Readers' Choice: Nominate Your Favorite Self-Defense Studio

Karate. Tae Kwan Do. Jujitsu. Mixed Martial Arts. Boxing. It's all a great way to get some exercise and work off some aggression. 

Whether you take a one-on-one class from a Master Black Belt or you drop your kids off after school for a weekly class, which self-defense studio—you can read that as martial arts studio, if you'd like—in the Mission Viejo area is the best for learning those Karate Kid moves?

Is there a school that takes beginners into account, as well as one that works with top contenders who are way beyond their first belt? And what about those who are teaching adult MMA hopefuls?

Tell us your favorite spots, and why, in the comments section below.

We'll accept nominations until July 9, and then we'll put together our poll that comprise the Patch Readers Choice Awards for 2012.
