The respect and the way they train people is amazing. They're very patient even with older people. It's a great place to work out and feel good about it. read more

Great class, awesome trainers & coaches! Learned alot about the fundamentals of striking, movement, shoulder/leg positioning. The coaches here are awesome at what they do!! read more

Excellent gym, excellent coaches. God willing I will have my kids train here too one day

BEWARE: NOT MILITARY OR SHIFT WORK FRIENDLY Do not sign up if you work different shifts or if you're military. As you can see from all the other one star reviews, it's a pretty trash system. They don't give you any chance to cancel if life emergencies come up. I will say they do give you a 3 month break to "figure it out". Like I can just tell my boss I want dayshift, if I could then I wouldn't be asking for a cancellation right? I was then tasked for a short notice deployment and told them, these fuckers tried to send me to collections even though I only had a week to prepare. Overall, would definitely not recommend. Go to another gym that has a friendlier contract because all these guys care about is having you sign then taking your money. read more

Love it here! So much to learn. Great teachers with the knowledge to get you wherever you want to go. Jujitsu class is where it's at! But training anywhere there is worth it every penny. Thank you T4L! read more

Train 4 Life - Boxing Near Me - Fairfield, California

We were looking to get our sons 7 and 5 at the time into martial arts. Looked around the immediate area and T4L stood out. From the moment we walked in to where we are now 6 months later, we have felt a genuine family vibe. The staff is friendly and professional. Although there is a family vibe it is important to understand and respect the business aspect of it too. Be sure you are ready to commit and honor contracts that you sign. During our time here my son was injured during training. The staff continuously checked on him during the time he was out. They also froze the account so that we did not have to pay during his recovery time. That is an honorable and professional business practice. My son is currently in jits and the instructor does a phenomenal job balancing discipline with fun. I will keep bringing my kids here and as soon as my baby is old enough he will be in too. read more

My Grandson started training over the summer for his upcoming school wrestling team. Every night after training Jayden would mention all of the instructors as well as students. He thoroughly enjoyed the classes with the utmost professional and courteous instructors. He intends to return for training after the completion of wrestling season. Thank you Train4Life I am one grateful Nana. See you next year! read more

BEWARE!!! Wow, I am extremely disappointed. Not only was I charged for services not utilized for a whole year, but they referred the account to a debt collection agency. My son and I never stepped a foot in the facility after the initial review. I will be speaking to my lawyer. This is not okay. BEWARE!!!! read more

Love this place but we are in a fairly insane health crisis people! They need to do a better job of cleaning and air circulation. There's like 50 kids and 25 parents all at the same time and not a single fan on! C'mon! ‍ read more

My 8 year old just loved the classes. I really liked that the instructors were patient, knowledgeable, yet fun. The best part is that my son had access to multiple classes so he could try different things, all for one low price. Thank you for providing a great experience for my new student. read more

They say, "Who you surround yourself with, you become. What you think about yourself, you are. Who you speak to, reflects." I couldn't agree more. My 4 children, now ages 24, 23, 21, and 15, have been a part of Wahiawa Kajukenbo since 2007. Although the three older kids didn't go as far into their martial arts journey as we would have liked, the 15 year old is a true reflection of the Ramos Family foundation - from Grandmaster Tony Ramos, Sifu Sonny Ramos, Aunty Ady, and Sibak Richard to Wahiawa Kajukenbo Foundation and Train 4 Life. My son was and still is pretty anxious during stressful situations, such as test performance or during high level competition. GM Tony taught my child at an early age how to clear his mind and breathe while harnessing his knowledge and skill set to catapult him forward. Sifu Sonny continues his father's teaching with not just my son during competitions, but with every student (adult and child) that steps on to the dojo mats. My son's confidence in his skill set did not come easy though. Tough love is what the Ramos Family gives. My son was not given a participation medal or ranking, it was earned through hard work, lots of tears, and moments of doubt. It's something that has shaped who my son is as a young man. Although martial arts can be seen as tough, Wahiawa Kajukenbo/T4L has a soft and kind side to them. They are firm on setting boundaries and expectations with every student, along with all instructors and staff members, but everyone needs boundaries and expectations - it's what keeps students safe and successful. But, there is a strong feeling of "Ohana" (family) within the dojo doors. Everyone becomes family: students, instructors, and parents of students. You grow together, you have disagreements, and you evolve together. And it's not just the people within that dojo that matter, it's the community that surrounds them. It's that sense of community that I believe Ahgung wanted for his family to carry on, and I believe GM Tony, Sifu Sonny and Aunty Ady do it best. For more than 10 years, WKF has serviced the community by way of their anti bully program and free women's self defense. It's this very principal that encouraged my 15 year old at the age of 9 to raise money for underprivileged children, particularly foster children, so they may learn martial arts or wrestling without being told they couldn't because of financial situations. What I love most is seeing how my 15 year old will take the time to help improve technique (whether it's kajukenbo, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, judo or even wrestling) with younger kids without being asked, becoming their big brother and help build their confidence up, just like how GM Tony, Sifu Sonny, Aunty Ady and Sibak Richard have. We've seen people come and go over the span of 12 years, including instructors; but, one thing that hasn't changed is the foundation and principles set forth by Ahgung and passed down through each generation. We're proud to have our family's roots at Wahiawa Kajukenbo/Train 4 Life. That will always be home. read more

