We love OMA! They have a wonderful program with weekly themed lessons created by Prof. Beliso. Our daughter is learning about self-confidence, focus, and discipline.
Our son has built up incredible confidence, focus, and physical strength at One Martial Arts. They have become part of our village.
I can't say enough good things about OMA. From the instructors competency to the mission of OMA itself, this is a bright spot in so many lives. They truly want every student to succeed and do their best to help not only with the physical aspect, but with the important life lessons along the way that are essential to understand in order to live your best life. All of this, but at the same time they maintain high standards - so important in an age where everyone gets a trophy and so often the hard work and disappointment are overlooked or brushed aside.
Over the years, as I was observing the class and overhearing what the instructors were saying I wanted to jump up and cheer. They ask: What does it mean to be responsible? What does it mean to have discipline? How can you show your family that you appreciate what they do for you?
I have come to see OMA as a partner on my son's path to achieve everything he is able to achieve.
My son gets so excited to go to summer camp every day! This camp is a great mixture of outdoor and Indoor activities. He is so proud to come home with a new patch everyday, & breaking a board on his first day! I would recommend this great camp to anyone and my son will definitely be going back next year for summer camp!
My son has been at One Martial Arts for over 8 years and just recently earned his black belt with them, and I can't say enough about how amazing OMA is! We compared different martial arts studios initially and we liked the fact that OMA focuses on the whole child, not just earning belts. During every lesson the kids learn about values such as perserverance, family, hard work, etc. and are taught to live their best life. Over time, these messages really do pay off - I can see the positive impact that OMA has had on my son in everything he does, from school to music lessons to other sports. They also offer classes at multiple times, which is great for busy families, and have summer camps, parents' nights out, birthday parties, and a whole range of services that we used at different ages. The owners and staff are incredibly community oriented, and the instructors are amazing role models, very caring, and push kids to do their best. I really liked how as they kids got older, the instructors were still supportive but expected the kids to be more responsible for practicing and being ready for class. OMA is an absolute treasure for San Francisco famlies, and I highly recommend them!
One Martial Arts has been an important part of my(now 16 year old) son's life since he was 4 years old. He was a camper, a karate student, a junior counselor and now a counselor and after school helper. It has shaped his view of himself and his place in the world. It has made him more confident and responsible in all he does. Most importantly, it has helped him immensely with his focus-which is a huge issue for a child with ADHD. I can't say enough good things about the amazing instructors and the supportive environment. Send your children here...you will be amazed at the impact!
We love One Martial Arts. I’ve been doing the virtual kickboxing classes when my schedule allows and I always get a great workout! My son has been signed up for a few months now for the Karate (outdoors) and it has been so helpful for us through this pandemic in getting him outside, moving, learning a new skill and connecting with other kids and grown ups. Thank you!
I highly recommend kickboxing at OMA. I've been doing this virtual workout for a year now. It has been a fun way to stay in shape from the safety of my home during the pandemic. There are classes spread throughout the day making it easy to find a time that works. You can do the workout with or without a bag. Both ways are fun and a great workout. Lots of cardio mixed with strength training. All the instructors are great and make it fun. If you want to be part of an encouraging fitness community, sweat, and have fun, try One Martial Arts.
My teenage son has been taking Karate lessons at OMA since summer. He has embraced martial arts like no other sport or activity he's ever been involved with. He especially loves one to one instruction with his favorite instructor, Professor Brannon Beliso. OMA has a flexible schedule with many options both indoor and outdoor for all levels. OMA also gives back to the community in countless ways through free events for kids and donations to schools and non profits.
Great place to learn and get fit! Best kickboxing instructors in the Bay Area! Even throughout the pandemic, their team continues to challenge you to always do your best virtually and in person. I feel stronger and motivated after each workout. The kids programs are also top notch. Kids learn basic life skills through martial arts such as family, discipline, and respect. Added bonus are the private birthday party rentals available. My family loves OMA!
My daughter has been doing karate at One Martial Arts for almost 6 years. It has been a wonderful experience for her. The staff is professional yet caring. The owners are very hands-on and always around to greet you and check-in with your child. One Martial Arts is more than a martial arts studio, they become family.
My son is currently attending the Distance Learning Camp, and he enjoys attending every week. OMA's staff are professional and great at communication. The place is very clean and safe for kids to learn, play and have social interaction with one another. My son loves Karate lessons together with life skills. I would recommend this place since it provides excellent programs for kids!
I have had my children go to One Martial Arts for several years for a variety of events like birthday parties, parent’s night out, baseball/soccer team parties, lessons and after school camps. Each time we were impressed by how welcoming, professional and organized the facility is for a place often filled with kids and adults. My kids enjoyed themselves so much there and I really liked how the staff seemed to really connect to each child making it a memorable experience. My kids never viewed going to One Martial Arts as a burden, but instead as a reward or treat. Fair pricing and great customer service. Highly recommend them!
When I moved to the Bay Area I tried so many different martial arts/boxing studios looking for something that still held true to boxing but also was a good workout. One Martial Arts was that and so much more. All of the staff are so friendly and kind. The classes seemed to fly by since they are engaging & challenging. They also have great kids programs.
My 6 year old daughter has been attending OMA for the past couple months. She absolutely loves it here. Each class is themed with a life lesson (ie. Teamwork, Respect) that I as a parent I can appreciate. Not only is she learning self defense, she's having a blast doing so. We've had the opportunity to cycle through the various teachers and they are all excellent.
