  I absolutely love training at this location it’s such a fun, friendly and safe place. Coach Dom is so knowledgeable and patient along with other coaches I’ve worked with I appreciate every single one of them. Not to mention Coach Jen and Coach Ashley are two dedicated and passionate women. I remember feeling so nervous my first day but Jen made me feel so comfortable. They are true experts in teaching jujitsu and I’m so glad I found this gym.

  The community that Jenny and Dom have created at ECA is unlike anything else I've experienced. They are experts in jiu jitsu and they are phenomenal teachers and incredibly kind humans as well. ECA is a family-centered gym in the best way possible. Jenny has especially put a lot of focus on creating a welcoming and safe environment for women of all ages to train (jiu jitsu, self defense, yoga, strength training, LIFE) and have a community of support as well. Dom has so much experience and knowledge within the jiu jitsu/martial arts area, and his classes are tough, but so much fun! All of the other coaches and instructors are kind & knowledgable as well. I love training at ECA when I have the chance to drive to north county. From the outside it may appear small, but once you step inside, you instantly feel at home. Believe me, you will not regret checking it out!!

  This place is amazing! I took my first class and I’m hooked! I love that you can tailor it at your own skill set. The staff are amazing here and so kind! Jenny and Dom are great teachers. They care about your form and gently correct you. Love the broad range of classes and even cater to kids! Highly recommend taking a class!

  I have spent the last month attending the women's challenge, the trial for the new women's course. Jenny is an incredible instructor who makes everyone feel welcome, accepts you for where you are at, and also pushes you to accomplish more than you thought you could. I leave class feeling strong, refreshed, and proud of what I accomplished. We have explored self-defense, jiu jitsu, boxing, and kick boxing in addition to strength and conditioning. I look forward to class every time and the community of other women and moms who want to rejoice in their bodies and feel powerful again. I highly recommend it! My son has been attending the boxing and ABC class for a few months and absolutely loves it. He leaves feeling confident and so happy.

  Great boxing and martial arts classes for kids and adults. Friendly community. It's new and growing. Less structured than some other kids classes. My son enjoys boxing and the ABC class.

  My 3 & 4 year old girls have been going here for months and love being there. In fact, they ask almost every morning if we're going to the gym after school! Coach Dom (one of the owners) is patient and fun but still stern about his expectation for behavior and respect which we absolutely love! I have also attended the women's defense seminar and am now part of the women's challenge. They offer strength and conditioning classes throughout the week. Jenny (the other owner) is the most badass woman with a heart of gold. She has created such a supportive and family-like environment. I haven't worked out in years but I love being there. All of the other coaches we've observed or trained with are so knowledgeable and run amazing classes. I would highly recommend this gym for all ages, whether you want an activity for your kid, to lose weight, to learn how to fight or defend yourself, or to just get stronger mentally and physically.

  ECA is a small family with big dreams! Stemming from the 10th Planet network, ECA is the perfect gym for both individuals and families with a desire to learn. It is a humbly owned family business who treats their members like one of their own. Despite living nearly an hour away, I make the effort to participate in classes and programs from time to time because the quality of the classes and the people are always worth it. It is completely supportive of women, children, military AND first responders. They have my support always.

  I’ve been a member with ECA since they opened and Hands down one of the best multidisciplinary gyms you can find for you & kids. The owners make the environment so fun and welcoming and all of the instructors are phenomenal with their lessons and how they explain the techniques. Im happy to be starting here and bringing my kids to learn from the best in SoCal!

  I’ve been a member since ECA opened and I have nothing but good things to say. Dom and Jenny are super welcoming and have done so much to make me feel comfortable stepping into a male dominated sport. What started out as a hobby has now become my entire personality. 11/10 would recommend!! I can’t wait to keep learning from the ECA team 🫶🏻🔺

  Number one: I love having a clean dojo! It smells so good and inviting. Plus, since my kids are there, and we train together, I feel very comfortable that they are learning different martial arts, including ground work. #LearnByPlay Coach Dom, Coach Jen, Miss Jess, and so much of the staff truly get to know their clients without being invasive. They genuinely care about people, their well-being; and how they can help. This community environment is still growing and quite quickly at that. Be a part of its incipient stages. It’s not your average gym. So if you’re tired of the same ol’, you’ve found your new go to to invest in yourself—and your family. Looking forward to meeting the new gym family when you sign up
