Love this place. My daughter has been here for 3 years now. She is learning self defense skills and has gained so much confidence. Mr. Baker is amazing! Less

Great karate school!! My daughters were so shy to start but Mr baker and his staff are so patient and really make kids feel comfortable! My daughters love the program and are really learning safety skills! Less

Love how family friendly this place is. Safe for our kids and they have really come out of their shells -built a lot self confidence and they look forward to classes Less

I can’t say enough good things about this karate studio! The owner (Mr. Baker) and instructors are amazing. They are great with the kids and really know how to keep them engaged. In addition to the (mixed) martial arts (karate, muay-thai, kickboxing, and jiu-jitsu; he teaches life skills and self-improvement such as respect, discipline, and perseverance, which has already positively impacted my kids' lives. My kids are enrolled here, and I’ve seen them grow so much with their martial arts skills and their confidence/attitude. My kids set goals and understand you must work hard to achieve them. This mindset shows in karate, school, at home. Scholar's Academy is the perfect place for your kids to learn, grow, and have fun! I highly recommend it! (If you are still on the fence, consider a trial class - you've got nothing to lose!) Less

Absolutely amazing! There's something for everyone here. I also liked the fact that it was really clean. Something you would have to see to truly understand 🙂 Less

I’ve been going here for many years and I absolutely love it!!!!! The training is amazing including the people. I always look forward to being there and be the best! Less

Scholars Academy is a great place to take your kids too. As a someone who goes here daily, I’ve grew a lot of confidence as well as friends. It has a welcoming family atmosphere. Mr. Baker is an amazing instructor and pushes you to be your very best as well as making classes fun and exciting to go to. I would definitely recommend to come here and try it out! Less

Mr. Baker is an amazing teacher. He's direct, passionate, stern but very caring and wants each child to learn self defense, self confidence and perseverance. Less

My daughter and several of her friends have been going to Scholars Academy for almost a year now, and they all love it.. They've gained a lot of strength, endurance, determination, and confidence. They are also learning respect and responsibility each class. It's a fun and energetic environment. My daughter and I enjoy the family kickboxing classes. They organize entertaining activities outside of class and have several types and levels of competition tournaments. The kids here move with skill and force. Mr Baker and staff are great,, aways playing the best workout music.. This is the best material arts program around. Less

I love Scholars Academy, my daughter has been attending the school from March and she is in love with the classes And I I’m in love as well. I love the parent and me class, I really enjoy that I can have fun with my daughter and at the same time that I am working out. We love all the monthly activities the school do too. The other thing tat I love ❤️ form this school it’s that my family feel that we are in a community. Less

Scholars Academy has been a godsend for our two boys throughout this last year. We joined when they re-opened early 2021 and are so glad we did! This has been a safe, positive and healthy outlet for the kids to come to and I really feel it has helped them deal with all the emotions they've been experiencing lately. They are able to productively release any stress through the more physical aspects of the sport, as well as learn valuable skills like meditation and form which teach them to control themselves at the same time. It's a great balance and exactly what they have needed during these times. We are looking forward to the Student Community Center opening in the near future and can't wait to see what other greatness that brings! Less

Excellent service! The instructors are amazing. It is family owned and Is family oriented. They offer free classes/workout for parent and child every Tues and Thursday which is always fun. The place is clean, spacious, and well lit. There’s always other activities outside the class. My child is showing more maturity since he started attending the class. I have all praises for the owners. Less

My son has been going to Scholar Academy for a few years now. He absolutely loves it and has learned so much. The owner is a great teacher who really cares about his community and the kids he is teaching. Great place! Highly recommend! Less

We are still new but they welcomed my 4 kiddos and made them feel comfortable and my kids LOVE IT! Their confidence is building every day and knowing self defense is big breath of relief as a parent and for anyone really. So glad we found this place they are AWSOME👊🏼👍🏽😃 Less

I have been to a couple of dojos in the bay area and this is by far the best one. I enrolled my 2 boys (a tween and a teen) and they ABSOLUTELY love it. Mr. Baker provides them with the fundamentals for their physical, mental and personal growth. The kids are taught to make their parents proud and be good kids all-around. The training is good enough to get them in great shape while focusing on agility and the form. Mrs. Baker is as wonderful as her husband so are their kids, all attending, the classes. The customer service and professionalism are top of the notch. The facility is well-detailed and very clean. They sanitize the place daily and regularly, and are highly compliant re: COVID-19 safety measures. How am I just discovering this place is my question? All the kids and teenagers should attend Scholar Academy of Brentwood. Get these kids and teens off the streets and get them a training to set them up for life success. Less

