUT program and we've been consistent for over a year now. The results have been fantastic and I really enjoy the workout. There's always something new to learn, improving a move or learning a new skill, which keeps me engaged. The instructors and staff are great to work with and they've created a community of their members. I've met lots of great people and everyone is very supportive. Bottom line: It's a really great workout and it's lots of fun.
