Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequently asked questions and answers about our martial arts classes in Oxnard, CA.

Will my child become a bully?

We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies and have more humility and kindness to others through their martial arts lessons.

We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! And so do their kids. Even better… join into some of our martial arts classes for adults. Your kids will love that you have something in common. It will build a strong family bond!

Additionally, if you wanted some ‘me-time’? Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee. They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!

Do I need to be fit for this?

No, not at all! We find that people start at varying fitness levels. But, you will find that you do get fit by doing our Somis martial arts classes. Isn’t that the point though? A fun workout that gets results!

How long until I get my black belt?

Truthfully, the journey to Black Belt is an individual one. Everyone can progress at a different pace. There is no judgement on students for how long it does take. What we can tell you, is that it is SO WORTHWHILE!

The self defense skills you will master can truly be life-saving!
However, the other benefits of striving for Black Belt, like perseverance, never giving up, commitment and self discipline lead to life-long success.

You will find that your instructors at Fight Foundation Somis are dedicated to helping you on your journey to Black Belt or whatever your personal goal may be.

What do I need to bring?

Make sure you wear comfortable clothes you can do sport in! Not really suitable to practice kicks in a skirt.

Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes. You will find Fight Foundation in Somis have martial arts classes for kids and adults that are a great workout and lots of fun! Most students are grinning from ear to ear by the end of the class. I am sure you will be too!

I'm not very coordinated, will that be a problem?

Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes would describe themselves like that before they started. So you will fit right in!

Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at how much you improve! You’ll find that our very experienced martial arts instructors, are trained to keep their teaching simple. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ‘ninja-like’ skills! Come see for yourself!

My 4.5 year old has been doing MMA at Fight Foundation since he turned 3 and it’s been amazing for him! In additional to all of the physical skills he’s learned, it’s taught him how to listen, how to behave in a group setting, how to make friends and socialize with other kids his age, how to follow a schedule/routine, I could go on and on! Sifu Cherry always makes the class fun for the peewees and introduces new games all the time to keep them engaged. My son loves it and we can’t wait to sign our younger son up once he’s old enough!

We love Sifu Cherry And Sifu Paul, their whole team has always been awesome with us. My son has been with the fight foundation for a few years now. I signed him up because I was tired of my son coming home upset from being physically bullied with little consequences from the school. They've really helped my son with his confidence and bullying is no longer an issue. He's never had to use his MMA skills outside the studio but it's reassuring knowing my son has the tools he needs to defend himself if he's ever in a ugly situation or outnumbered. We can't always be there to protect our kids but you can give them the upper hand. MMA teaches more than just self defense its given my son goals to strive for and discipline outside my household. Thanks again Fight Foundation we love being on your team!

Respect, discipline, athleticism, courage, self-defense, and yes- even fun! These are all things my daughter has gained and experienced at Fight Foundation. The staff is tough, but also caring. The lessons are hard, but the skills are so valuable. If you are looking for a marital arts studio that imparts all of the traditional lessons but also teaches practical self-defense that could be used if need be- Fight Foundation is the place for you!

Only positive things to say about the Fight Foundation!! My son is participating and loves training! Sifu Cherry always ensures that students are practicing in a safe/clean environment, learning age appropriate skills and promotes respect towards others. I’ve seen the self confidence grow, not only in my son, but in each student participating. A++++ I highly recommend 10/10

We recently moved to Ventura County. It was important for my children to feel part of the community and this program was the best decision we made. MMA has not only helped with this transition but the Instructors are awesome!! Shout out to Sifu Cherry and her amazing team!!

Sifu Cherry is the best! My son has learned a ton about self defense, respect towards others, and awareness of his surroundings. He enjoys going to class every week

My kids started with Fight Foundation several years ago. They are currently first degree brown belts. When they started they were shy and timid. They now have so much confidence in their ability and I have confidence that they can defend themselves. I am very impressed with how Sifu Cherry runs each class. She controls the class and teaches respect and discipline. Putting my kids in MMA was one of the best decisions we made!
