Dave Hopkins Kung-Fu San Soo is a family-owned business run by an incredible family and a team of dedicated instructors who teach far more than just Kung-Fu. My son has been training here for several years, and I've had the privilege of watching him grow into a more confident, focused, and coachable young person. The lessons taught are practical, relatable, and applicable to everyday life, helping children build a strong foundation not only in martial arts but also in school, sports, and personal development. What sets this school apart is its emphasis on character, discipline, respect, and perseverance. The instructors genuinely care about each student's growth and success, both on and off the mat. They offer classes for young children, teens, young adults, and adults, making it a welcoming environment for the whole family. I highly recommend Dave Hopkins Kung-Fu San Soo to anyone looking for a martial arts program that teaches valuable life skills along with exceptional training.

I'm happy we have found a family martial arts school. I will recommend JSK Riverside 100%.

I don't fancy paying a karate instructor to spend 15 minutes at then end of a karate session that's…read more30 minutes long that I'm paying a lot of money for so that he can brag to all the kids and parents about how cool he is because he used to practice karate on his lunch breaks in high school, and he's apparently a math whiz. I would only know this if he told me... he did. He likes to brag... a lot. He brags to the whole dojo. Also a cult-Luke atmosphere. "I don't know any kids who quit; only parents who quit." So planting the seed if you "cancel" services you're a loser/quitter. That crap doesn't work on me. He likes to lecture the parents a lot under the guise of addressing "the class" I see right through his bull. I was paying $330 per month, but that's not all! Wait! There's more! There's a $29 fee sign up per child. There are tons of other fees. Tournament fees, test fees... $60 here, $80 there, $50 for this... it's extremely expensive and it didn't even work. I spent thousands of dollars in less than a year... over $3,000 in 7 months, and that doesn't include the months that they charged me after I said I wanted to terminate my contract. My contract was up. I was on the fence to renew due to the expense, the schedule, and it wasn't really accomplishing what we wanted to accomplish. When it was time to renew, I asked Angela if my boys could keep attending the same class because I only had a small window after school to be able to show up. I told her that I would only renew if my boys could stay in the same class. I overheard the conversation she had with Michael (because I was sitting on the floor since there is never any seats to sit in). He said it would be fine, so I renewed my contract for 7 more months. 1 month later, this happened: He gave a speech to the whole dojo. Parents and children included (another lecture to the whole "class" but he was really directly addressing ME). It was right after a "test." Both of my kids passed their tests and belted up. So he decided to make an "announcement", I guess. "If you have two kids in the same class and one of them passed their test then they are going to be in a different class now and you need to figure that out. I have a family who have 8 kids in 8 different classes so figure it out." It was obvious to me he was addressing me since I was the only human being who had two kids in the same class. If he wasn't cool with that- it would be fine, but he never said that. He said he was cool until I signed the contract and then all of a sudden he wants to call me out in front of literally everyone because I literally can't be in two places at once. I never showed up for a class after that, but I still had to pay over $1,000 which was a loss. Also, why do we need to teach 5-year-olds how to break someone's arm? That's weird. Like, I get "kick here; kick there." Do your blocking set. Do Form 1, etc... but why? Why would a 5-year-old ever need to know how to give another child a "spiral fracture" in their arm?? It's weird. He was SO JAZZED to teach a bunch of kids how to give another kid a spiral fracture in their arm. Odd. Kindergarteners! Scared mouse of a wife charges bookoo bucks for photos, another upcharge. She puts her photos on shirts & (over)charges for that as well. Very cult-like atmosphere.

Both meet at the same time as the aikido classes, but in different rooms. aikidoredlands.org They have other classes in aikido, kendo and yoga as well. T'ai chi ch'uan aka taijiquan class meets at 6 PM for group exercise and form. They teach what is called the Old form of Yang Style Symmetrical System. The main teacher also teaches at UC Riverside. At this time there are two teachers, The woman teaching the beginning classes is a former high school teacher and t'ai chi ch'uan competitior teaches the beginning class. She is also a veteran and was a pushing hands champion before she retired from competition. The teacher of the continuing classes is a Master Level teacher who has been studying and practicing t'ai chi ch'uan since 1970. There are several levels of students. Beginners work together. First part of the class are warmup exercises and ch'i kung (qigong) exercises. They are used for flexibility and range of motion as well as traditional health exercises were done. The curriculum is the same as was taught at Loma Linda University Drayson Center in past years. This curriculum was studied by researchers at Loma Linda University and found to significantly improve the balance of seniors and Diabetic patients with Neuropathy. Beginners work together and do basic drills that help their balance as well as learn the first form. The teacher keeps reminding students not to do anything that hurts. Continuing students work in groups and study more advanced forms. The class is one hour. At 7:15 there is an T'a-chi ch'uan Application and Pushing Hands class. That class taught the meaning of the movements in the form. The teacher was adamant that students need to understand what each movement means in order to do it properly. He also teaches pushing hands and sticky hands drills in this class. Small class with mainly advanced students. Low intensity, no falling as most of the people in the class are Seniors.
