This martial arts studio is truly one of the best. The space is impeccably clean, and the equipment is well-maintained. From the skilled instructors to the effective techniques they teach, you’ll get an incredible workout while mastering self-defense skills. Being a smaller studio, they provide personalized attention to each student, ensuring you succeed. I came in with minimal experience and quickly gained confidence in my abilities. Everyone here is incredibly kind and supportive, plus the music they play in class is always on point. This place is amazing—give it a try, and I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it just like I did!
The best place to get a full body workout especially the cardio classes. Everyone is so nice. Gym is small and clean. Ricki is the best instructor and pushes you to the max. I've been to many gyms and he's the best in terms of maximum workout that really packs a punch.
Amazing staff & facility. An excellent place to get fit and learn some self-defense. Highly recommend!
Best All around self defense gym. Top instructors, extremely clean, awesome mix of technique and cardio workouts - something for every level!
When looking for a gym, 360 Self Defense Academy is a hidden gem. Combining the best aspects of professionalism, cleanliness, and camaraderie, it stands far beyond similar training centers in Los Angeles. While small in size, there is a wide variety of classes offered. Ranging from introductory classes in stand-up fighting to advanced Krav Maga, 360 also provide classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and weapons training. For potential visitors looking for more standard-fare, cardio/bag classes and mobility are in abundance. Instruction is done through a variety of different coaches - each specialized in the skills and discipline in the class taught. Such a wealth of knowledge and professional insight is fully available to members and visitors alike. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, is the element of camaraderie that exists. Unlike so many larger, impersonal training centers/gyms, 360 offers real friendships and the opportunity to become part of a familiar group of friends and acquaintances. Long story short, here you're not a membership number but rather, a hangout with which to train with friends.
Have done two cardio boxing classes since gyms reopend. Ricky is an awesome instructor who is well versed in krav maga, brazilian jiu jitsu, kick boxing. He is super friendly while still pushing you. A lot of space between heavy bags, bags and floor cleaned between sessions. Great socially distanced work out
360 Self Defense Academy is my favorite of the three self defense/krav maga gyms I've been to. Ricky is friendly and professional and and gives helpful, individualized feedback. The other instructors I've had are great too. The classes are small, so you get lots of individualized attention. There's a lot of focus on form, and you get an intense workout. Prices are reasonable compared to other krav gyms in the area. Basically everything I was looking for in a gym!
Ricky and all the instructors are very knowledgable, and it's impressive how they take the time to make sure everyone is learning the proper technique with attention to detail. The facility and gear are also really clean and well taken care of.
I am so happy to have found 360 Self Defense! My 12 year old son loves it and is getting a great workout while learning self defense. Ricky is very experienced and knowledgeable and is super great with kids. I intend to take some adult classes myself too! A great find and right in my backyard! Yay!!!
360 Self Defense Academy is a great gym to train at. They have amazing instructors who have a lot of experience and who are really friendly and patient with everyone. They give you immediate feedback and try to help you become better every day. You not only get to work on technique but also get a great workout. Also, place is really clean! Unlike some other gyms I’ve been to who don’t clean their mats. Highly recommend to anyone to come train at 360!!

They'll make you feel welcome and give your a great workout! I always leave there feeling like a champ!
360 is the best Krav gym I have been to. The instructors are all very kind and helpful. The gym is kept very clean and is well managed. They also offer plenty of classes from Krav, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, yoga, and more. The gym is also very reasonably priced compared to other gyms of the same caliber. The gym is not large and gives a more personalized experience to each member. I can not recommend this gym enough to anyone looking to join a Krav gym.
360SD is the best place I’ve trained at! All the instructors are very knowledgeable in self defense and challenge me every single time I train. I not only get self defense training, but I also get a good workout. The mats are always super clean, which makes it more comfortable to train especially when I do Jiu Jitsu. I highly recommend anyone who wants to get a good workout or learn self defense to come train at 360 Self Defense Academy!
Love the krav maga and boxing classes. Ricky is a great instructor
I took a one-hour introduction to Krav Maga class with the lead instructor, Ricky. I have zero martial arts or self-defense experience. I like that the class was small. Ricky provided great instruction. In addition to teaching proper technique, he explained why techniques are done the way they are. For example, keeping your arms and hands closer to your body helps to prevent an attacker from being able to anticipate what you're about to do. Ricky pushed me to challenge myself but not so much that I felt discouraged. The facility is clean. All of the equipment is new and in excellent condition. The pricing is very fair. You do not have to commit to a long-term contract and all of the prices are disclosed up front. There are no enrollment fees or other surprises. I will surely be trying out some of the other classes, like boxing or BJJ.
