KIDS GROW WITH EACH CLASS!
Imagine your child taking their first martial arts class—excited, maybe a little nervous. Then, with each class, something incredible happens. Their confidence grows, their focus sharpens, and they stand a little taller—not just in class but at home and school. At One Martial Arts, we help kids build confidence, discipline, and respect while having a blast in our fun and engaging martial arts classes for kids.
ACTIVE, HEALTHY AND HAVING A BLAST
Between screens, busy schedules, and processed foods, it’s harder than ever for kids to stay active. That’s why our martial arts classes are designed to keep them moving—disguised as nonstop fun!
Packed with exciting games, drills, and challenges, our classes help kids build strength, coordination, and endurance while having the time of their lives. Beyond fitness, we’re helping them develop healthy habits, confidence, and discipline that will last a lifetime. Give your child the gift of movement, energy, and fun—come try a class today!
EMPOWERING KIDS TO FACE LIFE’S CHALLENGES
Every parent wants their child to be confident, safe, and prepared for life. At One Martial Arts, we teach essential self-protection skills while building confidence, awareness, and the ability to handle challenges—whether it’s standing up for themselves, making smart choices, or knowing when to walk away.
But true strength goes beyond self-defense. Our classes instill respect, self-discipline, and the ability to de-escalate conflicts peacefully whenever possible. And if needed, your child will have the skills to protect themselves. We’re not just teaching martial arts—we’re shaping strong, capable, and kind individuals.
BEST FUN EVER!!!
We never forget… kids are kids and they deserve to have some fun!
We can’t guarantee that their normal school teachers are making learning an enjoyable experience, but we DO guarantee that your kid will have a blast in our martial arts classes.
It really is a challenge to design a class that keeps children focused on learning, respect, and discipline while still having fun… but our classes are created just for that. They are so full of ideas, activities, and games that your kids will never get bored or stagnate.
It’s also a fantastic and healthy environment for them (and you) to make friends with other like-minded students. It really is a place where laughter, cheer and happiness abound.
PARENTS SHARE THEIR HEARTFELT WORDS
Check out genuine reviews from our martial arts family and see for yourself the difference we’re making in lives every day.
My family has been going to One Martial Arts for nearly 10 years. It has been a terrific experience. As someone who has practiced martial arts from an early age, One Martial Arts is one of the top of the schools that I have attended. The instructors are technically precise and incredibly patient. I would recommend One Martial Arts in a heartbeat.
My now 9 year old has been a student for the last 4 years or so, and my wife and I are continually impressed by this school. They are extremely good at connecting with the kids, both in the context of making the classes fun, and showing them how the skills being taught apply to real life. There’s a clear emphasis on “life skills” like Respect, Manners, Focus, Effort, etc. while the actual martial arts come along for the ride. There’s also incredible attention to detail as well, in terms of being very quick to learn, remember and use kids’ names, excellent communication with parents and students outside of the classroom. We’ll occasionally get a postcard or email from them celebrating a specific child achievement, birthday or other milestone, and it shows they are really focused on delivering an excellent experience.
I can’t say enough good things about OMA. From the instructors competency to the mission of OMA itself, this is a bright spot in so many lives. They truly want every student to succeed and do their best to help not only with the physical aspect, but with the important life lessons along the way that are essential to understand in order to live your best life. All of this, but at the same time they maintain high standards – so important in an age where everyone gets a trophy and so often the hard work and disappointment are overlooked or brushed aside.
Over the years, as I was observing the class and overhearing what the instructors were saying I wanted to jump up and cheer. They ask: What does it mean to be responsible? What does it mean to have discipline? How can you show your family that you appreciate what they do for you?
I have come to see OMA as a partner on my son’s path to achieve everything he is able to achieve.
My 10 YR old Son has been attending Karate at One Martial Arts at their Millbrae location now for 3 years. The Teachers and All the Staff are phenomenal!! My Son loves Karate and he Excels here, and in school and I know One Martial Arts is to be praised for their Strength in promoting Strong Values, Lessons for Life, and Giving Lots of Fun to All who Attend. Thank You One Martial Arts, Karen
My Son started about 3 months ago and Now can see the difference, He’s doing great and getting stronger. He really enjoy every single class. Great Job One martial arts
We love OMA! They have a wonderful program with weekly themed lessons created by Prof. Beliso. Our daughter is learning about self-confidence, focus, and discipline.
One Martial Arts has been an important part of my(now 16 year old) son’s life since he was 4 years old. He was a camper, a karate student, a junior counselor and now a counselor and after school helper. It has shaped his view of himself and his place in the world. It has made him more confident and responsible in all he does. Most importantly, it has helped him immensely with his focus-which is a huge issue for a child with ADHD. I can’t say enough good things about the amazing instructors and the supportive environment. Send your children here…you will be amazed at the impact!
My 6 year old daughter has been attending OMA for the past couple months. She absolutely loves it here. Each class is themed with a life lesson (ie. Teamwork, Respect) that I as a parent I can appreciate. Not only is she learning self defense, she’s having a blast doing so. We’ve had the opportunity to cycle through the various teachers and they are all excellent.