Scholars Academy is a great place to get kids out of the house and get involved in something other than a TV screen. The kids have tons of fun in class while also learning discipline. Everyone there are super nice and welcoming. It’s so much more than learning how to kick and punch. The kids learn how to defend themselves while also learning how to become better people. They even tell the kids every day that they have one job and that is to make their parents proud. I would recommend anyone that wants their kids to grow as people while also learning some martial arts to check out scholars academy. Less

I absolutely love adult kickboxing at Scholars Academy. The coaches are encouraging and push you to be the best versions of yourself. Place is super clean and staffs are very friendly. By far the best martial arts place in Brentwood, definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get in shape and learn self defense. Less

My son loves Scholars Academy. Every time he finishes class, he is pumped up about his goals and moving forward. That is why we stay with them. It’s more than karate. It’s character building and motivational - just what he needs at this point in his life. Thank you Mr Baker for all your dedication to my kid! Less

Clean, friendly, and family-oriented! My family has worked with Scholar’s Academy since its beginning years ago, and the relationships we’ve made with Mr. Baker and the staff truly make them feel like extended family! They are trustworthy and genuine, and are a constant in our lives. Less

Scholars Academy is great place for our kids to learn martial, build chatacter and leadership skills. Staffs are very polite and professional. They really encourages kids to be better citizen through positive enforcement. Less

Go here because you’ll learn realistic techniques you can use to defend yourself or someone else. You’ll get the most bang for your buck compared to any other place in the East Bay Area. Great for all ages whether you’re a child, teen, or adult. Less

I love Scholars Academy because it is somewhere where I can laugh, make friends, work out, and express myself through martial arts! I love how nice the employees were and it felt like a clean safe place to be! Less

Great place for kids and adult in Brentwood. Mr Baker and his staffs are super nice and professional. Place is clean and very welcoming. My kids absolutely love this place. Less

As parents we try our best to "teach" our kids perseverance, courage, dedication, accountability, confidence, etc. But if you want a place where your kids can LEARN all these things, Scholars Academy is the place! Sensei Baker creates an environment where our kids give everything they've got both inside and outside the dojo. I really appreciate that he takes time to review how his students are behaving at home, and performing at school and extracurriculars. Sensei Baker does not sugarcoat his approach as he pushes his students to be their absolute best. He wants them to give everything they've got and knows how to lift their spirits. One of our children is autistic and Scholars Academy has gone above and beyond to bring out the best in him. My children have never been more happier. The strong character that this place builds in their students translates into everything they do! I really like how the advanced students do their best to help the novice and freshmen students. The support system here is incredible and you will find no place better. This place was the best thing that happened to us and we are grateful we found it. Less

This is more than karate or martial arts dojo. They work with our kids to learn martial arts but also address their character and encourage them to overcome any self doubt. The money spent to go here is an investment into your children's personal growth. Less

This is a very good gym in all scales. What you learn is very effective. The staff is very nice. And it's always being cleaned. I would highly recommend going here to learn how to kick butt! Less

My boys love the Scholars Academy. They are able to stay focused and have fun though the entire class. Although we are fairly new they are already striving to do better and better in each class. It's a great welcoming environment where not only do you see kids excited to attend their classes but you also see more kids doing their homework and reading then on electronic devices!!!! It's soo refreshing! Less

My son LOVES Tiger Rock! He has done soccer and t-ball in the past, but he could never focus and there wasn't any structure. We did a free trial at Tiger Rock and Mr. Baker and his employees were amazing! My son loves going there and is always pushing to be the *kid of the day.* Mr. Baker is firm with the kids which is exactly what my son needed. His confidence has grown so much! Less

I have 2 Children who train with Mr.Baker. You wont find a better Instructor and Tournament Coach that cares for each and every one of his Students like his own. He doesn't want your Children to be just strong in body but strong in mind. Not caring just for their skills as a Martial Artist, but to grow with Respect & Character. Less

Tiger-Rock is amazing! Mr. Baker puts so much quality time and effort into each and every child. He is an amazing role model, instructor and educator! Our son has grown so much in so many ways here and is gaining so much confidence! It's hands down the best place for your child to be. Less

Mr. Baker is hands down the best tutor anyone could ask for! Sadly, our daughter doesn’t get to see him anymore because we moved out of state but we all still value the lessons he shared. Less

I feel like Bruce Lee because every time Mr. Baker teaches new techniques he teaches it so well that even as a beginner you'd look and feel like a pro. Less

Tiger Rock is a unique academy, filled with experienced and dedicated instructors. A great place to take your kids to learn discipline, focus, self-control, team leadership, or just to get in shape. They have a flowing structure, have 6 classes a week to attend at your convenience, and offer free homework assistance to all their members! Less
