Attended the Women's self-defense seminar held last Sept 7 and it was very informative! Great coaching technique by the Owner, Coach Jeff. Will definitely attend future workshops and invite more
people to attend.

I’ve been coming to Dream Martial Arts for 1.5 years. Coach is a great motivational kid friendly coach with a great skill set that can turn any one who is inexperienced into a trained fighter. The students are really friendly and there are regulars that help eachother in order to get better with the newcomers. I would highly recommended this martial arts gym to anyone.

You will not find another place like this.Coach Jeff is awesome! He is very dedicated to his students and has a passion for Martial arts. He works hard to bring out the best in all his students. My son has loved his classes and has showed so much progress and confidence in himself! Definitely check out any of the classes offered you won’t regret it!

Jeff has passion and compassion and makes an awesome instructor! He teaches little ones to adults and has the bandwidth to handle both simultaneously making him one of the most diverse options around! Highly recommended and he's super friendly to first time visitors. And my favorite part. This is his gym, he's always here and you can't get that level of attention to the arts with out the owner being there putting it in like Jeff does. ?

Last year, after moving to a SCV, I took my son to a few local gyms so he could continue his martial arts practice. We visited two gyms and ended up choosing Dream MMA.

At the first gym, the coach approached us, talked to me about the schedule, pricing, and equipment needed, shook my hand, and we left.

At Dream MMA, coach Jeff greeted us, shook my son's hand, and asked him about his goals, what he enjoys, where he's from, and why he wants to train. He even offered my son the chance to train for free that day or just observe. Only after engaging with my son did he turn to me and say that we could come back for a free trial class if my son felt like this was the right place for him.

It’s been an amazing experience for my son working out at this gym for the past 12 months, and we couldn't ask for a better coach.

There is too many good things to say about dream that's it's hard to make a quick review. Coach Jeff is one of the best coaches I have come across. My son loves going to his classes and really values the lessons and moral values he teaches to the whole class.if anyone is looking for a gym for themselves or for their child,I highly recommend you look into Dream.

I've been meaning to look for a place where my son can go diversify his knowledge of how to fight and self defence. Dream MMA has been a bit of an enigma for us, and to think I was driving my family to a close by dentistry all these years, literally like neighbors.
The Academy came to my attention when some people from some of the circle's we've hanged out from have mentioned them in our discussions. Curiosity took ahold and when I looked up their website, a lightbulb came on with a conclusion that I've seen their instructor (Coach Jeff) somewhere in various places. What baffled me as to why are all these places letting this guy who has his business into their Dojo's? It just doesn't stack up (thinking to myself).
The fact that it was a Mixed Martial art school made it more appealing and so we just had to come check it out. We really just came here for the Boxing & Muay Thai (MMA portion) but Coach Jeff's Grappling and Jiu Jitsu skills are actually, very good!!
What makes this place stick out?
Coach Jeff is a stickler for attention to detail and he has a wide array of teaching skills of push and pull to get you to understand how and why the movement & technique is performed in that manner. When my son joined, he didn't know much defensive moves in his learnt art of Jiu Jitsu, we then tried it at the other places and it worked because he wasn't too easily submitted or held his own from getting submitted especially from other white belts or even some blue belts. That's how you get to find out what's effective by how & who is teaching it.
He is very personalised in his methods of how he can help an individual get the best out of themselves and of their training, he can go as slow, steady or as fast as you need to be but also dynamic in mixing things so things don't go stale. When you have a Teacher asking you to help them become be a better teacher for you and your training needs, you know you have a good one. My youngest son (who trains here) isn't like my eldest who was more of a go getter, this one is the easy going type and yet I feel Coach Jeff has the finesse to extract the best out of him, all on the shoulders of a 30+ years young, he's ahead of the game. He is very approachable, respectable, charismatic & philosophical young man. For all you parents alike out there, you won't ever hear a foul term or language here or tones that condone training partners to rough the other (I understand this can be subjective and an individuals own interpretation but I have seen a few places, each to their own), not for Political correctness sakes but to promote respect, safe environment, discipline and passion to learn, alongside himself & his students.
Coach Jeff isn't selective on who he spars with, if anything, seeing him spar with my son (white belt) reassures me that he is vested in each of his students, you don't have to be his star student/'s to get to roll with him, you don't have to ask him to roll with you only to be let down because your instructor/coach think you're not good enough to spar with him. That was HUGE for me.
I'm not knocking the other places we've been to, they are all good in their own right but Dream MMA for us, is the right place at the right time.
More power to Coach Jeff and an honorary mention to Coach Fernando and Coach Ron who help enrich the Dream experience.

I cannot recommend Jeff and Dream Martial Arts and Fitness highly enough. Jeff's dedication, expertise, and genuine passion for martial arts and fitness shine through in every session. Not only is he an exceptional coach who tailors his instruction to each individual's needs and goals, but he also creates a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and motivated to push their limits. Under Jeff's guidance, I've not only seen remarkable progress in my martial arts skills but also in my overall fitness and confidence. His commitment to helping his students achieve their best selves is truly inspiring. If you're looking for a top-notch martial arts and fitness experience, look no further than Dream Martial Arts and Fitness with Jeff at the helm.
