Elite Training Center

I cannot speak highly enough about how incredible this school is. All of the instructors are extremely skillful and masters of their craft, diligent and meticulous in caring for each and every student of any level, and welcoming and kind! My wife and I joined as complete beginners and have grown to love martial arts, and the students and teachers at Elite!

This gym has become like a second home for me. The classes are great and I’m learning so much, but there’s also a great sense of community here. I’m the type of person that always feels inadequate when I try new things but I’m always so encouraged by the instructors and my peers. I really can’t say enough about this gym. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a self-defense focused gym, look no further than Elite Training Center. While learning how to defend yourself and to protect those you love, you are also bound to build new connections and friendships here.

Everyone I have met at the gym, instructors and students alike, embody the school’s values of Respect, Honor, Discipline, and Strength. As you can imagine, when people of all ages and backgrounds of sound character come together, a strong community is built effortlessly.

The classes can be physically and mentally challenging, but personal growth isn’t given, it’s earned. At Elite, you will be able to grow and develop your martial arts skills while being a part of a solid community cheering you on every step of the way.

What a fantastic place, staff and members! I was a bit timid and procrastinated to join earlier. I started as a rookie, very basic. Once I walked in Katie made it very comfortable, then the instructors, and the members made it very easy and amicable for me on the mat. I quickly felt I belong here. Awesome group of human beings, You get to work out and learn new skills! You move at your own pace with great instruction and advise. Big time 5 stars. Well deserved. Elite Training Center rocks!

I absolutely love Elite Training Center! The coaches are so supportive and knowledgeable, and the training is top-notch. I always leave feeling motivated and challenged.
My Top 5 take aways are, Improved physical fitness and strength,
Increased confidence and self-esteem,
Enhanced situational awareness,
Ability to effectively defend oneself in dangerous situations,
Better stress management and emotional well-being.

The instructors are the BEST! I joined as a beginner and the instructors were not only patient and focused on helping me but also totally down to earth. The owners of the school are awesome and I’ve made some great friendships with the other students. I also like that they offer curriculum starting with the basics and ranging all the way to highly advanced levels … it gives everyone a place to start and something to aim for in the future.

Best martial arts gym I’ve ever trained at! In addition to kickboxing, BJJ, MMA and Krav, they do seminars on self-defense and also organize cool trips like training in Thailand!

As someone who had never set foot in a martial arts gym before, I was initially apprehensive about joining Elite. However, after a year and eight months of training, I can confidently say that it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

When I first started, my primary goal was to lose weight and get in shape. Brian, the owner and an exceptional teacher, recommended that I begin with Kick Boxing classes. His advice was spot-on, as the classes provided an intense and effective workout. What impressed me most about Brian was his genuine concern for his students' progress. With his vast experience, he adapts his teaching methods to help each individual overcome their unique challenges.

The other instructors at Elite, including James, Jake, Kujuan, Bobby, and Ashley, are equally outstanding. They have all been trained by Brian and adhere to the same teaching philosophy, ensuring a consistent and high-quality learning experience.

As I continued my training, I noticed that the benefits extended far beyond physical fitness. The skills and confidence I gained at Elite have permeated every aspect of my life. A recent experience in downtown Vancouver, Canada, exemplified this transformation. Walking through streets populated by homeless individuals and those struggling with addiction, I found myself instinctively assessing potential threats and adjusting my behavior accordingly. This heightened awareness and self-assurance were testaments to the profound impact my training has had on my mind and body.

The atmosphere at Elite is welcoming and supportive, thanks in large part to the wonderful staff. Katie, who runs the gym, is incredibly helpful and kind, ensuring that all members feel valued and cared for. Additionally, the membership prices are very reasonable, especially considering the unlimited training opportunities available.

If you're looking to improve your physical fitness, gain self-confidence, and acquire valuable life skills, I wholeheartedly recommend Elite Martial Arts Gym. The expertise of the instructors, the supportive community, and the transformative power of the training make it an investment in yourself that you won't regret.

I was in Torrance for two weeks for work and found this gym to help me pass the time. The training is top notch and everyone, staff and members, were so welcoming that I felt like family. I enjoyed it so much that I came 5 times. Sorta makes me hope for a work relo out here so I could be a full member. If you are curious about martial arts for exercise, competition, or self defense they have something for you. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. Oh, and they are for all age ranges too.

