After 10 years, I can confidently say DMA has helped my children in all aspects of life. They have helped to develop my children into confident, respectful, caring people. DMA's instructors go the extra mile in instructing, coaching and caring for their students...they are truly one of a kind.

- Michelle S., Pinole, CA.

My 15 year old daughter has been enrolled in martial arts with the Dumlao family since she was 6. After over 9 years, her martial arts training is still one of her main priorities in her life. My 14 year old daughter had participated in basketball, soccer, tennis, and taken painting classes, but after 6 years of trying to get her to join karate; she gave karate a try and has stuck with the program after over 3 years. The instructors at Dumlao's Martial Arts teach their students discipline, to be respectful to one another, and to have the confidence in class as well as outside the karate school, that will help them succeed in all aspects of their life.

As a child, my daughter was always shy. I was taken by surprise when her best friend, Alyssa, was able to convince her to join Dumlao's Martial Arts . In her 2 years of being a part of the Dumlao team, I have witnessed her socialness and confidence grow. Dumlao's Martial Arts has taught her how to defend herself and has helped her discover and challenge her athletic capabilities.

Besides the physical aspects, they have taught her important life lessons, such as perseverance, discipline, and respect. I, honestly, can say when you are apart of the Dumlao team, you really feel connected with everyone else. The dojo is her second home, and the Dumlao team is her second family.

There are many teachers, martial artists, public servants, and other selfless givers to life in this world who have not received the honors, accolades, awards and recognition they greatly deserve. I wish to acknowledge Dumlao Martial Arts to all of you here and now, and share these accolades with you. My two children, Nicholas and Nicole has attended this dojo for several years and has learned the best learning skills of ‘facts' and information I have ever seen in a martial arts class. There was so much to learn and it has been a great experience for my twins. Bless Mr. Roland Dumlao and his family for this school. This experience meant so much to them in their life especially in self defense as well as self esteem and they have a lot more to look forward to. They are now very interested in learning how to spar and they are having a great time during these sessions with Mr. Sean Dumlao. For a couple of kids who does not like to attend any contact sport, this is an amazing feat for them to insist to attend the sparring classes.

This martial arts school is great in teaching kids in how to defend themselves as well as teach them to be disciplined in their thoughts and actions. Thank you very much for every effort that the entire respected instructors in Dumlao Martial Arts who have imparted their skills and a part of their spirit to teach my kids be a better person.

Review on Yelp.com -

Dumlao's Martial Arts has been like a second family to me and my niece's for over 8 years. The head instructor, Mr. Roland Dumlao (although I'm older than he is :), is challenging and encouraging. He and his staff of other fine black belt instructors brings out the best in me. Kids, Teens and Adults will see results with their self-esteem and stamina. It may not be "easy" but the rewards are endless. The karate family are disciplined, welcoming, and supportive. Besides karate, DMA also offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Full-Contact Conditioning, and Cardio-karate taught by Sean Dumlao (I now know why there are tons of women flocking to his guaranteed-sweat fest). DMA is not a place to just get your black belt, it's a second home where my journey never ends.