When we moved from Vallejo to Suisun, we were looking for a new dojo for my youngest kid. She was in 3rd grade at the time. She wanted to keep training but we couldn't drive her back & forth to Vallejo for a dojo that didn't really seem to truly care if the kids were learning well or not. It always felt like the way Sifu, looked at us as if we had Dollars signs on our foreheads. Every quarter, there was an increase to their fees. Although my kid was having fun there, but that's all it was for her, fun. There was no structure. Fast forward to when my kid started training with Professor and Uncle Sonny, the experience for us parents was different. The camaraderie between the kids training and the parents watching in the background was so comfortable. You can feel that family vibe. My kid has now been training with T4L for almost 7 years now. Sure, she's gotten yelled at or had to do extra pushups for making a mistake or something, but that's part of learning. If they, (Sonny, Professor and the other "Uncle's), didn't care about these kids, they wouldn't push them to work harder and try harder. I've seen my daughter to grow to be more confident, more disciplined, more empowered and be more aware of what can happen in real life. Some days, after a hard day at school, she said that going to train always makes her day better. Go figure! Oh, before I forget, I myself even took a Women's Self Defense class there. It was led by Ady and the insight that she gave from a woman's point of view, was an eye opener. I keep telling my friends and family to take her class and I'll gladly go again and take it with them. If you're unsure if you should take your kid to train there, just go and watch them for a session. We did! read more

I found T4L based on recommendations when I was interested in trying out Muay Thai for self defense and fitness. I was going there on and off for more than a year before recently taking a hiatus due to an unrelated back injury. I have to say the atmosphere is extremely friendly. Everyone I've met there, from coaches to MMA fighters to my teammates, have all been supportive and welcoming from day 1. No sign of overinflated egos or unnecessary negativity from anyone. There is a good mix of females and males there and of all ages, backgrounds and experiences. I always felt safe there and learned so much from Coach Sonny and Coach Terrence, whom are both super patient and extremely knowledgeable. They truly brought the Ohana spirit to the room and made my experience there worthwhile. I hope to come back soon and get back to the grind! Thanks all for the wonderful experience!! read more

This training facility is by far the best out there. Their instructors are great with kids. My 8 year old took boxing a little over a year, and ji jitsu for 6 months and loved it. They teach your kids respect, discipline and kids build great confidence. Kids learn the real deal of how to defend themselves in the real world here and overall they are amazing. You feel like family here. ​We hope to return in the near future once school work gets easier for my child. Thank you train for life, hope to be back soon. :) read more

So I thought I did one but I guess I didn't. Well, I been at Train 4 Life for 3 years come this January when they used to be on Main Street. It was Master Sonny who first trained my son. My son is all over the place with energy, no self control, and never listening. Well, he put JT in his place. Even when I start going going on the mat trying to get him to follow directions. He said, "no no,we got it" and shoo'd me back to the watching area. JT was good but then the trainsition from old spot to new spot happened including a new kaju teacher, but the new teacher seabok Kevin, didn't have him in check. We were hoping that it would change but got to the point where we talked about maybe this not being for JT something Sonny would never have brought up, I think. We were sad and disappointed. We thought that we should take the summer off. He missed out on promotion amongst learning new things. Again, we thought taking a break would be good and revisit wether he is getting something out of this class. When we got back, it was Grand Master Papa (sonny's dad) and Mr. Markece that took over. I know that seabok Kevin tried but my JT I guess was much too much for him and I was a little relieved. Grand Master Papa and Mr. Markece have been great at putting JT back in check. He has been promoted numerous times since, still energetic, all over the place, not listening but not as bad as before and most importantly is making life long friends and having fun in class. All that being said, this is a great place, family oriented, and we love it. So glad to be a part of this close knit family business. read more

As a warning to anyone who plans on signing up for a yearly membership, better hope you don't get injured. The training staff and student community are amazing, but as soon as you get injured management will not try to make things work. I twisted my knee, straining my LCL, and would have to take around 4 weeks off. Luckily when I signed up the staff said I could take up to 3 months off per year, on hold in 1 month intervals. Sounds like it can work for you, but when I asked to put my membership on hold they said they couldn't do it because my billing date is the 9th and I asked to put it on hold on the 11th. I would have to wait until the following month's 9th to then put a hold on my account for 1 month, and that there was "nothing they could do" as it was their billing company's policy. I asked if I could just take the month off and we could put my payment for the following month on hold, but they said they couldn't do that. When I asked if there was any way I could stall my account at all for time that I could not use the classes and was told that it was out of their hands. I even talked to one of the owners with this problem and he said that there was nothing they could do. That's about a clear an answer as possible what they think of you. Great classes, just don't get injured cause they won't help you. read more

Awesome school for Kajukenbo training. I learned a lot in the little time that I was there. Would recommend this school to everyone.

