The entire staff at Venture is amazing. I have a unique situation. My 7yo son has Autism with a…read moremajor glitch in speech and receptive language. While his first several classes were really rough the staff didn't give up on him. They met with me to learn how his brain works and the best ways to support him in class. They staffed together to brainstorm strategies, talk about what was working and what needed to be changed. They even brought in an extra staff member to support my son when class sizes were bigger and he needed more one on one support. Mr. Miller, the owner, Mr. Sam, Mr. Walker, Mr. Sandoval, all the trainees and other kids and families have been so supportive and welcoming to my son and our family. My son LOVES coming to class. He loves learning. He understands what is expected of him and his level of focus is something I wish we could get out of him in other areas of his life. If you have a Spectrum child or a child with other learning disabilities don't be afraid to give Venture a try. I HIGHLY recommend them. I'm so thankful we are a part of the Venture family.

My daughter takes martial arts from Dana and absolutely loves it. It is quite a surprise to me as…read moreshe has never been sporty and has never expressed interest in martial arts. She was in a group that took a little "taster" class (otherwise I'm sure she would never had done it) and came home so excited to sign up! She says Dana is "strict but in a good way" and she looks forward to her class every week. She is currently a high white belt and is looking forward to going for her gold belt eventually. Dana rocks!

I first met Scott through Chinese Medical school, where he taught Taiji, and soon thereafter began…read morestudying Bagua with him. While most in the Alternative arts and medicine community have incredible hearts and caring personalities, very few have achieved what I would call a high-level of practice, or, "Master" status. It takes a dedicated practice and training with highly qualified teachers (the 2 main factors that are missing in most practitioners'/teachers' backgrounds). Scott has trained intensively (and I'm not talking about a year here or few months there) with the best, and continues to dedicate himself to his practice to this day. Scott's expertise becomes more and more apparent the longer you study with him, as he never shows off his abilities or strains to prove himself. I wish nothing more than for him to get into the ring with one of these "Mixed Martial Arts" fighters, thoroughly kick their ass, and end that nonsense of a sport. Alas, he would never do such a thing. Scott's teaching style is very individualized, meaning everyone gets a lot of attention. He is attuned to the needs and sensitivities of each student, however different they are, and will adjust the lesson accordingly. From young children to older people, he has an enormous range as a teacher and instructor. I am looking forward to when my daughter will be old enough to begin taking kung-fu lessons with him. I recommend reading Scott's reviews for his San Francisco practice as well (don't miss the "filtered" ones), as there are some excellent testimonials of Scott as a teacher.

Where to begin, first of all about me and who I am, I'm 29 years old I've been studying buddhism,…read moremeditation, and body awareness practices steadily since I was about 12. I spent about 4 of those years heavily involved in aikido (w/ Frank Doran-sensei), kenjustsu (kashima shin-ryu) and kyudo (ANKF). More recently I spent about the last 5 years living in China as a full time live-in (gongfu) student of a daoist priest. I have been helping a friend teach some of his classes in the San Francisco area but have so far refrained from making it a personal profession though I have been encouraged to do otherwise. What to say about Scott? Having met various teachers in China, Japan, the US, and even some in South America, I have never met one that held a candle to Scott's mastery of gongfu (kung fu) as a vehicle for self defense, a cultural art form, or a vehicle for spiritual transformation, let alone all of them together or with an understanding of why they all matter and how they relate. I've met a lot of folks who traveled to china to live and train there, sometimes for years. It's really exciting to go to a place where it looks like "just in the movies". The thing about someone like Scott is... he's hard to spot. He doesn't live in a temple. He doesn't wear robes or have a topknot. He doesn't live in China and he's not Chinese. He doesn't even follow certain ritual forms of sounding profound that are standard among such teachers or drop buzzwords. So you typically need to have some background in order to see what he has. If you have a mature appetite for martial arts and want to train with the best, go check him out. If you are just curious and want to see what he's up to or if it's a good fit, he's very approachable and loves to talk about this stuff. If you're looking for cardio-kickboxing or to prove how tough you are to people, you should go somewhere else for that.

Didn't attend for a few months and realized I was being charged still. Played phone tag for 3 weeks trying to cancel just to have them finally tell me I need to come in in person to sign. This was after I told them that it is no longer convenient for me to attend do to over an hour commute and change in work schedule. I came in one day at 4:30, not realizing they are completely closed. Called hoping I could get an answer but there number just sends you to a voicemail EVERY SINGLE TIME. They are worse than big corporate gyms with how they handle someone trying to cancel. Minus 1 star for lack of class availability. 10am and 7pm being the only times for a newcomer to make a class is tough. Minus 1 star for muay thai training. Paying $200 a month and spending multiple classes doing ladder footwork drills that the head coach did in high shool is a bit silly.

Master Kim actually teaches the class (instead of high school students!) instilling confidence, positivity, self-respect, and appreciation for Korean culture and language. My two little girls (ages 4 and 8) have been taking classes for about a year and love it. Master Kim makes the classes very approachable for small children and adults alike, with classes based on age range/belt level, with many options to choose from each week. It is a wonderful community. I especially appreciate Master Kim's sense of humor and patience with the little kids. He never gets frustrated even if he has to tell them about 20 times how to do a movement correctly.
