  Kevin is an outstanding instructor. His knowledge and mastery of many different styles of martial arts enables him to individualize instruction for each student according to the student’s goals and level of ability. His many years of experience enable him to break down each skill and make it achievable without being intimidating. He is exceedingly patient, encouraging, and his sense of humor is a real bonus. I highly recommend Kevin Beale as an instructor.

  Kevin is an excellent instructor! I’m in my 40’s, and I had always wanted to take martial arts, but never had the right opportunity. I was able to take one on one lessons with Kevin, and I’m so glad I did. He’s so knowledgeable and such a good instructor. I feel much more confident in my ability to be physically safe when I travel, and that gives me peace of mind.

  I am working on a biography on Yoshihiro Uchida, San Jose State University's 101-year-old judo coach, and Kevin has been great in helping me with my research on the history of judo and martial arts in the United States since World War II. He also is helpful in explaining the various throws and techniques that I don't always understand. Thanks, Kevin! (Coach Uchida and Lyle Hunt, SJS's first judoka to qualify for international competition, are pictured below in 1953.)

  I trained with Kevin for years and recommend him without reservation. He is extremely knowledgeable and is an articulate, personable instructor. His deep skill and unpretentious manner builds trust quickly and makes every session impactful. I only wish I still lived close enough to him to regularly train. Accelerate your development and gain the confidence that comes with building pressure-tested skills. Train with Kevin!

  I’ve known my Instructor, Mr. Kevin Beale for many years and he’s definitely one of a kind! He’s got a wealth of experience and knowledge in the martial arts. Through one-on-one sessions, he coached me in Jeet Kune Do and Boxing. I eventually used the skills he taught me to compete and win an amateur kickboxing fight. However, even if you don’t want to compete and just want to get in shape or learn self-defense, he tailors the training to you. That’s the benefit of 1-on-1 sessions. I love the fact that he’ll come to me and we can train anywhere! It’s so convenient and learning happens much faster than in a class with 30 other people! Definitely recommend him for anyone interested in learning self-defense, training martial arts, getting in shape, or competing.