While we haven’t been enrolled in a class just yet, we have attended the community free events for the past few months and my daughter has LOVED it. The staff is kind and encouraging and the facility is clean.
I love how they practice what they teach and really focus on building confidence and kindness along with physical fitness.
We will certainly find a spot in our schedule to enroll my daughter in a weekly class.
One Martial Arts is truly an exceptional place to train, grow, and be a part of a supportive family.
From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive energy and passion that Professor Brannon Beliso, and all the instructors bring to class. They do an amazing job of balancing discipline, learning, and life lessons beyond Karate.
Our daughter has been attending classes since she was 4 years old and is on track to achieving her Black Belt before reaching High School.
One Martial Arts is an excellent place for children and adults to learn not only martial arts skills, but also important life values such as discipline, respect, and perseverance. The instructors are professional, kind, and truly dedicated to helping each student grow in confidence and character. The environment is always positive and supportive, making it a great place for families. Highly recommend!
My son has been training at One Martial Arts since kindergarten, and now at 11 years old, he’s nearly earned his black belt. The instructors have been incredibly dedicated and supportive throughout his six-year journey. Karate has kept him physically fit while building his self-confidence. We especially appreciate how the school creates a true sense of community through their family celebrations and events. I highly recommend One Martial Arts to any parent looking for a martial arts program that nurtures both skill and character.
It was serendipitous for us to find OMA online. One year later, It’s become a must in our 5yr and 7yr old kids’ everyday life. The teaching goes beyond the studio floor as they have learned life skills to be successful at an early age. As my wife and I learn more about other kids sports / classes around the community, OMA has become the most rewarding and influential for our family.
The curriculum is clear, the instructors show patience but hold students accountable. OMA has embraced technology with all instructional videos categorized online and easily available. We also appreciate the flexibility of class schedules and the option of making up missed sessions by doing a personalized virtual class. Finally, OMA’s presence and work in the Millbrae community at large does not go unrecognized.
The appreciation I have for OMA, its affable staff and caring instructors cannot be described. I’m not sure how far in martial arts my kids will go. But one thing I know for sure – with OMA they will indeed have the tools to “ Live Your Best Life”.
From a truly appreciative parent.
My son Moses has been attending One Martial Arts for about a year now, and the experience has been amazing! The instructors are incredibly patient, positive, and truly care about each child’s progress — not only in martial arts, but in confidence, focus, and respect.
We’ve seen such great growth in Moses — he looks forward to every class, and it’s wonderful to see how motivated and proud he feels after each belt achievement. The atmosphere is always welcoming, well-organized, and full of energy.
One Martial Arts is more than jus t a martial arts school — it’s a community that helps kids build strong character and healthy habits. We’re so grateful to be part of it!
My 6 yo daughter had been wanting to start karate for a while now so I went with the top rated place near me. It’s no wonder why they have the rating they do. We both LOVE One Martial Arts.
The entire welcome experience could not be more perfect. You book a free trial class easily online and show up to find your kids name on a big sign with a free t-shirt waiting. They are super supportive in the class and let the first-timers do a board breaking at the end so they get absolutely hooked from the jump. The joy in their faces after that board breaks and they feel so powerful is priceless! Arrive for your first real class their uniform is at the ready on the front desk. Seriously, so organized!
We love the instructors. They break the kids into smaller groups so she’s gotten to work with Shīfu Bender and Shīfu Fidler and Shīfu Lucas Dela Cruz who are all wonderful.
They have an app that makes everything super easy. Including instructional videos kids can use to practice. When you arrive you just check your kiddo in on the ipad (they are located right next to the after class lollipops).
The class itself is the perfect blend of skill-training and fun. They learn respect, discipline and hard work, then they get to play a fun game at the end like freeze tag to get all their energy out. They also earn sticker stripes leading up to the different color belts. My kiddo is highly motivated by this and always looks forward to the “earn” days.
The support staff is super responsive and helpful with inquiries and questions.
There are plenty of benches to sit and watch but it’s in a great neighborhood so always fun to run out and grab a snack or bubbletea.
SEE HOW ONE MARTIAL ARTS STACKS UP
Explore our comparison between martial arts and traditional sports to see why martial arts could be a more beneficial and fulfilling choice for your child’s overall growth and development.
Traditional sports sometimes focus more on physical prowess and less on the holistic development of a child, potentially neglecting important aspects like emotional intelligence and personal character development.
Team selections and competitive play can sometimes lead to exclusion or benching of less skilled players, which can be disheartening and impact their enthusiasm for physical activity.
A strong focus on winning can overshadow the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and simply enjoying the game, which are vital aspects of sports for children.
In team sports, individual attention from coaches can be limited, which may hinder the personal skill development and confidence of less naturally talented children.
Martial arts is a great way for kids to improve their strength, flexibility, and overall physical fitness in an enjoyable and dynamic setting.
As children master new skills and earn belts, their confidence soars. This sense of achievement helps build their self-esteem and belief in their abilities.
Regular practice of martial arts requires discipline and concentration, skills that are transferable to all areas of life, including academic performance.
Children learn to respect their instructors and peers, fostering an environment of mutual respect. They also develop better listening skills, which are crucial for learning and social interactions.