My family has been going to One Martial Arts for nearly 10 years. It has been a terrific experience. As someone who has practiced martial arts from an early age, One Martial Arts is one of the top of the schools that I have attended. The instructors are technically precise and incredibly patient. I would recommend One Martial Arts in a heartbeat.
My now 9 year old has been a student for the last 4 years or so, and my wife and I are continually impressed by this school. They are extremely good at connecting with the kids, both in the context of making the classes fun, and showing them how the skills being taught apply to real life. There's a clear emphasis on "life skills" like Respect, Manners, Focus, Effort, etc. while the actual martial arts come along for the ride. There's also incredible attention to detail as well, in terms of being very quick to learn, remember and use kids' names, excellent communication with parents and students outside of the classroom. We'll occasionally get a postcard or email from them celebrating a specific child achievement, birthday or other milestone, and it shows they are really focused on delivering an excellent experience.
We absolutely love OMA! The instructors really care, the place is kept clean and it has a very positive vibe!
My Son started about 3 months ago and Now can see the difference, He's doing great and getting stronger. He really enjoy every single class. Great Job One martial arts
OMA is a great place to learn martial arts for both kids and adults. Highly recommend!
Excellent staff and amazing facility! I highly recommend this school for anyone interested in MartialArts for themselves or for their families!
One Martial arts, is a great place for children not only for learn Martial arts, but life values that are important to grow up a respectful honorable caring person. My son has been taking classes for almost 4 years. He's learning and has so much fun there. We absolutely love One Martial arts.
I love this place! Great instructors and excellent curriculum. We are so grateful for this community and the opportunity for Trent to learn respect, practice, and discipline from them these last three years!
This karate school is AMAZING!! My 12 year old son just earned his 1st degree black belt and I am SO proud of him, but what's most impressive is how proud he is of himself. He's gained such confidence through professor's well structured program. A positive and nurturing environment with very dedicated instructors and staff to give your family a life changing experience!
Mounting studies and data show that the increased depression in our youth have a direct correlation with social media use. The Seattle school district is suing social media companies because they now have data that prove it negatively impacts student’s learning. 1 out 3 girls who use Instagram have body image issues. And it was […]
Dear Friends & Family, Have you ever beaten yourself up mentally over something you believed that you did that was wrong? Or find yourself saying, “I am really good at beating myself up?” For me, this is a form of self-bullying. It is a habitual behavior that does not allow us to live our best […]
Dear friends and family, Happy New Year and welcome to 2023. As we reflect on the past year, we take stock of our learned experiences, memories created, goals achieved, and of course, our losses. We do so with a deep sense of gratitude and a humble heart. We are all one year older and hopefully […]
I have many war stories about times I have behaved inappropriately or made bad choices. But I don’t believe that is what is important to share here. I do know that whenever I was confronted about my actions and asked why I did what I did, my response was most likely, “I don’t know.” I […]
I remember the time my wife and I rushed our then 4-year-old son Brayden to the emergency room with a severe croup attack. While there, he stopped breathing and went Code Blue. His lips were blue; his eyes rolled back in his head; and his little body shook violently. I remember when the attending doctor […]

For those of us who […]
CHANGE is an absolute in life. It will happen whether we like it or not and it cannot be stopped. I personally choose to embrace the ebb and flow of change like a dear old friend no matter how challenging it may be. I welcome it as an opportunity to learn, grow, and become a […]
Every morning when I wake up, I lie there for several minutes in meditation. I breathe in and say to myself, “I am breathing.” I breath out and say, “I am grateful I get another day to live my best life.” Next, I go through a gratitude list to remind myself just how truly blessed […]
As parents and educators, my wife Kim and I are passionate about helping our children discover their unlimited potential. We believe that if we empower them with a skill set to be their very best, that one day they can create amazing lives for themselves and impact others. Our dream is to be able to […]
As human beings, one of our greatest assets and liabilities is our mindset. It is about cultivating a system of checks and balances to create the most optimal and consistent state of thinking and feeling. Easier said than done but very obtainable if you are present and fully aware of where your mindset is at […]
I can’t look at my kids when they are fourteen and say, “Please be ten again, I have time to spend with you now.” Time is our most precious commodity, and we should nurture and invest in it wisely. Every day that we wake, we understand our commitment to earning, in order to best provide […]
As parents, we share a collective purpose to giving our children the tools they need to one day create an amazing life. We humbly accept that they will be out in the world on their own and our influence will not be as impactful as it is today. We cultivate experiences to help our kids […]
Being a parent can be challenging. We give unconditionally and sacrifice so much to provide our children with all the opportunities to discover their best selves. We hope that every memory we create and share with them will show them just how amazing they truly are and can be. Often we stumble and fumble around […]
Happiness is a choice, and I choose to make it my purpose to learn, practice and master it. Do I have to work at it some days? Absolutely. Am I always happy? No. But I view being happy like any relationship I choose to be in. I take the good with the bad because I […]
Goals are important because they build your self-worth and help you to better your life. To achieve goals, you must be able to visualize them. As the saying goes, “If I can see it, I can be it.” Write down your goals. Divide them into three lists; “A”, “B” and “C.” The “A” list are daily […]
My earliest memories of the martial arts were as a five-year-old boy back in 1967. My father and a group of fellow martial artists trained in the basement below our apartment flat in San Francisco. I remember the ceiling being so low that when they trained, they frequently bumped their heads on the beams that supported […]
