Defense Arts Center

Defense Arts Center is a great school, they have a wide variety of lessons to choose/learn from. The instructors are really supportive and helpful, they each know very well the techniques they are teaching and how to work out a person's pace. Also they are well knowledge in the fields they are teaching. The dojo is kept nice and tidy and at the same time cleaned. Overall, if you are looking for a place to learn defense arts come to this place the staff is amazing, the classes are great and the place is beautiful to train at.

Excellent dojo with classes in several arts, including several large karate classes, aikido, and iaido.

This is truly a wonderful dojo to come and train traditional karate. The instructors have all been great and I have learned some amazing techniques. This is a very family friendly dojo, and the pricing is very reasonable given the quality of instruction. If you want to learn genuine martial arts, you found the right place! Highly recommend!

One of the best thing I've done in the recent years is signing up for Karate at Defense Arts Center in Upland. The journey has been wonderful. I get to be trained under some of the best and most dedicated teachers in this area. Sensei Ty Aponte and Sensei David Blair are particularly top notch and highly respected in the Karate community, along with many other excellent instructors. There are also other arts at this school including Jujutsu, Kendo, Iaido (Japanese swords), and Taichi, all taught by individual Master in each art. As far as martial art training, it does not get better than this.

A place where anybody can train there and practice so many different fighting styles. Also it is a place where and when anybody could be train there physically and mentally, while learning the way of shotokan karate. As a 3rd Kyi brown belt, I recommend it for anyone to join this dojo.
