You can tell he has had extensive training and is authentic. I enjoy his teaching style because it is both accessible and disciplined. I've witnessed him work with all age groups from children through older adults and have been very impressed. He has a great balance of humor and expertise that really make the class enjoyable. I would highly recommend the school if you're looking for high quality training.

I have been studying Northern Shou Shu for over 7 years now with my whole family. This review might…read moreseem familiar because I have left a review from another studio when I first started this path. There are three studios California. I have been to all three studios. The one in Sacramento is too far for me. I find that this one is unique because of the two school owners, Shun Shifu Erika and Shun Shifu Rose, which allows you to have two different feelings of learning. Don't get me wrong though. All of the owners are not just training to become a master of the art. They are passing down the legacy of the Grandmaster Da Shifu Clark. Therefore, he PERSONALLY is in regular contact with every owner! I have met him several times and he is amazing and scary, but sometimes funny too. Now to continue but with an edit form from my review of my first studio.... I have had some exposure in a few different martial arts. Over 25 years ago, I had looked at a "roots" school of Moore's and was not impressed with the instructors that I met there and never had any interest in attending any of their schools. When I came across Red Dragon Shou Shu, it looked like a mix of Kung Fu and Karate. I wanted my children to learn martial arts and tried out their demo class. When I realized that it was off the line of Moore's, I almost walked out. But I paid for the demo and decided to see if it changed....and it has. Shou Shu starts out with harder style which I feel is good for beginners because they can see and feel the solid moves. As they advance, it evolves into a softer style, like a dance. It is a very friendly and family oriented environment. If you choose this style of martial arts, 1 believe that you will be very pleased with this art. I don't want to scare off the families that want general self defense, but this is NOT a competition style art. It is to save your life, not to fight. If you want to fight, take up boxing. If you want to save yourself from being kidnapped or killed then this is something to look at. Shou Shu is a way of life and with any art in life, it takes time to go from stumbling to flowing.

3/2024 This place is not what it seems starts off good but…read moregoes down hill real quick. This is a franchise Brazilian jiu-jitsu company (basically just like McDonald's) Charles Gracie is just making money off his last name! The owner of this gym Bryce I met him on 3 different occasions, and I remember all of them to include what we talked about. But each time he looked me in the eyes, shook my hand, and introduced him self like we had never spoken before. He was at the gym 1 time in the year my daughter trained there, most of the kid didn't even know who he was or why he was talking to them, and the kids that knew him expressed they haven't seen him in forever and he should come back around. When we started class sizes where manageable for the 4 instructors they had, then Coach Destiny left and everything changed for the worse. Class size grew very fast doubled in size, but now only had 3 instructors, and the one who made it feel like a family left. But how do you double class sizes with less instructors. Oh yeah you add one of your students in as an "instructor" lmao, techniques for the kids got very sloppy and with not enough instructors "adults" to make sure moves are properly getting done. Was very sad to see. In the summer you will get so hot just watching your child that you will need water. As a spectator for a 45 min class, which is crazy! So just imagine being one of the kids, not very safe, unless you know that all of your students are properly hydrated. When you mention how hot it is, they always say they will let the landlord know, well the landlord doesn't care so maybe you should fix it for your students, so they know you care. With class sizes almost doubled and location size still the same it leave very little room for students to train! With a slum board in charge of the building you train in and it being to small for the amount of student they want they should look intomoving, but hightly dought they will! There are other Brazilian jiu-jitsu company's in Modesto, that really care about traing there and not just making money so please do your research and choose wisely! Ares Brazilian jiu-jitsu in Modesto he's a world champ has blackbelts at all trying classes and the owner is there on a regular Less then $150 a month unlimited classes And if you want another real gracie there is Ralph Gracie in modesto much bigger location more trying room and more instructors to make sure training is done right! Brazilian jiu-jitsu $135 month unlimited classes And mma $90 a month unlimited classes My first review was only because I was told Bryce wanted me personally to leave a review, but after he met me for the 3rd time I realized, he has no clue who I am, and never asked me to do this! Or if he did didn't realize that I'm a man of integrity, and that as soon.as I noticed it was a load of BS, that I would call his company out for it! 3/2023 My daughter has loved it so far! There are days when it is a struggle to get her to go, but knce she is there she is happy, and having fun. She has definitely started to come more out of her shell since she has started her journey with her jiu-jitsu family! We see more smiles out of her, and it has been years for that to come back. She wasn't to sure about competing at first, but her best friend forced her into her first competition! Which was the perfect choice she loved it! She will be going to all future tournaments, all the coaches are so positive, and truly work for a better, more positive child. A Leader amongst there peers!! To make all around good humans and who wouldn't want that for there child!!!
