I spent more time with a focus on fighting and Sifu was there to teach me. As anyone who does martial arts knows, there is point where fighting becomes less important and health takes more importance. Now as I enter my 40's, the studio again is providing me with what I need. The focus at the school is really traditional in the sense that real kung fu is focused is on health. Most have been there many years and it is impressive at the skills and vibrant health they live with. For those who are seeking a studio where if you want to do martial arts just for your health you can, this place is for you. While the combat aspect does happen at they studio, it is not required and only for intermediate to advanced students.

YKM sports the Yellow shirt, Yellow pants, red sash and traditional striped red and gold leggings. YKM's students hail from the various family associations around the San Francisco Bay Area. Students learn the Southern Shaolin style martial arts and practice Nam Si Buk Mo lion dance style. I have yet to work with them, but have competed against the YKM students at various martial arts tournaments. Their sportsmanship, friendliness and positive attitude is what attracted me to them. Through mingling at various events, I've made some great friends. YKM is like one of the hidden gems in San Francisco Chinatown along with Leung's White Crane and Hung Sing School.

They make an excellent team instructing young children and teenagers in the art of YAU KUNG MOON BAK MEI and Lion Dance.

I had great training and made the best of friendships there, so forgive me as I wax poetic about a place that fostered some of my favorite memories. The instruction and training was fantastic. People are diligent when it's time to train, and during drills, coach will walk around with fellow black belts watching students like a hawk, ensuring everyone is learning the moves properly. Further, coach and others pushed me just the right amount to help me grow in my own way. They will for you too. The community was incredible as well. People are supporting each other inside and outside of the gym, basically like a family. Whether it's small businesses, new music bands, or a member's stand-up comedy gig, the people pull together for each other. Honestly, I've never seen anything like it. They've helped me grow not only as an athlete, but as a human being too. In the end, I can't recommend Rómulo's enough. They brought me in, beat me down, patched me up, and sent me off with a new definition of love and camaraderie. It'll be tough finding a gym that even comes close. If you visit (as you should), say hi to the gang for me. God I miss them.

The place is spacious, clean, and the mats are great for falling. There were instructors and/or senior students from other dojos in attendance as well as a couple newer students. They welcomed me and allowed me to work with the entire group despite having never been there before. Those who attended were all very nice and the teaching style was soft. I felt like this went along with the spirit of the art. This was my first experience with Aikido. Unfortunately, my schedule doesn't work well with their current class times. There is obviously great depth to what they are doing here. If you are thinking about studying Aikido, I highly recommend that you visit this dojo.

I was itching for a martial arts style that was more aligned with my meditation practice and yoga philosophy. Tim has been an excellent teacher, teaching me about the value of beating speed and strength with patience and movement. And how defense is the best offense. Tim's expertise shines through, and I've appreciated the focus on fundamentals and repetition that has helped me feel my body and build reflexes that are applicable for any situation. Also, I'm not gonna lie that it feels badass knowing specific pain triggers on the body and how locking peoples' fingers can cause them to squeal in pain and bend their bodies in compromising positions :) I highly recommend Tim for his expertise, humor, and kind hearted nature.
