P5 Academy — Local services in San Diego

You just can’t find an instructor like him around that offers the vast knowledge and expertise he has (trust me I looked) I highly recommend this dojo for all of your...

P5 is an amazing place to learn and grow in self defense skills. Professor Phillip and his staff teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Jeet Kun Do, and Jendo Arnis (Philippino Martial Arts). They have youth classes four nights a week that start at 5pm (the most convenient we found for working parents when considering time and location), and adult programs that follow. Professor Phillip and Sensei Mark make the classes fun and engaging for the youth, the class sizes are small (until you read this and sign up!), and are welcoming to boys and girls of any skill level. We are so happy to be a part of...