Loved the circuit workout I did today! The class coach was very attentive and corrected my mechanics so I can get the most out of my workout without risking injury. He also reassured me that this isn't a contest and to not be afraid to modify or go at my own pace. This Helped me to feel more confident about being there. I Can't wait to go again next week! read more

This place is amazing. The gym is clean and well-maintained. The coaches are knowledgeable and everyone in the classes are extremely welcoming and friendly! There's no egos in this gym which makes it exciting to come back again and again because everyone who trains in train 4 life is there to grow and become a better person. I highly recommend everyone to join the boxing and kickboxing classes! read more

If you or your children are interested in learning martial arts, whether it be for self-defense, hobby, or competition, look no further than Train 4 Life. This place is a gem within the Suisun City community, offering high level instruction from experienced and knowledgeable coaches. Sonny Ramos, the head striking coach, is the grandson of one of the original founders of American Kajukenbo in the 1960s! Martial arts is in his blood and he has coached multiple amateur and professional MMA fighters to great success. The Jiu-jitsu instructor, Thomas Haley, is a black belt under 3x no-gi world champion Bryant Pangelinan with more than 10 years of experience. He is a fierce competitor himself, and is truly passionate about the sport. He knows the ins and outs of jiu-jitsu and pays great attention to detail, making sure that his students really understand the concepts he teaches. These are just a few examples, but no matter what you choose to do, whether that be boxing, kajukenbo, muay thai, traditional bjj, no-gi bjj, wrestling, mma or fitness training, you will be in good hands. Beyond martial arts, Train 4 life is a place of good values, community, and excellence. It is made up of a diverse group of awesome men, women, and youngsters who are the heart and soul of this dojo. I can definitely say that choosing to train here was the right decision for myself. I feel 10x better now than I did the day I first stepped on that mat. That is thanks to the uplifting spirit of the gym, the training partners who push me to my limits, and the talented individuals who motivate me to be better not only as a martial artist, but as a human being. Do yourself a favor and start training! read more

This place is epic. My son has been training with T4L for almost 2 years. His physical abilities, his behavior in school and attitude has positively changed. His teacher at his elementary school says he switches from play-time to learning time faster than other students. I'm at ease knowing my son can defend himself. Watching him shadow box and fight makes me happy. Lol To make a long story short, T4L will reinforce your physical and mental health, which in my book is priceless. read more

If you're looking for a structured environment, with fun, active coaches, this is your one stop shop! My husband and I signed our 3 boys up in December 2018, and there has not been one day that we have regretted that decision. The whole place is full of educated, well trained coaches. We started with one class and quickly moved up to two classes. We thoroughly enjoy this dojo. They make everyone feel welcome. read more

Amazing training environment offering classes and training sessions of various disciplines. There is definitely something here for EVERYONE, no matter what your goals are. Martial Arts, Combat Sports, Fitness, or all of the above this spot got you covered. The coaching staff is legit! Highly qualified in the areas of Kajukenbo, Boxing, Kickboxing/ Muay Thai, Jiujitsu, Judo, MMA, and Fitness. Check it out try a class, or try them ALL. read more

They are absolutely amazing with kids, and also a great place for adults to train as well!

Cant Stop! Wont Stop! Train4Life! Awesome gym with even Awesome people and Coaches! I was really apprehensive about coming here because I had zero martial arts experience but the coaches and even fellow students changed that quickly for me. Teammates are very supportive, encouraging and helpful. The gym itself is a fun and clean environment. Excellent set up with outstanding coaches who all run exceptional programs daily from: Boxing, Kids/Adults Gi/NoGi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Fitness Boot Camp, Kajukenbo, Muay Thai, and Yoga. The staff up front are very warm, personable and friendly. They make sure to acknowledge you and address you by name every-time you're there. They offer all the gear you need at reasonable prices and encourage you to come out to events where fellow members will be competing. Really grateful I joined and strongly suggest you give it a try if you're on the fence like I was! read more

One stop shop for Martial Arts and Fitness! All the instructors are certified, black belts or brown belts and/or champions in their respective sport. Karate/Kajukenbo, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, Judo, Kickboxing, Strength, Conditioning and Fitness classes. Competition Teams. Ages 4 and up. Something for everyone at every level, beginners to pros. read more

