Readers' Choice: Vote for Favorite Self-Defense Studio

Are you a black belt? Do you spend every Saturday morning taking your kids to a martial arts school? Where in town is the best place to learn a few moves?

Editor's Note: Voting in the poll will close at 11:59 p.m. on August 17, 2012.

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 Rancho Santa Margarita area is the best for learning those Karate Kid moves?
