My five-year-old daughter has been going to Shaolin Kung Fu Academy at this location since January…read more She loves the classes and has been improving over the weeks (e.g. kicking higher, getting closer to doing the splits). The teachers are very kind, patient, and motivating. I plan to keep my child enrolled for some time. Another, more advanced, class also takes place at the same time as my daughter's class. From what I can tell, the training is pretty intense, and I have also seen those kids improve over the past few months. Though much more strict with these older children, the instructors are still motivating.

We also provide pick-up for the afterschool students.

The kids adore the coaches because they're really fun, but they're also very on task. When the toddlers start losing focus, the coaches notice right away and have fun ways of bringing them back. When the older kids have ambitious goals, the coaches are very encouraging and help them overcome their challenges. For adults who are just starting out or are out of practice, the coaches are very patient and kind. The school teaches forms, acrobatics, and weapons, and offers opportunities for performances and competitions, so there can be something of interest for everyone.

The classes are 50 minutes, and open gym is a good time for kids to really practice skills taught during class, and try out new obstacle courses. However, when a new skill is introduced, time is not spent teaching kids how to properly execute it. The expectation is for kids to do it with one demonstration from the instructor. Then, if a kid can't do said skill and complete the course laid out under a set time, or properly, they loose their turn, are told to go to the back of the line, and they miss out on how to properly do what's being asked of them. Classes are about 50 minutes, but kids spend about a total of maybe 10 minutes trying apply what they are being taught due to large class sizes. Each kid takes a turn going through an obstacle course. The first 15 are spent doing warmups. It's a great concept but I don't think it's worth the cost. The classes can get very large at times and out of the instructors control. The class structure is not meant for kids that have a hard time waiting and have a need to move. They are punished not disciplined (taught), and those kids end up missing out on class time. Kids are better off learning climbing skills, social order and strength training at the park. But one take away from attending this program is to remind kids not to use their tibia or knee when climbing, but to bring their whole foot up. Which also helps with flexibility. This place is structured for preteens and up.

Nothing fancy, but run with love. Ron Lew (http://www.tigereyeclaw.com/) runs this center and…read moreteaches various forms of martial arts, namely Tai Chi. I met him through classes taught at Google, and am trying to get more healthy movement in my life, and his school is in San Jose, next door to my hood. I'm taking Tai Chi, technically, and he teaches the Chinese and Tibetan forms. I'm learning the Chinese since he teaches it at Google so I should stay consistent. My preference is Qi Gong, which I feel is more meditative and simpler in terms of movement (I like simple), but both are gentle enough forms and I am open to learning. One room has a firmer rubber mat, the second room has a "waterbed" format where the mat is stuffed with some soft material and walking on it forces your feet and body to constantly renegotiate equilibrium. Definitely a work out! Ron is a very Western-style teacher. He's said he's third generation Chinese and doesn't speak Chinese fluently, so, he's approaching things from a Western mind set I guess and can "translate." Examples - when he tries to describe the weight distribution of your feet he will often resort to % descriptions, and I think he knows a Western/American mind understands that logic better than other descriptions. He explains why he's asking you to do things, and why you are performing certain forms in a certain way. He is jokey, friendly, open, and conversational. He will test you gently by walking away and leaving you to figure out forms he's taught you, or ask you to do the forms with your eyes closed. He wants you to enjoy the forms versus to become overly fixated on perfection/military precision. That being said, he will correct you on incorrect form and movement. Am definitely enjoying myself and have referred a friend to his class already. I'm hoping it continues to work out and that we stick to it and enjoy it for the long term!

the center in question is not correct. The so call Tibetan was taught by me. We parted ways…read more The thing you must understand if you choose to is this. He did never meet my teacher. That is not true. My teacher was in Tibet. So therefore he could never have met my teacher. Second the Tibetan he teaches he does not have full authority and lacks the understanding of the teaching. Also he call a Lopon is a high title given to tantric masters. He did not go through the rites or transmission. It is disrespectful. Third to not name me but to try to make me go away by calling me a disciple. Rather I was given full rights as a holder and master. Full master. If you choose to learn fine just know there are Tibetan that are offended but choose to let it go. This all I have to say except he is not willing to talk directly about it. It is fully out of integrity. Just letting everybody know. In 1981, Sifu Lew met Master Peng-si Yu and his wife, Min Ouyang from Shanghai. He also met Master Hu from Tibet. For over 20 years, Sifu Lew was heavily into the external Kung-fu. He furthered his studies in the internal arts: the "calming the Mind and Healing art" through Qi Gong, long hours of Standing Meditation, Breath work and Tibetan Energy understanding. He founded Ti Aki in the honor of my teacher. This would have my teacher turning in his Grave. Just so you know.
