I recently had the pleasure to train at New Breed while visiting Cali and I have to say what a phenomenal academy this place is. I am so happy my friend introduced me to this gym. Professor Johnny and the New Breed family were all so welcoming and enthusiastic about teaching. They took their time to make sure I understood the techniques. Unfortunately, I can't take you guys with me to Texas but just wanted to say what an incredible experience it was to train here. Definitely heading home with so much more experience because of you guys and I look forward to training here again!

My son loves taking classes at New Breed MMA. He is currently training in Judo and BJJ. All instructors are friendly and work great with children. I only wish they offered Saturday classes for kids.

New Breed was heaven sent for my son. Johnny and Richard were very welcoming since day one. They have helped my son not only improve in martial arts but also have helped him to grow as a person. The coaches are very knowledgeable, patient and always willing to help him with his techniques. There is a commaradity at that gym that I had not witnessed in any other gym. We are so happy that we followed our friend, Gabriel’s recommendation and registered our son at New Breed. I highly recommend New Breed!

New Breed certainly gives a family-friendly environment - everyone there will definitely start to become good friends. Consistency is obviously key for development. If you stay dedicated, they will definitely provide you with the skills that you need and you will start seeing the benefits from the physical health aspect in addition to becoming a proficient martial artist. Jiu-jitsu at New Breed also has been positive for my mental health in ways that I am still grateful for.

I have only been coming to New Breed for a few months, but in that time the entire team has made me feel like I am family. I feel like I’ve been coming for years. They notice when I’m out, they ask how my life is going, and it’s not like the gym where I put in my headphones and mindlessly listen. I feel like I am developing actual self-defense skills while I stay in shape. I would recommend this gym to anyone who feels like they need to get in shape, or anyone who just wants a place to feel that they belong.

I live in San Diego now, however before relocating I was a member of New Breed and I absolutely loved it. I miss the awesome workouts although they kicked my butt every time LOL… left me feeling strong and alive! If New Breed would open a club here, I’d joint it in a heartbeat.

Program & Pricing FAQs

My child isn't athletic. Can he/she still participate in martial arts?

Absolutely. Martial arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities develop them even more.

Are these martial arts classes fun?

Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids laughing and smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.

What's a good age for a child to start martial arts?

Age 5 is our recommended start age. We have young children, as well as teenagers. We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.

Can martial arts cause injury?

Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because martial arts gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.

Do you have to be in good shape to take martial arts?

Not at all! In fact, many people use martial arts as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape, and quickly become athletic and limber.

Is martial arts violent?

No! Because self-defense technique is taught in martial arts, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind martial arts revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.
