Kevin is an outstanding instructor. His knowledge and mastery of many different styles of martial arts enables him to individualize instruction for each student according to the student’s goals and level of ability. His many years of experience enable him to break down each skill and make it achievable without being intimidating. He is exceedingly patient, encouraging, and his sense of humor is a real bonus. I highly recommend Kevin Beale as an instructor.

I trained with Kevin for years and recommend him without reservation. He is extremely knowledgeable and is an articulate, personable instructor. His deep skill and unpretentious manner builds trust quickly and makes every session impactful. I only wish I still lived close enough to him to regularly train. Accelerate your development and gain the confidence that comes with building pressure-tested skills. Train with Kevin!

Kevin is an excellent instructor! I’m in my 40’s, and I had always wanted to take martial arts, but never had the right opportunity. I was able to take one on one lessons with Kevin, and I’m so glad I did. He’s so knowledgeable and such a good instructor. I feel much more confident in my ability to be physically safe when I travel, and that gives me peace of mind.

I am working on a biography on Yoshihiro Uchida, San Jose State University's 101-year-old judo coach, and Kevin has been great in helping me with my research on the history of judo and martial arts in the United States since World War II. He also is helpful in explaining the various throws and techniques that I don't always understand. Thanks, Kevin!
