USKO Training

My little brother comes here and I’ve taken him to a few classes. They treat him great and seems like a wonderful experience if you decide to try it out. Id recommend checking this place out.

Great place for fitness/​training. Friendly staff. Great prices. Wish I would have known about this place sooner. Highly recommend!

The classes offered here are excellent. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating, and they take a vested interest to help you improve. I have nothing but great things to say about this place.
I have been going to the boot camp and yoga classes every week, and can definitely see results. I highly recommend this facility.

I’ve been training in martial arts for 18+ years now and had to do tons of research before finding my new school. And, for the facilities and price USKO cannot be beat. They teach Muay Thai, Karate, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Like regular jiu-​jitsu but with a sexier accent), and assorted cardio classes including yoga.
They have a great set up, two locations, huge gym and even showers. Any equipment you need for practice whether it’s an open matt or heavy bag with everything in between. Make sure you purchase your own equipment when you start. This school was nice enough to offer loaner gear for me when I was starting out but, like all loaner gear it is not something you want to wear for too long (kinda smelly) ^_​^.
All of the head instructors are pro fighters or training to go pro. and the main instructor has fought with the K-​1 promotion. In the traditional classes you have instructors with years of experience and the school even hosts the occasional fight seminar with an established pro fighter.
I liked that the environment was safe for the kids but still made sure they practiced practical self defense.
For sure worth a look.

I love this place been going here for over a year. Go to Jason’s classes he’s the best! He makes class so much fun plus works you out like crazy! #teamjason

When I knew it was time to get my son involved with martial arts, I decided to check out USKO because a lot of people from Sandals referred me. I went in and was offered a free class for my son. Only to find out that other people were offered a free week. After my son took the first class, he loved it so much that we decided to enroll. That evening when we signed up the woman that we had spoken with originally was not there and someone else did our paperwork for us. When we signed up we were told that my son will receive a uniform; which consisted of: gloves, a t-​shirt and shorts (Makes sense, right?). The next day the manager or office manager or whatever she is called to tell me that I «was under the impression that I would be receiving shorts but my impression was incorrect». She refused to take ownership of the fact that someone on her staff had miss informed for me while writing up my contract. She advised me that the Muay Thai shorts would be an additional $ 40. Coming from a background of operational management myself, it was very hard not to coach her on her approach and aggressive behavior over the phone. I find it unacceptable to push blame onto the customer. She should had apologised and offered a discount or sucked it up ate the expense of her employees’ mistake. Unacceptable business practice in my book.
The Mauy Thai trainers are awesome. My son has been going for more than a month now and I can see his confidence building and emotional discipline greatly improving. Unfortunately he started using his moves at school and got suspended a few times, but upon my request the trainers diligently reiterate the fact that it is for defensive purposes only. Nothing against the trainers but a personal training session is $ 50 for 30 minutes. Which comes out to $ 100 an hour for somebody to show my son how to shuffle his feet and punch bag– seems exhorbitant. The trainers are skilled professionals and I respect their time. Perhaps the younger kids could be offered a discount with maybe a junior traininer? If there is a such thing. Just an idea.
The facilities are nice, but not clean. I always notice a thick layer of dust and dirt near the chairs that are provided for the parents to sit on. The bathrooms for the most part are maintained. To my surprise they are shared with the day care that is provided for parents working out. On a few occasions I have walked in on 2 – 3 year olds using the restroom unsupervised. Clearly one wouldn’t assume they would lock the door, but a grown up needs to be supervising them. Young children with their pants down alone in a bathroom is bait for pedophiles. Granted most of us there are parents ourselves, hopefully nothing bad happens.
It does get stuffy while everybody is on the dojo and I’m apprehensive to find out what Summer is like inside.
I took advantage personally of using a free week for fitness kickboxing. The class I attended was phenomenal. The instructor worked our butts off and I had a blast. Unfortunately I WAS NOT taught how to kick properly beforehand and ended up fracturing my foot during the class. The gloves that I was given were loaner gloves. They were wet from other people’s sweat and they smelled so bad that halfway through the class I had to rip them off and run to the bathroom and scrub my hands with hot water and soap. I’m astonished my hands didn’t rot off.
Would I refer this facility to my friends and family? Yes, I already have. The trainers are amazing! However, I belive that under proper management things would be vastly improved.

