I Joined SMMA in July, and haven’t looked back since. The classes and workouts are great for people of all different levels. The coaches are the best. If you don’t understand they never make you feel bad, and will take the time to go over it with you 1 on 1. Everybody that works and goes there is so welcoming and kind. It just makes it that much better.

My son Alex has wanted to join a boxing/martial arts for a while now. I had been very reluctant to add extra curricular activities because he was reluctant to improve his grades. So he saw SMMA and we decided to try it out with their 3 class trial. He loved it. The instructors are so encouraging! So with a firm promise to focus on his grades and school work. We signed him up! He has been going 4 to 5 days a week for the last 2 months and he loves it! I am happy because he has never been more focused at school. His grades have stayed up and his teachers are all very happy with him and his progress! SMMA has not only helped him improve physically but academically as well as become more disciplined. Thank you to all the instructors at SMMA for all you do to encourage Alex!

I’ve really enjoyed my experience at this school over the last few months. It’s an incredibly welcoming atmosphere and all of the coaches are not only skilled at what they do, they are also patient, encouraging, and seem like genuinely lovely people. I also appreciate that the school offers such a varied curriculum. They are accommodating to all levels of experience (I am over 30 with absolutely zero previous martial arts training) and work to ensure that everyone feels like they belong. I think Sifu Victor has done a great job with providing an excellent learning experience and I feel lucky that we have such an awesome school in our area.

Went for a training trial and instantly felt what I was looking for. Good step by step instructions, no throwing you into a cage and yelling FIGHT. Glad I signed up at the end of class.

Very patient and helpful instructors... if you dont understand they explain 1 on 1 for you... awesome personalities and great place all around. I would highly recommend this place.

Unfortunately I never got to go to any of the physical schools because I moved from the area in 2018 but I am lucky enough to have taken classes under and with Sifu Victor Young. His ever evolving style is effective and practical self defense mixed with the hard hitting mixed styles of today with tradition and discipline.Everything you see on tv, whether it is sport or an action sequence in film comes from this martial arts lineage. All you have to do is sign up, pay attention, and enjoy yourself.

I wouldn’t recommend this place because during this pandemic people inside are not even wearing masks!What if the people that go there catch COVID-19. Even if masks are uncomfortable please try to keep them on at all times. Especially inside.

My son has been going here for just under a year and loves it! It has helped him learn how to work for things and has helped him lean to focus better! They are good with the kids and help them with learning the moves. The kids program is a mix of Phillipino kali, Jet ku do, boxing and wrestling. This gives them the ability to try different things and also helps mix up each training day.

My son began SMMAs junior program in November. His confidence, self discipline, and listening skills have increased so how much in the last 6 months.

I didnt grow up learning Martial Arts. I havent attempted until I stumbled until place. They teach a variety of different Martial Arts, and I gotta say, they do an outstanding job at teaching and answering any questions you have during the class. Im glad Ive decided to come to this place because it has inspired me to be in better shape and to build skills in Martial Arts. Honestly, sometimes I find myself shadowboxing or practicing a technique when Im at work or at home. Whichever instructor is teaching, Sifu Victor, or the boxing coach, Ron Richardson, you will not be disappointed and you will grow and better yourself, not only as a fighter, but as a person. Come and join the SMMA family. You will not regretted. 🥊🥊👊👊

Been there since day one, nothing but growth, great workouts, great people, cant wait till the new location. JoFo

It is fun to do the sticks and boxing part but it is not fun to do the horse stance and stomach training

My sons been going here for a while now. I Figured it was about time to leave a review. So far it helps boost his morale, keep them active, it teaches some discipline.

Awesome instructor(s) great for kids. Great for families. One of the most vast knowledgeable places for different martial arts in the kitsap area, with a passion for teaching. Great place to go. They teach grappling, kali and jkd, kickboxing and boxing. The kids learn a kung fu based system as well as the mma stuff.

They have a lot of variety for adults. There are different programs to choose from based on what you are trying to accomplish. All of there programs here are AMAZING. My two kids also go to the kids program. Our son Derrick has been doing so much better in school because of the discipline he is taught here. Our daughter is learning how to be more tough and how to protect herself. I highly recommend this place to anyone! My family has been going here for almost two years and have not been disappointed at all. Very affordable, well worth the money.

Since having my daughter join she had become more confident in herself. The staff is professional, kind and great teachers. Everyone feels part of the family and welcome. This a great thing to be part of. I am so glad my daughter wanted to do this! It’s been the best thing for her!

Very good instruction and great workout

Ive trained at quite a few martial arts schools in my life and this one is definitely top notch! Great instructors, friendly atmosphere, and a great curriculum.

I stopped in here the other day while I was traveling on business. To say they are welcoming is an understatement. This place is amazing. I wish my kids were with me because their kids class is fantastic.Its clean, kind, and the instructors were very skilled. Not only where they able to do the stuff... but they made me feel like Bruce Lee himself because I was able to pick up on it due to their great teaching methods.I recommend it.