BEWARE SHADY PRACTICES! I cancelled my membership 3 years ago and now all of a sudden my credit score is in the dirt because they're saying I owe them money. I can't believe this. They act so nice and then screw you over. read more

Shady business practices with their contracts. They get you to sign a 2 year contract, and will NOT let you cancel- even if you move out of state. They do not respond to emails. Very rude and unhelpful. read more

The employees and owner try to present an honest atmosphere. When you initially sign up they tell you that you can cancel at anytime. Well we decided that over $200 a month was way too expensive. So we canceled. Three years later, without hearing anything from them at all, they sent us to collections for over $700. That goes against their dumb integrity principles that they make the children recite. Locking people into dishonest contracts are the only way they stay in business. I have found they have many people in collections who simply wanted out. read more

I showed up as a black belt. Whenever people go to new schools I always tell them to ask themselves these questions: Will it be a community of people and not just a place to train? Will it be safe AND productive? Will it push you to hone your skills? Are egos in check? This place excels across the board but ALSO is VERY technical. It's ego is humble and it's work ethic dedicated. You'll not just learn top tier skills, but you'll make friends, get in shape, and have a new community. Places like this are a gem. They get 5/5. I'd give them move if I could. BJJ/judo/kick boxing/Kempo/fitness and I believe yoga and more all under one roof. If you wanna learn to fight for self defense, get in shape, get into MMA, or learn traditional martial arts styles this is the place, that's a rare mix under one roof. I'm a black belt in BJJ and I learned here and they have my full support. They welcomed me with open arms. read more

When I was a tutor almost 10 years ago, I had a student who had problems focusing and getting to his work. I suggested to his mom she enroll him a sport to learn to listen to direction and focus. She brought him to Train for Life because it happened to be near her home. Within 2 months, his grade raised dramatically. Years later, when my son wanted to take a martial art, I knew right where to go. Train 4 Life has the family atmosphere I was looking for. That is important because if a child must be disciplined, they know that it comes from a place of love. From the instructors, staff to other parents and families, this gym is nothing but love. If you are looking for a just a gym, you can go anywhere. However, if you are looking for a sense of community and instructors who know your child for who they are and who they can be, then you have found your home. ( adult classes rock too!) read more

My son has been going to Trajn 4 Life for 6 months now. I love that they give you the opportunity to try out a class for free for a week. We all know kids can change their minds. My son started with the Kaju class which was amazing but it wasn't for him. He wanted to try Jui-Jitsu so we transferred him to that class and he fell in love with that class. He has been doing it since. I love the atmosphere. It's very family oriented. The coaches are amazing as are the owners and everyone who works in the office. They really do make you feel like part of the family. read more

I started my fitness journey at Train4Life over a year and a half ago and it was the best decision I made for myself. I love taking their boxing and kickboxing classes. They definitely kick my butt! I've learned so much and have made many valuable connections here. Would recommend it to anyone who is serious about making a lifestyle change or is looking to try something new! read more

Don't count on being able to have digital correspondence. 2 stars since I really can't speak to what it's like to interact with coaches or staff or have taken a class because it's been almost impossible to get ahold of anyone over text message, Facebook messager, or email which is listed on their site. Their hours of operation are funky which is totally fine but it's just not compatible with my lifestyle to only be able to leave voicemails even during their hours of operation, to get call backs when I'm unable to speak; I have gotten voicemails to call back sometimes. It's 2023 so it's hard to believe no one can text, I originally was advised to reach out over FB messager and messaged briefly before leaving my number and then someone's personal cell called me which I can't track down more. More so, I was reaching out for a woman's self defense class and when I said my work schedule just doesn't allow me to take their regular advertised classes the person on the phone, they tried to tell me to just tell work to let me off early and when I said my work isn't like that they pushed and it took a while for them to say oh well we have a 3rd Saturday free women's self defense and then I got sick so I couldn't for June. I've been trying to reach out for July, but they don't answer email and as I said the phone tag is ridiculous. They messaged me on FB messager before, but now I'm being left on read. I guess they're only interested if you're paying money since I really am only interested in the self defense class. My friend really liked it here so I'm disappointed. read more

11 minutes ago Training was okay, but the contract length is terrible and too expensive!!! I currently take my kids to Apex NorCal and they do month to month commitments. They understand that kids have other, more important obligations and understand that the month to month contracts are what is best for their customers right from the jump. When we signed our contract at train 4 life, one of the owners told us that the contract was flexible but my wife and I screwed up. We should have read the fine print!! We haven't taken our kids there in over a year and we are still paying on the long term contract!! TRAIN 4 LIFE'S CONTRACTS ARE TOO LONG AND ITS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. TRY SOMEWHERE ELSE FIRST BEFORE GOING HERE. read more