This is a really nice facility. The staff was always really friendly. I enrolled my 4 yr old in the Pee Wee Champs program through the parks & rec dept. They are great with kids. I watched them discipline several kids by giving them pushups. It’s fun to see the kids grow and gain self esteem. The teacher would huddle the parents after class and go over moves the kids should practice before sending us on our way, which I thought was great.
If I have one critique, it’s that the dojo smells really bad. They really need some circulation in there. The air is thick and can be overwhelming. (I brought essential oil in my purse to inhale for relief.)
Four Stars!
Quality teachers, I was quite impressed.

Probably one of the best decision I’ve made with my son, highly recommend USKO, they taught him discipline, flexibility, agility and defense. Professional from the staff to the instructors! Won’t be disappointed!

Intense kick boxing class! The instructor moves fast, but this is good because you get your money’s worth for the class. Randy (teacher) is fun & upbeat and helps the class stay focused for the 45 min we have. Highly recommend! I just went and picked the classes through the Riverside city classes. Well worth the $ 40!

We’ve been training here for about four years, great Sensei’s and a great dojo I highly recommend this osss!

My son started here several months ago. He’s 4 years old. The owners are always here and very hands on. The instructors really try and have a lot of patience but expect everyone to follow the rules and move onto the next level.
For the younger students, the sessions are 30 minutes. Good to keep them from getting to distracted.
No complaints. We’ll be coming here for years to come.

This is an exceptional muti-​discipline karate and fitness studio. There is literally something here for the entire family, from karate, to fitness training, to Muay Thai, etc. The instruction is first rate, my son has been going here for six years now and he still loves it! ;)

USKO is a great facility for children and adults! The variety of trainings for all ages allows for a well-​rounded workout.
Children have a choice of Muay Thai, Karate, and Brazilian Jui Jitsu. The teachers all work well with their ages and skill development. During the past three years, our son has developed a strong passion for karate and is well-​disciplined which positively effects his character in school as well as social skills with his peers.
We love USKO and feel as though we are USKO family members. Come and join the family!

I went here with a friend on a week free trial. We thought the building smelt horrible, like overwhelming and worse than any «gym» smell I’ve encountered. Both classes we took had great instructors but the gloves and etc were really gross to use, so I would highly recommend bringing your own gloves if possible for the kickboxing class.
Also we were annoyed we couldn’t just pay a per class price. They want you to sign a 6 month contract. If you have other workout activities, this is not a good solution for you.

I wanted to enroll myself and my two boys but the price was extremely expensive and I mean way to much. I say this because I’ve been in other gyms and these is amongst the highest I’ve looked at. Yes it is a nice facility but then way out of my price range.

I have been training Muay Thai here for just over 1 year. I have tried lots of other gyms (dojos) in the Inland Empire and this one is by far the best. The instructors are very talented, encouraging, and helpful. There are several different classes each day so it really works for anyone’s schedule. The gym is large and they have a full sized regulation ring for sparring and training plus a full weight room and lots of cardio machines. The locker rooms are large and kept very clean. A lot of the students are actively fighting on the local circuits so it makes it even more fun to go out to the fights and cheer them on. Just remember to wear your U.S.K.O. t-​shirt! You can also sign up with the personal trainer if you are not into martial arts.
It is definitely a family atmosphere, but there are separate classes for adults and kids and they are in different rooms. You can sign yourself and your kids up for Karate, Muay Thai, and/​or Ju-Jitsu.They even have movie nights and do other events throughout the year such as demonstrations and BBQs.
If you want to get into great shape, have a blast, learn a skill that will build your confidence, and meet lots of great people, I highly recommend you stop in and check this place out.

Since this didn’t have any reviews yet, I thought I would highlight my experiences at this Dojo.
I did karate at USKO for about 7 years. Initially, as a youngster, I had a blast! This was a no-​nonsense type place and the Sensei’s knew what they were teaching you and we all wanted to pay attention. (it did help most of them were nice to look at) It’s definitely a great workout and you feel you’re learning potential strategies in case you are put in a sticky situation.
It really was a «family» experience; all of the parents and other students knew each other and spent many many hours training together. It was great to be able to see your friends so often as well!
It is a bit pricey, but the classes are fairly small and you definitely get one-​on-​one attention. However, this sport is not for sissies. The Sensei’s don’t put up with crap, and if you start messing around, well, get on the ground, start some push-​ups and hopefully they will eventually let you stop!
I enjoyed my time there, albeit some male-​chauvinist pigs who thought girls couldn’t «fight and take it» like boys. Psh. Watch me punch your lights out dude!