Victor is AWESOME and very knowledgeable. This is the perfect Mixed Martial Arts Facility for anyone looking to get in great shape and learn self defense but also develop a family around them at the same time. Intelligent, passionate, and experienced School owners are few and far between these days so I suggest calling Victor and get your Journey started!

The best authentic martial arts school for beginners and advanced students.

Victor is awesome as well as everyone that teaches and assist here. Even the students are great and friendly. I didn’t know I could love working out this much! Great for all levels and no one ever makes you feel out of place.

This is an awesome place to train, that’s run by a family that cares about the local community! They provide great lessons from all skill levels! Perfect for kids too!

Victor young is a great teacher for beginners and advanced students. He teaches kids and adults. my 11 year old has been going for a couple years now and is always excited to go Victor keeps his curriculum evolving so they are always learning something new. I 100% recommend checking it out and taking a class.

I came to Victor in December of 2014 seeking help with several issues. Among them- over analyzing everything, over thinking everything, being very hyper and extremely overreactive. In other words, I was extremely challenging to train. Similar to a toddler. Fortunately for me, he is a very patient and skilled coach. He recognized my issues and created a customized curriculum to solve them. In 45 years, Vic is the only person who has been successful in helping me resolve these issues. When I was sure that I couldnt do it he insisted that I could. His persistence and faith in me have allowed me to do more than I ever thought possible in Martial Arts and life.

The whole staff at SMMA is willing to help you out on what you want to get out of martial arts.

This place is great! Lots of different kinds of martial arts are offered. Absolutely love it. I’ve learned so much in the couple months I’ve been here.

Amazing structure and curriculum, great instructors and students, this school offers many different martial arts to suit many different needs and personal goals. If I could review more than 5 stars I would, stop in and check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

SMMA is awesome, been going here a while now and every time I go it’s a fun and very sociable experience no matter the class I take. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn new things while having a fun sociable experience, the staff is very friendly and always willing to help or assist you with problems you may have.

My kids have been training with Victor for about 6 years now. In between sports and all. To see my daughter and son pick up what he teaches in a matter of days is phenomenal. Its the way he teaches that they learn so fast. Getting them tired out to is a big plus. Thanks Vic

While I have studied under three masters the one thing I like about Victor is that he knows how to teach anyone that comes through his door along with encourages children in their education and in having fun in his classes.

SMMA has a great staff the intructors are patient, knowledgeable and enouraging!

Victor is a very dedicated, patient, and devoted teacher who has an attention for detail that is unmatched. I would recommend him for someone of any age range or experience range.

I have trained in different martial arts dojos, in different countries, but this is by far the best. The variety of classes offered is just amazing, and SMMA (shaolin mixed martial arts) offers something for all age groups and experience levels. SMMA is not just plain kicking and punching, you will not just be thrown to the wolves, or in any way judged. Not only is Victor and the other coaches some of the most patient people I ever met, but also the more experienced students will go out of there way to explain you the right way. Victors passion for martial arts, and his knowledge is unmatched. The boxing coach, Ron Richardson is a 4 × golden glove champ! The number of new students is constantly growing, and the family becomes bigger and bigger. If you ever dreamed of learning martial arts, just looking for a better workout than just lifting weights, or trying to find inner balance, this is the place for you. SMMA offers beginners and advanced classes, and you have no limitations in how many you participate. Dont be shy, dont wait until next week, just come on by and jump right in.

Ive been going here since it opened its an amazing school and theres great people here you get to meet new friends and overall it a great experience

Victor is an awesome teacher ! His experience is really diverse too so he can help with a variety of martial arts.

Ive been studying with Victor since 2011, if you want to learn traditional Tai Chi, this is the place

Great teacher, fun and exciting new lessons each week! Great for all ages!

Victor Young is a great instructor, as a 10 year student I have personal experience with his attention to detail, and his dedication to his students. Victor is the real thing.

SMMA has brought so much to my life. Not just physically, but mentally. My mind is always going 24/7, and I never thought martial arts would be my solution. Being part of SMMA has given me confidence, taught me humility, made me believe my own strengths, and so much more.Its also family friendly, which allows everyone to follow the same path. Never in my life did I think I would be a true martial artist! Victor has a way of teaching each individual in a way they understand.I highly recommend SMMA for new students or experienced, young or old, disabled (physically or mentally), in shape or out of shape. Start where you are, and I guarantee SMMA will take you where you want to be.

Sifu Victor pushes his students to find and exceed their limits while at the same time being mindful of physical limitations of his students of a certain age and works individually to find ways around those limitations.

I love JKD!

Im brand new to martial arts in general, Victor is my first instructor. His classes are sometimes technical, sometimes conditioning, but always informative and fulfilling. I always leave with something new to practice, and we always reinforce the fundamentals. Kali is fun, and Jeet Kune Do engages the mind. Mr. Young comes from a distinguished lineage in Jeet Kune Do, and I feel honored to train under him.

Great place, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable

Love this place!!!!

I just recently started training here and Im in it for the long run.Great for a good workout and you see results of training paying off in technique just after a few weeks.The staff are super helpful and knowledgeable,For environment; its the most welcoming, home feeling place to be.Overall you wont regret going here, and its worth every cent!.
