I've practiced martial arts at a couple other locations, and by far the staff and environment at John Wai has surpassed them all! The members are incredibly kind, friendly and eager to learn and help each other learn. The staff is extremely attentive, fun, and masters of their craft. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking to learn martial arts whether for self defense, to fight professionally or just as a hobby!

I absolutely love it! Everyone from the instructors to the members will make you feel like family. The instructors are motivating, inspiring, and will make your goals their goals. I'm always excited to attend the intense, yet fun, kickboxing sessions and my Kung Fu trainings. Glad I found them!

Myself and kids have been members of JWMA for 5 years now. This place has become our home away from home. My wife and myself always say that bringing our kids here has been one of the best decisions we have made for our children. This isn’t just some typical strip mall MMA gym this place literally is family.

I’ve been coming to this school for about 2 years now and I never stop learning or pushing myself here. Owner is very conscious and makes it a priority for all members to feel comfortable while training. ESPECIALLY FOR LADIES. Fun and friendly staff!
