Final Strike Martial Arts, Murrieta CA

Best place to teach kids discipline and self control. Seeing growth and engagement in your child's development, you recognize that this place is there to build people with good character. Self defense and training is provided by great instructors who have a wealth of knowledge and whose teaching skills are different but mesh well with each other.

It was terrible they were yelling at my children for being not in shape. He cry’s to me everyday for trying his hardest and still not being good enough for them.

My two oldest children and myself love coming here. They love their instructors Mr. Bates and Mr. Cunningham, and always look forward to gaining more knowledge. Everyone is very friendly and supportive here. If you're looking for a place to build discipline, confidence, and self defense, I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else.

Every instructor here is efficient and pleasant! My son has improved so much in the last year and absolutely loves coming to his classes.

Our kids have grown so much at Final Strike. The students were welcoming when we first joined and the instructors made us feel included from the very start. Classes are challenging and fun and we look forward to going every week.

Classes are great and the atmosphere is very energetic. Professionalism is important to them and you can tell. I am enjoying my time with them and plan to continue to enjoy training.

This place used to be good but after covid, they started implementing things and trying to get more money out of you. They are discreetly forcing you to be a part of the black belt club (cost more) by removing programs from regular classes and can only be availed if you become a part of the program. They are forcing you to buy sparring gear and I understand that but now, you will also need to get a vest and face shield to participate and you gotta buy that again from them. Before they are allowing you to do non contact sparring. Now, you cannot do it anymore without a face shield or vest even if you have your sparring gear on (head, hands, feet). They have other classes that they are promoting to keep making you pay extra. This is getting annoying. It is clear that this is a marketing scheme to get more money out of you. It is frustrating. I'm not going back here again. It is a money trap. You might as well go to a different dojo because their teachings here are inferior and no quality at all. If your kids get involved in a street fight, he or she will get beaten up pretty good. You are better off doing Jiu Jitsu or Aikido or any other martial arts. I don't like leaving bad reviews but this is really getting out of hand. If you joined prior to covid, you will know the difference. If you just joined, you won't notice a thing.

* if you've been here for a while, you'll notice that the number of students are dwindling down. Probably the reason why they are doing all of these scheme so they can somehow stay afloat. I can sympathize with that but not in the expense of the quality of teachings and all these other marketing stuff. There is no honor in that.

We love Final Strike! It's been amazing to see our son's growth over the past year in martial arts, but also in confidence and discipline. He has started "teaching" his younger siblings everything he's learning in class. We so appreciate all the instructors and everyone in the Final Strike Family!

I am so thankful to Final Strike Martial Arts for helping my son become a leader! Noah loves everything he is learning and I can see more confidence in him. I tell all of my friends about this place because it’s such a great thing for them to be apart of. Thank you Mr. Robles and all of the great teachers you have! You are all awesome!

I highly recommend Final Strike for your martial arts needs. The values that our son is learning align with what we teach him at home. He is learning to be confident and dedicated to some. He is growing in his leadership skills as well. I enjoy that our son gets to see male role models teaching. We recently joined black belt club and we are loving the new techniques. I participate from the sidelines lol, but they do have family classes available. Having something that suits the entire family is rare. I am so glad we found Final Strike and decided to join.

After looking for the right dojo for my 7yo Bryan with Final Strike was the best decision. Shon takes a personal interest in ensuring students are signed up to the appropriate level. The classes available are flexible enough to meet our schedule. The curriculum is great with a good mix of discipline, values and self defense. Our son really enjoys attending and never has any complaints. Instructor's are well rounded keeping
lessons fun but structured for advancement. We plan on signing up our younger children as they come of age. Look no further, Final Strike is great!

After years of hearing my daughter wanting to do martial arts I decided to finally get her enrolled earlier this year and searched for the best place in town. Oh boy did we get lucky. Final Strike has exceeded my expectations far and beyond of what I had anticipated. The instructors (Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Torres) are top notch. Front office Mr. Bates is excellent communicating with parents and is very helpful with any questions we might have. After months of my daughter attending Final Strike she has enjoyed it so much that she now wants to strive to achieve her black belt with them. We love this place and I know you and your child will too.

My son started with Final Strike back in October and he is loving it! We love the huge smile he gets each time he learns something new! And as the parent I couldn't be happier! I love that my son is not only learning self-defense, but also seeing his confidence grow while learning dedication and respect along the way. All of the instructors, storm team, and even the more experienced parents are so welcoming and ready to help however they can. My son is learning so much and his little brother is excited for the day he can start too! We highly recommend Final Strike Martial Arts to our Friends and family, and anyone interested for their children or themselves!

After attending Final Strike Martial Arts our son Jacob’s confidence has risen. He enjoys it and learns so much. He now knows how to defend himself as well as the patience of mastering the technique. Everyone, from the instructors Mr. Cunningham and Mr Robles, to the black belts, are all smiling, friendly and patient. They take time to help and we enjoy the positive energy. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to be apart of this community. We highly recommend it to all our family and friends

If you're looking for a supportive community for your kids to grow and have fun, this is the place. Mr. Robles, Mr. Bates and Mr. Cunningham have been very patient with my energetic 7yr year old, with kind energy and reassuring to this mom who wasn't sure he would "make it". Not only did he belt up but he has improved focus, confidence and discipline in school. It has also been rewarding to watch other kids who have achieved their black belts, interact and lead the younger and less experienced kids. My 8yr old daughter enjoys learning the skills but especially when she gets to work with the STORM members. I've recently learned that STORM stands for Strong Team of Role Models and there could not be a better title. My kids have had most interaction with the teenagers and they are who you want your kids around and to look up to. They are kind, energetic, goal driven, fun! And most importantly, encouraging. Mr. Robles keeps the atmosphere energetic and even as an onlooker I smile and laugh and am quite entertained. I'm so grateful we returned for a second eval for my son and look forward to their journey here.

No reason to look elsewhere
Our son expressed his interest into Martial Arts but we did not know where to start. I cannot say enough how grateful we are to have located Final Strike. Shawn Bates is incredibly helpful well beyond just the first day and what a great family style atmosphere. Our son while unsure was asked on his first lesson if he was ready to come off with a smile and he does every single time. From our first lesson and every one since the instructors show their dedication in making these kids succeed. They have earned 6 out of 5 stars. Thank you Final Strike.