Thanks again for having me!

I'm based in NYC however Elite has become my "go to" place to train whenever I come into town for work. My friend Andrew first brought me here and I was immediately welcomed and embraced by the teachers and other students of the school. I've trained at various martial arts schools, boxing gyms and taken a handful of self-defense seminars - none of which compare to the quality and care of instruction that Elite has provided me with.

This gym really brought me out of my slump. I didn’t work out for years before coming here. I can’t stand normal gyms, but this place feels different. Very welcoming environment that pushes you every day. Can’t recommend this place enough. Amazing staff for all levels

Love coming to train here. Jake is an amazing kickboxing coach, and the community is super friendly and welcoming.

I was looking for a good motivating gym for me to learn basic self defenses mechanisms. When I found Elite and started going there I was so happy that I made a decision to train here. Everybody is amazing and all the coaches are so motivating and they make me feel like basically family. Everybody there cares and every time I go there I always feel so comfortable, not only that they also made me a better person. I love attending there classes!

Brilliant place, the instructors are all very patient and great teachers, knowing exactly how much input should be given without overwhelming feedback that gets confusing and stressful. The kickboxing classes are quite good, and are organised in a Basic/Advanced system where you get your form and other basics down solidly before moving into more complex lessons or sparring if that’s your thing. the head instructor Brian is a feat of human knowledge and movement, he knows everything there is to know about what he teaches and is spectacular at instruction. The size and passion of this review speaks for itself in regards to how i feel about Elite Training Center.

Come for the workout, come back for the technique, stay for the community. Elite has been transformational for me; the workouts are next level and challenging both physically and mentally AND the techniques we learn help me hold myself for confidently in the world. The trainers are kind, patient, and know how to push you to bring your best. Join…you won’t regret it.

This is such an amazing place, for exercise, and for finding a community. The instructors are amazing and the whole place is based on the community.
I know martial arts has this stigma about people who practice it being overly serious and aggressive but this place really isn't that. I would suggest coming in and trying some classes as you can get a week of free classes as a trial period before you have to pay.

Being a female it has been very difficult going into different martial art schools. The feeling like I don't fit in or that there are very few females. I love martial arts so I wasn't going to stop looking until I found a place that worked for me. When I walked into Elite Training Center I was immediately welcomed with a smile and such comfort that I almost forgot I was walking into a martial arts school. I received a free introduction of the entire school and a private instruction from one of their elite trainers who showed me everything they offered. While walking throughout the school I saw that the ratio between men and women was equal! The atmosphere was friendly and the training appeared exceptional. Needless to say I signed up and am loving it! Besides feeling comfortable they have so much to offer. I signed up for the Krav Maga and Kickboxing programs. I feel I have gained and tremendous amount of skill and even more so, CONFIDENCE. I truly feel that everyone ESPECIALLY women should take self defense and I 100% recommend doing it at Elite Training Center.

From the moment I walked in and was greeted with a smile from Crystal at the front desk I felt welcomed. Trying different centers from the San Fernando valley and to the OC I have shopped around. The team here are friendly and helpful. Katie and Jake are knowledgeable, kind and after my first week of lessons at no charge I am signed up.

Training at Elite has changed my life. I have learned so much from my years at the school, and the training has boosted my confidence, my fitness, and my mental well-being. From the top down, the instructors at Elite are experts in their disciplines and take the time to give each student personal attention in their instruction from day one. Elite is extremely gender and family-friendly. There is a near even balance of men and women that train there, and kids classes start at age five. My four-year-old can't wait until he is old enough to start training!

I feel VERY lucky to have found Elite Training Center! Highly qualified instructors, clearly committed to bringing out the best in each and every student, combined with a family and supportive atmosphere, have helped me learn an incredible amount in a relatively short amount of time. The ability to cross train, (Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, MMA, Kali) allows for each day, and lesson, to be a fun and new learning experience. I train as much as I possibly can!
Always welcoming to new students, I recommend anyone considering training in martial arts, or just training to get fit, to give Elite a try.
