Could not speak higher about SwiftKick. Came in with my girlfriend a couple months ago for the free trial class to learn some self-defense and now we train MMA twice a week! The coaches are amazing and the people in the adult class genuinely want to help you get better. Best decision ever!
Response from the owner: Thanks for the fantastic review, Joe! We enjoy having you both in our champion program. Thank you for choosing us to train MMA and learn self defense at our Carlsbad location!

We have been here for about seven (7) years, three days a week and all day Saturday. I can't speak highly enough, my daughter's teachers noticed near immediate improvement and she is far ahead of many of her classmates.
Response from the owner: David, thanks for the fantastic review! We love having your daughter in class and we are pumped to hear that you're finding improvement reflected at school! This is what we strive for at SwiftKick!
