Esteller Martial Arts

Still one star. This business does NOT have 5 star reviews. The owner gets Yelp to delete my valid review and complains to his friends to bully me to...

PositiveCommunicationProfessionalismHe came into my class and taught us good self defense techniques and was very warm and welcoming. He made it fun along the way and added a good sense of humor.

The training I received here as a teenager saved my life tonight ten years later. Tonight I was mugged by three guys with long knivesmachetes very suddenly...

What a fantastic school Ron Esteller is genuinely the epitome of what a leader a teacher a master and a good man is meant to be. He teaches first rate martial arts and produces first rate students. He is a joy to spend time with is giving and patient and has a track record of excellence in the arts. Highly recommended

My son has been with Esteller Martial Arts in Pleasanton for 3 years and has gained so much from this experience. Not only can he defend himself in any given situation but he has learnt compassion respect and integrity. Sifu Ron and DJ Esteller work the class hard and get great results. The dojo is always welcoming and supportive of its students and families. Sifu Ron goes out of his way to support anyone needing anything extra - whether is it martial arts related or emotional support. I highly recommend Esteller Martial Arts to anyone seeking a professional and supportive environment.

We love Sifu Ron Weve been with him for over 2 years now and our Littles have learned so much. They work hard and learn so much but they also have a lot of fun. Highly highly recommend Sifu Ron.

This review is long overdue. I am writing this review as my LO is taking a class. I have checked in here many times and finally realized that I must write...

I was a student of Rons many years ago and he helped mold me into the man I am today. I even sent my son to study under him but due to logistics and personal problems I could not get my son to classes but if my situation changed Id be sending my son to him without reservation. He is a truly exceptional instructor and he care deeply for his students.

My sons from the oldest to the youngest have been with Esteller Martial Arts for 16 years now. Stepping into Esteller Martial Arts has been one on the best things I could have done for my boys. Under Ron Esteller and his instructors my kids learned not only how to defend themselves but also many attributes of the martial arts that is taught in this school. They learned patience perseverance belief honesty courage self control respect for others and a love of humanity. They have become independent self assured young men and awesome teachers and leaders.When you step in and sign up for lessons you not only are stepping into one of the best Martial Art Schools you also are gaining an Ohana family. The students and their families all become a member of the EMA Ohana. This bond travels beyond the karate school doors into everyday life.The one thing I can saysuggest is go to Esteller Martial Arts try out a class or three experience learning from the amazing instructors you will be hooked and I guarantee you will also feel it is one of the best things you have done for yourself or your children.

Ive learned so much in such a short time1 month and its practical stuff that I can use if I need toself-defense. Being in this class I feel stronger safer and more prepared for any situation that would recquire defending myself. I love this class so much Be prepared to discover strength in you that you didnt know you had The work is the best kind of exhausting satisfying and rewarding.

Ron is the coolest guy and even though its tiring its a really fun class and I love Kajukenbo style.
