Smile. Breathe. Welcome.
Hi, I’m Dana Charvet, owner & chief instructor. We are Morro Bay’s premiere martial arts facility, located inside the Grateful Body Training Center. The Grateful Body is here to support the community through a unique style of teaching which goes beyond the physical benefits and helps transform the individual with a lifestyle of a grateful and healthy mindset.
I offer both the “Ying & the Yang”, that is to say, the soft and hard styles of training.
I joined up full-time 3 weeks ago and I have to say I'm so thrilled and thankful I did. I have noticed a difference in my breathing and energy and inflammation has decreased due to my workouts with Dana. Ladies treat yourself you will be glad you did.
My 7 yr old son has been going to this martial arts studio that does judo, Jujitsu, self defense and kung fu for the last year and a half, and I have been so happy. I've been around martial arts on and off through my life, and you can tell that Dana has taught a lot of kids. My son is 7, and pretty high energy; Dana has the right balance between skills, fun, conditioning, and to keep him interested and learning. His belts rankings are earned, and feels like a real accomplishment. It's clean, my son gets individual attention, and is well priced. You can tell by the wall of belt certificates that Dana has put in his time learning, too. All around a great experience.
An awesome place to study Martial Arts! Since I have been taking classes in kickboxing it has help me in many positive ways. My self- confidence, focus, mood, strength have improved tremendously. Sensei Dana is a incredible teacher and is big on technique! His year's in the Martial Arts industry shows by all his expertise and talent. .. top notch! I am in my 50's and wanted to try something new and fun and found Kickboxing to get in shape but it has done much more for me:) I love the smaller classes because you get the individual attention and progress a lot faster. I highly recommend Morro Bay Martial Arts!
