FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS ONE SPORTS ACADEMY?
ONE Sports Academy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young people across diverse backgrounds through physical fitness, mental resilience, and emotional support. We provide athletics training, fitness programs, and mentorship in a safe, supportive environment. Since 2008, we've been serving at-risk youth throughout Orange County, helping them build confidence, resilience, and determination to lead healthy, empowered lives.
IS THERE PHYSICAL CONTACT IN TRAINING?
Yes, our martial arts programs include controlled physical contact as part of proper training. All contact is supervised, age-appropriate, and taught progressively. We emphasize safety, proper technique, and respect for training partners. Students learn in a controlled environment where they can develop skills while staying safe. Protective gear is provided when needed.
IS SPARRING MANDATORY?
No, sparring is not mandatory. We believe in meeting each student where they are in their journey. While sparring is available for those who wish to develop competitive skills, many students train purely for fitness, self-defense, and personal development. Our programs are designed to accommodate all comfort levels and goals, from beginners to advanced athletes.
WILL I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIGHT/COMPETE?
Yes, competition opportunities are available for students who are interested and ready. Our advanced Striking program specifically prepares students for competition, and we support athletes who wish to test their skills. However, competition is completely optional—many of our students train for fitness, confidence, and personal growth without ever competing. We focus on developing well-rounded individuals both on and off the mats.
DO YOU OFFER PRIVATE LESSONS?
Yes! We offer a comprehensive Personal Training Program available daily from 8:00am to 2:00pm. This includes one-on-one and small group coaching tailored to your specific goals, whether you're new to fitness, returning from setbacks, or seeking advanced training. Our coaches create customized plans that honor your background and experiences while helping you achieve your fitness and martial arts goals. Contact us to schedule a session.
