Regular scheduled classes resume tomorrow, Tuesday May 26. See you in class.

Since 2008, 4120 Dale Rd, Ste J7 has been the home of VanBelle’s Black Belt Academy. In that time thousands have traveled through these doors. We have shared countless memorable experiences in this location for nearly two decades! Those individual and shared experiences have shaped who we are today. If you are looking to be part of an inclusive community of liked minded individuals, set on constant self improvement, this may be the place for you. Stop in and try a class or just say hello and see what we’re all about!

Let us introduce you to our 2026 California State Champions and Southwest District Championship qualifiers. Congratulations!

Thank you to all of the Mothers and Grandmothers out there! From getting up early, to staying up late, and making sacrifices that feel unseen; just know that your love and support shape those around you. You are appreciated in ways that cannot be put into words. You are leading by example and demonstrating to the future parents out there what it means to love unconditionally. May we take today and recognize you for the great job that you are doing! Our community thanks you, from the bottom of our hearts. Happy Mothers Day ❤️

I just have to say how proud I am of my students and parents. Since our belt promotion in the park a couple of weeks ago, something just feels “different”. The energy you’ve been bringing to class and the level of Leadership being demonstrated by so many of you isn’t going unnoticed! From white belts to black belts, you all are on a roll. The energy is infectious. Our community is strong and united. Let’s close out the week tomorrow with another strong showing!

Sincerely,
Master VanBelle
